well, a cow can be a friend too! and what’s wrong with eating your friends?

kay henry

well, Mel- what about the “send 25 dollars” one… Chan wrote that they kept 100 bucks of his from 1000 bucks that he sent.

NEVER give your money to strangers, folks!

kay henry

You’re right Mel- sometimes the only way to stop doing something is to get busted :o)

I could put up a post “free XXX sexpics!” and then go to the active members list and check out everyone who reads it, and then put all their names into a “BUSTED!!” topic- hehe- nothing like publicly shaming people

kay henry

What’s the difference in eating a cow, a kangaroo, a snail, or a dog? I don’t get it. Why do we think it’s cool to eat cows and sheep, but dogs and cats are off limits?

Cheers Matt

ummm, Matt… people are sending their money to strangers on this property forum- may as well send it to strangers in Nigeria!

“Weekly rent $200
Asking price $110,000
= Bad Deal”

yeah, dvane- that’s a shocker deal. Only a loser would do that one. Where is it, by the way? I’m a bit of a loser myself I have no idea where there are 110k properties yielding 200 bucks a week.

sis,

the question that was asked by Tom was about CPI. That’s why I asked Terry about the table. I understand about CGT. The first table is a far more easily readable reference to CPI. All you’ve written about, sis, is CGT- it’s a little frustrating, sis- as one has nothing to do with the other, although CGT will have an impact upon CPI…[Read more]

Chan,

You would have to wonder about the legality of someone keeping your $100. you might want to check this with a lawyer. I can’t imagine how someone could just keep money from someone else because they wanted to…

Does anyone know the consumer laws about this? It sounds like a scam. A quick call to Fair Trading and I bet you get your money…[Read more]

sis- i know how to read about CPI. And the thing that you pasted from the bottom of the page is about CGT, not CPI.

CPI is always around 2% or 3% or 4%. the figures on the table that Terry pasted didn’t appear at all like that.

And sis, CPI is farily easy to predict. The RBA is always discussing CPI and their predictions. Basically, CPI is…[Read more]

323- i hit it like a girl

Terry- i don’t quite get that CPI table- could you explain it, please?

“worst house – best street” is exxy
“best house- worst street” is cheaper…

Again, it depends on how much money you have. Worst house in st ives or toorak etc… is going to cost a lot more than the best house in … um… broken hill.

So if you don’t have the choice, you will buy best house in worst street.

kay henry

lwaterer,

You could try a different bank and get your current property revalued again- you might get more (valuation and loan $$) with a different provider.

kay henry

Fair enough Marcpatrick :o)

As I’m a policy analyst for a living, I am used to working through a myriad of information and deconstructing what’s useful and what isn’t.

I think the usefulness of a board such as this one, is that we get a variety of perspectives, and people can become used to raking through the different ideas and seeing what fits…[Read more]

And if you think some of the gurus are dodgy, but you still wanna read what they have to say, buy their books in a second hand book shop- that way, you won’t be feeding dodgy author’s coffers.

kay henry

also, you might wish to report the situation to the Banking Ombuds. They will investigate and make recommendations. They have a lot of clout and finance providers hate if the Ombuds might be involved.

kay henry

How many rabbits are a deposit on an IP, Mel?

kay henry

yeah, congrats Matt- you’re a sweet guy :o)

kay henry

Well, I am probably not so “lovely”, but I’m fun!! hehe (well, I tend to think so, anyhoo!) I don;t wear those bad purple passion pants that some lesbians wear, and I don’t sing to the moon goddess or whatever some of those dreadful women do!

Naievety is ok- I might have been once too- hehe. Guess I just never see myself as different to anyone…[Read more]

yack,

I bought my first property 9 years ago. Had I attempted to sell it for 3-4 years after that, I would have lost money on it. I was in a divorce situation and was panicking a little in dealing with the responsibility of a mortgage. Re wasn’t “fashionable” back then, but my friends and I were buying into RE and there were no price movements-…[Read more]
