I think I've missed the point here – why would the insurance company want to get involved in an employer/employee relationship? What type of insurer covers that risk?
The minutes will give the solicitor any heads up on issues with the building, then ask the solicitor if an inspection is warranted.
Change your profile to no PM’s & unsubscribe from any posts you may have been following.
is that the same place that you were looking at a few weeks ago?
As for the subsidence, will it require underpinning or partial demolition? Crowy sits on shaley clay so it is a reasonable foundation material. It may be poor footing design or construction.
How wide are the cracks? > a few mm indicates a severe problem.
if concerned Just put in a remediation clause (the epaa is quite stringent on the remediation requirements).
Land tax & cgt would be a bigger concern as you are waiting 2 yrs + before construction.
You are generally liable to remit 1/11th of the contract value as gst. But….. If you apply the margin scheme it will be a lot less – see your accountant yesterday.
As far as I know, they act as a buyers agent looking for cf+ sites on the web/papers. Subscription services gives you access to their ‘list’ but I don’t know what they provide in the way of service.
Interest can be claimable on the entire loan provided that you don’t contaminate the loan with personal borrowings eg credit card bills, new boat, holidays etc.
You will be restricted to domain.com.au unless you use one of the sell your own home companies who they give you access to realestate.com.au as well.
Paperwork – prior to listing (in NSW) you will require to have a contract of sale prepared by your solicitor/conveyancer (required documentation includes S149 certificate, sewer diagram, any home warranty insurance certificate of currency, occupation certificate (optional) – anything else to reduce buyer resistance).
Proper signboard, brochures, floorplan are indespensible.
Thick skin.
Generally, if the current tenant is taking a new lease of the premises then the make-good provisions are not enforced unless you require damage to be repaired (but you can request that this damage is repaired at any time during the lease). Unless the tenant is assigning the lease to another party, you would not enforce make good provisions until they vacate & the assignee would be responsible to make good, (make good generally refers to the removal of their fitout and patching/painting of any holes which remain).
Everything is negotiable – outgoings can be included in the lease (gross rent) or additional (net rent). As for repainting clause anything more than once every 5 years can be seen as onerous.
If you have sufficient funds in the new fund, then you can go and buy an IP but it can't be one that you already own (unless it is a commercial premises).
What you need to know is how much your builder is going to charge to restore the damage and the extent of the damage.
Who provided the report -the bank or you? Are the termites still active? What additional follow-up treatment will be required? how often?
Do you want your first investment to be a project or be able to be leased out straight away? Do you realise that you will have to capitalise the cost of restoration work not claim it in one big hit?
The bank probably won't fix any of the damage – it will just suffer the reduced sale price.

Why are you turning over tenants every 6-12 months? That is something you can address – are there issues with the property/lack of response to maintenance issues or with the property manager?
Generally, I’d say it was very low on an investor’s list. If it is going to cost more & return less/same is it worth it? It doesn’t generate extra rent, may save the tenant some running costs etc…….
Saw one house sell recently for $200k less than asking, Did buyers care about the roof panels, solar hws, water filtering systems, eco design, passive solar, low care sustainable garden etc? No – where’s the air cond, convert the pool back & turf the gardens.
The EAC contract has a provision for termination upon 7 days written notice from either party.
Too many properties have ‘wild guesses’ even if they have sold recently.
Write it off, you have ‘contributed’ or given these to the authority & you take the hit.
As a vendor, I’d be telling you where to get off. You’ve offered 75% of the asking price, you want a val @ 33% more than you are offering…..
A val is generally what a willing buyer & willing seller will agree in the absence of influences etc – a valuer will not then give you an inflated figure or risk their PI insurance – what if the next buyer sees you purchased cheaply? Aren’t they going to offer a bargain price too – you may risk devaluating the property.
But getting back to your question – these cma programs are a statistical model. You risk garbage in/garbage out. If there are wide discrepancies between the model & the subject, then you risk greater inaccuracy eg a 5 bedder in a 3 bedroom suburb or conversely a knockdown in a suburb with lots of established well kept properties.
