In the Pilbara we are subject to Cyclones and, by law, have to have what is termed cyclone shutters or screens. these are usually aluminium grills that hinge from the roof and protect the windows from flying debrie. these can be modified to give extra security BUT recently a new product has taken our market by storm – INVISIGUARD.
Cheers All,
I do like the idea of building relationships, that way I can get some better pricing and the relationship partner gets to win by repeat business! Win-win, for want of a better clishe.
What about the Stamp duty issue? If I stay with the current lender, but refinance to a different product (say a proffesional pack), do I save by not…[Read more]
It’s been over $1.45 in the Pilbara for over two to three months now.
Oooooooo
Talking Economic trends – what about the ginormous development in China, Korea and, to some extent, in Japan???? Iron Ore exporters are going nuts with expansions. they can’t get the stuff out of the ground fast enough!…[Read more]
Sorry, but I thought that unless it ‘states subject to finance’, that they are obliged to attempt to get finance!
I mean it doesn’t really matter except that you are no longer bound by the O&A or contract.
Theoretically you could say that you have another offer on the place and you are in negotiations for more money, so if they still want it they…[Read more]
I think Palms are great!
After-all, when they drop a leaf, it’s not like you need a rake or anything! Just walk up to it and drag it out! Great around pools, much better than any other trees! Hehehe, we find them most cyclone resistant too. Works well in Hedland! [grin]

recently had the opportunity to visit Carnarvon, They are beautifying their forshore (it looks the part) very much in line with what Mandurah has done. Although not close to Perth, they recently had a big move on property values! Stage two of their forshore development will (or has been) announced during the Perth Royal show this…[Read more]
Dutchess,
I believe that Pre-nups are not water tight in Australia. things may have changed in the last few years, though.
Best way to protect your asstes from “freeloaders” (I have thougth about this myself – have seen a friends sister taken to the cleaners after 8 months of defacto relationship. Uuu-glyyyy!) is to put assets into a Trust. What…[Read more]
and where do you get those funky emoticons? Being a troglodite and a slo learner – I’d just love to find where you get them. They don’t look to be part of the forum……

Darjovu, Microsoft have this awesome saying:”..where d you want to go next?” Well, what is more important, Toys or financial freedom?
If you use your equity to buy one or more IPs, then your accountant can do the working out for the special Tax reduction form (whatever it is called now) so that you pay less PAYG Tax. If…[Read more]
I have been at my wife for 7 years and now she is better at it than me! Damnit!
GeoffT, we got one house first (PPOR) and then saw how all the theory correlated with the practical! During this time we worked hard at controlling our spending and now we have put a deposit on our first investment. All within 12 months. It…[Read more]
You can put in annexures to your hearts content, anything from ‘Strucutral Integrity’ to dancing girls when you move in, but do you do that over east?
WA just uses, to my mind, an easier format, just as binding (just try and get out of one) and just as flexible. You can, for instance, cross out the subject to finance without…[Read more]
Hi all,
rung Homepath – yep, no offset, no other accounts, no nothing, just the lowest interest rates around and, supposedly, one of the most flexible loans on the market……I canpay in extra and then do a redraw each month (at $40 each), but that is just too much of a P. in the A.! Apparently they used to do offset accounts but went away from…[Read more]
