And what is wrong with Carlton? They performed magnificently on the weekend. Just because they won’t play like that again for another 5 games DOESN’T mean a thing [guilty].

At least we didn’t resort to choke holds and fighting when we were losing. [medieval]

All in the name of fun right?

“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”

Melbear, I refinanced in January, from IO to P&I. I was not happy with the way things were going. I am not naturally “thrifty.” I saw that to actually make progress, I needed to make the loan P&I as I wouldn’t have to worry about making sure there was enough in the account to pay on the set date.

Now it gets paid every fortnight, the same that I…[Read more]

Yeah me too. Even cleaned up the overgrown yard. Mind you I don’t think I did the carpet any favours – my washing machine overflowed while I was not at home – twice!

Just some more info for you Derek.

The IP was previously my PPOR – that’s why I bought it [blush2]

It was bought in 1998, turned IP in January 2003, so no worries about CGT there. What would b the CGT at this time if I sold?

I followed your advice and just put all the details into ez-rent. The result is worse – $700 per year the unit is costing…[Read more]

From what I have read of SOME OF your posts, I am inclined to agree with the moderators. After reading SOME posts, I have thought “damn, what is your problem.”

I do agree that the moderators need to be impartial. As you have said you have received PMs so we are not aware of those ( thankfully ), so we do NOT know the full story.

Anyway those…[Read more]

Wez, this has been discussed before. Steve himself made a post saying due to various reasons ( licence to do so, site purpose etc ) there was to be no direct discussion about shares.

There is a post somewhere about it for more clarification

Cheers

Why not teach your Mum about real estate at the same time? Maybe you could convince her to become a property guru too?

I did one year of Uni – that was 9 years ago, straight out of secondary school. I regret two things – 1 – obviously not finishing what I started, and 2 – not taking a year off in between finishing secondary school and starting…[Read more]

Hi there atomic. If you do a search of topics from the last couple of days, these has been a thread started dealing exactly with this subject.

BTW – do you read a certain magazine regarding maximum power computing?

Cheers

SPACE by James A. Michener

The book has been very good, although at times a little hard going with all the technical details involved in putting man into space and beyond [blink]

What about yourself?

On the other side of Mortgage Huinter’s argument, those of us who were / are unable to “get” it must be pretty smart then huh? [biggrin]

“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”

Guess we’re all done then

Anyone got any more?

“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”

Well done almost all are answered. As far as I can tell, only 5 & 13 remain.

5 – 66 B of the B
13 – 32 is the T in D F at which W F

If somebody has already answered these, sorry I missed them.

“Looking forward to the day when I can tell the boss where to go”

This may sound like a ridiculous idea, but why not just send the actual, physical cash? Use a “sorry to hear you are sick” card or similar, someone would not expect to find money in a card like that. I am thinking nefariously here.

Does a money order, through the post office for $2.50 ( I think ) sent from Oz to the US work?

Hope this…[Read more]

Out of about 15 goes, I have got 7-8 correct, including my first, and run of 4 in a row when I though I had it. I still have NFI, getting very confused.

georgisj, your last statement answers your own question. The banks do not have any influence over a valuation ( they shouldn’t anyway ). But obviously, the valuation will have an influence on the LVR.

Hi there, ambskunk ( love the name ). I am also overseas ( Maylaysia ) until September, and I also deal with ME. After lookng at, but missing out, on buying another IP, I asked ME what the procedures etc were for taking taking out equity etc.

The only snag I found, was that ME required all paperwork to be original signed copies. If I was in a…[Read more]
