It will be interesting to see whether you’re still so ‘hard’ yourself then, or whether you’re screaming for charity handouts and government intervention.

I must congratulate you on your success. I totally agree with you – I wish I had have been smart enough to buy up property when it was $30,000!!

You are a braver person than me. The Rocky market seemed like the safe option a few years ago, though not as easy these days.

Keep up the good work.

We fell for the same “bargain” prices in Mouth Organ, went for a drive to check it out, and quickly turned around and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. It was a real eye opener – not quite the “Golden…[Read more]

They reckon they’re very competitive.

I’ve never heard of them, and of course they make it sound wonderful – worth a phone call maybe??

We’re not paying anything like that over here in Qld. I’m sure with a bit of ringing around, you should be able to do better than that, especially since agents are scratching for rental properties over there, aren’t…[Read more]

I have dealt with NRMA, who I found to be among the cheapest I could find (not necessarily the best product however). I also found the people I spoke to on the phone a bit dippy (you have to get them to explain everything very clearly).

I have recently changed over to Westpac (as part of a refinance deal) who seem really professional and…[Read more]

I negotiated a much lower rate with my manager, but that was because I have multiple properties, all in the same town 700km away from home! In which case they are a necessary evil. I must say my manager does a great job, especially finding and interviewing prospective tenants – I would never have time for all that! Just be aware – when…[Read more]
