For the Hedland market what impact on rent/prices will the new housing and fifo accommodation developments have (including the 6000 fifo camp and 600 homes bhp are building)? Anyone with a crystal ball wishing to share an insight ;) (also First National will do 6.6% mgmt fee + 1 week rent...

:eek: Well that's definately put it into perspective my understanding of CGT was clearly incorrect, I assumed that the value of the property (eg a bank valuation) once build is complete would be used to determine any future capital gains or losses at sale, not the cost to build? If the latter is...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good financial planner in Perth? I found some threads about this but latest was a couple years old, bascially just needing a more educated opinion on where to go from here...I will post details below for anyone wanting to have a crack in...

I had to read it a few times to see it too, buried about 3/4 in: "Downstairs on the 700sq m Leasehold block there is room to house two cars" My understanding of leasehold (in a very basic way) is that someone else owns the land and you pay a fee every year to continue living on it. There is a...

Hi streetie, Its pretty hard to know if you got a raw deal or not just by looking at the tax you paid, for example if you earnt a cool mill last year paid 33k tax and got tax back then I reckon you should be pretty chuffed with your accountant, on the other hand if you earnt 70k then you...

Hi Want2beWealthy, It might be worth giving fair work a call before you hand in your resignation (just dont do it within your bosses earshot ;) ), they will be able to give you advice on your exact entitlements under your award and your other queries. best of luck.

You can contact OSR and seek waiver of the requirement, worth a try but don't expect to get one (just speaking from experience here), or you could not say anything and hope they don't find out, but I wouldn't count on that either....

haha, love it!

Hi Lizzie, I was looking into the same awhile back (although my idea wasn't close to as evolved as yours!) and from memory if you type "sell idea" into Google a bunch of resources will pop up....can't vouch for any as I never got that far in the process .... Good Luck! :)

I found out the house I'm currently renting is for sale by seeing it on RE.com ... then last weekend a for sale sign appeared in the front yard and today an 'under offer' sticker...lol :rolleyes: This is the 'wild west' though, sorry I don't know what the correct process would be in NSW.

I don't think this applies if the tenants are on a fixed term lease? If they are on periodic however you can give them notice to move out.

hi hamm, here is a similar link but with specific info for buying in WA http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/consumerprotection/content/Property_renting/Buying_and_selling/index.htm all the best with your purchase! :)

I have no issue with it given rates have to go unpaid for many years before council can put up for auction, if there were no repercussions I wouldn't pay my rates either! ;)
