Call me a sceptic but when any type of organisation tries to lure you in with a pitch long on hyperbole and short on information screams RUN AWAY to me.

Can you provide the stock code for chosen4u or winners edge or whatever the real name is?

BTW Winners Edge is an animal supplement supplier in the US

Management Fee is usually 16.5% of rent non-negotiable for the life of the lease to DHA. They do pay for some minor repairs and spruce the place up when they leave though. Not sure I’d be jumping through hoops to sign up for 4% return (before mgmt fees, costs, taxes etc) though – especially with no guarantee of any increase in value.

You may want to search for Shariah (from memory) mortgages. No interest is allowed to be charged so compliant loans can have a shared equity type arrangement

We only have an agent managing one of our IP’s – the rest we look after. The managed one is in Battery Point in Hobart and we pay 8% per week flat fee with no other charges like postage etc. The initial offer was about 12% which we declined.

Have you thought about going closer to the city? All of those areas are way out west. You could still get something decent much closer in.

Selling some, keeping others. The numbers just aren’t there for buying right now. Moving in other directions

That is just lazy Jack. At least make people work to bust you as a fluffer.

Hello Pot….this is the Kettle…. You’re black

My council must be better (cheaper) than yours

I think mine was around $20 for a prop in Launceston. It’s outrageous. Mind you the actual rates are about $1k a year.

In theory Kerwyn – yes. In practice – no.

Plenty of kiddie fidlers in all religions Gatsby, and even amongst the non-religious. However the Micks are one of the few to put unreasonable expectations on their clergy such as no sex/marriage.

Mind you the Branch Davidians thought it okay for their self annointed prophet to have sex with every single woman/girl over the age of about 12 in…[Read more]

Hi Greg,

Have worked in marketing and CRM over the years so you pick up the odd trick along the way

Membership of ADMA isn’t compulsory so it will only block actual members. From memory though the US is looking at introducing a law that makes everyone an automatic opt out and permission needs to be obtained specifically to contact with…[Read more]

It will be tough to legislate against calls originating in another country – particularly if they use predictive diallers from a database and haven’t purchased contact lists. They may just have programmed in all phone numbers from e.g. 02 8000-0000 to 02 9999-9999, and they record which are valid and dump those that are not.

This can be done…[Read more]

Perhaps – absolute power corrupts…absolutely?

If you think about it the “portfolio” as you call it is a result of centuries of bringing the message to the masses. They were built as houses of God and their current worth is not the point.

When was the last time you saw a new Catholic church going up? I have seen plenty for sale in the last few years due to declining flock size.

Ok pelican – nice to see you can rationalise it to yourself, but I didn’t attack anyuone’s beliefs I merely countered irrationalism with irrationalism to show how ridiculous some of these comments are.

I don’t worship Jenman – my dealings with his agents have been less than impressive and I don’t like the way they sell property.

I think the best…[Read more]

Pelican – obviously the irony went straight over your head. I do not deride others opinions or their right to have opinions, much as I expect to be able to express my own opinions.

My issue (that appears endemic to this site) is the “conform to my view or you’re an idiot” or “conform to my view or you are Neil Jenman”. Is it because of the large…[Read more]

That’s not very nice Byron. It’s like me accusing you of being a morally bankrupt wrapper disguising your ripping off of the aussie battler with empty platitudes like “I create win/win situations”.

I believe we have already established that there are two separate views on this. We are all equally entitled to our views surely?
