Apply the good old 11 second rule –
If furnishing you place would cost you say, $5000 for new/good 2nd hand furniture, and you could generate and extra $40 a week in rent:
$40 per week, divided by 2, mulitiplied by 1000 = $20,000. Which is…[Read more]

Pretend you have a hearing problem and keep asking the caller to repeat themselves. eg “Sorry dear, you’ll have to speak up a bit, I can’t hear you” Once you’ve said it about 10 times they get a bit frustrated and give up.

I’ve a bit of an interest in the perth apartment market.
My PPOR at present is an East Perth apartment and in the short time I have owned it I am confident of it doing well. I have the sale history for the entire complex of 60 units since construction 7 years ago all charted, and the CG has to date been damn good.
