>>Number of people get killed in other part of world in terrorist activity does US care? War in Iraq has killed already 10000 people and who knows how many more? I am against the Saddam and Osama but Bush is also part of same group. Because of this war we in Australia facing insure.

I take it that by the word ‘insure’ you mean uncertainty,…[Read more]

<<edited – no personal slanging matches please!>>

Nothing wrong with war as such, I just want to get my facts straight.

Because it looks like advertising.

However …………., if you were to kindly ask Steve you may get the O.K. (no guarantees of course)

Alternatively you may just casually mention that you strike so many properties that in fact you are unable to handle them.

Anyone with half a brain and who is in need of a property and hasn’t been successful…[Read more]

What about 9/11 Scott ?

What about the train bombings in Spain ?

>>i reckon i’m all but immune now. And i reckon it was breaking that board in two, that did it to me….<<

What happened ? Did you smash that (surf?)board against your head ?

Dangerous hobby that is, better stick to real estate.

Interesting way of looking at it Mini.

I won’t comment (other than commenting on about three very minor items shown below) in order to see some more opinions.

Miniiii, have you gone religious now ? I well remember how the scoundrel catholic priests frigthened hell out of me by giving a very prominent role to…[Read more]

thankyou for your input and to clear things up i was referring to Steve’s book. cheers

Ultimately one should buy with one’s brain, not with one’s heart.

Decide the maximum the property is worth to you and stick to that limit.

There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

However, if the property is for one’s own use I would be prepared to pay a little more than what I would otherwise (provided the property was unique in some…[Read more]

I understand that that is what Chan did except he didn’t have cable.

I cannot remember how much exactly (hundreds of dollars) but he received quite a large bill for that.

I was told however that he has made a deal with them that for every joke he sends them he gets a dollar discount off his bill. [party]

>>I don’t have an emotional reaction to the rent coming in, other than, good, it arrived.<<

If one’s commitment is small enough it won’t be likely to cause emotions to come into play.

Like in your situation where you don’t owe any money on the properties there is less (or no) reason to feel fearful.

The moment one has a big loan to support and…[Read more]

Itsamoorey, one of the most important factors for success is to be persistent.

Make it a numbers game (which it is). Keep making offers, keep looking at properties, keep on going.

I have only just come back from looking at some properties in the Newcastle area.

I don’t know why actually. It is probably a case of the grass appearing greener on the other side of the street. hahaha.

I actually made an offer of $ 280,000. The asking price is $ 325,000 and the agent’s notes (which I was cheeky enough to look at when he…[Read more]

The point is that nobody really knows what will happen to the market so is it surprising that at the moment the lenders are a bit more careful than they would be in an actively boiling market ?

Remember, there is always more than one side to a story. Your superannuation fund may well have part of your super tied up in this lender’s shares.

Good to see that at least one person (Pelican – Scott) appears to have some idea what Bill is talking about.

The problem with many people is that they have fallen into the habit of speaking without thinking.

The inevitable result is that mostly what comes out of one’s mouth is garbage, shit, meaningless clutter.

And of course, virtually we all…[Read more]

Hi Scott,

Just had another look at your personal information.

You do indeed live outside Australia. Yet, you are selling houses in Victoria.

How do you manage that from so afar ?

Pisces

>>especially outside Sydney and Melbourne,<<

What does the above refer to Aussierogue ?

The immediately surrounding suburbs or country towns ?

Pisces

Yeh, it may be a good idea but keep in mind that, firstly you aren’t a builder so you need to get someone else do that part of the job (and there goes part of the profits your next door neighbour would make.

Secondly there are certain skills required and if one doesn’t have that knowledge one can come undone.

Yes, I know that you can consult an…[Read more]

Now one can argue this point until one is black and blue in the face but all of that is verbiage which doesn’t mean a thing, doesn’t p-r-o-v-e anything.

One’s opinion is just that, one’s opinion, perhaps right, perhaps wrong.

The only way to determine whether what Bill said is correct is to start observing one’s action (a rather long and…[Read more]

Pelican I am quite enjoying myself.

I just cannot let people get away with saying that the media is lilywhite when clearly they are not.

Anyone who takes the opposite point of view is truly defending the indefensible.

BTW, I am going away for a few days so I cannot respond until Saturday.

Cheers,

Pisces

Richmond it is clear that, as far as criticism of the media is concerned, you appear to be (to put it mildly) on the touchy side.

Let us address what exactly it was that I said. I simply said that certain things are sensitive information and that the media has a responsibility to watch what they say.

It does mean that it isn’t unreasonable that…[Read more]
