Still 1-0: Come one guys!

Can you see the Guus Hiddink style coming out?

Sometimes the socceroos forget and cluster a bit, but I really think they’re getting it! [medieval]

Wooohoooo 1-0 so far!

I love screens… all those scarey creepy crawlies and mossies should be doing their hunting out of my house!

I just see flyscreens as basic fixtures that should come with every window and door, nothing to stress about. They will last for years and years, and you can depreciate them as well.
I hardly think that a few flyscreens will send a…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

If PMs get a letting fee when they find a new tenant, what incentive is there for them to find a long term tenant? Surely they’d get more money out of finding short term tenants – the shorter the better!

What’s the solution?

I agree that to start investing in porperty, put this money into a high savingsaccount and only add to in, if you can a minimum of 10% of your wages.
Dragon direct and ING do not charge fees at all, and there is no minimum amount to open an account.

While this amount is growing every month, you have time to educate yourself as much as you can…[Read more]

“…not sure how you depreciate a hole.”

Too funny, GR!!!
But I am curious too!
I also wonder how much you would insure a dugout for- I mean, say that there’s a fire- it will merely be black and will need cleaning and interior walls rebuilt…I suppose.
But the cave will still remain?
If there’s a cave-in (if that’s possible) then you’d have to…[Read more]

I suppose if they paid a special price for special services they expect to have some special privileges such as their own special [buz2] forum to get special advice…

Hehe sometimes I’m curious too and wish I could be a special fly on their wall![comp]

Hi Kenkoh, I discovered that you replied to my post.
I just want to give you my opinion of the “unconditional love” thing- at the risk of being lost along the detour, hehe.

I do think that unconditional love is basically a myth- most people are not able to love unconditionally.

You say that “true marriage is never meant to end up in dir…[Read more]

That was great, Redwing!

Sorry, can’t help you, but I am curious… do you want this information out of interest or are you planning to do something with it once you have a collection of a few cases?

Celivia

Agree, it depends on the circumstances. If the property is close, if you have time, and if you think you’d enjoy managing it yourself, I’d go for it.
But it’s too much trouble to manage a distant property.
Luckily, so far, I am happy with my PM. It’s too far away to manage myself.

THis is a link about managing from Office of fair trading:

GR, can I have the money first and then think about it?[biggrin]

I would take a long time to decide, I think. I would leave it sitting somewhere safe compounding interest while I was doing the thinking.

Thinking about it would make me AT LEAST $50,000- $60,000 a year risk free.[biggrin]

I’d go on a nice holiday several times a year ‘coz having…[Read more]

Yes, so it is legal. I found this site that may be of interest, Dannyboy.

Good luck.[buz2]

Celivia

Is it legal to do this?
If you sub-let, you could be made responsible for everything ‘your’ tenants do to the property, I assume?

And why do you not want to hear from people who advice against it? Don’t you want to look at it from all sides, good and bad, happy and sad, before you decide to go ahead?

IMHO the more info you can scrape together…[Read more]

Look at the nearest bigger town, I assume you will find property managers there who service the smaller towns arond the area and who can rent it out and manage it for you. Management fees may be on the high side, but just see if it’s worth it.

Hi Ron,
A good thing is that she is reading a property investment book- this may spark her interestPerhaps the strategies that she knows about do not suit her. If she reads from a wide range of authors on property investing who introduce her to different strategies there may be something she feels positive about.
This may be a good point to start,…[Read more]

I had the same suggestion as Pen; we had no trouble digging up our palm trees a couple of years back because they were getting too big for the spot they were in. We then replanted them in another spot. Tell your neighbours that they are welcome to dig it out and you could plant it further away from their house.

Hehe igniting a BBQ under the palm…[Read more]
