I hate to appear stupid but can someone tell me where I can learn this forum lingo. Is there somewhere I can click which will make words like Moderator make sense?
GraceyHi Gracey,
You certainly don’t appear stupid – there’s a lot of learning in property investment – most of us learn something every day whether in property investing or life in general.
When you click on the I Agree when you sign into the forum, you will read what the Moderator does, in other words, moderates or oversees what goes on the forum, can delete/edit if not appropriate.
Also some of the books relating to property have a Glossary in the back, same as study text books, that is a list of words and their meanings to do with the subject of the book. A couple I have with such a list are The Property Investor’s Handbook by Graham J. Airey and How to Create an Income for Life by Margaret Lomas.
You will also learn as you go and read more. Good luck.

OOPPPSS!!
Acronyms are fine i.e. using the first letters of a saying e.g. FHOG for First Home Owner’s Grant.
What really annoys me on the forum is spelling errors e.g.
Please remember what you learned in school:
“I before E except after C” so
yield not YEILD
receive not RECIEVEI feel like an old school marm – sorry can’t help it, Bill! Yes, I know this should be in Soapbox!

Don’t worry Gracey, you have to appear stupid at first to learn anything.
I had to ask what PPOR stood for[
]’primary place of residence’I also didn’t know what LOC was, ‘line of credit’
not to mention QS, ‘quantity surveyor’
My advice is, the more you ask the more you learn, i asked all these questions, and i don’t think people think i’m stupid, well, i hope they don’t anyway, lol

]As a beginner I also had the same problem with abbreviations. Hence, I have collected and put together all abbr.I could found.
I don’t think I could post it here.
Should it be of any help to you just email me and I’ll send it to you.
My email add is: bennygo at hotmail dot com.
And if somebody could add the missing abbreviations to the list that would be great!This is great! Some-one else is asking all the ‘stupid’ questions so I don’t have to. LOL had me stumped.
