PS I would have LOVED to learn about the domino theory/effect, sis![biggrin]

I have to agree with Richmond here about ethics, I was going to say the same before I read his reply. Family sets the best example from a young, impressionable age, and there has to be a line throughout further education, but I do believe family forms the foundation. If ethics are missing to start with, it’s very hard to correct this at a later…[Read more]

Sis, I’ll have a quick guess as well.
May be it doesn’t have anything to do with the physical properties as such, more with your actions? E.g. the first thing you do (e.g. research on an area and the property prices within)) has an effect on the next thing you do (e.g. deciding on your offer amount), which has an effect on your taxation benefits,…[Read more]

Good idea Brenda, I will do![exhappy]

The first issue I bought was the one with Jan Somers on the cover (last year)- this opened my eyes to property investing and I started by reading one of Jan’s books.
SInce then I have been buying the issues at the news agency, but I missed the last one, I think. I will rush out tomorrow to see if it’s still there if Brenda is in that one I want to…[Read more]

Oops sorry Richmond I ignored your original question.
No I sure haven’t achieve what sis has achieved!

I remember when I first got on this forum I read some posts like this about people not believing sis.

ALthough I have (unfortunately) never met him, I really think he’s telling the truth, it’s almost unbelievable: he’s such a genius!

But I think that he educated himself really early in life when others were still wearing nappies.
Must be highly…[Read more]

Do I hear wedding bells, sis?[heart] [party]

Yes we got a free will like Kay said, from our solicitor when we bought the house, but guess what we prepared it but still is waiting at her office to be signed- haven’t gotten around to do this yet (keep forgetting).

We didn’t get a pre-nup when we got married, we both had nothing to loose then…[Read more]

I started investing last year, first IP settled Nov 2003. Neg geared but quality property.
Now looking for CF+ or at least neutral, haven’t been lucky so far.[glum2]

Yes I received this info as well.
Out of those 40 locations they are counting all areas that have more than 5% yield and have devided their findings in:
G: A good chance to find positive gearing with a yield 7.5% or more.
M: A reasonable possibility to find positive gearing with a yield of 6% or more.
S:A slight possibility that pos gearing will…[Read more]

Kay why don’t you print out your green head and stick it on your forehead… OK may be pin it on your shirt.
Shame I can’t come I would love to walk around with my Kitty pinned on!

What’s there to think, there’s nothing there!

Isn’t it weird that everything you own can just disappear but your debt will stay and follow you everywhere till you pay it off, even if the whole city blows up, as long as the bank still stands they’ll be following you…forever…and ever…where ever you go, what ever you do, does that sound scary?

No Kay these green pumps are not mine, but…[Read more]

If I had nothing left, I’d ring my friends if I could borrow some clothes, then look for a job (one that hires dressed people). THen save, buy PPOR, then use equity to buy IP.

Thanks Redwing! I should have guessed! Never too old to learn.

Welcome, Pumpking, [king] (is that you?) if you go to the Guru section, there are 2 posts about Hans Jakobi, you may find these interesting to read.

Oi, some-one ought to put their foot down over headings like this!

Unfortunately Blondy-bec, I don’t know superfast and easy way; if I knew I’d be famous[biggrin].
Yes for every town (and every house that you’d…[Read more]

Does the airconditioning have to be of the expensive ducted type? In my own home, I had an LG airconditioner installed; the window type. Cost was less than $1000.

Had it have been for an ip, that amount would have been put into a ‘low value pool’ and within a few short years, I would have my money back without…[Read more]
