Ahh Giraffe I am the ultimate optimist and living with adversity has enabled me to learn that all situations are opportunities, not only the ones you pay for.

I believe that when the time came to make a decision (my health or my wealth) that I made the right one for me.

Well done for making money from the trip and well done to everyone that did…[Read more]

G’day all

Gramyre, I’m so sorry you missed out on the last last trip. Have you signed up this time to regain the lost opportunity? I am interested in your comment about the communication beforehand. It just added to the ‘Adventure’ for me. We were given the essentials such as where and when and the rest was left…[Read more]

I was there for nearly a month (work and play) and put everything on the credit card after realising that converting cash is almost a 1:1 proposition after fees etc. Least with the credit card you get the conversion with only a small fee and the credit card is accepted everywhere just about. Convert a couple of hundred for cups of coffee and…[Read more]

Try Freedom Air http://www.freedomair.com as they fly into/out of Hamilton.

I was signed up for the first one but had to pull out due to ill health. I did think that up until the time I pulled out the lack of communication with other participants and the organisors was rather off putting (like it was a huge secret). Good to see this group able…[Read more]

Ahh us parents are funny beasts aren’t we? Tied up in our own affairs, stressing over money and jobs and keeping the bills paid and sometimes losing sight of the really important things in life like the triumphs of our kids.

I have a 15 year old son who swings between wanting to be a man and be on his own and being childlike in his desire for…[Read more]

Welcome iiwanak73

Some net friends of mine would have a chuckle seeing me post here after (about 6 months ago) I was researching PNG on the web. They were concerned about the political instability of PNG as well as the economy being rather immature.

From what I saw there was the city rental markets for foreign company executives and workers but…[Read more]

Heh I was right! I typed out the following reply but did not post it because I felt it wrong to speak for Mini

“Mini has been saying she would buy anywhere if the deal was good enough. Even in Tokoroa, even now”

Then I went on to say that in my opinion people really are hung up on one part of Position, Position, Position and that is the town…[Read more]

I was looking at a 2 br place that has a garage under the same roof. Is the benefit of converting the garage to a bedroom better than losing a garage to a carport?

I was thinking it would be big enough to put an ensuite in as well but that would depend on value created. I don’t want to over capitalise.

Anyone done this sort of reno and can…[Read more]

Prison guards have to live somewhere…and look at the proximity of the housing estates to the Parklea gaol in Sydney …nothing but growth in that area.

Is it a problem? Are you fixing it for someone?

Minimogul I understand the “obsession” comment totally!

People who have read my blog will know that I am driven to make my IP journey head in the right direction, and that my partner is happy to sit back and let me do it all.

It is most disappointing because I know when I paint him the pictures in words of where we can be he gets it, but the…[Read more]

Maybe it leverages punctuation and paragraphing in some way?

Details details!

I loved Wanganui city and could see masses of potential to develop further touristy things like restaurants by the river (why is there a fruit/vege warehouse hogging all that riverbank? Given the money their little patch would be something else all together). The residential wasn’t too bad either. We avoided the gang area (over the river and…[Read more]

Back from the dead (the thread not me).

Returned today from NZ and spent some time in Rotorua. I think after smelling the place I would contemplate calling a BackPackers The Dutch Oven or similiar [winking]

We spent every night but 1 in a backpackers (and the 1 night was in a dive of a hotel room in Rotorua). I would recommend getting into the…[Read more]

Good Stuff Ozi

I’ve been here for a week working and now have 2 weeks to have a look about for properties myself.
I’ll be concentrating on Rotorua and Wanganui (and surrounds) as I narrowed my research to those areas. I’ve been quite ill so I am also trying to take a rest and have a holiday too while I am here.

Anything you would like to add on…[Read more]

Was thinking the same thing MoJoJo. For a nice piece of factual writing these things do need to be defined. Comparing appples with oranges and saying they are all bananas will not earn any brownie points when those that seek logical argument come along.

There are plenty of scare mongers out there that use this tactic (not to mention tabloid…[Read more]

Think we need to get a moderator to move this one down to the NZ forum.

Can’t tell you where is the best place as that is subjective and depends a lot on your financial situation.

Can suggest this page for an eclectic range of links
