Hi ozi..,
,,….just another thought for you is maybe an option between 1 & 2 ….to buy and get the DA approval sorted out and done.
then as you say..it isn’t just land, it does have the house on to return rent…..but now you have the option to sell off the land at any stage or even find buyers and build a house with their tastes/colors etc..in…[Read more]

an update…I decided not to go down the tree route as it would have tied up money for a long time and not offset my tax just deferred .
My accountant made a lot of mistakes but it was my fault not to double check…(although I always thought that’s what you pay a goodone for not to have to research every rule…[Read more]

Hi meilin08..,

Thanks phefford,
great tip…! I just PM’d a moderator and they said they’ll look into fixing the problem..
Your tip is great ,though…will try it now..

Hi grossrealisation,
I really like the idea!There’s no learning like hands on ‘REAL’ learning…I love all the posts
on PI.com about win/win situations and am trying to get a chapter of PI.com people living in Tokyo together so we can maybe help out with each others ips and pool info and resources.
Thanks for the idea and if you’re going to start…[Read more]

Celivia ?Did you contact the moderator?The search function still isn’t working and I went to email in the tech difficulties section AND that function isn’t working either??
I really like the search function and I think it helps newbees not ask too many Qs that have already perfect answers…I hope it’ll be up and running soon

Ooops sorry[blush2]…just a beginner…Did I overkill the posts?Can someone give any tips for using the search function on PI.com
(I usually keep it to one word quiries)
thanks
Ruth

[blink]Sorry PI.com but if the search function is to be fixed maybe it can be made much…[Read more]

Monopoly Man..,
H again…sorry when I said search I meant this forum’s search function BUT it’s down at the moment..However I always find that SOMERSOFT’s forums’search function is much faster and better than PI.com’s
(sorry PI.com)

Dear grossrealisation

“3. BenJones I’ll try to answer your post I think simon is right with the account it gives you easy accessable money if you need it I wouldn’t give this advice as I don’t know you situation if you were 18 ( and you have to be to invest) I would put it in the off set account and then lend it out on the short term money market…[Read more]

Hi MM..,
I’m just a beginner too(3IPs)..but to add my 2c
Just an idea (as I am just about to do my first,too)
but how about trying to do a cf+ lease option (do a search if you’re not familiar)on your current prop..that way you don’t have to sell yet..it looks better on paper to the bank,and the extra cashflow will help with next purchase.
BUT ,if…[Read more]

Thanks Terryw and jodieleigh for the replies..
Why,are these 100% offset investments all agricultural?I found trees(various types)wine and truffles! Any preference?Pawlonia,sandalwood,teak?
Also I found a few small sites on Aussie movies to invest in that have A-10 approval…
Anything else anyone knows of?

Born:Melbourne
IPs:SE.QLD
currenly living in Tokyo,Japan(the big Mikan)

I agree with TerryW…go with Bantacs ,,
I use them,and as far as Geography goes..
I’m in Tokyo!!
So I’d say from Brisbane up the motorway to the Sunshine coast isn’t as far as I have to go[strum]!
