Can I suggest you phone centrelink and ask what their rules and criteria are for income producing assets – they are pretty helpful. There is usually a sliding scale that reduces your pension when you have assets over a certain value.
In relation to trusts, as fas as I know you are required to declare any benefit you are receiveing form…[Read more]

I beg to differ on your second point.

You can still be a good friend to someone in dispair without getting involved.
Ie. make a suggestion such as mine, offer practial help (eg. help them move house if they are shifting)
BUT they still have to navigate their own way out of the pickle they got themsevles into.

Can I suggest your freind call lifeline (131144 if they are in sydney) They will be able to put them on to a financial counselling organisation, who would be professionals trained to deal with the situation. There are options rather than going bankrupt.

No, seriously, it was great meeting some of the people on the forum. Well done Len for getting the ball rolling.

One thing I will say though is that I note that 390 people have read this post but only 6 turned up…

Come on everyone, we can really create synergy and help each other in our various successes by making the effort…[Read more]

I had a similar situation (but not as bad as this) on a recent settlement (I was purchaser)
* solicitor handed file to clerk
* 5 days before settlement, I had not heard from them, phoned solicitor to see what was going on
* “girl” started by telling me she had a cold, husband/kids had cold – sorry but I dont care, I jsut want my property…[Read more]

Looking forward to putting faces to some of the names on this forum.

See you then.

One of my friends was in Amway for a couple of years, and had a few disturbing stories.

There was a couple in her upline (ie. they were quite senior in Amway), and Amway Head Office made them lease out a jaguar at their own expense, so they would be perceived by their downline to be mega-successful in their Amway…[Read more]

Fortunately I had a pretty decent boss, and he gave me a separate letter that omitted the paragraph about being on a 3 month probation, and my loan approval went through.
Depends on your employer I guess, if you ask nicely and explain why you want this, he/she may do this for you.
Cheers

They did this to cut costs as it is cheap labour ie. these people get paid about 40% of what we get for doing the same job. It’s not the caller who is the ogre here, only greedy corporations.

A PI loan, only the interest portion is deductable.

An IO loan will free up cashflow to buy more properties.

It depends on your individual circumstances and future plans what loan is best for you.

A word of warning though: beware of seminars that use subliminal brain-washing tactics to try to get you to sign up to the next one. I…[Read more]

I too have had several people bag me and challenge me about my IPs. I have found this really discouraging, and can only put it down to a combination of jealousy and ignorance.

At the end of the day, its not really about money, nor is it about property (ie. property is just a vehicle for getting what you want out of life).
