    [;)] If you want a good financial planner you should have a look at Steve Navra. I went to one of his seminars in Brisbane last weekend, maximum of 40 participants, absolutely magnificent, under $300 to boot. If you get the opportunity to go I would sugest that you don’t miss it for anything. Find more at http://www.navra.com.au

  • Topnotch replied to the topic Family vs Discretionary in the forum No Subject 21 years, 9 months ago

    I was taught from day 1 that a discretionary trust under a company was always the wasy to go so that you achieved the maximum protection.

    Don’t forget also about the land tax situation. If you’re getting up towards the land tax figure, start up discretionary trust #2, #3, #4 etc so there is no liability there.

    Why pay more if not…[Read more]

    Hi Cots,

    Everything that I’ve heard tells me to use a structure of a company with a discretionary trust which is primarily designed to protect you in case of any legal problems and also to have the best taxation advantages.

    I now use International Professional Services at Australia Fair, Southport. They are well versed in the speciality…[Read more]

    Don’t forget that the new purchaser is going to pay the cost of creating the contract in his startup costs – if you spread the $495 over several deals it’s not a large sum to outlay

  • Topnotch replied to the topic PATIO ROOF PLANS- BRISBANE in the forum The Treasure Chest 21 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Alex

    I design & build sheds, garages & carports on the Sunshine Coast. The Council fees are probably correct, the certifier is really the best way to go, he would only do a final inspection anyway,so his costs are minimal, the majority of fees are swallowed up by council.

    If this is going on the back of your house, why worry about council…[Read more]

  • Topnotch replied to the topic Ground floor apartments in the forum The Treasure Chest 21 years, 10 months ago

    I often think this is in the eye of the beholder.

    I live in a first floor unit with beautiful river views that the lower floor units don’t have. In my mind I’m certain that the value of my unit is at least $20k better because of the outlook but the lower unit owners feel that their units are of greater value because of the easier access.

    I always thought that the councils simply thought of a number, trebled it and sent you a bill !!

    Hi AD,

    Just had a look at the website, so many options but how much of the information is practical in Australia?

    This guy must have a massive staff just writing his promotional blurbs, I got tired trying to read it all

    Hi AD, Steve, and all the other Forum scribes.

    I’d also like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you all the best for a really prosperous 2003 and thank you for the information that I’ve picked up in such a short time. Only a month ago I hadn’t even heard of this Forum, now it’s become a twice daily part of my lifestyle. I’ve…[Read more]

  • Topnotch replied to the topic American Forums?? in the forum No Subject 21 years, 11 months ago

    I don’t mind some of the US sites, have been on a few and quite enjoyed the different views. It may be quite headspinning but it only takes one new idea to make it all worthwhile.

    I also enjoy reading other peoples success or problem stories, then you find they really aren’t all that much different from here and you can learn so much from…[Read more]

  • Topnotch replied to the topic Newby question in the forum The Treasure Chest 21 years, 11 months ago

    Welcome to one of the best growth areas in Queensland. If you’re not going to be around for a while, I would suggest that you buy the new home so that you won’t have any maintenance problems to worry about while you’re travelling.

    When you get back you should find that it has increased in value considerably.

    Sounds like a perfect wrap to me – the new owner should be most happy to do a couple of minor repairs
