We’ve got a a young lass as a tenant who is causing trouble with drunken guests causing damage and disturbing the neigbour (our tenant as well)

Her lease expires in April.

We have decided not to give notice because of possible problems if the tenant objects.

So we’ve decided to merely give notice that the lease will not be extended AND in the…[Read more]

What is the Orbital project ?

>>but I also have repeatedly told you I never said buying property cheap was wrong, what I said was seeking out people in financial difficulty to purchase property at well below market prices is wrong IMO.<<

Let us look at your logic now Markpatric.

You are saying that buying cheap property is O.K.
but if you seek out people who are prepared to…[Read more]

To get a promotion , what counts is seniority, not ability !!

Many teachers are deadwood, not very capable, bludging, doing as little work as possible.

Then again, others are hard working and dedicated.

What about getting rid of the incompetent ones ?

Not incompetent ?

Who should we blame for the fact that so many pupils are virtually…[Read more]

>>leasing is becoming more readily available than having your property just simply up for rent…<<

What is the difference between leasing and renting S.I.S. ?

Tjal, you ask ‘Where is a good place to find unbiased information on the state of the property market?’

Have a look at this site :

Freedomfinder, you haven’t yet answered the question whether you are serious (and ready) to buy or whether it is just of academic interest.

The next thing you need to decide upon is what area you would like to own property in.

Everything else will soon fall into place once you start talking to a spotter.

Redwing, Hedrek was talking about $ 1,200 takehome pay (i.e. $ 1,200 after tax !!)

>>but Tony was asking about flood areas not the rates at westpac!!<<

That is true but the impression I gleaned that the extra risk was just thrown in at no additional premium.
I actually compared their premium sometime ago and Westpac appeared dear.

What about putting up some details of yourself as well ?

Are you talking hypothetical or is this serious business ?

One never knows (until disclosed) as there are a lot of young people here, very curious but not in a position to do anything (right now).

>>If you do go ahead, consider Westpac Insurance.<<

So you think Westpac is actually a benevolent society ?

Have you looked at their rates ?

>>This means we are able to squeeze a third bedroom into a plan where the council would only allow a two bedroom home. A big bedroom too!<<

Simon, you are obviously not aware that some councils have an inspection team who make inspection calls late at night to check the use of these type of rooms []

Why James ?

I think it is rather a lot more fun than many of the jokes in Forum Frolics.

If there can be a section ‘Forum Frolics’ then there should also be a section titled ‘Myths and Beliefs’.

However, this post ought to be switched to a different section.

Nevertheless, we will leave that decision to the judgement and discretion of the…[Read more]

Isb’t the fact that one was unaware of being eligle sufficient ground for reconsideration ?

Just adding something to what Anubis said :

Jesus was born a Jew, he lived the life of a Jew, and he died a Jew.

I know one thing and that is that if Jesus were to come back to earth today he would head straight to a synagogue to pray, not a Christian church.

If one were to say to Jesus, ‘I am a Christian, a follower of you’ he wouldn’t know…[Read more]

What I think I have spelled out below.

1. I think that religion has no place in a real estate forum. Or, if it does, then it should be restricted to a seperate section other than ‘General Property’.

Stuff uttered by Marc1 and KoolDude is fine as one’s outlook is absolutely connected with the subject of real estate and such ideas have a rightful…[Read more]

Hi Westan.

You said : “The very point Jesus was making is it IS IMPOSSIBLE for a rich man to enter Heaven by himself.”

Can you please tell us where in the bible we can find this quote ?

If it cannot be found or some pasage interpreted that way, then it is merely a human’s interpretation and as valid or unvalid as the next person’s opinion…[Read more]

However, one may have all the seeds in the world but unless the ground is plowed and the seeds sown the farmer will not reap.

I would think that we really ought to have a seperate topic section for religion. [:o)]

Talking and quoting pieces from the bible is fraught with danger and pitfalls.

The biggest problem is that the fanatics think that they are the only ones who’ve got it right. Worse than that, they also seem to think that they have a Godgiven obligation to…[Read more]
