That’s a tragic and sad situation with no winners. It’s just a total loss all round. Great sympathies for the families involved. Taking a gun to a property dispute is not recommended. Such a useless thing to do. The gun debate continues in the US. No-one seems to have the magic answer and the issue does not look like being resolved anytime…[Read more]

I’ve asked the administrator before for a “like” button, must be a technical issue.

Ask the ATO how to repair a split HWS ? They gotta be kidding.

If the cost of repair exceeds the cost of replacement, what then ? Spend more and claim?, If we made decisions like that nationally then they’d wonder why businesses were going bust and not paying tax and people out of jobs. Mostly, unless it’s just an element replacement, HWS’s are…[Read more]

If you ask the bank if it’s a binding agreement, what do they say ?
possibly one of those situations where you could win a battle and lose the war.
Banks have so much discretionary power, you could expect them to use some later.

Put a number limit per room and specify what type, and they must stay there when the tenant vacates.
A vacated property with picture hooks looks OK.
Better to allow the tenants to make themselves at home right?

I’ve found valuers to be very helpful and knowledgeable, and their val forms an important part of my DD.
Suggestions.
Interview a few valuers before selecting one.
Ensure they are familiar with the locality and upbeat about it.
Provide them with all the favourable comparative info you can find and ensure you get agreement from the bank and valuer…[Read more]

Heating n cooling would be obvious issues, they’s make a nice oven in summer.

If you had 3-5 offers placed awaiting outcomes on properties which you were willing to buy if your terms were met, then you are a genuine buyer, they are genuine offers, and you are entitled to make those offers. The strike rate might only be around 20% anyway, depending on market conditions, vendor whims, and your terms.
REAs would ideally like…[Read more]

If they’re starting to look the same, backtrack to your checklist and selection criteria and be more thorough, and perhaps widen the search a tad to allow some variety through the screening process.
Obviously if your process is producing the ones you don’t want, then you need to change it.

Good luck Johann.
One of the business brokers told me once that he sells the benefits of the location in terms of local lifestyle and local amenities, social life, medical facilities, golf course, transport, infrastructure etc, as hard as he sells the actual business itself, because if the potential buyer doesn’t like the area, they won’t want to…[Read more]

Suggestions.
First, research all your rights so you know exactly where you stand before deciding on your course of action or before talking to your neighbour.
Chamber magistrate or your solicitor should know.
Better in the long run to place the new or old fence onto the boundary.
He can donate the shed to you or remove it back onto his own land,…[Read more]

Try Manenti Quinlan Brokers – Ray Larkin.
There are many other brokers as well.
Hope your search is proving fruitful.

Excellent result so far.
Usually in this situation, you need to mitigate any losses by doing whatever is necessary to re-let the property as quickly as possible.
The insurance company requires this, as well as any court decision, to enable you to make a claim.
Under the abandoned goods act (in NSW), if valid in your state, you can dispose of any…[Read more]

Hi Johann.
When we were actively seeking a business,
we found many of the businesses for sale provided poorly presented P & L’s.
The ones we looked harder at provided the following :

Clear comparative information which made it easy to compare the last 3 years in any category of sales or expenses,
Good reasons for selling which did not reflect…[Read more]

Hi Johann
You already have the recipe for success, the youthand time to apply it, and now you are merely seeking or choosing the correct suitable vehicle.
Since you keep getting up one more time than you go down, and learning the depth and location of the potholes by personal experience, you will always finish in the up position. As you strengthen…[Read more]
