Hi FreckleHouse is brock and tile, obviously insulated roof as we spoke about. We dont have concrete floors its all wood, house isnt perfectly orientated thats for sure… It would definately be the thermal mass of  the bricks re-introducing the heat inside, but how do you prevent the bricks from heating up ? You cant cover the house in…[Read more]

You only have to look on the news to see what a corrupt and unstable place it is.I hope youve recovered ok.

Again why would you goto a place like that.

"THREE of Australia's big four banks have had their prized AA credit ratings downgraded by one notch because of their partial reliance on wholesale funding markets."Sounds like another goos excuse to raise rates independantly of the RBA.

PS: Get a new accountant.

Either way claim it.I fail to see the benefit in not claiming in the hope you might get more down the track IF you sell. Better the money in your pocket sooner than later.

Fair point, but i suppose its all about timing. Maybe next month fixed rates will be higher than variable because of anticipated rises.

thanks bm. Im going to attempt to neg. with CBA.

JamieWhere are the details for 5.8% at ANZ?

You should speak to a planner though.

Open space can even be a pergola on the second story of a buildingPlot ratio is the maximum foot print of the building.So you have to fullfill both requirments. If you use the full 0.7 plot ratio you will need to make up a few hundres squares of open space elsewhere, for example a pergola on the second story.This is my understanding.

I came across something similar. Two houses one title. Unfortunately it was going for a little too much than I could handle at the time, otherwise I would have bought. Cashflow was excellent.

Theres still plenty of work here in WA. Although it would be great if other states could contribute more, it might mean we get our fair share of the GST haha ,yer right.

Id never goto Bali, so I wouldnt be there either.

Found this good informaiton online:1. What name needs to go on the contract? This seemingly simple question is probably the most important when utilising your super to purchase property. Unfortunately this is the area that property investors (and their advisers!) seem to get wrong. The name on the contract for the purchase of a property when a…[Read more]

I hate my insulation, I preferred it without. In summer wifey has the aircon on, then mid afternoon turns it off, the house heats up, and the only way to get the heat out of the house it to turn the aircon back on, whereas previously, it stayed cool because it was cooler outside.

What a nightmare.

oh yer, they were paying 220, put it up to 320.If you happy for them to stay on, then its good, especially if your happy with the returns.

On one deal, I included a condition that the tenant accept a $100 rent increase. It worked.Do you want the tenants to stay?
