I agree that all the ‘Hullabaloo made about the ceremony & reception ruins the experience’. This is why myself and my husband decided to elope until the dam old relies found out! We ended up flying to Sydney & the parents meet us and got married with a simple ceremony with a celebrant overlooking the Sydney harbour bridge, totally amazing.

Perfect so that makes three!

If any one else would like to come PM me before Wednesday 19th.

See you then [biggrin]

Just a really nice little bar!

I’ll PM everyone when I have more names.

See you soon Myydral!

Don’t talk about Katherine floods, heading up that way to live in March.

I’ve been lookin at this little mining town area myself, population currently around 800.

Look forward to using it when it’s fixed.

Might contact you re: refinaning my loans.

In the ‘home loan repayments calculator’ & ‘how much can I borrow calculator’, can’t see whats in the yellow boxes?

I don’t know if it’s just me but I can’t seem to scroll down the screen on your site?????

[blink]

Well I have to say that your home loan calculator is the most accurate that I have used. Most sites I’ve been on are all over the shop with them.

Great! [biggrin]

The company is paying for my husband through his work. Unfortunatly it’s been company policy for years.

I’ll look into the spouse option, thanks.

Contact Mark Webster in Asp, he did all my insurance with CGU. Their easier to talk to rather than going straight to CGU.

Thanks I think I will. The office is in Alice Springs.

It’s sad really for them, they obviously haven’t sold many properties over the past year to replace the photo. It’s not like it’s a beautiful expensive house either that they would want to hold claim to selling, it’s just an old housing commission house nothing very special at all!

This…[Read more]

And what was the postmans reply to this??

Hi femaleage20, I’m also in good old Alice Springs! I have two properties in Alice, one IP and one PPOR that is soon to be my second IP when I leave town in Feb05.

My suggestion to you is keep your property, both my properties have added considerable capital gains over the last few years and I can’t see it stopping. My PPOR has added over…[Read more]

Thanks Derek, makes sense![exhappy]

I live in a hot climate so decided to put floor boards in all three of the bedrooms of my IP. The carpet had had it’s day and vinal floorboards where less expensive to replace then with carpet, also they have a 10 year warrantee. They look great!

In the Uk, um for sure carpet!

Above all remember any loss of income is subsidised (by your appropriate tax rate) by the ATO and as such your end of year out of pocket expenses are not as bad as they seem.

What does this mean?

My partner is now very keen to sell our PPOR and with the profits use this to purchase 2-3 IP in the following few months. We should make around $70,000 profit so this is over $20,000 deposit for each IP.

Our PPOR has a swimming pool so we think we’d rather sell it off and not have to worry about an aging pool which may prove to be quite…[Read more]

Wow what a reply. I do feel much better this morning just got a bit on top of me yesterday.

I live in a small town of 28,000, xmas time people leave and with the new year they seem to start coming back.

Um thanks for the advice Jeff but I think at this point I think I’ll stay with 2IP and slowly work my way up.

Does everyone think that this is…[Read more]

Darwin has an overdose of apartments & units that have been built over the last few years, good rental returns but high turn over of tennants -bit of a tricky market. If I was to invest in Darwin I’d go for a house in the middle to high priced areas, don’t touch units to many of them.
