Hello Badgers_Ar_Us. Nice to talk again. How is your day going.To me what makes a forum is the varied opinions and responses. Who would want to read this stuff if it was all the same opinion. BORING.I agree that a lot of peoples responses would be waited in the direction they want. In a way they are trying to convince themselves as much as…[Read more]

Yes it can go either way but i think you should personaly approach them first. If the first complaint they get is from the police or council. They will instantly hate the neighbours and things might get worse.

Dont like pills. Can i crunch it up and put it in a milk shake-

Have you thought of approaching them and coming to a agreement with what times and how long they can ride. Is the bike louder than say a lawn mower. To stop them completely is a bit rude. We have people in our street that have drums but they agreed to limit what time and how late they would use them.Just approach them consideratly and see if you…[Read more]

Where do you lot get these mantras from. It's like you've been brainwashed by Tony Robinson or someone. Do you all get together on a Friday night for drinks at The Jonestown Bar and think them up?  

Well the opposite could be said for you. Do you s…[Read more]

Could be worse. My IP is in the shoalhaven on the nsw south coast. Apparently we have the highest unemployment in australia.Over 13 %

My understanding was that it was starting to pick up. My family originated there with my grandfarther working the mines from 15 to 70 years old. When he died a few years ago they couldnt sell the house. They just walked away. At the time the FHOG would cover the full purchase price of a house. But with increased mining i was under the impression …[Read more]

I am a GLASS IS HALF FULL kinda guy not half empty. Although i am well aware that you may only be a couple of mouthfulls away from a empty glass.Be aware of the negatives but work towards the positives.Now im going to the pub, my  all seeing third eye is thirsty.

approx 4.3 weeks in a month so 200 per month does not equal 50 per week. Its closer to $46 per week

Another point of view is the demand at the foreclosure auctions. One mans loss is another mans gain.These are people setting themselves up for the next upturn.

Before i bought my IP i thought the whole idea of property investing was as follows.( Back when i had no idea)A  Buy houseB  Pay off with assistance of rentC  In years to come you own the house outright with a tenent paying half of the purchase costs. Capital gain was not how i thought it workedAs i researched more i saw that borrowing the full…[Read more]

And i just bought a boat. BUGGER.Personaly i have only seen one cycle and therefore cant add to this discussion without it being based soley on my opinion but i will say one thing.I just finished a conversation with a family friend who to say the least, earns more in a week than i do in a few years. There investment life has seen many cycles. They…[Read more]

Corner blocks can be a bonus for a duplex. You have the driveways on seperate streets giving a more seperated feeling.

I agree. I have really only being part of one cycle and only half of one has effected me financially. I was lucky as my first purchase was in 2001. Perfect timing. I am now selling my toys and reducing debt. I was planning on buying another place soon but now i might hold of.If things do turn bad ill have a PPOR debt under $50,000, No personal…[Read more]

Fogot to add that i also considered a couple of other things1# Buy a more regional IP for a lower price.2# Throw $20,000 on somthing risky on the share market( dont mind a bit of a gamble)3# Go to the casino ( Im joking)

Rex airline shares opened at $1 dollar. Less than a year later they reached just shy of $3 and settled around $2.50.They were my first taste of shares and i bought $20,000 worth at a dollar and sold for$2.67. Im happy

I still believe the majority of people should still have one. Emergencys cash excess i believe is good.Phone purchases and bookings often only except card.Many friends of mine say they survive just fine without one. Then when it comes to booking a hotel or paying for concert tickets,guess who they look too.
