I was just looking at Wank Bests Light Home loan. It appears (on the outside at least) to be one of the best on the market.

After such a glowing refrence from the Dev. I was almost sold, but I want an offset account so perhps not for me.
Lets have a look at Homepath, STD var. Hm Ln, min $10K, no fees, no max, LVR97%, BUT do they have…[Read more]

marsden has propably given you the easiest way, another is to give each property a separate ‘Heading and then repeat the accounts below each as sub headings – rather messy, but it works. It summates the individual IPs costs in the header account.

….although, if you own them (with the banks) the accoutns could be set up as a sole trader (or…[Read more]

I’m hosting a VC (video Conference) in about 1 hour! Might catch myself – just for giggles……

You have a deposti on a block in Capricorn, Rob_W?

I tried to get in there, but was unable to be physically present. Apparently people were camping out infront of the Sales Office to get a block near the ocean! The agent wasn’t able to take an Absent-Deposit (like an absent vote) and so I missed the boat. Just gotta keep an eye out for more…[Read more]

Terryw,
sounds like a great reason for buy-n-hold?!!?

Unless you keep on borrowing against it…..what a nightmare![snitch]

And another thing – what is it with kids in pools and screaming their heads off ?? Why is it, that when water touches their body, they have this primeval urge to scream their lungs out…constantly…for hours on end….every time ?? Why can’t kids play in pools without shouting ??

Cheers,

Hahahahahahaha, just dragged the kids out of…[Read more]

Met my wife while owning a 1982 Toyota Corolla P/Van. crappy paint, dings and dents everywhere – she still married me so haveing a nice car isn’t as vital as first thought!

We bought a new 2001 Hyundai Excel with all the fruit but it will have to last for many a while yet. We bought it because we were about to have Number one child and she didn’t…[Read more]

Robo,
no, the spa is on a metal frame (for cylone reason) But I intend on building a pergola around it (out of Duragal – again for cyclone reasons) and open it up to my lounge room (via French doors) – once the refinance is thru! It is a lovely 3 seat, 1 lounge spa. Needs a little TLC, but on the hole is good value (@$750)!

RE: the pool being…[Read more]

Hi Robo,
friends of ours have a pool. Dad wants it out so he can put on a bigger shed.

pro:
kids learn to swim ealry and so a re safer near water! His daughter can swim the lenght of the pool (partly underwater, but hey) while my son (same age) has a big win if he makes it accross the width of the pool. Also he needs much more supervision. Other…[Read more]

Hi all,
aside from the personal interchanges about charging families, etc (sorry! Don’t want to inflame the situation further); but I may be missing the fundamental point of the FHOG!
Is it not a requirement that the recipient live in the house for at least 6 months within the first 12 months of ownership?!! And as such you can’t use it as an…[Read more]

Dale GG suggests (after you have consulted your Lawyer and Accountant) that if you were to set up a Hybrid Trust and bought units in that trust (ie: give it the borrowed $$) then it is seen as a separate investment, and if making a loss, can benefit him with his high Tax bracket.
I do however agree with you that the rest doesn’t really help him…[Read more]

Matt,
Have you called the Principal? No point in getting your knickers-in-a-knot over some agent being difficult.
Allow them to state the relevant law to you over the phone, that states that a faxed offer is not acceptable/illegal. If you don’t get satisfaction just go up the ladder, find the owner and tell them some-one is bound to end this…[Read more]

We too have been using Faxes on our O & A’s.
As long as the original is signed in the end, there is no reason you can’t negotiate in writing and fax it thru.
Our originals are handled by our Settlement agents so in the end you sign the original anyway.
Sounds like the agent is either wet behind the ears or doesn’t believe in you as a viable…[Read more]

I Had a very similar introduction to Investing!
Young guys talking up the investing and making statements that “Capital Growth” is King and so on.
Great until you learn that the intent of the spend money is what determins its Tax Deductibility! So your CG grows, and so does your non-deductible debt! Sounded good for a while, too bad if your CG…[Read more]
