Interesting & worthwhile question.

Here’s my 5 cents worth. Now that I’m not working, I’ve had alot more time to think about it. I’ve earned from $0 to over $200k pa, and this is some of the things I’ve learnt about having money and how much do I need to live on:

1. It’s true that “There is no such thing as a free…[Read more]

I think NZ is a beautiful country and has lots of PI opportunities worth checking out, but please look at the article in http://home.nzcity.co.nz/news/default.asp?id=33847&c=w
which is a timely reminder that it’s the checking out bit that’s important.

Good luck & Happy investing, QB [:)]

Been caught up in other things and haven’t had a chance to come back to this question. I guess I am really interested in the detailed outflows to get a better handle of the costs involved in purchasing in NZ…some of those questions have been answered in another topic – NZ suburbs. Also in the link I found, there are items relating…[Read more]

Just a quick question to those who have purchased in NZ, where does GST come in the purchasing transaction ? I read in SMH Sat that our all-conquering NSW premier & his better half have just bought some land near Queenstown for around 350K and they paid 35K in GST (can anyone shed some light on this, please or is our premier…[Read more]

Special thanks to all who provided input (I love the “community” spirit in this forum, keep it going) to my dilemma. Some good advice which I will take on board and explore further, will post any future solution taken on the forum.

Looks like this will prove to be a costly exercise for me (I’m really kicking myself here), I guess…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply. I was just looking through some of the other topics when I came across a comment by TheEnjoLady:

“Never buy an appreciating asset in a company name unless the company is the trustee for your trust.”

which ties in with what you said, but would you (or anyone else ??) be able to shed some light on the last bit…[Read more]

I’m also interested in NZ PIs (maybe something to do with my equal half being a Kiwi, hails from Wgtn, but we live in Syddddney), but I’m a newbie and trying to learn & absorb as much as poss. I was thinking of Hamilton, Tauranga and Taranaki…

I would welcome any help & guidance you may offer on NZ PIs (eg contacts, process,…[Read more]
