A very admirable quote my friend!
its funny that sometimes no matter how obvious some ideas seem to some people, other people find out and think ” duh! why didnt i think of that!!)

Keep up the handy tips.

Can people stop whinging about other people?
we are mature adults around here so stop complaining people! There will be nothing to complain about until an interstate team wins the grand inal again ( or collingwood or essendon…. bad year all round!)

I must say that as a frustrated musician that thinks that radio in general sucks, i have being blessed by not hearing it every 30mins! I have heard it once in a record store ( ithought i would check ot all the fuss) and am quite glad that i havent heard it again! touch wood!

Thanks to terry and mr bond!

Another thing that i failed to mention is that with luck i should have 6-7k to use as a deposit for the loan, but im not sure how much easier this will make getting the loan. I am also looking at investing in nz, what are the hances of getting a nodoc loan thru a nz bank using my aus home as an asset?

Charlie,

Following rodc’s advice(thanks mate!) i got on the internet and looked up a town in nz. most city councils around the civilised world ( obviously excluding the savage isles such as tasmania etc etc etc []) have there own websites that have bountiful amounts of information. gotta love the internet!

Steve’s method wont work for everyone because of differences in…[Read more]

Aaronn,

Great idea! whats the website for the defence housing? would that be under the army website, or would you have to call somewhere to get a hold of the responsible authority?

Hey richo,

At the risk of sounding hopeless, do you recomend any sites other than realestate.com.au for the purchase of +ve geared rental properties?

Hey aaron,
i dont know, i said the place was going to be a ghost town in 15 years if things dont pick up, am i 15 years topo optomistic?[] You never know, the ABC could make another tv series circa SEACHANGE based in cobar and turn it into a holiday vila like barwon heads…….but then again maybe not!!!![][}][]

I reckon that if your buying anything and you can get it cheaper than the rrp or market value by negotiating a lower first bid then kudos to you! you would get more cg by buying a house for 5k under valuation price then selling it 5 years on for 30k more! i dont know if thats too basic to work ( although it is hopefully in the process of working…[Read more]
