Two great dirty big Rottweilers!
He – ‘Gabriel’ (came with the name, and her’Kira’, my wife called her that after we lost her predecessor (female) Kara. Previous male Rottie was called ‘Schultz’, mighty fine dog, all 77 Kgs of nasty snarling teeth. Scratch his belly and he was one big teddy bear.
Gotta love big dogs! They don’t break if you step on them in the dark…….[fear]

I’d hazard a guess and think that maybe one of the Directors of the board is about to swap his purple PJ’s and be upgraded to the white ones.Just imagine the backroom politics and wranglings behind the scenes for the power struggle – it’d be worse than any Govt election…these boys are like the US Supreme Court judges…once they are in they are there for life.
Being chairman of a 200 Billion USD organisation must be a rush…not that money has anything to do with it of course.
I think you’ll find a board of directors controlling the assets and businesses of the Church reporting to the Elders (Boiler room of any Church), where as the Pope and his “PPs’ (purple Pyjamas) are in charge of the Spiritual direction of the Church; two semi-separate things.
PS: sorry Scremin for the PPS comment.[blush2]

This is my biggest beef with the issue:the Cornerstone Christian Community Church as one example. It used its tax-free status to run a chain of pizza parlours in direct competition with other fast food businesses.
Seventh-Day Adventists own Sanitarium, which turns over $330 million a year but because it’s a religion, they don’t pay tax,” Ms Ferguson said.
there is a car park run tax-free by the Catholic Church in the CBD of Melbourne.
The government does not know how much money the Church earns from the car park or how much of that money made actually goes to charity because it does not have to tell them.
Smells like smear to me.
F.How else do you propose Charity gets its money? Advertise on TV? Oh no that cost money which they wouldn’t have unless they had business, perhaps they could bleed dry their congregation? Oh, didn’t some-one quote that the congragations are getting smaller because of the publics perception of the ‘Lack’ of worth of the Churches? I guess not! I wish I could work out how to get them (the Churches) money so that they can feed and cloth and councel and support and donate to the needy in their country! If only I knew a way they could fund these things to help the ever increasing need in, not only our country, but internationally too?!?!?
I hope it never happens to you, but the churches do a great many Socially supportive activities that are unfunded buy the general society! If they don’t have to pay taxes then they have that extra little edge to keep a charitable group going.
Not so terrible is it?! I have know churches to take in people, feed them, clothe them and then send them to a another city so that they can live with their family over there! Good thing they had the money, otherwise there might have been another increase in theft/burglaries costing more tax $$ for more police, another ‘tenant’ in Goal living off your taxes, another family in disrepair! But I digress………..you must be right! Sear indeed!

– Thomas EdisonAjay, tell us about yourself!
Do you have your own home? What equity do you have? What are your investment goals? WHy did you chose an IP at such high price?
What rent would you get for each? How long are they un-tennanted?
You get the idea…Cheers

– Thomas EdisonI don’t care about how anointed you are, Child Molestation should be punishable by carstration (as a minimum).
Sorry for the strong statement, but God forbid some-one messes with my children, I think I’d become very unchristian and a lot nasty! I know vengance is His (God), but I’d be first in line to be the tool!

– Thomas EdisonAwesome!
I wish you well! If I see the Easterbunny (and can stop my dad from shooting it) I’ll tell him to get you that price! Well done.
My brother in law does that; goes in and tells them how much he wants to pay and if they refuse him he gives them his card and tells them “If you change your mind. You can reach me here” and walks off. Has had one person not get back to him! Not bad for a short fat guy……..[wink2]
Have a great easter every-one!

– Thomas EdisonJust my thought!
I took a hard line (true it was very early on in my training) but it cost me a good opportunity, just because I wasn’t willing to give up an extra $2K! Now, I’d have to be honest and say – “Is the $2K (up to your limit of $180K – not higher) realy worth missing out on this property?
How far off is your Stage two of the plan? Do you need to cary the property for a long while? Or can you build relatively quickly to realise the $650K?I don’t want to falter you and hope you get the Property for the $178500, but I just don’t want you to throw it away for the sake of a couple of grand……..sorry. Perhaps a delay of a week to “work things thru” (mentioned to the REA) will bring the price closer to yours. If not, at least you’ve tried!
Best wishes!
Cheers

you appear to be taking shots at me. I hope you enjoy it! Let me reiterate, I am looking to develop areas in my skils profile that need it. This is one of those areas.It may have been a good opportunity – I didn’t know so I asked. I hope that is OK with you.

