My favourite nursury rhymn was “go to sleep, go to sleep so you’re Mummy can go too. Whoever comes up with an idea on getting small children to sleep will not have to worry about property to become a millionaire.

Hope your daughter has a lovely birthday Del. My sons are 27 and 21 and I still can’t believe how clever I was to produce them.

Thank you all for your help

It takes a real man to apologize when he has done wrong. Good on you and a big thumbs up

Here’s another negative but it can’t be helped sometimes. My then 19 year old son, complete with long hair and the current “look”, rented a brand new 3 bed unit through a full time Managing Agent and didn’t have one inspection for a full year. He twice notified the Agent that the reticulation didn’t work and still didn’t get a visit. When he…[Read more]

Thanks Minimogul, I’ll check that out and then try for some definite air fares.

Well this is a classic case of me posting before I have really looked into things. The venues will not be advised until after registration Makes it a bit hard. Maybe if I could get info on Motels or YMCA’s near the city that would be a starting point. thanks

Propertylogist, I only sleep about 5 hours and I am certainly not successful, just getting old and needing less.[]

We start at 4.30am. Weekdays usually done by 5.00pm but sometimes are still at it 9.00pm. Saturdays and Sundays we usually finish around 8.00am and then go look at properties, do shopping, clear a bit more of the jungle. The more we clear the more we find. So far we have found a lemon, two orange, a mandarine, three fig, an apricot, a loquat…[Read more]

At about the same time our youngest was learning to use a knife and fork we had a cow (cowboy)to be butchered. While in transit to “the butcher” our son asked how the slaughtering was done. After an explaination he asked “Does the butcher have to hold Cowboy with a fork too?”
No 1 son was having a sleep over with his amply proportioned Nana who…[Read more]

Mini, you can type aa to mean the same as an a with dots over.
Our youngest is named Nimbus and he loves it. My husband is a Dane and is motor bike mad. The Nimbus is a Danish made bike produced by the brothers Nielsen of Nilfisk fame. In Denmark a child is not named for sometimes up to three months so that you can get a feel for a name. We…[Read more]

Well done Traci-Lee. A few of those a year and you will be laughing

Casey, you should look at the house you have, size, condition etc and do the sums. What would your return be as Commercial and what would your return be as units. What is your plan, sell or hold? One of our properties was a rejuv and sell but part way through we discovered it’s to be re-zoned soon so our strategy changed. Looking through…[Read more]

Lived in the country while oeur kids were growing up and had Cowboy, Jean and Caroline the cows, Rutherford (after Margaret the actess who most will not remember) and Wilbur the pigs, lots of Pinky’s who were always sold, Steggles and Henny Penny were Bantams some 21 years ago, various other hens and roosters, ducks, cats and dogs. Currently we…[Read more]

They often come back to visit the neighbours[] or haunt old stomping grounds

We had an option to purchase an off the plan unit but bowed out as we could not get full finance on a 6000 postcode. Rents are often less than just a bit further out.

Currently we have one IP for sale, purchased 6 years ago for $154,000 and on the market for $250,000 (not a good deal but it has been rented for part of the time and used as PPR for the rest)are renovating another which was to be sold but then found out that the property is to be re-zoned making it a four unit site so it is now getting a modified…[Read more]

We build Government Housing and what generally happens if a block or many houses are for sale in one area is that the tenants have been relocated to new premises, generally not too far away but often far enough for a whole new group of families to move into the ex govt dwellings. We have found that they are usually cleaned up and the area can…[Read more]

I agree floating floors look great but I am a little scared at what future tenants may do to them [?] I’ll let you know in a year or so[]

We recently went to one in Perth and found it a waste of time. Lots there peddling their own developments, some mortgage brokers, some share investment companies, some presenters giving talks that could be interesting if you had never been to one before. Highlight was speaking to Adam & Fiona who seem to be a really nice genuine couple who are…[Read more]
