I’m possibly being a little bit elitist or esoteric in my views and my opinions – sorry if I am!

The All Blacks have just lost to the Wallabies so I need to sedate myself with more alcohol and convince my wife that profanity is part of the normal act of losing – she should know this given that she is a kiwi herself!

Not about wining the debate but rather about sharing the opinions and generating enough wealth to support our desires and goals in life.

I don’t think for one second that the ‘average joe’ would frequent this site, and believe that those who post show the deeper desire to grow and achieve financial independence.

Okay…

Whilst it didn’t come across the way that I intended it was more of a general comment for forum members.

I didn’t take Monopoly’s comments personally and I think that sometimes its good to hear stories from the trenches – like a reality slap as after all this is not Monopoly (sorry no pun intended) money we’re playing with. It’s important to hear these different points of views and sometimes, as I am ofte…[Read more]

I’m not shy of having an opinion [reminds me of what my mama use to say: opinions are like a*seholes, everyone got one and most of them stink :)].

I can only imagine that it would be extremely painful to experience.

I guess that’s the beauty of the world that we all have different views and opinions for different reasons.

My final take on this is that the tenant is a vital e…[Read more]

I have crunched all the numbers and it came out +ve and as such have placed a first and final offer with 30 days settlement subject to finance.

Hope this is a winning bid, but if not, then I walk away and its back to looking :)

Everything that I have looked at in this town is doesn’t work, so maybe to NZ I go???

I should have mentioned that I have been doing my DD and am not going to make an offer unless I can get out of it.

Subject to finance is not an issue as the bank has already given me pre-approval and the building is brand new and has a 7 year warranty. That said, I guess it would still be best practice to get a building inspection…[Read more]
