I would have thought the hospital was an opportunity. I would look to initiate a relationship with the hospital re staffing accommodation for locums. Think of it along the lines of corporate rentals. Work your numbers on new units and what a 5-10 yr serviced apt lease deal (or rent to own deal over 5-10years) might look like for the…[Read more]

Tends to happen when you cripple the tools the forum community need to communicate. They thought they’d upgrade the back-end and all but rendered the front-end barely usable.

Last time I talked to Royal Wolf  they had a gazilion of these things floating around. They aren’t the only mob into converted shipping containers for all sorts of purposes. As mining construction has come off the boil all the equipment used in construction (incl containers) has been progressively backloaded to holding areas for disposal.

Beny you’re a good guy who means well but some of the stuff you write is ..well ….rubbish. For example;

Well no it’s not. last time I looked;
National Consumer Law Center (NCLC), at least 10 states can be generally classified as non-recourse for residential mortgages:
Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota…[Read more]

Double posted for some reason. This WYSIWYG text box editor needs a rebuild for sure. I thought the last was bad but at least it wasn’t too much of an effort with workarounds. This one is a real grind.

Bank Incest
Big international banks own both the Australian big banks and the biggest Australian mining firms. They are in control for the financial adjustments and reset.

He has a thick skin and many hats ;-) and thanks you for the support. Petulant site owners are like water off a ducks back to him.

Unlikely. It’s like old age. You don’t like it but you learn to tolerate it’s short comings and develop work-arounds to negate the loss of function.
I don’t get it with IT people. Highly intelligent in some respects…[Read more]

Have you ever heard the sound of disappointment?
It tangles your head like a winter rose
Comes up eager and shining
And it likes to leave a scar before it goes
Here comes that sinking feeling
Here comes that sinking feeling
Here comes that sinking feeling

As China comes off the gas the property boom is now going into reverse
A Chinese property crash has begun
Given that something like 47% of iron ore consumption goes into construction a pullback in residential high rise would see significant pressure on Fe ore prices. One of the unknowns is if Chinese PI’s will sell up to cover losses at home or…[Read more]

We are seeing a “cycle” as we have seen over decades. And yes, there are peaks and troughs. I believe we will see harder times, and easier times. And we will see decisions made by Govts that help, and others that don’t help.

You should be a poly Benny. You’re talking a lot without really saying anything or committing to any position. That usual…[Read more]

I just wanted to bump that old thread. Times change, and it is always useful to keep a weather eye on developments in real estate, so I appreciate threads like this one. Certainly, along with the raw emotion, there were some very pertinent comments made therein.

You talk as if the threat is over and everything is honky-dory again…
