How do I put up the top of the quotation box, ‘originally posted by FredSmith’. Is there a way to do it or does it just need typing in manually?

G7, is the ‘originally posted by blahblah’ not…[Read more]

I vaguely remember reading something about them in the past. There’s HEAPS on the web about this scheme.

About the PIPS scheme
From limited information available, the PIPS scheme may be an illegal investment scheme under Australian law.

PIPS is promoted over the internet and in face to face meetings arranged by local agents. The scheme is known…[Read more]

Nathan, although I personally can’t help you with information, I would like to suggest to contact some online shop owners on eBay. I have been a regular visitor (buyer and seller) for years now on eBay and many people on there have their own online shop also.
My experience with these online shop owners is a very positive one. I am sure there will…[Read more]

In The Netherlands squatting is legal if the house has been vacant for a certain period of time (I believe it’s 1 year).

It is regarded as immoral to leave a house vacant for a long period when there is such a high demand for housing, esp in the cities, mainly Amsterdam.

Moss is not hard to remove, you can do it with a standard bristle scrub brush and push down (not up)the roof. You may not need a pressure cleaner. Is it green or black moss? It can be a very dangerous job as the moss can get very slippery when wet- use a safety harness!

We have a motorised pressure cleaner, can’t remember the price.
But because…[Read more]

“I was at Readings in Carlton last night and had a flip through a book entitled, ‘SHAM’ (Self Help and Actualization Movement. “How the Guru’s of the Self Help Movement Make us Helpless”) by Steven Salerno.”

I used to give my tenants easter eggs and x mas pressies, but now I’ve stopped that with the new tenants.

I just make sure that the property is in very good repair and well maintained- if something needs fixing it is done immediately- something any landlord should be doing anyway, but not always are so quick to do.
Oh I also ask about once every…[Read more]

So John Fitzgerald is the one who established this investment group…

Hehe Jason, this is an unusual question!

I have no answer, but am curious to know as well. Will you keep us updated?

I expect the answer to be that this couple of thousand credit is for you to use without attracting interest.
It seems unfair to me that you’d have to pay interest over the amount that is yours, really.

But than again, banks might…[Read more]

I think my regret is that I started investing late rather than early in life.

I worked full time (one job full time, plus a small part time job), made good, superfluous money, and my rent was very low.

All the money I made was completely wasted most of the time- buying crap, lots and LOTS of shoes and clothes, home decorating thingies, going on…[Read more]

I’m asking in general: What do you think of the use of a higher blend of ethanol as a fuel extender, an idea that Howard pushes (because he lacks chemistry training)?

Waste of time, stupid solution?
Economically intelligent?(Doesn’t it takes more energy (excessive fossil fuel input) to produce ethanol than it contains?
Politicans just using it to…[Read more]

Hi, Wezwaz, was that the “Breakthrough to Success Wealth & Power Weekend” you went to? Did you get free tickets for that?
SO you don’t think you got anything at all out of that course?

Are you saying there was dancing, hugging, chanting; the whole “We are in happy-land” ritual during the…[Read more]

Thanks, Redwing.
You seem to be very organised![buz2]
Paperwork is not my favourite passtime, hehe.

But…sometimes the trouble is worth it- our accountant told us last week how much our return will be, and I look forward to receiving the cheques! [biggrin][party]

Hi George.
I think, too, that for a 5-10% drop in rent some people will move.

But it depends- if it’s a family with, say, 2 or 3 kids, it is a BIG hassle to move house.
(Even taking a trip to the beach with babies and kids is a hassle, let alone moving house, and packing ALL of their stuff, hehe!) It costs a lot to move a family, as well.

Although I was laughing about this kidney 4 sale ad, when you think about it, it is really tragic that people in third world countries ARE actually selling their organs (kidneys, eyes) to save them and their family from starvation.

And sheesh, the “secret” things happening in Chinese prisons- after execution the prisoners’ organs are being…[Read more]
