I drive a green 79 HZ Premier with a 308 n a black vinyl roof. I’ve had it for 8 years, its real tidy n i love it. I know every nut n bolt, & I’ll drive it for many years yet. I doubt i’d ever buy a factory new car.

Do it yourself. If there is something you don’t know how to do… do it anyway. If your any good at all with tools etc, you’ll make it up as you go along. (thats not saying you don’t come up with a plan… but a good plan is a flexible plan).

People who are good with tools simply have used them more than those who aren’t. Its worth it ten…[Read more]

I’ve been crunching a lot of numbers lately, and i’ve found (unless i’m stuffing my numbers up), that, if i borrow the whole lot including trans costs, a 60-150k property will still loose me money before tax even if i charge 120pw for the 60K and 300pw for the 150K property.

If i buy right, my LVR won’t be the killer, it’ll be my DSR! As i’m…[Read more]

Thanks guys, i’m starting to get a better picture…. [cap]

I’m leaning towards the idea of buying a whole block of units. Whilst i can definately see myself buying single units as well, i like the idea of not having to deal with other owners regarding changes, fixups etc, and i like the economy of scale in the purchase. But you do pay a…[Read more]

I too would greatly benifit from any tips n general rules of thumb regarding unit purchases.
What is LMI?

I’d be interested also to see if there are many advantages/disadvantages over buying separate units in a building, or buying the whole building itself.

I like the idea of units, but know next to nothing about them.

What are the yearly…[Read more]

I work in the mines. [builder] Mining powers australia’s economy.

I’d like to see someone try n tell all the mining pty’s that they’ve gotta park up there fleets for 24hrs, n shut down all those pesky iron ore trains & export ships, & turn around all those fuel roadtrains enroute to sites, n such.

It’d be worth it, because the industry wouldn’t…[Read more]

Definately a beginners book. Its perfect for me.
In well writen laymans terms, he walks you through (broad strokes) all the steps and stages of building a single story 4 unit development.

Captain Picard,

It was with great delight and humour that i viewed your call sign… nice work dude.[biggrin]

I’ve a question. I am greatly interested in what database you are using, and how you gain access to it. (as u said, the same one RP data, aust business research, and nat resources & mines use). Whats it cost?

Very interested…[Read more]

Have a look at the ‘Help Needed’ forum topic “Perth, where to invest”. There’s a dude in there called TMA, who’s realy loves Geraldton.
I’m sure if you send him an email, he’ll be able to point you in the right direction…

Yup, [strum]

That link will take you there. I’ve bought it, haven’t had chance to read much of it yet, but i think it has much promise.

Its the lifestyle. Very transient, not much time for family, unless you live in a tiny mining town. I’ve seen a lot of people divorced in the mines. Kal was about as small as i think i could ever handle, so for me, as long as i’m in the mines, its fly in fly out. Moneys good, and you get a lot of responsibility at a young age, so thats good…[Read more]

Sue because you can, not because you should….Sh%ts me to tears….

Mike,

Nice web site. The section regarding your team members and their background is particularly interesting. Very helpfull indeed. I’m gonna hunt around and see what other similar web sites are out there.

Thanks Mike for your reply. I appreciate your candidness….Give me the facts of life, not just a rosy picture of what i wanna hear. Got a whole bunch of quetions for u now though…

The control and grasp of the modern economist on the direction and stability of economies these days is infinately superior than what it was before the great depresssion.

No-one was interested in business cycle research prior to the great depression because no-one fully understood the dangers. Its been…[Read more]

Thanks guys for your advice.

I’ve had a look at “We Buy Houses”, and have tried to incorporate their kind of open approach into my flyer.

As you all emphasised, I’ve tried to concentrate on what i can do for the seller in my flyer, not what i can’t do. There ARE indeed many ways to make things attractive, just needed to think outside the…[Read more]
