Yep kp, it SCREAMS it!!!!! [lmao]

Hey, in all seriousness Kay, yeah there “dozens” that’s true, but I guess my point is quality. Now if you could tell me these dozens had “quality” plastered all over em’ well, why bother….I know you wouldn’t/couldn’t!!!! Ah rats…who gives a…..!!!!

Thanks for the tips Kay, but if you go to http://www.realestate.com.au and select “advanced search” you can actually narrow your search further by specifying the price (max) $100,000 and this (up to 5 mins ago) only resulted in about 7 pages (a better result than usual I must say, but not quite the millions hey???)and true, the first 3 as you said, being…[Read more]

Okay Kay, you’re on….name them!!!!

Guys, give me a break will you pleazzzzzz!!!! [rolleyesanim]

One heavy breeze from any direction, and there won’t be cashflow anything!!!! [glum2]

BTW Westan, I read somewhere that the population for…[Read more]

Fair enough, I shall consider myseld “tsked” [biggrin]

However……if oil prices rise, surely even you, wouldn’t be fool enough to ASSUME that produce prices will be less, after all, vehicles used to transport the produce from the growers to the supermarket (or for that matter ANY product requiring transportation from A to will escalate…[Read more]

They have??? [blink]

I believe the article said:

suburbs close to Sydney Markets had lower fruit and vegetable prices.

John,

As per the info I sent you, the street address of the property you are interested in is approx 1.8km from the nearest train station. Which IMO is not that far to walk, however it depends on the individual. It is a well located spot, perhaps not as good as some, but certainly worthwhile if you don’t mind walking <2km to get to the train,…[Read more]

Situation = same as your freedomfinder!!!
Prediction = crystal ball is in getting repaired!!!

I believe in dealing with the present as best I can, you know the adage “when given lemons, make lemonade” sort of mindset!!! Worrying causes ulcers, and premature aging; and my preference is for neither!!!

Jo [tongue]

I couldn’t have said it better myself Derek!!![thumbsupanim]

Well done (I hope you copied that post, for future reference) [biggrin]

Cheers,

Hi Narelle,

As has happened in the past, so it will be again now, when markets cool.

Serious investors will be busy cashing up, and re-investing their money into more lucrative ventures, whether it be property, shares or cash. But if we are strictly talking property, again, I have to stress, SERIOUS investors will know that it is time to either…[Read more]

Hi Wayne,

I think you should double check with the ATO, as although the 6 year exemption period may well restart, if you were claiming another PPOR during your absence, you will be liable for CGT apportioned for the time in which you were using it as an IP.

Cheers,

Jo

Gambini,

I don’t understand!!! You’re saying neg gearing is only if you’re chasing CG, but that that should be a “bonus” but if there was no such “bonus” (ie. CG) what other reason would one have to invest using this type of strategy??? [blink]

BTW Simon, excellent criteria!!!

Yes the beach!!!![shades] Can relate, and can’t wait for the warmer weather!!![sunny]

John, if you need any further info on South Blackburn PM me and I will gladly send you any information I have handy!!![biggrin]

Cheers,

Jo

Hey John,

Hope you don’t mind my “cutting in” on this dance, but for what it’s worth; South Blackburn is definitely worth investing into. Close to transport, only 16km from CBD and just an all round nice area (for starters)!!! [biggrin]

Cheers,

What is the difference between forum and chat room. What am I missing out on? [biggrin]
Come on in and find out!!! Love to see you there sometime for a chat!!![biggrin]

Hi Marisa,

If you are referring to Somersoft; yes that is correct, it is not user-friendly, but the chatroom is, and it is alot of fun; I’m in it ATM chatting away to a few regulars!!! As for the content of the forum in Somersoft, the quality of responses is far superior, but that is just my opinion; each to his/her own I guess!!!

Cheers,

Jo
