ask for a pay rise… first have in your mind why you deserve it .Dont ask if you dont.

get rid of all non essential expenses ,pay tv ,porn mags (may be essential for some) etc

make a series of goals with set timelines and stick to it , it sometimes pays to team up with a friend that may be in a similar predicament. Like going to gym if you pair…[Read more]

If you use the rebate scenario, in the future when you sell, for the purposes of CGT, do you use the price pre or post rebate?

Hi Tammy , the CGT implications are post rebate . ie of the price is $350K , you had a rebate of $70K then your net price is $280K lets say in 3 years you sell it for $400K then your…[Read more]

Good point Dazzling , but unfortunately the media is a beat up of paid ads . A large portion of stories are advertorials (paid editorials). An expert is someone that made there money by doing not by telling people how to …

I think we should all be taking this negative media hype and putting it in our negotiating kit , to assist in some real…[Read more]

Once again thanks for your insight into information that is utter crap.

So these figures below are all wrong are they. The share price does not reflect profit , but being an expert you would know this.

Hello foundation ,

Wow , I am drained from reading the history of the financial world of Australia. Your insight definately creates some personal thoughts that I can overcome.

Please dont take this comment offensively , but as an analyst or anlytical type have you ever invested? Please dont feel obligated to answer that question, but with in my…[Read more]

Happy B’day DraconisV,

i think you are mad even considering paying too much for something at the top of the market , yield reflects a lag in rental movement and it would be a major cashflow burden and will restrcit your ability to continue investing. Offer $400K otherwise forget it . You should wait 12mths and then you will experience what sydney and melbourne have been…[Read more]

hello all

From Foundation
“I like the price/dividend ratio myself, by price/earnings (PE) is commonly accepted. Your point being?”

My point is all of these ‘share experts’ quote wonderful sure fire figures , yet less than 1% could explain how their anlysis is calculated , so what does that mean?

For example the ASX 100 is based on the top…[Read more]

Hi Foundation,

Have found your post really intriguing and eagerly wait the next chapter ,

[grad] thanks tony

Hi crashy ,

still waiting on that calculation , or dont you understand it ??? ASX 100 and ALL ORDS ??? Keep searching ….

If you wish to draw comparisons perhaps you should know how the figures are assessed . Dont just read numbers crashy and think you are an expert! Learn what they mean by how they are calculated.

I am eagerly awaiting my…[Read more]

Hello elkam ,

yes you can accrue losses against CGT . Many of my clients are based overseas . The depreciation and other losses can be offset against the CGT.

Also using the NZ trust with a company trustee , this gives the ability to just transfer the shares of the company when you sell the property and the new purchaser takes over the sale…[Read more]

Another option that is very effective for CGT is to purchase using an NZ trust , the trustee must also be an NZ enitity. There aren’t the same Foreign Investment restrictions and there is no CGT. But with most creative strategies there are pitfalls, company tax in NZ is 36% on profit. It is simple to setup for an Aussie.

Hi Redwing , thanks for the comment , i am know more confused than when i typed the response at midnight [biggrin]

The properties i noted in the Docklands is stock holdings in completed projects (not Mirvac).

Also , yes that is correct using that technique you would only need $8K .

You must of course ensure you then have the cashflow to service your investment . Which if you can save $200/wk you should be right , without knowing your financials .

Hi Redwing and DraconisV,

the vendor is not imposed with addittional tax as they pay based on amount recieved and the rebate is documented as a discount at settlement. Similiar to Harvey Norman cash rebates on air cons.

There is a clause added to the special conditions the sale is subject to acceptance of the rebate agreement. The rebate…[Read more]
