Karen, you are a little ripper. I am sitting through State of Origin at the moment. Don't worry, most men just need a little nudging from the woman of the house because as my other half often quotes "Happy wife, happy life".Wait till the baby comes, he will be pretty eager to get out of the house and a little project might just help him out! Hehe…[Read more]

Hi Fredo,The guys are spot on. This should be a residential loan for 3 units and you shouldn't have to have any pre sales. We went with NAB to build our 3 units and we have kept all three. There was no mention of selling any of them, we were pretty clear we wanted to keep all three. We had to shop around as one lender would only lend if we were…[Read more]

That's the problem with saturation advertising…..D

Follow the train line until you find something in your bracket. I'm looking East and would appreciate no competition please (LOL yeah right)D

Why not Perth? Parts of Perth are still undervalued and probably good returns. I get the trip part Maybe Adelaide before everyone buys it up? Yeah I'm getting the land tax blues but it really is just a part of the business of property investing. If you're paying tax, you're making money, right?D

Brutal.D

Yeah, KRUDD's problem is that he actually tried to implement a lot of his election promises. They were all flops.Personally I never thought he was a savior i just thought he was a BS artist. He was here for working families, but he has plenty of money.Bye, bye KRUDD. He will be decimated in WA. And if we get lucky in the other states too.D

Ahh, thecrest, I'm sensing some political dissension in the ranks.What you don't like the KRUDD tax reforms (hahah yeah its a joke)? Vote Labor, we will make all your matchboxes the same. We will deliver only our information to that matchbox. Please pay tax regularly on that matchbox. Comrades your leader needs you. Vote 1 Commadant KRUDD. No…[Read more]

Well that's 3 people who'll vote against them. Matt007 sadly it is soooo true. Can't run a bath, imagine if they were in business! Lucky they are only running the country…shudder.Such a sneaking, insidious Govt. Goodbye Captain Bringdown and the Freedom of Information Fighters on your team. Everyone can see him for what he is now. A liar and a…[Read more]

Aww Ghia flattery will get u everywhere! We have the luck/unluck of being in Melbourne and riding part of the wave. Admit it, you sold your lunchbox to buy petrol! Shhh I won't tell anyone! All I can think is it musta been a real nice lunchbox………. gold, with some bling dollar signs on it, diamonds maybe?Everyone is equal! I could write…[Read more]

Ahhh Wealth…………..happy are we the investors.There is no shortage yet. Give it a couple of years of tight lending, low construction approvals (not in my backyard councils) and just a general lack of forward planning from the govt and there will be. Inner ring suburbs in Melbourne, everything is under offer. Most suburbs are selling the…[Read more]

doublek ur good enough to take a few from us but not let it get to you! Sorry to see u can't sun yourself on a beach, in Melbourne I can't either! Thanks for the community service update!D

Hehe!JV all the way. JacM you are a lovely patient person. Always so reasonable. Stop trying to buy where you live salmon. I bought a property for 128k 2 hrs from where I live. Sure its a dump, sure my tenants are well, male. Sure grubby all round but hey it will just pay itself off, and if in a couple years I see any capital growth I will sell…[Read more]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!This contrasts with the article in todays AFR in which large developers have said that the 2nd tier developers are leaving the market as they are unable to get finance. These are the ones who develop residential blocks into mini apts or 6 townhouses etc. The banks are asking for larger numbers of presales and…[Read more]

Heheheh! I think we have all become a bunch of cynics awaiting the next spam attempt!D

Sounds a lot like my house…….that I would eventually like to own. Guess I'll just have to work like blazes to get it. Nobody ever values anything they get for free.D

You're not in Kansas anymore…….D

Yup, I got forwarded that email. Ahh well there are some who will get taken in and unfortunately they are adults so what can you do. She was a good speaker at the conference and you can see exactly how she has built her empire. Doesn't mean I would buy what she is selling.Wealth did you just get that pretty little add on to your name?   D
