Up to Germany [upsidedown]
I loved the game (in case you hadn’t noticed)- good thing they have been practising and focus a bit more than usual on taking penalties!
And Oh the keeper is soooo great!Fantastic job he did!
Do you know what I think- even though all the supporters were enthusiastic great and totally into it, they haven’t learnt yet about how to really supporting a soccergame- so that there is much more unity instead of just general noise. It will be much more powerful- extremely powerful.
If you have ever been to soccergames in Europe where soccer is a very popular (the most popular) sport, you would know what I mean about the whole stadium being in unity. About groups interacting with each other, about certain calls being coordinated at different ends of the stadium etc. That’s what I hope will happen here too in time- that soccer gets more popularity and the supporters will learn how to support a soccermatch more successfully. It will really help hype up the socceroos when they need it at certain times.
It is different to supporting other sports like football or rugby.
Anyone know what I mean?[blink]Anyway- stock up on party poppers because they’re gonna be WINNERS in Germany too, I tell ya!
Hiddink is gonna take ’em to the top, where they belong!Celivia
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]

Break:

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 landlord broke.If you have a property that is in an area with lots of mossies, a few mossies a day can send your tenants away!

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?

Don’t let life get in the way of living.
I am not so sure that property managers are making much more money out of letting fees (usually 1 weeks rent, but some charge half a weeks rent) than they are making from the percentage of rent they are getting when the place remains occupied.
They are only earning the percentage of the rent when the place has tenants, so if is vacant for a couple of weeks before they find a new tenant- they are missing out on that percentage for 2 weeks.
Thyey’ll have to spend time to find you a new tenant- interviews, advertising, checking out applicants, lodging bond money, updating their administration for the new tenants etc.
It is much easlier and less work for them to just keep your property tenanted by the same tenants. Especially since PM’s are usually very busy looking after an large portfolio of properties.

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 about investing in property.
By the time you’ve saved up enough cash to start investing, you’ll be more knowledgeable and confident.

“…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 start all over again in a new area to dig out a new dugout…I suppose.[blink]Celivia
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]
Or do you think they will allow a special, but mischievous 007 Hello Kitty as their unpaying, but ever so attentive tenant-pet inspect the special forum?

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 dirvorce in the first place, has it been properly founded on the strong foundation of unconditional love in the first placeâ€.
Exactly- marriage is not meant to end up in divorce, but the reality is, that most do end up in divorce and that people have no idea of what unconditional love really is.
“Why do partners wander away? Simply because not all the needs are properly satisfied by the other partner within the marriage/couple context.â€True!
People confuse unconditional love with ‘need’. People, at a certain stage of their lives, might ‘need’ some qualities the other has to offer. But later they may grow and change and they might need different things now. They were co-depending at some point; when their needs change they may not be able to depend on each other for their different needs anymore.
Unconditionally loving someone, in my opinion, means that you give to each other without any conditions or restrictions attached. It is totally free- yet it is always there. It means that you love, respect and accept all character traits in each other, that you love and respect the other person for who they are.
This kind of love is hard to find- if you do you may want to cage it into marriage, which, at that point, restricts that love, because it is a free love that cannot be trapped, and therefore the ‘unconditional love’ evaporates.The thing is that everyone wants to receive unconditional love[inlove], but, unfortunately, hardly anyone is able to give it.[glum2]

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:
I also vaguely remember harig or reading about an Australian book written on Managing your own property, but can’t think of the exact title, perhaps someone else knows?
Let us know about your decision, Spinsky, and good luck!
Celivia
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 these valuable thoughts about the money is pretty hard, ya know! [whistle]
Celivia
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 the better prepared you will be, even if it means scraping info out of the gutter
).
Look at positive and negatives sides; if you block out people’s negative experiences or refuse to look at the general negative points, you may be in for nasty experiences yourself and it will be too late.Celivia
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, if you are both feeling confident about that certain strategy.Otherwise, would it be possible for both of you have a certain amount of money you agree on to each do your own thing with that amount?
Have one ‘money pool’ from which you pay the necessities like groceries and rent or mortgage payments. The rest could be divided in half, so each can do with their own half what they like.Celivia

Psychiatrist I think you need to lie down on your own sofa and give yourself therapy [biggrin].
But seriously: Why do you stress when you know that you can pay off this property in 7 years?! I think that’s a fantastic accomplishment.[buz2]
So, “Hakuna Matata!”You have collected 5 or 6 hugs already, hehe! Hope it helps you to calm you down.[chill]

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 tree is also a great idea. Throw me the matches, neighbours![cigar]

I’m glad that things are working out for you, Newgen.
A little normalty, respect and compassion usually work wonders.
Can’t wait to see your finished project.Celivia
