I have got a $56,000 dollar odd investment property loan which i am still not sure if it would sell for a $20,000 profit or i would work on paying it down as quickly as i can to keep it as a long term rental. Capital gain is going to be unheard of in this Country house in the next three to five years though. Or would bringing this NAB loan over to…[Read more]

If Westpac let that what Rate would they provide? I guess yr saying this because there is also some benefit to the mortgage amount payable weekly. This amount is close to three times what's owing. I just paid down a 32,000 lump payment on that. 

The good Tradies do not need to advertise i have also found that the horror stories also come from the little Trady ads in the paper.Good Tradies want to hide and be selective as to who they work for so they do not get bothered with to many calls etc. The word of mouth runs strong for them!I have got enough Family members Cousins, Uncles either…[Read more]

I believe seeking/advertising for money partners is against the forum rules in the first instance.

Because credit can make me a lot of money. I made 50k equity on paper on the last purchase because i could buy some time to renovate a couple of properties knowing i could use the cash instead to buy an acquisition in the meantime. It saved my skin and i wouldn't have relied-ed on anyone else to get me through. My Bunnings Trade Card arrived this…[Read more]

Few bad stories also coming out about it in my blog.

Might have to change the thread title to "I'm not employing anyone"! On the face of it this scheme seemed good and it may be for some don't want to put anyone off but after a lengthy discussion with my newly discovered accountant have decided that it's not going to be as big a win from my economical situation anyway as previously thought actually…[Read more]

Are polished floor boards easy for tenants to destroy?

No, there the most hardy of them all and for that reason and there cost effectiveness many investors choose it! It can be stained in many different colors. There can be floor mats or a variety of rubber floor lay mats that can be put down on high traffic areas if wanted.

When it comes to blinds it varies greatly on size. I bought 5 Venetians here http://www.innercityhomeproducts.com.au/ for $305 and thrilled with the purchase and the look of them and delivered straight to the door from Perth all included. I was quoted from another place for the same order for over $2500. I priced five or six places online because…[Read more]
