Hi Leigh

… Is land tax payable or calculated on a PPOR + IPs or just on IPs? NO

NSW
Landtax threadhold for PPOR: $1,680K
Landtax threadhold for IPs : $261K

There are different rules for each state so better to check it out.

Hi All,

I went to a Lady Club meeting this morning. There, we had 1 minute silence at 11 am – It’s Remembrance Day – and I thought of Bill and his 2004 project. He wrote in another thread that : “I am doing a fund raising Motor Bike Ride in 2004 from Hanoi to Binh Ba… a Battle ground ..June 6th 1969 – the trip. 2,500 km in total. Need a com…[Read more]

Nope! but it’s close … and interesting to read. I just love babies and can’t let them cry more than a minute. All my children used to go to bed the same time with me when they were young, around 11 pm. I had to sneek out after they fell asleep. Now my grandkids can’t sleep when they come to our house.

Thanks Arty, now I have to find someone who can read the instruction and do it for me. I know lots about Mainframe computers but not PCs & know how to replace tiles but not video cards. Do you want to volunteer? I will cook for you, Pinky, your kids, dog, cat & rat.

Cheers

Hi All,

$Futures already has 1 IP. He just builds up his wealth when he can find another good one. By planning well & safe he can have great time with his children at the same time with investing. There are many good ideas from Peter, Sunshine, Westen … that I also learn from & appreciate.

I just picked that number 15 from a pine tree! I love t…[Read more]

Sorry

I’ve got teased so I tease back. Those numbers mean nothing. I believe the older we are the wiser we become. I’m really a grandma but I often feel as young as my youngest child/grandchild. []

In relation to what Bill observed in Cowra, 2 months ago agents claimed a 0.5% vacancy rate in Canberra. The last issue of API claims over 3% rate. I…[Read more]

Hi Phil,

You wrote that Bill was 16 years older than you and 34 years ago you were 7. That makes you 41 this year and Bill 57 or 58 in VN (older than he claims he is ƒº). I didn¡¦t know he is that OLD. wow wow wow.

Bill claims that I¡¦m 63 that makes me 22 years older than you. It¡¦s not a bad estimate. Big brother must be wiser than you .…[Read more]

Hi Arty,

Can you show me how to convert the monitor into a fish tank. I have 2 monitors at home just sitting there doing nothing while the screen of my laptop has thousand lines flashing cross. Can I hook the laptop to a monitor to make it useful?

Thousands of thanks.

Huey

Hi All,

Instead of installing new bathrooms & kitchen I put a compressed granite layer on top of the existing benches (Granite Transformations). I painted on top of laminate doors & tiles using Knight White undercoat & paint. I regrouted between tiles & painted the walls in light tinted white paint with 1 feature wall in a different colour in…[Read more]

Hi Glenn

Option 1: Too risky & possibly not enough money/equity to buy a place in Sydney. You are about to start a permanent job (congratulations) & I assume you will work fulltime. If you buy a country property far away from home you won’t have time to renovate.

Option 2 : It’s OK. You can have a go at renovating your parents’ house. It will…[Read more]

I don’t think the Government will abolish the $7K FHOG. Instead they will reintroduce the $14K FHOG or another form of assistance to the 1st home buyers. This will prevent the building industry from collapsing. Costello is well planned. He knows how to prevent a recession. Of course it will be a different story if Labor wins the next election.…[Read more]

If we all send in a photo taken in 1969 we can see lots of EGGS. [][][]

Hi Bill,

It’s bad to wish something like that. [] Of course you are old. May be a bit younger than grandma Huey.[] Am I right Phil? [^]

I used to think Steve was a very very old man because of the way he wrote. I was shocked to see him on TV.

Huey

Great tips Mimi. Thanks.

My hat off to Paul. How could you do that massive renovation with only $23K? How many days (ave. 8 hr/day) did it take you to complete it? Did you use any trademan at all? If I have to do the same it would cost me close to $100K. []

Glenn, be careful, especially you use your parent’s equity to invest. You have to sell…[Read more]

Hi Bill,

I often help people directly to make sure they get it and get 100%. I’m not good in organising things.

Can you arrange for donations to be tax-deductible ? It’s easier to raise money. Get school kids to sponsor is a good idea. You can also approach VN religion groups in each city to help out. This forum can sponsor you as well. We are…[Read more]

I just saw an ad for an apartment identical to the one I sold recently, in the same building, at the same position, 2 floor up. The asking price is $180K more than what I sold for. []

So I don’t have to see the second movie. []

Hi Sooshie,

That’s is an old custom from SouthEast Asia, countries like China, Vietnam. My mother was restricted for a month. The carers put a coal fire tray under her bed. They shut all windows & curtains. She got cleaned up with wet towels. She was restricted in what to eat/drink as well. They believed in doing so my mother would keep her s…[Read more]
