New President for APIA

[donna]

So it was consented as a 'games room' and being used as a minor dwelling. Well, this will be happening a lot, particularly in South Auckland.

The PI educators in the area and in other parts of the country - e.g. Wellington have used the reno strategy to increase rental return. There...

I wish there was a rate range for services so you could add x number of IPs and or accounting entities and know if you are getting a good deal or being ripped off.

I viewed a property today and it has a minor dwelling that the RE Agent said - was consented as a two-bedroom property - yet you'd struggle to get a single bed in the 2nd room. But the room did have a built-in wardrobe and the RE Agent said - yep that makes it a bedroom.

So a property...

What if you have an IP in a Trust that has a corporate trustee ie a LTD as the trustee?

Can you give tenants notice if the corporate trustee Director and shareholder wants to live in the property? I am assuming you can give 90 days if you’re renovating or selling.

Umm too many assumptions about who renters are IMHO

Not all renters are employed and are therefore taxed at source. Not all renters would just have savings in the bank getting a low ROI.

There are renters who would do 'tax planning' in much the same way LLs do and they would...

[donna]

So they’re terminating the tenancy now through fear they can’t do so come 11 Feb? I thought they just needed to give 60 days for family.

Learn all you can about an area ie sales prices, go to open homes, research online re rentals available to check what’s on offer etc.

Once you know what your money can buy and the yield you’ll be confident to put some offers in.

Do-ups are great if you can afford the...

Hi Nano,

Scroll up - and in the Search box put in 'Asbestos' - you'll pick up a few discussions on the topic.

Re your 'concerned person' - it's probably a neighbour and maybe they too own a home that was built around the same era and it too has/had Asbestos.

It's...

This information is sure to interest some of you.

Umm she's talking about the Press - so I wonder how she plans to do this?

Hi All,

Here's a summary of the new changes to the RTA - that all Landlords need to know - and if you're managing your rental properties you will need to know the Act and the changes in more detail.

Good spotting and even with flyernz’s $80 added the weekly amount is evenly matched...if you can get on the property ladder.
