Thanks for the response Terry, this is a huge help – had one more question for you if you get a chance.. the title transfer would be due to a marriage breakup so it seems the exemption of CG and stamps would apply however to qualify for this exception does the title transfer need to go into my friends name or can it go into someone elses?

Thanks guys, sounds like the consensus is to buy my own split systems.
Don, its design and build but I’m having a fair bit of input in the design so most plans from different builders are similar.
Cheers

Hi guys
Thanks for your replies, I am chasing down the info required to sort this out namely bushfire rating requirements as this is the most expensive. Not too concerned with the exposed agg driveway but after using a few A/C calculators online I figured out I should only need a 6.5Kw and a 2Kw, I believe that both of these should cost only…[Read more]

Hi
I recently received a quote from a preferred builder for construction of a 218m2 4 brd house in QLD. The initial quote was in the ball park ($229,000) but after reviewing the spec I noticed that there were quite a few things not included, after receiving break-out prices for these additional items the total build cost has blown out and I…[Read more]

Benny, what you are saying were my thoughts exactly however it seems they have not asked me to decide between the two rates and on the paperwork I am given both rates as if they can exist simultaneously, I’ll have to chase this up with the bank and find out.
Financial Broker, Agreed any sort of debt is a liability, however assuming this will be…[Read more]

Thanks Jamie
Yes it is a very cheap loan, pretty happy with it.
My serviceability is excellent at the moment so I’m not too concerned about borrowing capacity. I really just want to work out whether I’m ahead or behind purely from a financial point of view if I have the loan funds in the offset or am I better off not having the loan at all? I…[Read more]

Hi,
I have a ‘purchase land and build’ investment strategy where I buy in areas which typically have experienced a high level of growth upon completion of the build. My most recent property has a value approx. 30k higher than when I purchased the land (13 week construction) however it seems I am unable to access this capital.

Thanks for your comments Scott, I'm interested in your thoughts on this, the reason being is that I too used to believe that properties this far out (30-50km) from CBDs didn't see the advantages of capital growth but after meeting a like minded investor who has now purchased quite a few properties 30-50kms out of VIC, NSW and QLD it seems that…[Read more]

Hi Josh
My understanding is that he has not started the build, he is waiting for financing to be approved before works will start. He is building a house. The investment was targeting capital growth but structured to be positive cash flow as well but the issue is now that while the positive cash flow is still looking promising the capital has…[Read more]
