Hi Mysta, that certainly was a interesting series of opinions coming from all kind of directions.

Mind if I ask where (or how) you collected these ?

Thanks,

Pisces

I wonder how many people who responded on this thread spouting their opinion (including myself) have as yet actually read the Mini-Budget Speech delivered by the Treasurer ?

How many of those have read it before spouting their opinion ?

(Go to the very first post in this thread and click onto the Mini Budget button if you haven’t read it yet)

Scott (Pelican) said : ‘Nowhere is there any reference to this being EASY…..’

But Scott, when one buys the book doesn’t it come with a magic pill ?

You know, the one which one swallows and everything will just fall into place and into your lap.

Gatsby, pleeze take a deep breath every now and then.

I get dizzy reading that long, one paragraph, post. [wink2]

I have only just ‘discovered’ this thread and I think it has all been said by now.

Minnie, I think your posts in this thread are very outstanding, very well put.

Unfortunately most, if not all, of us hear something and then ‘translate’ it in our terms in the process completely distorting what the speaker or writer actually said.

It is clear to me that the people who are critical of…[Read more]

>>Does parliament call you? well get cracking<<

Eves, I am a citizen of the world, I am not an Australian and have deliberately avoided that (basically because of the advantage of having a European passport).

And, as far as what you say below is concerned, we all are very lucky (not to be in that situation as described hereafter) because I…[Read more]

Dallas & Kerrie said : : ‘jewish business people (makes no difference if they were jewish of not) offering to buy peoples bank books.’

My memory of that occasion is that the majority of these bankbook buyers were Mormons, black and brindle ones at that.

I would have thought that if it doesn’t make a difference then why do you feel the need to…[Read more]

Hi there, we live in a remote town (mining town) and we are able to get the growth rates from our real estate agents. They have access to the local and national Rei sites that give them all that info. Try it, you might just get the info you need.
Cheers

Thanx for the ideas. ‘Kato’ attacks (as in from the Pink Panther Movies) in getting someone to question me is something we used to do at work. I hadn’t thought of using it here.
Funny thing is I had the CBA in my town at the point where they were going to lend us $176K with only $1500 savings. I was a bit scared that I can manipulate some one at a…[Read more]

Well, in the interest of an informed decision what is the difference between yourself and people like Westan and Minnie ?

Lower fees ? Better type of properties ? Provide

Is he going to be sent back to school to brush up on sensitivity ?

>>I was taught that you cant go broke making a profit.<<

That is the greatest bit of nonsense I’ve ever seen.

Taking small profits, taking all the risks and
making a good size loss here and there will soon send you broke.

Oh, I know, if you don’t sell you don’t realise the loss, is that it ? [laughing]

Is anyone happy for the First Home Buyer?
Does not seem to be much focus on this forum about the benefits of the tax/duty changes.
Is it perhaps because everyone on this forum owns 2-130 properties?
This is my first post – usually just a casual observer. Couldn’t help but reply to the knee-jerk reactions to the Mini-Budget changes. sounds so…[Read more]

>>I don’t think Carr can influence the decisions of the NZ gov so you’re way off base.<<

Baloo, it looks to me as if you don’t appear to have grasped what I am saying.

The decisions by the New Zealand government don’t come into the equation, it is the NSW decisions we are concerned about.

What I in effect am saying is that if Mr Carr acted on…[Read more]

Bear’s sentiment (‘Personally I really don’t know if all the work, time and expense are worth it, not to mention the risk.’) seems to me to be spot on.

On the one hand, the amount of work you, as a spotter, are required to put in deserves more than just $ 1,000 [unless such properties are so plentyful that every second or third property (or e…[Read more]

Perhaps Steve may be prepared to allocate part of his book’s profits (which he has already
said that he is donating to charity) to be used as seed money to get a new Property Owners political party off the ground ?

What say you, Steve ?

Keep the rage alive

This government is so bankrupt, both morally and physically that this isn’t likely to be the end of the tax raising. Without a shadow of doubt, there is more to come.

Keep the bastards honest.

Well, where are the supporters ? Just watch to see how many (few) will respond to your suggestion.

Mysta, I note you have only just joined this site.

If you want to make a change one is able to edit one’s post.

I note that I was unable to email you !!! nor did the ‘Private Message system’ appear to work (please take note Mr WebMaster).
