Some people here have a moral conscience i guess – if you want to make a killing from wraps, go for your life. I…[Read more]

Interesting thoughts there Mini – the renting a palace idea is something i’m seriously considering actually – the value of Sydney real estate however makes it hard to sell my PPOR atm. After all, if i can do both, why not ?? []

Ok, in that case i’ll have two ip’s in Melboune, 2 in Sydney, 2 in Brisbane, and 2 in Nth Qld thanks… 15% yields would be good but i’ll settle for 12% if i have to… []

quote: The major problem is that it heavily favours those with equity (ie. older people generally) who have benifited heavily from the capital growth in the last few years

Not a bad point – but what about those who struggle to buy now and reap the benefits of equity in the future ??

The way i look at it, property works in cycles, this one no…[Read more]

Cheers, and welcome to the forum !!

“I want to be rich, and stupidly happy – so far i’ve only managed to achieve the stupid part…”

Just to play Devils’ Advocate – I’m just wondering if any of the people so keen to do a deal on Mini’s kind advice actually do their own “due diligence” and investigating ??

Go do some of your own searching and deals like this ARE out there !!

It’s like watching lemmings to the slaughter, geez people, Mini can’t provide an excellent IP for…[Read more]

Wages aren’t massive yet – over 100k is massive, i’m working towards that amount though… []

Actually going to see my accountant tomorrow, need to spend some cash after my DA was knocked back for those duplexes… Apparently the land will be rezoned in the next two to three years so i’ll just hold on to the existing place for a while…

Given…[Read more]

Thanks – i’m not sure where that came from, just something i thought of one night… []

It’s kind of tongue in cheek (as is my style) but it gets the message across – nevr take ourselves too seriously… []

Pretty much what Car Lover said – marketing companies always charge to sell properties, and i’ll guarantee you 9.5 times out of 10 the marketers fee will be tacked straight onto the price of the property – and then some…

If you’re comfortable with their opinions then why not ?? It’s entirely up to you of course – i personally would prefer to inspect the property myself, but that’s just me… I genuinely believe you should get a “feel” for an area yourself…

Look at it this way, would you let someone else spend 30k of your money on a second hand car without you…[Read more]

I’m not so sure why you feel “investors” should be penalised for setting up their own retirement fund ?? Or do you expect everyone to live on the joke that they call the old age pension ??

I don’t have any faith in superannuation, they’ve lost plenty of my hard earned dollars in the last couple of years. For that reason i’ve decided to no longer…[Read more]

Nah, i’m not as firey as those guys on TV Mel, our racing is only shown on “Speedweek” on SBS – we can’t afford to hit each other “too” often… []

As for me having money, that was in the past – before i started racing… Since then it’s asset rich, cash poor !! []

Still, i get the feeling you’d be able to do a hell of a lot more with my equity…[Read more]

Cecil Park… Sth West Sydney, about 35 mins from the CBD if i leave for work at 5.30am – 90 mins if i leave after 6am !! []

Damn, i forgot to remove the link to my photo before you arrived Mel… []

Now that you’ve seen my photo is the wedding still on ?? [:0)]

Not suggesting anything btw, i wouldn’t dare do that !! []

Thanks Kavita, here’s a shot of me:

Not really a great shot, i was a little angry at the time it was taken… but it’s one of my favourites… []

Went halves in a rambling old dump with my old man many years ago, finally got frustrated at only owning half and bought him out at market value two years ago (110k, half of the 220k valuation) – two years later it’s worth at least 400k. That’s Sydney for you though, nothing clever about doubling your money here in the last three years or so……[Read more]

Parramatta is only 20 mins away, please send photos of said friend asap… []

Hmmm, doesn’t Mel live in Canberra somewhere ?? Queanbeyan is near there right ?? Might have to do a roadtrip one weekend… []

Celivia: You sound like a person with wonderful integrity and a great nature… So, where’s these bargains you feel guilty about taking ?? []

Just kidding by the way, i don’t want to take advantage of anyone !! []
