Too late for me though, it’s booked out. Sigh…

Hi Bonnie
There’s plenty of information in the rest of this site, so take a look around!
Also you can try http://www.financewraps.asn.au which is the industry association for wrappers.
And also http://www.rickotton.com – Rick is another Australian who teaches people about wrapping.

You shop at the wrong supermarket – Coles have BBQ chickens for $8 or less quite regularly.
As for lying – I think that’s an endemic feature of politicians nowadays, which is a great pity.
If you want to know if Labor leaders lie – go ask anybody who lives near the proposed Scoresby Freeway in Melbourne.

you’re welcome.
Although the Wraps Assn is set up as a body for people who provide vendor finance, the bulletin board is still a good place to put an ad if you’re trying to find someone to wrap a house to you.

I’m trying to book for Melbourne too and also getting web page unavailable and the email bounces.

I should add that I hadn’t actualy even considered sending my kids to a private primary school, I’d always thought that if I did send them to a private school it would only be for secondary, and then only if I really felt they would benefit from it and they wanted to go.
I went to a public primary school and was bored stupid and got into a lot of…[Read more]

I think that in the end, you pick the best school for your child, area and finances.
I looked at 15 primary schools for my son. This included public and private, religious and non religious. The reason for this zeal? A highly gifted little boy with a sensitive nature – yes, he has been tested, I’m not just a proud mum here! So the choice of…[Read more]

Hi hobnob
You might get a better response if you put this in the Getting Creative forum.
You could also try using the bulletin board at http://www.financewraps.asn.au
This is the Vendor Finance (Wraps) Association website.

I’d love to be earning $1million a year – or even $10million a year. I could do a lot more good in this world with that sort of money than I can with a basic wage.
Earning lots of money doesn’t necessarily mean that I will waste it all on a hedonistic lifestyle.

I don’t even worry so much about the house burning down – in the end rebuilding a house is a finite cost.
It’s the PUBLIC LIABILITY angle that’s absolutely essential to be covered. If someone trips on a step in your house and sues your backside off, you want to have insurance cover. Even if all they do is hand over the money, at least you don’t…[Read more]

What the heck are you insuring skippygirl? I’ve never paid $750 for a policy.
Mostly I find it works out around the cost of a standard building policy + a landlord’s insurance policy.

What a brilliant new innovation Monopoly – a floor you can’t walk on! Why didn’t I think of that!!!!

In the negatives for NAB I would also add – if you’re using a company/trust structure, they love taking out a mortgage debenture.

I think a seminar is high priced if you don’t make use of the information to further yourself and your financial future.
If you do, it’s worth every cent.

Whether or not it will be extended will probably depend on how many votes Labour is chasing when they do their state budget next year….. hehehe

Marketing certainly is part of the deal, but I have also found the call rate lower, even from marketing strategies that previously worked much better.
Not sure where you’re based Oscar, but in Melbourne (now that the boom is over and we’re back to a “normal” market) winter is traditionally a very slow time for real estate. I guess nobody wants to…[Read more]

In the end, if someone is willing to pay the price you’ve put on a house, that’s their choice. I don’t think it should be mandatory to reveal your purchase price if you choose not to.
HOWEVER… they should always be given the opportunity to make comparisons without any undue pressure and seek legal advice. And that’s where I think this wrapper…[Read more]

I agree with you Mini, there’s no way I’d manage my properties myself. What if you want to buy in a cashflow positive area that’s interstate? I agree it can be hard to find good ones, but the good ones are gold.
Plus I’d be a sucker for every hard luck story of why my tenants can’t pay the rent this week….! No thanks, let the professionals do…[Read more]

A couple of points (based on experience!)
If you want someone to leave money in the deal, then I would almost overwhelmingly suggest you need to pay a better price to do it. They’ve got to see that they’re gaining something too. Asking for a lower price and terms convenient to you is probably not going to work. But hey, you never know!
