Hi Bridgette

I live about 65kms from Mangakino.

hi Craig

I started to but I’ve lost the receipts.

The trouble is there are no others who are property investors live near by to chat about things, so it was good talking to like minded people.

Anyway I’m thinking of spending my tax refund next year and taking a trip to Australia.

I’ve got Alice Springs, Stawell and a place north of Sydney eyed…[Read more]

Have been at golf all day so I am now catching up on the postings.

Hi TheENJOLady
Thanks for your offer of a glove. Westan was over here before the glove turned up at his place. However he did deliver the bottle of wine which now sits…[Read more]

The Poms eventually later in the tournament won’t know which way the ball will go because they are all too old and thus on the hard and fast Aussie grounds…[Read more]

Hi Amit

No not an old guy. This one lives in Taupo and was once a Baptist Minister.

Sorry it was so long, we sat still for a long time.

You had to be quick to write things down. He used a whiteboard and markers and kept rubbing it clean.

The $3500 fee seemed to be reasonable but I would need more info to consider it further. Anyway I haven’t…[Read more]
