Hi Tommy,

Some of our Mortgage Brokers onboard could likely come up with a more complete scenario for you.  I would think you will be able to find a way that works best for you.  Meantime, do have a look at this post :-

Well, moving to Chrome has been a mixed blessing.

First, it FIXED the problem mentioned (where I was being logged out of my Internet Banking within 2 minutes of logging in).  Then I noticed that things seemed to run faster, so that was a plus.   And logging in to IB was a breeze, and a fast one at that.  Firefox had been quite slow in that are…[Read more]

Hi Raj,

I checked this out with our Admin – he tells me he has adjusted the link in the Bonus area to include this – full text below:-

That product is no longer for sale but we made the checklist available from the bonus resources page.

I’ve set up a redirect of that link to the book registration page if he wants to try it again.

So give that a…[Read more]

Hi Dawiid and others,

When I Googled “Rentrepreneur” it defaulted to Entrepreneur.  However it did give the option to “search for Rentrepreneur instead” – and that provided just a few topics in reply.   Seems that title may have been recently coined, so it might mean different things to different people.

Nice one Steven !!  Your last words are so true:-

This kind of mistakes cost beginner investors tens of thousands of dollars down the track and takes years to recover.

One of my favourite maxims comes to mind – “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance”.  Your post helps all new investors to avoid the earliest part of that trap.  More to…[Read more]

Hi Colin,

So WA does show this detail, eh – thanks for that.

I wonder who can answer for other states – maybe it is only the banana-benders who get it wrong?  :(

Hi Wan,

Keep in mind Richard’s earlier comment:-

I think you are confused as there is very little difference between lenders when it comes to servicing post Royal Commission.

I noted that English may not be your first language, and that the wording above uses an old word “post” which means “since” or “after”, so reread Richard’s words like…[Read more]

Thanks Steven and Steve,

I’d long been confused how Sydney could be reported as having a $1.3m as highest median by one company (a few years back now) while others report other lower values as being the highest.  ABS shows $1.05m as being the highest THEY have ever recorded in Sydney (Jun 2017).  Steve, perhaps your comment here serves me best r…[Read more]
