The orders were designed to protect X's litigious earnings.
The court knew that the passing of property and cash assets would send me bankrupt – and ordered me against doing so. The only debts left are unsecured.
There are 2 parts:
1. I am not to declare bankruptcy and/or commit and act of bankruptcy or present a debtors petition
2. I am not cease my employment
The family court is a farce – so none of this is a surprise.
My initial question is – if ING HAD secured property, and through sale are left with a loss (in this case 100k+), are they an unsecured or secured creditor.
Just ask ING to return your money. They will chase it up to the OSR or Gadens and return it to you. Ask for a bit extra to cover the lost interest as well.
– buy another house and pre-pay the interest for the 1st year. – increase your life insurance/income/trauma etc and pre-pay for the the year – take out a stocks investment loan and pre-pay for the year
I agree with wealthforlife; I will add however that homes off the plan in capital cities (with 10-20km) of the CBD seem to have higher prices than that off outlying suburbs or large regional towns. Having said that, the capital growth in these areas is not as great.
I have bought in the last 12 months 2 places off the plan that were cheaper that 5 year old counterparts in Ballarat…
As far as the tax department is concerned my old home can be declared as PPOR, until I sell it, which I'm doing (correct me if I am wrong)
I'd planned to declare the capital gain from November 2007 – August 2010, which may be 100k (or 50k if the 50% CGT discount is applied); and stating that my
Just out of interest does the ATO has some consideration for couples regardless of the 'actual' ownership situation..??
None of these houses have my wifes name on the title – my wifes house did not have me on title.
It was sold in early 2008. We didnt, or havent claimed any exemption.
I was hoping that MY old PPOR was considered as such until I moved to the house we are in now, in November 2007.
Valuation may be an issue…? I dont think I have one for that specific date frame.
Cheers
Unless your wife has shown a capital gain on her house in her 2008 tax return, then effectively the exemption has been claimed. and your current PPOR that you moved into in 2007 will not be exempt either from the period to the date of the contract of the sale of the house in 2008.
"Home ceases to be the main residence and is used to produce income for one period of six years
Lisa bought a house after 20 September 1985, but stopped using it as her main residence for the 10 years immediately before she sold it. During this period, she rented it out for six years and left it vacant for four years. Lisa chooses to treat the dwelling as her main residence for the period after she stopped living in it, so she disregards any capital gain or capital loss she makes on the sale of the dwelling. The maximum period the dwelling can continue to be her main residence while she used it to produce income is six years. However, while the house is vacant, the period is unlimited, which means the exemption applies for the whole 10 years. In addition to this, as the dwelling is fully exempt because Lisa made this choice, the home first used to produce income rule does not apply"
What has happened with your wife's house you moved into? If this has been sold and your wife has claimed the PPOR exemption, then your POR exemption will only be until you moved in. If it has not been sold then you and your wife need to look at whether half the PPOR exemption should go to both houses or the whole to one house.
The second issue is that your original PPOR needs to be valued at the date you moved out rather than the date you got another PPOR in 2007.
Hi,

good luck – IF, and I mean IF a crash comes I suspect those waiting for the big 50% saving will miss out because the crash will most likley be caused by
higher IRs > 10% banks will need a high deposit high unemployment
good luck getting a loan. be careful what you wish for
People bought in Frankston North for 60-80 2 years ago?? That's a pretty big exageration isn't it or perhaps you are missing the 1 in front. A friend of mine bought in Frankston North about 6 yrs ago for 100k (burnt out inside) spent about 50k fixing up and could possibly sell for about 250-270ish now.. that admittedly is pretty good.
yes you are correct I did leave the 1s off. People were paying 150-180k for a unburnt house a couple years ago and most houses there are over 250k now.
Frankston North hey, and people were laughed at when they bought there for 60-80k 2 years ago.
They are going for 250K+ now.
Its not the area you should worry about its the % return.
I have many houses between Chelsea and Frankston (not in Frankston admittedly) as I went out to Dandenong last year when prices dropped.
Frankston is a large diverse area. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the high school zoned areas which are highly sought after and will continue to do so as Frankston High School is considered one of the best public schools in the state.
Also Frankston South is within reach of one of the most prestigous schools in Australia being Toorak College.
