Thanks for the advice Guys, it has certainly given me some more to think about.I haven't had the chance to speak to the person myself yet, my wife was the one that he approached so I am not sure on all the details yet. I will have to have a chat with him before I make any decision. After reading my first post again I thought it might be worthwhile…[Read more]

I must admit I have had the same thoughts about a holding deposit. As far as I am aware, in NSW it doesn't guarantee you the property, the agent/vendor can't keep the money, and there is no componsation for you if they do decide to sell it to another party.So, What is the point of the Holding Deposit? Do any of you serious NSW investors use a…[Read more]

Thanks for the info Swerve,

I will just clarify that the main room downstairs is full height, but the laundry has the low ceiling (it makes you feel like your in Alice in Wonderland [blink]). But the laundry has a properly laid concrete floor and the main room has a dodgy concrete floor…

This property would be a PPOR for us atm so I would turn…[Read more]

Hi Elaine,

I understand your frustration.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on the computer?
Do you have the Macromedia Flash plugin installed?

I have to admit its the “forebidden to view or download” that is messing with my thought processes.

Feel free to PM me or contact me using msn (click on the little msn butterfly below for…[Read more]

Great post Mortgage Hunter

You certainly got my brain ticking.

Hi Sweet,

I have just finished reading “Trust Magic” by Dale Gatherum-Goss.

It isn’t about Positive or Negative Gearing as such, but it is a good source of information regarding Trust structures and the benefits/disadvantages of owning property within a trust.

I am a Quarter of the way through his other book “Tax Battles” and so far it is…[Read more]

Hi All,

Everytime I have sent back homework I have been imediatly sent back another email with the bonuses Steve was offering.

Other than that, last Thursday when we were meant to recieve the next installment of the Kick Start program we were sent the reno video that aliandmike mentioned earlier.

Looking forward the the next installment on…[Read more]

Hi tbsuper1,

I am no expert on this matter, but I thought cross-Collateralizing like that was generally not an advised structure as it complicates things. My understanding of that structure is if you lose one place you can lose them all.

From what I have picked up on the forums, it is the prefered method to use the equity in a property to get a…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply Tools,

After your response I went back and waded through the poorly structured ABS site and found most of the info I was after. So thanks for inspiring me look again. [biggrin]

I have recently got the cashflow 101, 202 and kids E-games. I have found these to be alot better than the actual board game. You can play against up to 4 computer players or you can pay a subscription and play against ppl from across the globe.

For someone that is not overly intersted in the concept it can be to boring for them, but for myself…[Read more]

Hi all

Don’t want to rain on the idea it is a creative one. I am concerned though what happens if the system falls over or is hacked into. Wireless whilst very useful ( I have it on my laptop) can be a hazard to the ill-informed. Not sure how much you know about it.
I would also wonder what would…[Read more]

what happens if a 30 year old joins, will they be out the following year when they turn 31?

I would like to know the answer to this too.

As I am creeping closer to 30 [eh] I would like to know if I would have to leave my new found friends and associates because I was deemed not young anymore *cries at the thought*

Sound like a good idea to me. I’m 27and in sydney (sounds like a singles ad [blink]) and would love to attend this sort of meeting.

I would have to agree with Dr.X and THEWIZARD here and say that although its a good idea to spend time with ppl of the same age, the benifit of experience would be a greater incentive for me to turn up.

Hi mja,

Some ppl (myself included) would prefer to have choice over there speeds, download limits and shaping. This being said, it would be great to move into a place and have some decent internet access while I was organising my own adsl instead of having to use 56k [glum2].

But when it comes to the general population I am sure that most would…[Read more]
