Ummester,I have figured out how you can afford to get the home off your dreams.  Take you saving and head down to the casino and put everything on black.  You either get a whole heap of money and buy your home or you loose it all and then you can get a government home and winge to them. That way we greedy invester don't have to listen to you w…[Read more]

Ummester,You seem to look at investors as these greed pig-like people that just want to feed off the poor tenant who is paying the rent.  Its seems to me that you aren't looking at it the right way.  To me having a investment property is a way that I can provide for  my daughter's education and my life after I leave the work force.  At the mome…[Read more]

Hi,Haven't been on the forum for a while.  I looked into middlemount for awhile in Feb this year.  Seemed like a good place to buy,  I was looking into the oasis development.  Has anyone bought one of these properties and can you confirm that you are getting the rent that the web site claims.  I am looking as a 1 IP invester thinking bigger then…[Read more]

Another finance question, If you are looking for IP's can you claim flights, car hire, etc.  If you haven't put a contract or pruchased a property.  Can it still be a tax deduction? 

just found a website called www. cashfowcapital.com.au.  Anyone used it before, good or bad
