Yep I know my bank use to offer family offset accounts many years ago. Don't know of any that do it now.

Articles like this are on the news websites every week but this was one of the funniest. Problem is a lot of people would take this as good advice.

Thanks for the quick reply Terry!

I still find it very annoying the left and right of the webpage are blank. it's like it's centered on 50% width and it makes me have to scroll down the page sooo much.

Some don't visit the investment property and these are usually the cheapest they get you to provide the information.

Ask for a discount for 2

Also these SHOULD be tax deductable

With the hundreds of times I've signed my name I don't think one has been the same. If you change your signature I would suggest you update your bank, license cards just incase someone checked them.

Balga and Koondoola are expensive in value for the rental return now. As these are lower value suburbs lots of people have purchased them as a owner occupier. People have noticed this and increased the sale price massively. 4×1 760sqm were going for 300-320 at the start of the year. Now a lot are in the 360-400k. I own a house in the next suburb…[Read more]

depends on the terms good and what you are personally looking for.

Higher rents, more capital gains, future potential land development etc.

Saying you can only afford between 200-400K is a big difference.
Go see a broker and see what you can borrow as online calculators dont factor is many things.

This forums has a great source of info, I've…[Read more]

Everyone hears that these are the cheapest to buy, not always true but i have seen a few.

Some suggestions,

The main links up the top "Home" "Profile" etc should be between the protertyinvesting.com image and the search bar. Its is just wasting space having it on a separate row.

The blue column down the side with "Welcome" "Recent Achievements" etc should be locked on the far left giving much more room for the actual thread so it'll…[Read more]

Have you just looked on youtube?This is what I did and then tiled my laundry and toilet. 4 years on its still good and was cheap!I have not done the bathroom as I know it has a lot more work that needs doing but I might look into it down the track if the tenants ever leave.

I went to viewing for a house for sale the weekend before last and the roof was about half that bad. Didn't want to touch anything!I wonder if a sunlight in the roof would help stop moisture building up

Yeah 3M is just a brand of stick on hooks. I tend to like them better then other due to the way you can pull them off without damaging the wall. You pull downwards which puts tension on a bit of the paint at a time.Other sticky ones you pull away from the wall with can cause the paint to come with it if the paint is bad or old.

Speak with a mortgage broker and make sure they set up the loan the best way for your needs.Eg Interest only, offset account, varriable/fixed etc

Get them to use the 3M hooks with the tape. I've used these for quite heavy paintings and they have been fine for over a year!Some of the hooks can hold 2KG+ eachOtherwise if they are really heavy paintings maybe get some proper hooks and put them in yourself for them.
