Jim, I don't know if it has ever occurred to you, but most people don't have "their first investment property" subsidised by their parents. There are thousands of people in Australia who are homeless. Most trades people charge a call out fee as you are not only paying for the time it takes but also the use of their tools and their expertise. Like most people that feel the need to talk about their own wealth and self perceived self importance, I am sure you will not forget to claim this incident together with the loss of rent along with negatively gearing the interest rate when the next tax return is due. Unfortunately, I have little sympathy for whinging investors.

there might be a lot more homeless pensioners if it wasn't for the whinging investors who pay taxes an don't think because it is a deduction now the tax dept doesn't get its money sooner or later

$120 is a cheap lesson

 Hi DMaxer,

Wecome back, we have missed you. Merry Christmas.

You must be flatout peddling your mobile law office from your caravan.

How or Where you get my daughters first investment property subsidised from her parents, I don't know. I do know this. My daughter got her first part time job at 14 and nine months working weekends at KFC. Till she finished her HSC.

She did a double degree at Sydney Uni. Bachelor Science, and a Master of Nursing. All while working part time in aged care through Uni.

Our daughter has just completed her third degree. That been Graduate Law here in sydney. Again while working full time as a Registered Nurse.

She has taken out both Book Prizes in both International Law and Tax Law. Most of her books were brought second hand where possible by herself.

 

Both she and the CBA own her investment. We have not given her one cent, to enter the market.

She lives at home, I shopped for her second hand 2004 Toyota Echo 1.3lt car, with her own money.

As caring parents, we have never charged her board. Full stop.

Dmaxer, I know first hand what homeless means to me. I grew up with 8 older siblings and 5 half younger siblings. My mum, God bless her.Passed away when I was a kid. My father, if you can use that name. Took off with another woman, 8 months after my mother died. and had 5 more half bothers and sisters.

We 9 were broken up and fostered out. Over and Over. I was pasted from pillar to post, till I was 14years old. 

Yes I know all about tradies. I am one.

A proud one at that. I came up through the ranks, with a total staff of 41 at retirement. I am a True and proud Australian, that has and still dose contribute to social Justice.

My staff are all part of my family.

 As a Solicitor You would or should know a little about rental agreements. You could look them up in your old law books to refresh your brain. 4 weeks to the rental bond board

( All done on line these day in most cases where internet is availible.) For breaking the lease by the tenant 4 weeks rental to be paid to the Land Lord.(This was fine by the tenant, as the tenant was moving O/S.)

As for the bond. Our daughter is claiming the lot through the rental tribeual. Yes she has a Tax Depreation Schudual.

So where are you getting off on both my wife and myself lending a helping hand.The topic here is only how the locksmith gained entry into her unit. I have never seen it done before.

As a traveling working solicitor out of a caravan. (A first IMO, that I have ever heard of, I must say.)

However do you keep your files. What area of BS do you work in.

By the way. Without investors, that includes fellow GN's on here and else where, putting their hard earned dollars into risk investments , only to be torn apart by those,that you may represent in the courts.

As that is all they can aford  through legal aid.Or Freelance types.

Landlord insurance dose not and will not cover everything as a solicitor would know eh!

Just remember this. Without pain there is no gain.

I started with nothing. I still have most of it left.

DMaxer do you have anything to add.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas to all.

Regards Jim

 Strange statement with any forum there will be the odd statement that will upset some one human nature.

Thank you for your kind words and legal analysis and critique, Jim. I didn't really understand the "files in the caravan" comment. I have one in the tool box and a nail file somewhere, but no others that I can think of. Perhaps for Christmas Santa could bring you a dictionary and someone could explain to you what the word "locum" means.

 

Here is some advice and you can have it for free. If you require a tradie to come out assist, first ask his price. If you accept it don't whinge afterwards. If you don't like it, do it yourself.

 

Now I won't hold you up as I am sure you have to attend the Jayco Christmas party as their guest of honour.

'tis the season of goodwill, or so I thought. Why not *park the nark* and live a little? Who knows, little is all we may have left to enjoy!
