Didn't Steve just announce he will take 30 people on tour of the States next year, not real sure but I think he said all expenses paid (flights, accommodation, meals etc) $10,000  … sounds great! Now I just have to sell a kidney.

I'd like to know what books Steve McKnight would recommend.

And now we wait a month or 2 for the banks to move hahaha

Thank you Terryw,                                That explains the government rebate but not the credits received from your energy supplier for your power savings.                                 Any ideas there?

The building is 20years or more old. I was considering buying a unit and the agent told me that the Body Corp isn't sorted yet. My knowledge on the subject is zilch. Are Body Corp's similar to how Insurance companies run as far as they have money in their coffers already?Maybe I should go Google it.

I think if you want to start with reno's then your on the right track to seek more knowledge in that area,  while your doing your trade you can still be saving for that 1st deposit & gaining knowledge through reno workshops, books etc. Basic reno's would be the way to start, no good biting off more then you can chew. I wish I was as smart as you w…[Read more]
