Hi flatout,

If you are taking a run to Geraldton this weekend…would love to hear what you think about it when you get back!

Hi Yasmina,

You say Titles aren’t important…….but I think Titles(pun) are extremely important as long as each and every “”Title”” is in my name!!

Ricksters12,

Any move I make in my self managed fund I get professional advice as the rules as so complicated and stringent.
My way of thinking, correct me if I am wrong, is that I wouldn’t want to lock up a PPOR into my super fund as I would not then be able to use all that equity for deposits on numerous investment properties.

My investment was a block of land on the lake front in Wanaka New Zealand and at the time the easiest/quickest way for me to settle(so I thought then) was using available funds in SF…paid $140K 3 years ago..just rec’d offer of $300K…one of my better investment decisions for gain…but … must admit now, I would dearly love to have that built up equity as deposits on more property but it is locked away in the fund (can’t borrow against it!!)

I am still happy with the investment choice but probably should have handled the financing better!! AAAahhhhhh…ya live and learn from every experience.

I have a self managed super fund and I have bought property in my fund….but…..a super fund can not borrow money so it must buy outright the property and be able to cover costs. In saying this you need to be looking at a good return to make it a worthy investment.

There are so many of us on this forum who started in a similar position as you but luckily after reading Steve’s book… realised that there is another way to investing. Starting over is scary. I can attest to that! but hang in there…you will be financially better off in the long run.
Hope it all goes well.

I believe that the Listing Agreements in WA have a clause which states the Selling Fee must be paid by the vendor to the agent even if the house is sold privately…and I believe it has some clause allowing for a period of time immediately following the end of the agreement to prevent a vendor just waiting till the day the agreement has run out then selling privately straight after the contract ends.

Hi Brisbane 04,

I gotta laugh!!! Even though I have lived here twenty sucks years…..I haven”t lost the accent and get pulled up almost every day!!!
We all know how many times we must relay our phone numbers to others so when I recently moved,
I requested new home phone number and mobile number without a “sex” in it!! …has lessened the continuous flow of Kiwi jokes that I have heard a million times over!!

Everyone has their own views and opinions and ways of looking at life………..so you are entitled to take it anyway you want…….”Anyone of us can do anything we like as long as we belive we can!!!!!”

Hi luckyinvestor,

Everyone is different and each to their own.

I’ve lived on Earls Court Rd in London with juggernaut trucks cruising past 24/7 (noise was horrendous) but at that time I was happy to rent there because it was close to everything..train station, shops..and it was straight across from the pub!!
I’ve also lived right on the beach in Sydney above a main drag…once again the traffic was horrendous (you get used to it) but the location was superb.

When you think of the millions of properties on busy roads that are all occupied and when they go on the market they always get sold.. you realise that there is someone out there for every property….just depends on personal preference and circumstances!

What about….

Bob’s your uncle!….well, he is not mine.

Camp as a row of tents!…who said tents were gay.

She’s Jake!…..is she sleeping in the tents.

Knuckle sandwich!…..I prefer chicken & salad.

Do your block!…..I’d rather subdivide.
