Thanks for all your help everybody especially depreciator. I’m tending to think that the self contained flat might be the way to go as the block may be slightly small to subdivide. Howvever I will check out both possibilities.
I am excited about the Sydney visitor idea as I had a similar thought a few weeks ago but discounted it because I thought…[Read more]
If you are running the wraps through a trust structure is the capital gains tax rate 30% or do you assume that you have distributed that profit to a beneficiary and the tax rate is their tax rate?

I have a friend who is doing this and achieving 12.75% net before tax (after interest payments on LOC loan he took out) on about $290,000 invested. He is making just under $37,000 and has a future profit sitting there of around $85,000.

Have you considered that maybe writing a ‘book’ is the wrong thing to do from a financial perspective. I am assuming you are going to sell said ‘book’ through a publisher where you will get maybe a 5% royalty (if you’re lucky).
I was always told never try to sell ‘a book’! Even a 12 chapter book will sell for more if you rip out each…[Read more]
You might want to also check out the Westpac Rocket Professional Package offered through Wizard. I got a LOC at 5.97% with no monthly fees and a bank account with Westpac with minimal fees also. I think the application fee was $300 for the year.

I believe it was the old ‘Buy it now carrot’ that works so well in all businesses []. There was a discount if you put your money down on the night. This is fair enough though, as I was given the option of cancelling the next day if I wanted to.
I guess it’s a bit like wraps – if you don’t get any money from the prospect in the form…[Read more]
You can’t actually use a lease-option in QLD as the only person who can enter into this form of agreement is the government. You can however use aan ‘instalment contract’ which is essentially the same thing.
