Hi jnb,I would recommend the northern beaches, ie; Bucasia, Blacks beach, Rural view, these kinda areas are good.

Hi Catts,I actually didn't have any plans until the conversation the other week, It has always seemed so far away to think about it in much detail.But now it has been brought to my attention, I realise maybe I should be thinking ahead, and contemplate how I can best look after my wife and I in the long term.We have a couple of IP's which we have i…[Read more]

Hi Cattleya,I have also considered the share market also but after a couple of years of watching and learning the markets I have decided I really don't want to gambling with our money, or endure the constant stock market review every 10 min's.If you are not familiar with shares, leave them well alone. 

Hi Bardon,      That's a good thing  !    Life is too short to not feel good, every day.We should all make preparations against the economic uncertainty we are in, business administrators are doing big hours at present and the domino effect from each unpaid debt effects the overall economy.Keep your head above water and ride out the tough times   : )

Bardon,            Love your optimism  !

scha9799,That's excellent  !                           " Don't worry, I can get you a job as a dog groomer "  !How good is that.

Hi Wren10,The construction of the new prison will also bring in a lot of workers that will require accomodation in Darwin.             http://www.territorystories.nt.gov.au/bitstream/handle/10070/236832/Lawrie-061011-Prison_deal_heralds_construction.pdf?sequence=1

Hi Grandos Champos,Our IP's are in mining towns that have never even heard of units, it takes 6 hrs to drive out and do maintenance or inspections, so we aim to make the houses as robust as possible.We are drawing up a game plan before we carryout any future renovations, so any advise from the experienced investor, for low maintenance options is a…[Read more]

Hi Gavin,Why didn't you wire me that money  ? ?

Hi All,I have just pinched another a note from the forum topic: Window coveringsKate recommended :  I would recommend plantation shutters – they are fixed to the window frame so they can't be pulled and there are not cords either, the only problem is they are on the expensive side, but probably worth it so you don't have to change them again for…[Read more]
