Check out any reciprocal/double tax arrangements that may exist between NZ and AUS. Also check out the company requirements (as in who can set one up, what structure is useful there eg: company and trust etc), see what requirements their financiers have or if ours will finance there. I think there are a few other threads on here about it. Do some…[Read more]

I think its only defamatory and slanderous if its NOT true.. and if these 'credible'presenters like Rolton would come and and prove or back up their claims, we'd all be much happier. the FACT of the matter however is that they refuse to, can't, won't or whatever. Any intelligent person would have to ask why that is. As Wealth4Life says, SURELY w…[Read more]

No problems. Glad it helped.

PM Me and I can give you some names and numbers..

A good property lawyer should be able to tell you but I would suspect it'd depend on the structure of the option and if any caveat has been registered with the titles office over the property. One for more legal minds than mine, but you can bet a bank would be fighting like …well lots of awful things really.. to get their security back.

Hi Christian,Great idea and great of you to do so. I'm in the thick of a few things development – wise at present and would be happy to read review etc. I'll PM you some contact details.

Thanks Gents – just adding another string to the bow! have one or two guys I can start writing for P/T to begin and then who knows. fingers crossed!

No problems.. Where above I've said MCU.. this can also sometimes be a Reconfiguration of a Lot.. depending on zoning etc it could be one or the other, just another term for you to study 

Good luck!

Here's another one: http://clients.estatemaster.net/webcalculator/WebCalculator.aspx?logo=FORSITE.JPG Again, its only for informational purposes, it may not be entirely accurate but would give you a starting point..

Try BMTQS. I think it's bmtqs.com.au – they have a bunch of calculators down the side in the menu that could be a starting point for you..I think your main cost would be a surveyor and then a town planner to submit the MCU docs for you.. get a quote and see for sure..actually be safe and get say 2 or 3 quotes so you know if someone's having a lend…[Read more]

DA is development approval.MCU is material change of use (which would be probably more what you're seeking for subdivision)Town plan will tell you waht you can and can't do with the land and what zoning it is. Theyre HUGE blocks. What region is it in? Regional or closer in?

Depends on so many things:

How big is the block you're subdividing

How many lots

Council infrastructure contributions

Consultants' fees

Are you just doing DA or going through to a flat land subdivision with roads etc

10K would be very light for a multi lot subdivision. Doing a 'splitter' or subdividing one block into to can cost closer to…[Read more]

Hi Qlds007Whats the PIL from ASC? I haven't had a chance to update on all this yet….

Never say die mate. Ever. There is ALWAYS a way to do something. Always. IT may not happen as fast as you want, or even how you want it to..but if you stay focussed, motivated, then a solution will come your way. Use the time it'll take to get some capital growth in your home and reduce some personal debt to learn, educate, make connections witih…[Read more]

Gday BoogzMate I'd never discourage anyone from giving it a go. If the research backs the area you're considering, and you have the legal, time, and financial resources, plus enough marketing contacts and consultants to do the DA, then go for it. Yes they do take a lot of work, sometimes they come off easy a lot of the time they don't come off at…[Read more]

Hi boogzok first things first, correct on Rolton. Grab one large barge pole, use to distance, repeat. Do not touch under any circumstances.Next, yes in 'theory' the process is that simple. Its the complexities that are a great deal more complex than Rolton or other seminar salespeople would have you think. the issues arise (and happy for others to…[Read more]

Only an opinion but CC only has positives for banks. Not borrowers. I'd never, ever, ever do it. Ever.

[/quote] All useful info. Thanks duckster. Do people normally go to these public website for most of the sources for development sites? Someone says some of the deals are made off-market. Anyone knows how to get access to these deals? [/quote] Correct – most 'good' deals are obtained through developing and maintaining a relationship with either a…[Read more]
