The Government is building a heap of housing out west and the locals are whinging about it. I think the biggest issue is finding locations that do not cause too much uproar (like the building on the sydney harbour waterfront). Placing too many government homes together also creates heaps of ongoing problems.

It is a difficult situation.

Don’t get me wrong John…

I plan to have children as well – IN THE DISTANT FUTURE.

I will not be seeking hand-outs though as it will be my own choice and I intend to pay my own way. I believe it is financially irresponsible to have children if you can not support them yourself.

The Government can change things at any time. What happens if all…[Read more]

My point is simply that we are not all designed to breed. I believe enough is given to parents as is and this should not be increased – excluding education. I believe education should be free to all who cannot afford it and this would require increased spending.

I am amazed that they decided to proceed with the Eureka Tower. It is the tallest residential building in the world – 88 levels. I think they chose 88 to attract Chinese investors as 88 is a very lucky number for them. It is supposedly viewed as a small city within itself. I wonder what the strata fees will be like.

John,

Do you still have an extensive list of properties in the current market? I would imagine it is longer now.

I was dicussing your list with someone the other day from this site. I thought it was great stuff.

Do you have anything under 100k, positive or negative?

There are enough starving and under-priveleged children living in extreme poverty in this world. If we help them properly, the problem is solved.

My choice is not to the detriment of the nation. It was the Government’s choice to go to war that saw everyone having sex before the men went away resulting in what is known as the ‘Baby Boomers’. Our…[Read more]

Has anyoned asked themselves if the investment is so good, why doesn’t the caravan park operator keep it and make all the money?

My answer is that they would prefer the certainty of income from having another investor paying them a fee and getting bonus commissions or management fees if they rent it out. I would also find out how many the caravan…[Read more]

Leanne, sarcasm is not required. I said “More information is required!”.

I can’t see how we can provide you with information if you do not provide information for us to work with. I answered your question with a “Yes” as I could not provide any other information based on what you wrote.

Income figures would be helpful, savings, type of property…[Read more]

You are leasing a property for the purpose of receiving an income. This makes it deductible.

A $3,000 baby bonus is bad enough!

I do not agree with paying women (or men) to stay home. If they pay people to stay home, I want extra tax dollars to go to work. I CHOOSE not to have kids as many other people do so it would not be fair on all of us.

I also pay tax which is spent on things like public hospitals (I have private cover), public…[Read more]

Alf, this is still a fine line. I was under the impression that you were about to make this change. Have you been using an offset account on your PPOR?

Talking about credit history, I have a client who is experiencing all sorts of trouble because he has a single default for around $8,000 which has been paid in full for nearly a year. He has never had anything else on his name.

The reason this happened is because he was bashed outside his home and was in hospital for months and had facial…[Read more]

Much more information is required. Speak to a mortgage broker about your situation and give them the figures.

I am a ‘hoarder’, I mean ‘buy and hold’ investor so the long term prospects are very good. Time will tell.

By the way, I have never been to WA. I bought this sight unseen.
