so you are fully funded and retired?  how old did you do that?  what was your income and assets at the time?  are you still growing or using all of what you have?

thanks but remember not everyones goals are not the same.Me: i could handle 3 new surf boards, and a beach shack and not have to worry about anything.  What ever can get me to that is fine by me.  I dont care about BMW's, remember that would make me become a slave to the BMW loan.  Why bother in 10 years time i wont care if i HAD a BMW or a hy…[Read more]

I dont think styrophone walls would block noise, best to use concret tilt slabs, or block walls filled (costly), or hebal is propably the quickest and cheapest option.  But being out at the bay, they wont get as many trains, get a schedule and see how many go past and till what time.  I live a train line and dont mind.  My neighbours p155 me of…[Read more]

yeah good point think i will just have to wait until they move out

sorry, i meant roughly 20% of the year left. As a % of rates that were claimable.

thanks wake,
Insurance details, were the property (shared land) insurance and incase someone trips on our concrete.

To get support from the committee is hard as the BC wont give me the details of any other owners, (she is crapping on about privacy)
Without these details i cant call a EGM. As i need 30% support (which is 2 owners).

So i was…[Read more]

i big solid bick wall and trees behind that would be the best way to reduce noise, maybe a solid gate for car entry too, could cost a few $$$ but if u are living there, at least you will get some sleep. Remember if you only save $20k buying there, you will have to get the fence and gate for less than that or why bother buying it???

$200 million upgrade,
one day while parked in the middle of the bruce in front of that sign i worked out that 15ks of road each way was going to make one extra lane.
$100m / 15 ks
= $6.6 million for 1 KM of road

I no nothing of road build but i bet i could do it cheaper than that.

why are we looking at units, contracting to the governement to…[Read more]

i wasnt sure i could as a thought it would be advertising.

It is a block in a quiet fishing village, 40 mins from brisbane and 40 from the sunshine coast.
It is in Toorbul. Very close to the water, from memory the block is 660 sqm.

Toorbul is not for everyone perhaps your parents can retire there. It is not a big town, but to be so close to…[Read more]

For your info Tara, this is the tone of the letter i sent (QLD Phone number, QLD legislation):

I was speaking to the commissioners office regarding my issue in XXXX St XXXX. I have supplied numerous times all the correct quotes as requested, up to 6 months ago. I was speaking with one of staff members yesterday who said you have not even lodged…[Read more]

exactly, you could ask for a list of all properties from eg $400k – $550k, and then narrow it down from there once they give you their lists that are in your budget.
I will also recomend Tony from Remax Moolooaba.

yes, i want to know the answer to this question too.
if i buy say a $100k house pay $30k deposit.
then that makes a 70k loan that is then running at +ve CF is that all ok for me to not pay anymore let the rent take care of it, and forget about this and start saving for my next deposit to do this again.

so if i have 2 ip in my name. and i set up a trust, how do i transfer these into the name of my trust does that cost money, is there a cgt tax, or stamp duty tax on this?

after the droughts my grandpa (farmer) had to do something similar to sell a certian amount of land to be able to claim centerlink. I am pretty sure he sold it to his son for $1. try CGT on that!!

well i dont care for this Saras advertiseing,
Can someone explain the difference between a company and a trust?
Also i was thinking at one stage to set up a company as i am a contractor but never did bother.
Could i have instead used a trust? What are the benifits of each?

can i ask what you do? 80k = 23 years, man that is pretty good. Do you rob banks?
Also the best advice i can give is, if you dont need to move out of home dont. It is the cheapest place that you ever live and you would get your washing and cooking and stuff done, and there are no bills.

is there a website for brisbane that has all the land zones mapped out for brisbane as this will save time, as the council is not the most efficient place to ask for help.
