Work smarter, not harder!.

Caz I am jealous! Your doing what hubby and I wanna do!!! Well are gonna do eventually!

I agree with the others. Kitchen, bathroom, paint and practicality. The only thing I would disagree with is what Anatasia said about polishing up the floor boards. Only do that if you are going to sell the house. Don’t bother about doing it if it for a…[Read more]

Yes Bazza there are. We will be buying in Bunbury (south of Perth) there are plenty of 11sec properties down there.
C YA![]

Work smarter, not harder!.

oops, just remembered some more about guzumping, more so the correct definition is when the seller sells the house to someone then is offered more so they dump the original buyer for the higher offer. It is a crap way to work…

Work smarter, not harder!.

If you think they are bad in Australia, the real estate agents are nothing compared to here in UK. The real estate system is not regulated here and there are some really dodgy workers that are ripping absolutely every buyer and seller off!

A lot of my friends who have sold in the past year were guzumped at least three times before a proper…[Read more]

YEah, I agree. It frustrates me a lot that there is so much pressure about retirement and bizzo. The in-laws are still building and paying off their PPOR!! They were a little unlucky though. They moved from South Africa when they were early 40’s so that their children wouldn’t have to grow up in a prison type environment. My hubby is greatful…[Read more]

Most have only got the house they live in with barely any savings at all. I look at my parents and they don’t have a great deal. THey are lucky enough to have two properties but the extra property is my dad’s superannuation!

My mum has only gone back to the work force about 4-5 years ago, so she wont have a great deal saved…[Read more]

Cameron, you have brought up a damn good topic that is very relevant to our futures. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am considered a generation “X”er who is supposed to be the one generation that is not producing enough babies for the future.

I heard a year or two in the government pipelines, they were thinking of giving incentives to…[Read more]

Sometimes it is best to keep the same strand going as ppl tend to read the ones with several replies. Maybe post the same questions under amit’s cobar string and see if someone answers it.

For EG, in-laws bought their farm 20km away from Albanyf ro$120K (I think), the next door neighbours…[Read more]

Gee thanks guys for your input. It is wonderful to see everyone has multiple hobbies that can take their mind off property investing for a while.
