That’s the spirit guys.

Some of the recent slanging matches really have gotten out of hand.

It’s much better for all when the debates are fought with facts and opinions rather than cheap personal attacks.

Mini,

Your right about the interest rate, overlimit and late payment fees not being a problem, i only listed them for comparitive reasons.

However, the 44 days interest free instead of 55 is a problem as i intend to use the credit card for all purchases, leaving all my pay and savings on my offset account. Then paying the credit card off in full…[Read more]

Ahh music,

Where does one begin?

I listen to all sorts of music but my faves are guitar oriented stuff.

I love 70’s bands like Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, AC/DC (Bon Scott days) and ofcourse Hendrix.

Then there is blues music. Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, Roy Buchannan and The John Butler Trio.

I also love…[Read more]

G’day guys,

Good to see that there are a few rat owners around.

We just got one about 3 months ago and she is great. They are great pets for young kids in particular.

They a very easy to care for and supprisingly very clean. They spend all day cleaning themselves!

Previously we have been dog people. I’ve had Staffies since i was a kid (3 in…[Read more]

Hi Jason,

I couldn’t agree more with you. I think the reasons you give for the recent explosion in prices are spot on and that a crash is inevitable.

I believe that a correction in Melb & Syd of between 15-30% will happen.

If your investing long term this shouldn’t be too much of a problem as undoubtably prices will again rise. Just make sure…[Read more]

Hey Pinky,

Weekly???

Maybe not. This week was has been quite interesting with a couple of posts that have really blown me away.[] That’s what inspired the poem.

Though if you can drop another bomb like you did on Sunday you never know![]

G’day Arty,

Good to see you’re still around![]

I hate to bring this up again, but you have been very quiet since your cover was blown.[]

C’mon mate lift your game.[]

“Arty… Arty… Where for Arty thou Arty?”

G,day Sooshie,

I am constantly amazed at the willingness of people to offer advice and help to others on this forum and i believe that this is a very unique community we have here.

I’ve been a member for only about 5 weeks and in that short time i have gained so much valuable information about property investing that may of otherwise taken many…[Read more]

Shock revelation!

Where is Arty now?

Can’t wait to read his response. Just hope that you guys remain as prolific on this forum as you have been as your posts are always entertaining.

Pinky, i just think it’s hilarious that you’ve been able to keep it a secret all this time. You are a star!

Has he been telling you all about this forum,…[Read more]

Hi all,

A huge thanks Arty, (fantastic post) and also all who have related your stories. It is so encouraging to see that these fantastic deals are still being made all around the country.

C’mon all newbie’s let’s get out there so that we can add our success stories to keep this thread running.

Jay

Hi Richard,

I have 2 children under the age of 4.

Thanks for the advice!

Jay

Hi Pinky,

How did you go with the game you were downloading?

I’ve downloaded a few games from Kazaa in the past only to find that they were not what they were supposed to be. Alot of users diliberately mistitle poor games with the names of more popular titles so that you download the games from them. Very frustrating!

By the way, how are you…[Read more]

Hi Enjo,

Just wanted to advise you too be a bit careful with the spelling of peoples names.

Check the typo on your reply to “Cookster”. I’m assuming it was unintentional, but it gave me a good chuckle.

Cheers!

Jay

Thanks Mini, great advice

I’m not sure about gangs, but the one i’m looking at tomorrow is right next door to a Police station. So i hope this is a positive.

At the risk of sounding naive could someone please explain Landlord insurance (what you are covered for, is it costly).

Jay

Yeah that seems to be the case here in Victoria too.

I guess we’re going to have to look a bit further than we have been or take a chance on these small towns.

I’ve decided to drive 4 hours tomorrow to check out one of the places i mentioned above, but it’s in desperation as i haven’t even seen photo’s of it.

At least getting out there i’ll be…[Read more]

No that was not leaving anything, i calculated this figure by simply subtracting the 100K that i owe from the valuation i had recently of 170,000

Thanks Terry, much appreciated!

Jay

Thanks for your input Rolf,

C’mon all you clever numbers crunchers, i know it’s not exactly a meaty question, but as i’m very new to investing and finance matters in general i could use any ideas that you guys might have.

Jay

Fantastic ideas Jen,

We just may be on to something here, keep the ideas coming, we’ll have it in stores before xmas and distribute funds evenly amongst contributors.

And Arty the car’s mine!

Jay

What a great post Lawry,

I find it extremely interesting to read about what other like minded people do for a living.

I have only discovered this site recently and just finished Steve’s book yesterday. Needless to say i’m very fired up about getting out and finding my first IP.

I, like many of you don’t enjoy my job and the prospect of not…[Read more]
