Hi all, Does the calculation: $300k (sale) less $128k (purchase) less $16k (costs) = $156k still apply if one has claimed a deduction on the pruchase costs. I think my accountant said the purchase costs for Legal and Stamp duty (and loan fees etc) can be claimed over five years. Does...

Congratulations! You are an inspiration to all and I'm sure to your children too (If not now, then they will "get" it later.) You have made a great acheivement that no one can ever take away from you. It took me a couple of years before I got over the "it 's October - I've got to study"...

Oh, yes - we got a trade card from Paint Spot. they were cheaper than Bunnies! Lindy

Well done Ozi, Great effort and great results! I'm with you on the project management versus doing the work yourself thing - the savings you get by not having to pay someone else is overshadowed by the loss of developing and managing other projects. Also, the tradies do it much, much...

Oh No :( Do they have RDOs? I hope so... Lindy

We have a house with 12 people, 3 showers, 1 kitchen, 1 laundry and 1 Rinnai 32 - only problem we've had is with getting AGL to install a larger gas regulator. Oh, and keeping the ruddy thing - it was stolen last month after a years good service (we even had the security cage too - our...

It turns out the Hospital (Barwon Health) is the largest employer in town, then the education sector, followed by the city council: http://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/library/pdf/5240/20.pdf Lindy

So, 600 jobs are going... But - It happens in 2010 (3 years is a long time!) 1400 Jobs are still there (the Stamping plant is just down the road from the engine plant) Ford is Geelong's third largest employer and not the largest (Who are the other two? Alcoa maybe and ???) The TAC are...

Problems We had no problems until we had a problem - they mistakingly setup our fixed interest loan as variable and I only spotted it when I was filing the statements earlier this year. The loan was a year old then and the statements come every six months, so I just didn't pick up on it. I...

Brenda, I think I am sharing your joy and amazement. I love the fact one can buy shares for a "small" amount (say $10k) and get a return (dividend) pretty quickly. For me it goes... I hold "good" shares (like banks) that increase in capital value (eventually)... AND I get paid (the...

I remember my Mum's advisor saying 'Buy NAB now' They were $4.60! (We didn't. Oh well, at least we have a Bendigo Bank shares to keep us warm) Lindy

"And lizzie, I had to laugh when I saw your love affair with no more gaps. One of our painters calls it 'no more carpenters'....." and my plumber calls it 'no more skill'.... Lindy

I would do the first "open for inspection" on the estimated completion date because (I think): a) Most tenants need to see what the place looks like and feel sure that it will look that way when they move in b) A finished, polished look says to the tenant - "we take pride and care with this...

Hmmmm..... Werribee! I'm packing a lunch and going too! Lindy

Thanks to Peter for a very informative presentation... so much info it made my head spin a bit. Maybe I'll look into the Sydney market and stay away from commercial (too scary for me)! Lindy

Hello to everyone - We have an 11 bedroom house in Footscray (Melbourne) that we have been running as an artists’ residence with an additional two buildings being used as art studios (12 studios 3.5m x 3m each). Eleven artists living together has turned into an emotional nightmare! So now we...
