Hi Terry

Thanks for the response. It is greatly appreciated. As this is a PPOR i has not put much thought into the structure as i would of had it been a IP but just goes to show you need just as much thought.

Hi Richard

True, I have two weeks before settlement so hard to change things now but out of interest and curiosity what would be the other options? Are there better options and if so why / what makes them better?

Regards

Neil

Hi Richard

Am unsure i fully understand your comment. The only two options are Joint Tenant or Tenant in Common neither of which have been chosen yet so unsure why it’s too late now?

Hi Catalyst

Thanks for the response. I was not aware the % was not adjustable so thanks for the heads up. Is there any thing else you can think of that I may be missing? Pros and Cons between each one?

Thanks

Neil

Also, is it 30 business days or 30 calendar days? If so would option for 45 days be better?

Hi Richard

Thanks for the comments, can I presume that the 30 day settlement puts more pressure on the Solicitor than the bank / mortgage provider? If so have you got any recommendations regarding solicitors. I am based on the Sunshine Coast but don’t think that’s much of an Issue if they are not or is it? Is a finance clause at 21 days…[Read more]

Hi Jamie

Have yet to speak to him about it. Only just seen the house so thought id do some digging around this evening before I spoke with him tomorrow. Having said that I also spoke with you some time back regarding a mortgage and you somehow slipped my mind so could also deal with you :)

So i am correct in saying then that the 30 days kicks in…[Read more]

Hi Richard

Have dropped you an e-mail

Thanks

Hi Terry

Sadly face to face would be somewhat difficult. I am currently based on the Sunshine Coast. Do you have anyone local that you could suggest. Am also looking for someone to deal with long term as i get more involved in SMSF / Property Purchasing / Trusts ect

Hi Terry

Thanks for the response. I do indeed have children. I would want all to go to my wife or visa versa however if something were to happen to either of us split 50/50 between my two kids. Is this something that can be done over the phone with yourself ?

Hi Jamie

I also agree with your statement but think my final plan will be too pronged. I think i am leaning towards buying new builds as part of the long term property plan and older properties with renovation potential in the short term. Ideally looking for properties that will allow for some profit after a renovation but ideally subdivision…[Read more]

Hi Jimmy

Thanks too for your input. As stated above i agree with Mark from an investment point that there are more pro's for a new build but like you I will more than likely purchase an older house for our PPOR as will give us more flexibility with regards to expansion / renovation / subdivision

Regards

Mark,

Thank you so much for the very detailed response. Put things in a much clearer format for me to understand. At this point i think the New build offers more pro's and will more likely be my starting point. I may still consider an older property later on as my PPOR as looking for something i can stamp with my own identity and grow into, also…[Read more]

Having just moved up here from Brisbane i can voice my opinion for the volume of housing here. Took us six weeks to get something and around 15 applications where we were often 1 out of 10 people viewing. Getting very tight up here!!

Hi Terry

Thanks for the response. All makes sense now

Hi Richard

Thanks for the response. I have spoken with you a few times before with regards to serviceability so i already know my limit. Was wondering if there was a way to increase it by not including her but did not realize they would increase my dependents by 1

Thanks for the assistance
