Hi Brisbane 04,
I’m very sorry to hear about your situation as it becomes even more intense and distressing the longer it goes on. I wish you well. I had a bad experience a couple of years ago which held me back. In the end, I decided whether ‘right or wrong’ there is no point throwing good money (and time) after bad. In the end the solicitors are the only ones who always come out in a win-win result, regardless of the outcome. You don’t want to be left standing at the end of the day knowing you’re right legally, but financially you’re worse off. Whatever your decision good luck.
Kind regards,
Gatsby.Hi HR,
Both Rob and MMM raise the biggest pitfall re: your post. In my experience I was faced with the same problem. By separating the titles you also eliminate an even bigger problem. Pronounciating the term ‘cross collateralisation’!

Gatsby!If they really did offer a mortgage with your meal, what would be the best loan type though. Eat in or take away? With McDonald’s turn over your port folio could really super size in no time.

Gatsby!Anubis,
Many thanks for your reply.
Cheers,
Gatsby!Yeah but they don’t sell hamburgers, so personally I don’t see how it could work.
Gatsby.Rob,
All along, for years people were buying hamburgers at Maccas. Then I read Robert Kiyosaki who stated that McDonalds were ‘really in the business of owning real estate’. What you’ve said just confirms it.
Cheers,
Gatsby!What about when you’re a kid and your dad get’s to a stage in life where he just says “Screw it, I don’t care what people think of me anymore! I’m gonna wait for the kid doin the paper round in my jocks! I’m gonna walk around the house in a dressing gown that doesn’t quite close! I’m gonna make breakfast? Who wants sausage for breakfast?” When that sock starts dangling and you don’t care, you’ve got some serious questions you better start asking. You’re about to start worrying about your lawn! “I wonder how my lawn is? I better go out in my dressing gown and see how the lawn is”. Dad, what the f*#k is in your ear? Something very vital is in my dad’s ear. Could be my HECS money? When I was a kid, other kids would come up to me and say, ‘My dad can beat up your dad!’ I’d ask ‘when?’ He mows the lawn on Sundays?
Cheers,
Gatsby!Hi Hux,
I hope you’re feeling better mate. I was the one with you before the ambo’s arrived. Glad to hear you’re back in the land of the living. You were pretty crook mate. I didn’t know whether to do ‘lamars’ or get the paddles out. “CLEAR ‘BOOM'”. Mouth to mouth was out of the question!
Cheers,
Gatsby!Hi Mini,
For the spotters fee do you (or bird dogs in general) offer some kind of written report detailing info regarding validated current rental returns, vacancy periods, etc?
Cheers darl,
kind regards,
Gatsby.LifeX,
You’re so right. It’s like Aesops fable about the Golden Goose. There’s no logic in cutting off the head to kill the need (perceived?) for more eggs? So many people I know borrow money they don’t have, to buy things they don’t ‘NEED’, to impress people they DON’T LIKE!
Cheers,
Gatsby!Jess,
that’s such a simple yet great analogy you’ve posted. It just seems to make sense, as if it’s innate (the hunter instinct).
Cheers,
Gatsby.Just finished viewing the 20th anniversary of Scorceses’s ‘Raging Bull’ (1980-2000) and enjoyed the interview with the real Jake La Motta. De Niro in my opinion is probably the best method actor of our time since Brando. The weight gain leaves ‘Renee’ for dead.
Cheers,
Gatsby.
(PS. De Niro fought 8 amateur fights prior to the movie and drove NY cabs for 6 months prior to ‘Taxi Driver’ as well)Hi Yack,
I’m seeing him on Friday at work and will find out. I know he has sought legal action but unsure what he intends to do. Will find out and post.
Cheers,
Gatsby!Hi Shaun,
It’s just that when I read the wording (“You are protecting a lender by not mentioning their name”) it came across to me that one is ‘damned if you do or damned if you don’t?’ I apologize if I have misread your post but when I read Steve’s post I couldn’t see the rational conection in your address. Again, apologies if I have misinterpreted your post.
Cheers,
Gatsby!Also I like the saying ‘No just means you haven’t asked the right question.’ I find it quite true and practical in the job I do. Ali G, I think you are doing a great job mate. The fact you are studying and investing means you ARE there! You are living your dream. Once you pass the finish line ribbon also won’t mean you’ll stop. Like all passionate athlete’s you’ll always want to run.
Keep it real!
Cheers,
Gatsby!
PS. If there are any ‘unsuccessful’ mentors out there and would like to mentor me, feel free to pm me!Stuart,
how the hell can you criticise someone for not disclosing someone who they believe to be shonky and not in the best interests of forumites? Good professional ethics protects people, it doesn’t require advertising sharks?
Cheers,
Gatsby!I agree to all the above regarding women. Some people say I’m sexist but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Women are great, everyone should own one! Now if I could just find the receipt,…ergh, I mean the phone no. of my last girlfriend,….?
Cheers,
Gatsby!Hi Ali G,
You’re accomplishing more in your life than all of your critics combined! Congratulations. As to Sis’ post you may want to check Kiyosaki’s book ‘If You Want To Be Rich And Happy Don’t Go To School’. Keep studying though and keep investing. Then you’ll have the best of both educations. Ignore the good/bad intended critics. They all have their opinions and like arseholes, everybody’s got one.
Keep it Real,
Cheers,
Gatsby!Cheers Steve!,
I’m still trying to ‘push the elephant out of my mind, one rep at a time’.
Congratulations on the book launch mate!
Kind regards,
Gatsby.Agile,
At the end of the party he offered me a coffee and I took a look at his lack of opposable thumbs and declined on the coffee. I didn’t want to be awake any longer with this guy!
Cheers,
Gatsby!
