Bhp Billiton have agreed to buy back all employees houses – to stabilize the market. Any one able to (depending on their agreement) can sell on the open market, if they so chose.

quoting Scremin, for no particular reason but to get the wording:

I concurr with Scott,
the price of that house I mentioned is true, but the market here fluctuates wildly. We haven’t seen such high gains here before and it has, with out a doubt been influenced by what has happened in the rest of the country!

BigBen,
even if the tree isn’t mostly on your side, don’t you have the legal right to cut off anything protruding over the boundary onto your side!?! Perhaps you should check with your local Shire/Town/Council on their regulations.
Have you spoken to the neighbour? He/she might be of the same oppinion as yourself. You could combine your…[Read more]

Funny, this topic isn’t it!

Americans in Irac shooting the last of the Rebel Insurgents – good on’em! God bless America! Yeeeeehaaaa.

If the roles were reversed, Americans fighting the Irac invaders (notice the subtle change in frazing), then the Americans would be called Freedom-fighters…….

Curse the media!

And having been to Port Hedland, South Hedland is a better place

Must be starting to get warm again up there Calvin?

Well, Redwing, not really. Port is the more scenic but it is also very much over priced![cigar] Opinion divides……
I actually live in South, as I believe it is more affordable. As for the temperatures, yes, it is about…[Read more]

Hi all,
I have spent about 15 years of my short live in Europe and I can tell you that there is plenty of racism every-where! So in an age of ‘Political Correctnes’ lets be a prick to every-one! and don’t just pick and choose as you see fit.

I believe in the Bible and will do my bit. What you do is your choice, just don’t be surprised by others…[Read more]

bt et all,
FYI BHP Billiton has just rejected the “relocation of all Port Hedland” to a location is South hedland! I was at the local Town meeting, so if that is why you are investing in the Town – here’s a heads up!

Hi Carly.matt,
I would agree with Ozi on this one! It is a great tool and once you use it, you wil modify it to suit yourself, as I did. It is great for getting started and, if you find nothing to customise, then I can’t see why it wouldn’t be a great long term tool!
It has helped me interrogate the REAs and weed out a lot of the ‘Bull’, and it…[Read more]

Good morning Yack,

a timely warning, I agree. Most of the newbies (myself included) are looking at things way too ‘best case scenario’. I have the benefit of being able to speak to a person that is investment savvy and I use his skill (yes he is successfull) and knowledge to bounce ideas of. My last project was very CFP and I got so excited that…[Read more]

Hi ozi,
yes I have one of those evil things! Virgin M/C doesn’t have any annual fees and we are currently paying 12.4% interest.
Nothing really good or bad to say – it is a credit card BUT Virgin buy their credit from Challenge (Westpac Banking Corp) who we left for Virgin (funny enough) and their internet statements are allways late! I check my…[Read more]

Well, now that my retirement has been sorted out (BTW Thanx to jsandso), I now need to work on the income side of things! Perhaps my father can benefit fromthis information now. I’ll get him to ‘test-drive’ this solution for us.[cigar]

Sounds like a perfectly good plan to me![biggrin]

Hi Paleenia,
your best bet would be to go thru a mortgage broker for guidance! It isn’t just the finance you need to worry about but the serviceability 9How you are going to pay for it) that will affect your chance of a Home loan!
Are you elligible for the FHOG? Do you have any savings? All this will aid in giving you some good advice.
Best of…[Read more]

Hi Roslyn,
can’t say for sure but in his book he’s mentioned that he is not intending to do another class/group in the near future.
Of course this could change with a change in his circumstances.

Hi guys,
when I first started out on the investment trail, I was given the option of showing the improvements that I wanted to do, in note format – listing my costs, and presenting that to the valuer to be included in his valuation.
To make that a little clearer, the house we wanted to buy we managed to get for arround $15k less than the asking…[Read more]
