Hi Novice,

Congrats on your 1st purchase. I have recently bought a house in melbourne as my IP and want to fix the loan for 5 years as well. You seem to be getting a very good deal. Could you please tell me which which bank offered you 5.97% for 5 years and what are the other charges on this loan like estd. fees, account keeping fees…

You’ve got some good ones too like “Tell me why I don’t work Mondays”. Perhaps that should read “I’ll tell you why I don’t work Mondays?”

Thanks Gus, but this would be better

“I don’t work Mondays (or Tuesdays, or Wednesdays)”

“ASK ME WHY I don’t work Mondays (or Tuesdays, or WEdnesdays)

CASH IN YOUR WALLET, TIME ON YOUR HANDS

Pretty cool.

But hey Gus, do you REALLY need all Steve’s groovy stuff as much as me??? Come on, I’m desperate here! If you get any more ideas, feel free to tell me them first and offer me first dibs on plagiarising them.

We lived in Brissie for many years and now live in a regional centre a few hours away. The word is, that property prices have peaked (for now) in Brisbane and may flatten out a little, so could be a good time to buy. Just try to remember that what sounds cheap to a victorian or new south welshman may not be cheap to a qlder. Do some…[Read more]

I agree with those who say to concentrate on your successes – and, I would add, the successes of your proteges. After all, people may think you are excessively gifted, intuitive, lucky, whatever – they need to know that you can teach THEM to get financial…[Read more]

I liked the intro but thought it was a little weak on your wife only being able to cut out one day of work – after all, writing a book like this is saying “I have worked out how to have financial freedom already” NOT “i am still on the road to financial freedom” SO I was really glad to see in your reply that Julie is in fact, not needing…[Read more]

Thanks for your advice – I will be hanging on to all of it. re the comments from AD – yep, that’s the figures i’m getting too, and yes, there is another bonus – firstly, the rates are only about $900; secondly it is a brick home with 4 beds plus study and in good repair.

Thanks everyone, that’s given me plenty of food for thought. I wondered about removal houses but people that I know who have done them for themselves reported no end of trouble with councils. The other “if” that I have is that I got a building inspection done for a house I was…[Read more]

Sounds like you would be great at doing a reno/flip. Have you thought about removal houses? eg Here there is a house for $1500, land for 17,500 and relocation costs $30k, add 20k for reno and nothing here is selling under $100k…and they are available everywhere – there was one for free in the Sydney papers this last weekend!!Anyway, good…
