Maybe wrong place to post this, but I own (well bank owns about half) a unit in Melbourne.

I have purchased a house in regional Victoria where we are going to move next year. I am planning to rent out the unit - not great time to sell when the market is flat/dropping and gives some flexibility to move back if the move regionally goes belly up.

The unit could do ideally do with painting inside. When does the property turn from PPOR to an investment? I presume when you move into the next home, but not sure if it needs to be actually technically available for tenants at the time. I believe painting is maintenance and therefore can be tax deductible for investments.

If you want to do it by the book, you need to be not living there when you paint it.

Once you're put you can sign a rental authority and its for rent.

Then get it painted.

Most important is to get a sworn valuation by a valuer (not agent) and determine it's market value for future CGT purposes.

Also seek pro advice regarding interest deductions given it is currently your PPR.

There's an authentic looking one in Hallam, never anyone in there cos its twice the price of all the Johnny Boys and crap around, except a few old italian looking guys sitting at a table. Either that or it could be an authentic front for the mafia.

I'm tipping the latter. You should go in and order one, just to see if they actually make pizza.

Yes, it is the wrong place. You've got it all wrong. You post this on one of the footy type threads & it gets shifted to here by the mods later. At least that's the way I've been doing it....
The advice given looks about right. An undated invoice from the painter might be handy, as it will give you a bit of flexibility as you get organised.

I kind of hoped , i wasn't expecting top four though.

Things i hoped for / almost expected at the start of last season.

Freeman to get on the park and to be able to play like a younger version of Steven.
Armitage a chance to capture his 2016 form.
Stevens to give us some oomph in the midfield if Armo didn't.
Steele to play in the guts and get more of the kind of stats we saw late 2017. ( last 3 games, 95 disposals, 3 goals, 17 clearances, 44 contested 23 tkls ).
Roberton to play.
Acres to go to the next level. ( 1 great game wasn't enough ).
Sinclair to further progress his "elite" Status. ( He went backwards ).
Bruce, and Membrey to be solid, giving Paddy ( or Battle ) a good chance to stretch team defences without Nick Riewoldt. ( Bruce played 3 games ).
Longer - To try to nudge Hickey out of the team, Hickey gets ragdolled by some of the bigger rucks. ( SFA Longer 2018).
Newnes to be pretty much as reliable as he ever was , rather than completely spud it up.
Weller : after a lot of good news over the pre-season, didn't expect him to go backwards.

Do you people just enjoy simmering in your own misery or something? Considering Football is literally an entertainment hobby/passtime how about a bit of ******* optimism for once? It gets really old being surrounded by a bunch of misery guts on this forum all the time.

Yes

Pessimism is far more sensible than optimism. Expect the worst, either you are proven correct or pleasantly surprised.

no way they might come after me if i catch on, then i'd have to pay the guys in the gym on the other side of the princes highway to get them off my back.
( the one next to the indoor kids playground ).

They really have all bases (pun intended)covered, don't they? Horse head pizza special, anyone?

Interesting

Very

 

[plugger66]

Rofl. Jeremy McGovern would be the best player in our team

This thread is gold

Love these threads. Again we didn't chase him for some reason. Maybe lacks run. Maybe we need mids. maybe we are all wrong if we get the right thread out. Maybe we can be right if we get the right thread out. What I do know is we had a bad year. Worse than I thought. Worse than just about every single person thought

 

[VDS66]

I'm tipping we will finish in the bottom four in 2018...

 

[VDS66]

Can't believe how precious people are by pointing out they were right in a forum LMAO.

 

[triggering bro]

Nice edit plugger! I was only pointing out that impatient Saint was close to correct & you were a meany pants! You also had us winning 10-12 in 2018 so hopefully your prediction in 2019 is as off the mark!

 

[Jade Buddha]

Absolutely we'll make the 8. Just not sure which 8.

Predictions are pretty pointless anyway

If you get it right you really had no way of knowing but were just guessing

But

You are my new hero. Wow.

Glad I fascinate you that much that you quoted me and know how many games I thought we may win. I didn’t bother looking at your posts in retrospect because I have no interest. And yes I edited it again.

 

[triggering bro]

You are my new hero. Wow.

I thought I was always your hero. I’m disappointed

One day Charles, one day your turn will come...

I put a list of things that went wrong a few posts ago, that dashed my hopes.
Not sure how the Nostradamus types among us predicted that.
The Roberton thing in particular was right out there.

I like your posts most of the time, but this is just plain wrong.

Yes

Pessimism is far more sensible than optimism. Expect the worst, either you are proven correct or pleasantly surprised.

But what a depressing way to live

 

[Persevering Saint]

Reawakening this thread has a certain KevinHartesque feel to it...

 

[SaintsSeptember]

If all the things i listed that went wrong hadn't gone wrong , then we would have finished higher.
The most important ones were.
Roberton out for the year.
Bruce out for most of the year. ( Especially with Riewoldt retired ).
Stevens early retirement.

Yes we these three out , our team had less ability.

Long and Acres ( who was looking like a having a break out season) then missed big chunks of the season too.
