But his use of the Australian vernacular and slang and his knowledge of old advertising campaigns from at least 5 years ago (he quoted the…[Read more]

Please be careful in making allegations about individuals and companies as defamation laws apply.I work in the media and have seen the law swing into action many times in relation to coments posted on websites. Not so long ago, on a TV industry website, several…[Read more]

It is so easy to become overwhelmed with all of the information on hand in regards to Property Investing.I think most of us would like that first step to be devoid of as many mistakes as possible and so the more we research the more we learn of the many many different ways of…[Read more]

I think I would have given it away after the first couple of weeks when the project got going. It's a hell of a task to renovate all day then come home and type up an online progress report.It's been a rivetting read and an eye…[Read more]

Richard, unfortunately whilst my PPoR is showing growth of 7.5%pa, rent in my area still won’t cover my mortgage at this stage. Will have a shortfall of at least…[Read more]
