” a blind man may see what a sighted man may not”

Hey Mista rephrase that!
What about retirees who are on benefits?

I know a few in this position, and the value of their property is such they now…[Read more]

I have learned that 24 hours can last indefinitely!

I learnt how to copy photos to a new program and straight to cd’s for my family. Been scanning old black and white (as the family historian) and have now organised it all, oh goodie, better save before the comp crashes.

I learnt that I can sleep past 6am
I am even learning to like NRL….oh did…[Read more]

Hi there, well this topic comes up a fair bit so maybe to get some more info do a bit of a topic search too.

I can say my bank used a valuer that also came in well below when I was purchasing in SE QLD, however I got the real estate to give me market values later on and they had risen considerably, I am taling 50k in less than 6 months.

Well if…[Read more]

I thought it had been quiet over the weekend though, or maybe I missed everyone.

you mean once they have run out of the bottom of the ladder incomes they may have to start to look at the top 10%? heheheh I doubt it.

I have some dockets from my parents business that dates back to 1970’s,. must have another look at what a loaf of bread cost, dad and I used to deliver it, wrapped in white papper, unsliced, best part was eating…[Read more]

Thanks!

I know they factor in vacancy rate, but what if you have none, at least for three years…doesnt let you do less than 1 week.

Cheers thanks!

Absolutely agree Steve. We were told GST would replace many hidden taxes as well but how many of you know the difference?

When I sold gifts in a store, ornaments were made out like salt and pepper shakers, this was then to avoid the added tax, in them days…it vaired according to what the product was and what it was to be used for. So if they…[Read more]

The tax man is always looking at ways to increase the coffers on the pretense (my opinion) of whatever is topical at the time, be this health transport or something else. Trouble is despite NSW having a huge population and we being I beleive a very highly taxed state, the systems they say need the extra funding have been crying out for years. I…[Read more]

interesting read, thanks for the info.

I know there appears to be panic for tenants, but lets face it there is panic for those investors now faced with this tax. Just because people are investors does not necessarily mean they are rich or can afford it either.

Wait til we see big mean baddie landlord raised the rents….they forget big mean…[Read more]

well some of you are so lucky to be able to access the internet at work, well maybe not you Chan!, come join my ranks…I gotta do it at home in my own time, still not a bad thing…

interesting isn’t it?

Years ago, when there was service in a “service station” when the price of petrol was somewhat lower and in gallons, $2 was considered the normal amount to spend. $5 was somewhat like serving the rich and get a truck where they spent $50!!! wow …..the queues for petrol miles long, even days, odd days…..where you washed…[Read more]

FOr the record I only own my own home in NSW so the stamp duty does not affect me. But I am still willing to have a go.

Pisces have you never heard the saying? the pen is mightier than the sword? I suggest individual responses are far better because each one is a potential voter. By all means JOIN a group, but dont lose your individiality either!…[Read more]

Its on the news now about the investors flocking to sell, esp mums and dads, says that up north are waiting for us!

It also mentioned NZ, but couldnt hear that too well from here

They reckon there is rental glut and this will keep us all fair if we hold and try to hike up the rents

Well Like someone posted re Penrith Council, I have fought blue mts with a land development and also on a business level, so I am apt to take action. I am also currently fighting with the federal govt over a work issue with a group of workers…even though we dont think we will win our battle we are a minority because the majority never do…[Read more]
