Maybe your dad can finance the car, tax write off for the business, and you can just use it as the company car
Otherwise scooters look cool and you can get one that tows a little trailer with the company logo and website. Much cheaper and better publicity than your run of the mill common car.
housemouse replied to the topic Telstra vs ACN in the forum Opinionated! 19 years, 12 months ago
After briefly scanning the comments made I will add my 2 cents worth. Details can be found http://www.acnaustralia.com.au compare for yourself. You will find line rental same as Telstra but cheaper call rates, free acn2acn and no penalty for paying by credit card makes it a great deal.
Maybe does take a special person to sell to friends and family but…[Read more]

housemouse replied to the topic Sub-divisions in the forum Value Adding 20 years, 2 months ago
My advice is when looking at these types of property always submit offers subject to subdivision being approved. You can then submit your plans to council before you have made the purchase. Just because an areas is zoned 40 etc does not mean the council will automatically grant approval, most cases yes but always be cautious.
I would say allow…[Read more]
housemouse replied to the topic any experienced mentors out there? in the forum Help Needed! 20 years, 2 months ago
Definitely no expert but my suggestion would be: pay only what you need to service the debt save the rest for stamp duty and associated costs with purchasing a property. Whist not the ideal situation, speak to a broker about non conforming lenders, pepper, blue stone, liberty, their rates are by far a lot higher than average but it is an…[Read more]

Hey Aussie Kid
Great to hear about your success. I was a little older, 21 when I bought my first place I saved 12k in just under a year. I haven’t lived at home since 17 so I am wondering did you save this while living at home or not?? I have a lot of friends that have bought places by living at home and not having to worry about any bills so t…[Read more]
housemouse replied to the topic Who Manages Their Own Properties? in the forum Help Needed! 20 years, 3 months ago
I only have 1 property and I manage it myself, after the trouhle my mum had with her pm I thought it would be easier to do it myself. A family member is in there now but when I had it tennanted I never had a single call from my tennant, I inspected every 3 months and no problems with rent payments. I couldn’t see a reason for not doing it.
housemouse replied to the topic Save save save ! in the forum Help Needed! 20 years, 3 months ago
I worked up north to save for my first property thinking of doing it again for the second but for now I am sticking with the little things. As others have mentioned ING saver is a dream 5.25% and no keycard to tempt you. I used to buy easily 6 – 7 mags a month now I borrow them from friends or read stuff online. Coffee and a muffin each day $6.00…[Read more]
housemouse replied to the topic apprentice shortages in the forum Opinionated! 20 years, 3 months ago
I would love to do some type building apprenticeship however with 1 mortgage and a second about to be signed it really isn’t viable. I know in WA with the vast resources industry people entering manual trades are more likely to opt for appernticeships that can take them up north etc where double, even triple perth money can be made.

hi waynel2
I have noticed the same thing, I am looking Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour. There have been a few but mainly corners still around 900sqm so not too bad. Unlike some near success 440sqm for duplex block, single story restriction. I thought they were joking. You could buy the block next door 600sqm and 20k less but only 1 dwelling. Still…[Read more]
