Richard,Can you get lower than OneDirect 8.35% with similar or more homeloan features??It is rated 5 star by Cannex and smart investor.

Ask if they can match One Direct variable 8.35%. Good features and one of the lowest rate in the market

Hi Joanne,Just another insight on investing in hotel room. Q/A with Noel Whittakerhttp://www.domain.com.au/Public/Article.aspx?id=1216492338730&index=QAFor your own reference in the futureCheers

Hi RichardDidn't you know that…"Property value will double every 7 years" LOL (sarcasm)I m sure this is the selling point to unsuspecting buyers. Plus the depreciation cost etc…

Where is the 'Premium finance' telemarketer?… Seems like they went for hibernation before another attack on unsuspecting buyer(s)?

Hi Joanne,Did you get an external valuation of 'the property'?And how much is the management fee?Did you go through the contract with independant solicitor?Just for my curiosity….Cheers

I don't mind talking to telemarketer if they are paying me $$$ from talking to them.Otherwise… just waste my stupid time.Investing in hotel room… hmm…. sounds interesting!!!

Hi Spicy,Beware of lots of spruikers out there….If you are not happy and would like to expose them.. why not try Current Affairs or 60 minutes.They love this kind of exposure….Premium Fiance = Joker FinanceCheers
