Do they have to see when you log in or can it be just a messaging service?

It can be both. Grab a copy from http://www.icq.com and have a play with it.

Also Steve or Brent you may be able to tell me if the new and improved site will have instant messaging for forum members.

Hi Joner,

GOOD ON YOU !!

I wish you were in Melbourne.

Perhaps you could email Geoff Doidge & Paul Eslick. Start at the top, then work down!

Good luck,

Del

Hey Del,

Maybe you can arrange Joner’s flights and accomodation so he can give you a hand? []

Hey Charlie,

Great pick-up and some really interesting information there.

Personally, I don’t think it will go ahead. There is too much potential for the system to be exploited by sharks out there. That means more risk for the bank and, as we can historically see from banks, more risk means more cost.

The benefits for the bank are potential…[Read more]

You’ve got ME worried now Brent! Which bits of my post were worrying? Like I said, I’m new at this…

Cheers

Sorry for the huge worry. Perhaps I should have elaborated.

I’m with AD on this one. Check the figures, do some research, and evaluate Ballarat’s ongoing growth prospects if you’re thinking of negative gearing…[Read more]

Hey Sunnigirl,

I am wondering if anyone knows if the area up north will give me a good return over the next 2-5 years?

I’m guessing that you’re talking about capital gain returns? ie – when the value of your property rises?

This is very difficult to predict without a working crystal ball. Who knows what the property market will do in…[Read more]

Hi Richmond,

A couple of things you said in your post were a bit worrying. If I were you, I’d look at how I could invest in a way which is most likely to guarantee my investment returns.

Hi,

I think the most amazing part of the weekend wasn’t the weekend itself – it’s been hearing about the action you have all taken.
I’m looking forward to hearing (and sharing) more stories with you all in the coming weeks and months.

Thank-you to everyone who came along and made this years Australian Masters of Property Investing event…[Read more]

Hi Daniel,

I think you need to have a look at why you’re investing in property in the first place.

You mention that investing in property is placing financial strain on you. Is this what you intended when you were first investing in property? I get the feeling you invested in property because you wanted to end up in a better financial…[Read more]

Hi Ozchick,

The 10 protege’s for the Millionaire Apprentice Program have yet to be selected, and won’t be for about a month.

The applicants are using the next 30 days to go through the next step of the application process – taking action. For them, it may be getting their financial affairs in order, researching the market or a strategy, or doing…[Read more]

I think it’s fair to say about accountants, just as any professional group, that if you want to pay peanuts, you’ll end up with monkeys.

Perhaps ‘value’ is a better question to ask, and not ‘cost’.

As for finding a great accountnat, Steve McKnight prepared a free report a while ago on this topic. I’ve left instructions on how to download it at ht…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,

Hey Nick,

Good questions re: the seminar. I actually hadn’t even thought about them before, but since you asked…

We’ll be in their main conference room. We’re their only conference that weekend, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding us.

Who says they have to refinance the full amount?

Why not let them take on bank finance for as much as they can, and you wrap them a second mortgage for the remainder?

Hey Kirby,

I had to laugh when I saw the ‘bump’ post. So you don’t like staying at the bottom of the forum, ‘eh? []

Benjamin Partners do our rental management in Ballarat. Their number is (03) 5331 1500. Bev is probably the best person to speak to.
I hope this helps you out.

Hi Leigh,

You’re not talking about the fish and chip DVD, are you?

Deposit bonds are very popular these days for people wanting to get 100% finance on off-the-plan properties.

Usually they cost about 1% of the purchase price, and are like insurance which you put up to say “Yes, I will be able to afford the deposit when the time comes”.
