Thank you Geoff and ‘notabroker’, I supposed I got used to the broker to come home but now that I think about it who wants a stranger to puff hot air in your living room for an hour if you can do over the phone and mail? My wife use to hide when the broker came he he. I can’t use him anymore since he is on err emm long holidays on a certain…[Read more]

Mm, interesting possibilities….. I wonder if anyone factored in his investment strategies the possibility of a super eruption in Yellowstone? I mean, according to the TV show I saw the other day it is overdue….[cigar]

Hi microwave.
This are my thoughts: I would call it providence that they told you and you did not blow the house up this winter.
Ergo….

My ‘revenge’ would be to go to Bing Lee and buy the best and most expensive gas heater you can find and call it your blessing for 2005.

I hope you enjoy your (now) safe new…[Read more]

Thank you for your answers.
Dazzling, I agree about the link between petty little problems and residential properties. Usually I leave this to the PM who are working for me. This tenants are particularly demanding. I bought the property tenanted and the first month received a $50 bill for mowing. I thought it was the guy that does the communal…[Read more]

Khalida, if you want to prosper you need to purchase income producing assets. Real estate investments in Australia has been synonym of “negative gearing” for a very long time, in normal terms means to buy liabilities for the fringe benefit of transferring the loss to another source of income.

Cash-flow positive is the opposite to negative gearing…[Read more]

I love Golf …. but I love DIY too.[blink]

Nevertheless it makes sense that if you can use your time to close profitable deals, why would you use that time in working on something that others can do for $400 a day. I suppose it all comes down to where do you get your sense of achievement from.

Now if I call it a hobby does it still count as…[Read more]

Foundation, on a slightly more philosophical level, you have many times highlighted the “speculative” aspect of investors and usually demonise in some more or less subtile way the profit maximising exercises of the said investors, something I boo you for, yet you seem to have overseen the many post, this included where people are figure of speech,…[Read more]

‘What is a “real job” for you?’
Phew, big question. I think it’s something to do with an exchange… perhaps of time or knowledge or a service… either for money or some other desired / required commodity. Probably important that there is a perception that all parties to the exchange benefit in some way… As I said it’s a big question. I’ll have…[Read more]

Foundation, I thought I would get used to your comments but I can not go past your constant reference to “speculators” when referring to investors, your derogatory tone when referring to the level of commitment some investors have, and ridiculing with different innuendos the risk some people took, wisely or otherwise.

You say: “Odds are they’ve…[Read more]

I am in the market for a farm in the Camden/Cobbity area for myself, and have come across several big houses that were initialy built with a nice garage, suburbia style, but had since being converted into another room, some become bedroom others music room or play room for kids, with the addition of a carpet, eliminating the roller door and…[Read more]

Personal preference aside, gloss will become satin with usage but only in the areas that have more transit so it will show wear more than satin.
So for me it is satin without a doubt.

By the way if you plan to do the job yourself, (only assuming), including hiring the machine and sand the floor…reconsider. The difference between what you will…[Read more]

Now that you mention it, I heard something about that. They added this product recently. Must check them out.
Also Rencover seem to be specialised and promise a lot of things on their webpage. Worth to check it out too. I just sent them an e-mail asking for a quote for all my properties, may be tempted in offering me some discount…[Read more]
