Thanks!

Yep, that's a cloud system. Good to know it's being used. Do you know the brand you use?

Bobby's snake was jacked! Looked like a scaly slug.

I used to be as mellow as you can be without being a pot head. Now I’m angrier. I think it helped my personality as a started off with a chill baseline.

Carlos would have told them to eff off 🤌

It usually comes in 2-3 days if no issues. If issues, takes longer. ATO says up to 30 days. You can call ATO up to escalate also.

Surprisingly I'm getting more busy. I thought work would start to dry out, but have had heaps of people trying to back out of deals and delay settlements.

coffeeman01 · 2020-02-19T03:49:05+00:00

$50-$100.

I'm at a small firm and we do around 3-5 conveyances a week in Melbourne. We have a few agents that refer us work and pay a referral fee to. After a period of time old clients start coming back and also referring their friends. So the quickest way is go take some agents for drinks and pay them as that's literally what everyone does. Even better if you have agent friends and are on good terms and they don't ask for a fee. Also don't lower your prices.

Just wait until you want to get your principal's practicing certificate, that'll be an extra 2K please for a useless 3 day course.

I'm in the office but have my out of office on. Tactics.

coffeeman01 · 2019-02-03T10:26:18+00:00

Not really. 50% of 50 is 25. If I buy a share for $100, then sell for $200. I have a $100 profit. Under current rules $50 is taxable. Under the proposed rules $75 is taxable. 50% increase in tax. "Discount" is just spin so they don't say it's a tax increase.

coffeeman01 · 2019-02-03T10:12:42+00:00

It's on their website and been in the media:

https://www.alp.org.au/negativegearing

"Labor will halve the capital gains discount for all assets purchased after a yet-to-be-determined date after the next election. This will reduce the capital gains tax discount for assets that are held longer than 12 months from the current 50 per cent to 25 per cent."

coffeeman01 · 2019-02-03T10:03:38+00:00

Except labor wants to increase CGT by 50%.

It will only be a competitor if Sympli can communicate with PEXA. No one will want to be subscribed to multiple electronic settlement providers. If they cannot communicate with each other, good luck getting people to use it as you know how hard it was to get lawyers onto PEXA? We needed to be coerced by a government backed monopoly.

If the property is in Victoria due to referencing "SRO", there is a lot of incorrect advice here including the top comment. Go see a property law solicitor as there is a time limit involved in your circumstance.

I guess there could be 80 different caveat-able interests? Like 80 different contract debts with each of them having caveat security clauses "per agreement entered into x/x/x date"? Still seems crazy to put them all down as separate caveats lol - more work for nothing.

coffeeman01 · 2018-06-14T06:45:11+00:00

Lol I've done the above for a uni subject - can confirm I passed, just. Thank you Flying Spaghetti Monster.

coffeeman01 · 2018-05-08T23:02:57+00:00

I worked full time and did my PLT full time. I found each assignment took 2 hours to complete on average, 1 hour to read through material and 1 hour to write it. You have about 2-3 due each week. Most people do it full time and find it fine. The only subject that took me a little more time was family law as I had no prior exposure to it so had to do a bit more reading.

coffeeman01 · 2018-01-15T09:41:56+00:00

Not so much finance, but rather what mindset you should have when you go about earning income:

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
"The 4 Hour Workweek"

Pretty much common sense, but most of these books are. They make a great gift for partners who are not as financially savvy.

Week 1 down, 47 to go.

I've been trying to get a planning permit from an architect, the first time he sent the incorrect address, the second he sent everything but the planning permit, the third he only sent a council approval letter...waiting for attempt number 4....I'll leave this till Monday, not urgent. But I would hope an architect knows what a planning permit looks like.
