I thought I would look up the area where I am renting here in sunny Carlton and found that we are paying more per year in rent than it is even worth! Is this a 100% yield? [lmao]

You’re welcome Greg (I think????)[worried]

I totally agree with Kay on that one Aussie, and maybe we should all follow her lead, and when we come across insulting posts in a thread, we should all (as she does) ignore them!!!

MartinW,

[snooze][sleep2][sleepyanim]

[lmao] Bravo MartinW, and you did it without having to consult your faithful dictionary!!!!

WHO walked into what??????????[lmao][lmao][lmao]

FYI MartinW, I did not edit your post!!!

MartinW,

Just a brief question if I may (of which you may well consider sarcastic in nature, nonetheless if I may proceed….) Do you always hide behind your dictionary definitions to justify your behaviour?

As for your approach, you’re correct, I don’t like it, and my suppostions of your intellect and purposes are merely the endorsements of…[Read more]

[specool] Black Jack, but I would’ve agreed and then stolen the kiss anyways!!!! [laugh4] (Nah, just kidding)

Ahhhhh the things we do as parents!!!! Which leads to me one final story I’d like to share and that’ll be it from me……

Took my son to his first (and my last) football game when he was 9. All was going well, mum standing back…[Read more]

MartinW,

Your observations are commendable, as is your ability to insult. You obviously enjoy focussing on others shortcomings as a means of deflectling from those of your own.

True there was sarcasm in both my comments, and I make no apologies to you or anyone else for that; but in this case, I feel that sarcasm is far more appropriate than…[Read more]

Hmmmmm don’t know about that; I think my fellow gastapoes will agree with me when I say “Vee have vays!!!!!” [laugh4][laugh4][laugh4]

And judging from that comment MartinW, I see a well-mannered one at that (NOT)!!! [wacko]

Thanks Wayne,

Gotch ya!!! [winking]

Clear as crystal now….and may I say, IMO a brilliant plan!!![specool]

All the best with it; keep us posted, I personally will be glad to hear of your progress.

MartinW,

Such insight!!! Are you speaking from a professional/trained perspective or is this something that you read in a book, and if so, whose theory are you referring????

The reason for my question is based on my past familiarity with your previous posts in this forum. Are you not that infamous “Jemnman” advocate and anti-Steve Mcknight…[Read more]

Hi Pumpkin,

Okay here’s an example:

Property cost: 239000
Stamp Duty: 10000 (in Victoria)
Legals (approx) 2000
Total Cost Base: 251000
Capital Improvements
(ie new kitchen/bathroom
etc etc) 30000

So far, the property has cost you 251K + 30K = 281K, then you sell it for 381K (profit of 100K) HOWEVER you deduct…[Read more]

Oh a “braggers corner” [specool]

Just had offer accepted on Saturday for IP #4 which will settle in August. But I have mixed emotions about it at the same time; why????…..Even though I own my PPOR and all 4 IPs outright I will have to BORROW if I want to buy IP #5. [glum2]

I know what you’re thinking….would you like some cheese with your…[Read more]

Okay, help me fill in a few gaps here….so Wayne, what you are saying is, you will refinance in 2-3 years against (by then) 2 IPs to buy IP #3, yes????? And then, do you plan to keep or sell #3 to pay for #1 & 2????????

I’m sorry if I sound a bit daft, just trying to get a clear mental picture, on what I think sounds like a great…[Read more]
