So… a guest is invited into a house, for fear of persecution, and then offered a prize place at the table.

What’s that saying, hold your friends close, but your enemies closer??? The guest understood why she was asked to take a prized place at the “moderator” table, and even then, knowing what she did, tried to keep a level of civility about…[Read more]

LoL Mini, Steves reply doesnt need to be “detailed” to clarify the point that Monoply and queitly many others are seeking an answer for. Steve could clear the issue up once and for all.

Steve yr next reply actually seeks to sidestep the question again and target Monopoly, thats my opinion anyway.

This is a common…[Read more]

I totally agree RodC,

Although, as a non-McKnight follower, I am labelled as “hositle” and my posts “abusive” yet the backlash or feverent replies are deemed acceptable, and more often than not, are permitted to remain.

In the words of one follower,

Joy to the World!! [biggrin]

Steve,

Your point has been made, now here is my short answer to your post accordingly.

If you are only receptive to those who are agreeable to your theories, you will face much disappointment in life’s journey, as criticism on both sides of the fence helps us to learn and develop.

If you are tired of my posts, you as the site administrator have…[Read more]

Opinions in the opinionated forum please.

Mini,

1. I have heard Steve speak publicly, but this was prior to my joining PI, so I daresay he hasn’t changed his direction since, which btw is neither here nor there for me.

2. I did not start this thread, I only responded to it, and asking a question based on someone’s comment is no a crime, well not since last time I looked.

3. I have a…[Read more]

Now there’s a breakdown I’d be more than happy to see; maybe Steve will shed some light on this one for us all Geo???

Hey Residentialwealth,

I haven’t read the book, but I do agree that there is an 80/20 balance happening here (from my understanding of it’s theory).[biggrin]

I don’t recall RPData being free guys. Our subscriptions are in excess of 12k a year. The stuff they put on for free is of little use to serious investors. Josie my dear, I fear you have little to no idea of what you are talking about.

Yorker, I will accept your criticism upon the ignorance to which it is based; no…[Read more]

Hi Andrew,

http://www.reports.rpdata.com.au DOES now include Victoria, for both it’s free and paid reports. The “free” information is somewhat less detailed than it once was, and understandably, has never included sales figures for obvious reasons.

TerryW,

All of these factors (above) and as per the ATO information is correct, I am not disputing this at all. What I am saying, plain and simply, is that these criteria can (and do) apply to those RENTING. That is if you live in a PPOR and want to be CGT exempt upon sale of same (within the 6 year exemption period) YOU MUST NOT HAVE PURCHASED…[Read more]

Hardly Ali, but thanks for the vote!!! [blush2]

I tend to get a bit miffed by sweeping generalisations that are loosely thrown around with little or no supporting evidence to back them up, and which sadly appears to be the norm within this community, hence why Somersoft is the better option for highly opinionated characters such as…[Read more]

The Melbourne market in general is declining. The economic forecast for Victoria over the next 10 years is not good. Whether you spend $175 or $375 on a unit or house in Melbourne the question is will it be worth much more over time.

I beg to differ, yes perhaps in defence of MY home state!!!

I am by no means…[Read more]

Correct…However, ALL of these things can be (and are) applicable if you are RENTING as well. I believe you have overlooked the OWNERSHIP…[Read more]

Hey Mini,

24 hour/7 days on call (voluntary) call outs to a woman’s refuge to deal with traumatised victims of domestic violence, PLUS you’ll be pleased to know I am (to my husband’s disgust) vigilant about recycling. All of that spells caring to me, wouldn’t you say???

So how about cutting me some slack???!!! No one is accusing anyone (least…[Read more]

That’s because there isn’t one!!! [glum2]

Sorry, but if I could’ve got out of it as simply as that, trust me, I would have!!! Like all investors, you will just have to [grin] and bear it, as painful as it is; of course make sure you do everything you can to try and reduce the amount of CGT, but ultimately, big or small….you will have to cough up!!!

Hi Del,

<edited>

I have no gripe with Mr McKnight, quite the opposite, HOWEVER, criticism is not to be feared but welcomed especially if there is nothing to hide. And I know for fact, that whenever I have questioned Steve, he has answered me, honestly and without the hostility <edited>!!! That to me, is the markings of true…[Read more]

Stevie Wonder is right!!!

I am blown away!!! News has it that Steve is telling people at his book launches that he lives on a meagre $400 per month!!! My goodness, royalties can’t be that bad??? [glum2]

Come on, you can’t be serious Steve…2 adults, one small baby, having to buy food, petrol, pay bills, and milk money alone would cost more…[Read more]

From my understanding FlyHigh, at tax time you are required to put in 2 separate returns, one for your OZ related income, and one for your NZ related ones. Without being a tax expert, I’d say that probably seems the most logical (and legitimate) way of doing things.

Cheers, [biggrin]

Jo

More champers ladies???? Come on, drink up!!!! [biggrin]

I love it; thanks for that Nev311, you’ve made my day!!! [kiss]

Cheers, [upsidedown]