– Thomas EdisonTHe purchase valuation should be acceptable!
I understand your points. I believ from reading that the Resume is more of a report building program. As such it puts it into a usable format for a valuer – that is how I understand it.
As to the valuation increase, well, I thought that to be an empty promise also. Just by cleaning up the yard and removing the Termites I managed to create extra equity (not sure how much though). I guess it is one of those ‘Pie-in-the-sky’ things again!Cheers

– Thomas EdisonHi Woodsman,
funny you should put this post so close to mine!
I have come across a program that targets these situations and creates a Property Resume, see:https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic/16327.html
See what you think. I’d be interested in your input too. I believe you are on a winning strategy, but I don’t know enough or have experienced enough to assist. I have done what you have done, plus perhaps include a number of REA listings that reflect my IP/PPOR.
Cheers

It goes both ways.

– Thomas EdisonI gave 70% of my Ausstudy to my parents as they were both pensioners at the time I hit High School.
I believe that it also creates a stronger ‘ownership share’ in the family when a teenager is asked to contribute not only with doing house work but can help out with little things like adding a few bobb to the family income.
I guess it is my upbringing, but I have been doing odd jobs (mowing lawns and the like) since I was 10 and have used that money to put towards my Nick-nacks that I dreamed off so my parents didn’t have to carry the burden! Felt great to be independent (what I thought then)!I can’t see any harm in contributing $20/wk and working a couple of nights (as long as it is only a couple of nights – not get sucked/ bullied into doing more and more shifts) and that would leave plenty of time to do study and have fun.
Another Thread talks about the purchase of Cashflow 101 and Cashflow for kids for training and fun! So that Forumite parents can educate their children, rara; and here we are contradicting ourselves over $20/wk. Would working not be an education in itself?Hmmmm…….food for thought -self assessment?!

– Thomas EdisonLooks like it is too hot to handle!
It is a known fact that the Vatican City is the richest City in the world (just go there). With Catholisism being the largest single denomination spanning the whole world I’d like to know why this is so hard to believe?
As to them not paying the full Council Rates, I’d be guessing!
It is mainly a historical discussion..
I am not sure if the Church portrays itself as poverty stricken or poor.
I believe that the scriptures encourage us to forgo earthly treasures for heavenly treasures (that is to focus on Jesus and thru Him, God rather than allow ourselves to be ‘blinded’ by greed and material posessions). In other words learn the scripture and live by their principles and then go about your earthly life, be that investing or otherwise running a business.
Those examples where a rich person was told to give it all away was because he loved money (the reported root of all evil) more than anything else. He was encouraged to love his neighbour (others) as he loved himself. Apparently the message got lost…..Hope that helps some-what. I am just satarting out to learn the scriptures so I may not be 100% on the mark, but I hope it helps none-the-less.

– Thomas EdisonVerbal offers aren’t even worth the paper they aren’t written on! All offers in writing must, by law, be presented! No matter what state you’re in.
But I like the direct route! If the sole trading agreement with that agent has elapsed, you can go it alone!!!!!! The vendor saves money!!!!!! You save money!!!!! Settlement agents/solicitors will deal with the contracts and legal stuff; win-win……..

– Thomas EdisonHi big N,
I have played 101 and it was good to get started, but plateaued after a relatively short time. I am yet to play 202, but like you, I am put of by the high price.
I have just finished reading the “Rich dad, Poor Dad” book by Robert and, for some-one who professes to want to educate the poor, he kinda priced it out of their range, in my oppinion!I have a house and I am working on IP#1 and I can say that I don’t have the spare $300 or $110 for the game (101 or 202 respectively).
I seem to recall that 101 is required to be able to play 202 (you share the board)! So you’re up for $410 before you start! You can get Monoploy Gold edition for that!
Having said all of that, I would still like to play 202 as it is reportedly very exciting, with boom/bust cycles and people going broke, etc.Cheers

– Thomas EdisonI think you need to look into the actual Towns! What is hapening there? That is what should guyde you. I know more or less what is going to happen here for the next 7 odd years and plan to catch ride the wave. I wont expect a great deal of CG, but at this stage for me that is secondary. My plan is to work hard during this time to earn the construction $$ and plow that into the houses to free up more income, etc. For CG I will look else where like Perth. Time will tell.
You’d have to do the same. spend time on the phone and the internet and check out what is happening. RIng the local newspaper, talk to the local REAs, ask in this forum if anybody lives there or knows anything about the Towns (you started already), the more you know the lower your risk. It wont prevent bad things from happening but it’ll reduce the impact it will have on you and your business.
What is your strategy? Buy and hold or one of the selling strategies? This, too, will affect your decision top buy there. The longer I learn the more refined my plan becomes (and more complex), I just wish that the money would keep up with the plan! LOLSeek and ye shal find, knock and the door shal be opened. No just means that person can’t help you, go to the next one!
Keep us informed. It wouldbe interesting to see how you go over there. PM or emial me if there is something else that I might be able to assit you with.
Cheers
