SIS, I’m not sure what scholarships I’m looking at setting up. I keep seeing ‘lack of teachers’, ‘lack of GPs’, HECS too expensive etc. and think that maybe I could do something about that.

Then I see the homeless kids and think that maybe I could get some of them off the street, on the condition that they’re willing to put in the effort to…[Read more]

Yack, I reckon you as the sales agents would miss out on a lot of quick sales if you took that attitude.

I don’t think I have ever made a 10% deposit on exchange of contractsd – the highest has been 5%, but my aim now is to get contracts exchanged on a max of $1000. I’m about to complete an exchange where I have instructed that a deposit of…[Read more]

I’m on broadband, and I’ve tried again this morning, with same result.

Chan, I thought you were lending your video to PG?

If i was in sydney I’d borrow it, but I’m not, so I guess i’ll survive having missed the show!

Elysium, all contracts in Canberra are drawn up by the solicitors. The agents merely send out a ‘sales instruction’ to the vendor’s solicitor, and things go from there.

Well that’s not fair. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, and haven’t had a speeding fine in the last year, but I’m only going to live to 89.

I think answering that I’m unhappy might have had something to do with it[]

Hey SIS, does being ‘terminated’ because I have ‘abandoned’ my employemnt count as retiring? If so, I might be there in a couple of…[Read more]

This is all a double edged sword, if the house does not increase in price, which is likely to be the case as the vendor is desperate to sell if he offers finance

Not always true as I think Leigh’s story attests. There are many reasons for vendors being desperate to sell – how about their marriage is falling…[Read more]

Malachii, I know a guy who works for Qantas also. He mentions that the Qantas staff refer to Jetstar as ‘Porn Star’, and that the expectation is that Jet Star will in fact become the ‘domestic’ airline, and Qantas will be an ‘international’ only carrier. He says many of his co workers expect to be out of jobs because of this change…..

Hi slaurie, are you still a bankrupt, or are you now a discharged bankrupt?

If you haven’t got a 20% deposit to put in, you might have to find somebody who will be your ‘financial’ partner. ie, you find the deals, have the 10% or whatever deposit, and the loan goes in their name. There are several ways to structure this, but I would certainly…[Read more]

Why don’t you ask them what’s in it for you?

Whose name will the title be in? Maybe you should say that if you take the loan out, you want 50% of any growth. You might be able to get all the tax benefits too.

Before you do anything i suggest you contact a solicitor and accountant to work out the impact on all parties.

So Montrose, who do you think you’ll get the info from if not Mortgage Brokers? Borrowers can discuss finance options etc., but we have nowhere near the knowledge of products that these guys have.

And once again, does not ‘trolling for leads’ imply that they ‘chase’ the people. When they say ‘contact me’ there’s nothing pointing a gun at your…[Read more]

Ah, Kay, ignore my welcome back on the other posts. I thought you were home, but obviously not.

Nope, I’m not going to get any of the $55K back. In fact, I still owe about $10K which they have STILL been taking from my credit card even though the company is dead. I’ve cancelled the card, and told them not to take any more money, but they…[Read more]

Hey guys, any hints as to why I can’t view the video?

It loads up the page, and says connecting forever, and never goes any further. Even if I kill it, the window stays open.

Thanks Redwing. I guess I love learning, and so take a lot more in than some people who want ‘instant’ results/riches from the seminars etc.

I’m down probably $10K from the courses, but as I said, I’ve made 80 times that by implementing my ‘learning’ so I can’t complain too much. I also could never see the benefit in buying the ‘discounted’…[Read more]

Welcome to the forums Eaglehawk.

I’m afraid I cannot help you regarding your question, and I have not even seen the name mentioned in these forums before. that’s not to say it hasn’t, so try a search.

Hopefully somebody else will be able to answer you with their experience though.

Cheers
Mel

1154 Yay for me. Not as good as Young Investor, but my best out of about 40 attempts!! []

Yes Kay, welcome back. Hope you had a good time in Austria. You missed some heat waves here, so you picked a good time to go – unless you hate the cold and love the heat?

Cheers
Mel

I was thinking about the overthrow issues, but couldn’t get a 6 – didn’t think of the ‘short run’.

Well done Dave. Now, can you solve Aussies riddle. He’s run away without answering the questions.

Cheers
Mel

Hey SIS, no, not disappearing, just had a book to read, and some filing to do. Now I’m procrastinating about the filing again []

Aussie, where’s the answers to our questions?

Cheers
Mel

Thanks Guys. Yep, 29! Almost turning OLD![] Nope, no properties for my birthday, but a digital camera and all the cool stuff that goes with it so that I can take photos of my properties!!

Not sure when I’m coming to sydney next PG – when are you guys meeting up next?

Cheers
Mel

I can remember No. 13 when I was in year 6. How embarassment!
