Helen, the argument of -CF bad, +CF good, is not that simple.

I “discovered” +cf investment in 1998 in Goulburn when my daughter married and moved to Bega. I was heavy into negative gearing and couldn’t believe that I could buy properties for $80 and rent them for $170.
At the time I timidly asked the expert investors in the market about this…[Read more]

How about someone has a good customer service story?
I recieved today $600 from my broker who is refunding me some fees the building society was supposed to refund. Since they refuse to on some cok and bull story, he said: never mind, I’ll pay.

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Screming and Sizzling Duck, the “water car” is a well known hoax. Do a search on Google and you will find web pages willing to sell you plans to build your own. The story about BP and its technology suppression exercise, is thrown in to add colour and attract the masses way of thinking: “Big/rich/successful is bad, small/mediocre/battler/poor is…[Read more]

Spot on hotshot…but be careful because this way is how controversy and bickering starts. “I said this not that but you said this and I did not say what you say I said etc[biggrin]

As for landlord insurance, let’s expand a bit.

How do we choose our avatars?
As you scroll through the many choices, you will find one that seems OK. Does it mean you can explain why you did so? Sometimes you may sometimes you probably don’t know. Other times you are probably better off not knowing.

I agree with you both.
Perhaps laziness is too derogatory, I think that in Australia there is a culture of anti-success, (the politically correct term is ‘laid back’)
In addition, the message is preached everywhere you turn. At school you are told to be “what you want to be” University is for “nerds”, a career in the mayor professions is for the…[Read more]

LifeX
Business and pleasure do not mix.
(In this case, it is business and welfare.)
You are in the renting property business. Hire a professional to do the “dirty” work.
If you are inclined to do some welfare, do so at your heart’s content, but stay away form your business with it.

The reason?

Tell me just one thing Fern.
How can I have a bee in my bonnet?… conceded bonnet has a be,
I dont have a bonnet,

It is the bee that should be worried me thinks…
