Hi again Westan,

I wanted to tell Shaun .. hhmmm .. some inside info. Can’t really say here.

Gotta keep it small talk for now .. Renee should be back in here next week, if the Doc’s give him the all clear. We miss Pauline’s weekly visits. Tried to teach her the 11 second rule, but all she keeps asking is “Please explain”.

Gotta go, the screws…[Read more]

Bill,

In last Saturday’s Crimes I counted 32 columns of rentals. A quick count excluding private ones. I believe the type-set is becoming smaller too.

I will tally up tomorrow’s to check for a further increase.

Hi Westan,

Neither of the terms “chick” nor “bloke” are apt descriptions of Mel. She is a lady with a great sense of humour and acumen.

Anyhow, great to get 8 replies to a post meant for one.

On that point I must digress and share this with you, considering that you have posted. (Makes the time pass as we await the respondent of the intended…[Read more]

Sunshine,

Dark Corners

Each cloud a silver lining
It be propogated Sunshine
Droopy corners find their place
Within fake smiles to pine

As a Labrador is placid
His outward smile asks of yore
Check the corners of his mouth
His story tells much more

Memory’s corners dark within
We each have rooms of solitude
Scrape the tape, open windows
Invite…[Read more]

>>Howard holding the RB back from making an interest rate rise until after the election was so wrong- could the RB be independent after all?
<<

The RBA is an independent entity. Whether Howard can tell the RBA what to do depends whether or not you believe in ‘wink wink’ conspiracy theory.

As it is the government cannot tell the RBA what to do.…[Read more]

The topics a bit way off anyway Ghoti, so don’t worry about it. Anything that appeals to our basic materialistic instinct will always be an interesting topic.[]

With regard to laptops, I got mine with salary sacrifice. There is no FBT on laptops, so my company can get it GST free, and then we sacrifice our pre tax dollars for the rest. The end…[Read more]

Hi Ksafik,

And I own and have read the same book at least 7 times.

Bring thy fiance and thy finance unto the family moat.

Judgement day comes not from thy first post, but from thy last.

Hi Minny,

You’re bloody amazing.

Is your birthday early to mid July by chance?

Phil

Bill,

My parking space is still available and in need of a tenant.

Go you 70/30 and at call.

Regards, Phil

Hi Ghoti,

On one point. Rentals need to be “arms length” for tax purposes. Reduced rent for family to %5 a week for tax purposes will not sit well with the ATO.

Kind regards, Phil

Hi Arty and Westan,

Westan, Yep .. Santa is the Detractor. I am led to believe that Santa was re-created in red and white by the Coca-Cola company. Unsure as to the validity of this, but it makes for a good yarn.

Arty .. your comment makes so much sense. I have discussed your exact point with many others. No wonder we bring up kids into a…[Read more]

>>however I was looking for that secret information that the town planner won’t want to tell anyone.<<

Leigh, that is inside information []

HGWells, look at the good side.

If you get a low valuation then use this to get the vendor to accept a lower selling price.

Hi Anne,

I’m lost for words.

Kind regards in sharing that with us all.

As a dyslexic child, George often wondered why Satan gave him presents, yet everyone hated Satan.

Hi Kay,

I am interested to see that you have formulated a process in your puchasing approach. Would you care to expand upon your thought process on the ethics to which you refer? Which types of investing do you see as unethical and why?

Regards, Phil

Sorry to hear about your woes Ghoti (fish?[])
I’m part owner of our company, so I’m hopefully not going to get kicked out. (unless I keep spending so much time in this forum that is! [])

Hi Steve,

I think I understand where your logic is heading here.

Highly geared PPOR owners flood the market
Market prices drop to meet the increased supply
Ex owners will become the new tenants in demand
Rent up & prices down will attract the investor

So far, it looks like an environment matching your positive cash flow principle.

However as…[Read more]
