Calling Matt P.

Hi Matt. I just looked at your profile.
A greeneyed, 6ft 1 inch monster of a fellow, only seventeen AND married ?

Married ? Seventeen ?

Cheers,

Markpatrick, to try to defend the indefensible is not too smart a choice.

One of the main reasons these people moved to Perth was because the house prices there were so much lower.

That together with the fact that they had a largish family must make it clear to every thinking person that they were hardly in a position to treat $ 10 K in a cavalier manner.

As this occurred some seven or eight years ago, $ 10 K then would, in today’s terms, represent even a lot more than just that amount.

BTW, you really should read my post a bit more careful so you don’t confuse my gender.

I am actually quite surprised to hear that a sensitive person like yourself is involved in such a barbaric ‘sport’ like boxing.

Boxing is a very dangerous pastime as every time one gets hit in the head thousands of braincells are permanently damaged.

I note with amazement your statement “I don`t think someone having money is of any benefit to there kids for a start.”

As a parent one has responsibility to provide for one’s children the best way one can.

Unfortunately money is essential for that to a great extent.

I remember when I was a boy scout (cub) there were two boys my age in my group. They lived around the corner from me.

In winter time only one would attend a meeting as they had only one winter coat between them.

That my friend was caused by their parents having the outlook that it was alright to have eleven children when they perhaps only could comfortably afford two or three children.

That in my eyes is a crime as having more children than one can afford to look after properly meant that all of them went without the necessary.

So in our society money IS important as is the responsible management of it.

Making statements like “money isn’t important” is foolish.

>>If you dont let him landlord your property, he will not sell the property to you at all.<<

I find this hard to believe S.I.S. that is just pressure talk, bulldust.

>>Remember he sells blocks of units (1 title x 4 units). So infact he is getting $40 for this such
deal.<<

Managing a property for $ 10 a pop is hardly worth the trouble no matter how many properties one manages.
Especially considering that he guarantees to pay for the maintenance as well.

I fear this is going to be a very short term affair.

>>Continued next post<<

Yes, by all means, keep us in suspense S.I.S., it sounds like a Hitchcock movie.

>>There’s also a mortgage broker in the bus as well. So you can get a loan while your are in the bus <<

That’s what is called a mobile mortgage broker.

And the passengers are called ‘a captive audience’.

BTW Chan, what does NTTT stand for ?

Stating one’s point of view isn’t identical to having a discussion about the merits of the respective arguments.

I have provided my reasons stating that it may pay for someone, who is about to be sold up, to consider an offer as the alternative may be a lot worse.

From what I can see, you have merely provided your outlook which is tied in with some emotional aspect of feeling sorry for someone.

I too feel sorry for someone who for whatever reason finds him/her self in trouble.

(I have been there myself so I, more than most people, know what it is like).

Often (not always) the problem lies inside the person so even throwing handfulls of moneys at that person will not lift him/her out of that state of mind (and will therefore not solve their problem longterm wise).

Again, I know. I have given property away (which was producing income nearly equal to average wages) thinking that that would solve that person’s problems.
–
It didn’t.

So feeling sorry is one thing, leaving one’s senses at home when involved in a business transaction is something else.

BTW, I can assure you that my response to you has been very mild. (as has been yours so I notice [:X]

>>I guess it’s a matter of doing unto others…<<

Give us some examples, Kay, where you have done a good deed as otherwise we may jump to the conclusion you are all talk and fluff rather than substance.

For example, some years ago I bought a small development site and agreed to sell the vendor one of the villas on completion at a discount to the market price (whatever the market value may be at the time).

The time of completion arrived but by that time, God being on the side of the Righteous, prices had exploded and the vendor was no longer in a position to be able to purchase a property from me.

I gave her, in today’s terms, the equivalent of some
$ 80 K discount so she was able to remain in the area and still have some money left for the cruise she had been planning to go on.

So what good deeds have you done Kay or are you all talk and no substance ?

Pisces (this is my last word on the subject as it makes me sick hearing the drivel you both so self righteously carry on with).

>>The thing that amazes me is the number of retail properties that just sit there vacant, for years if not months.<<

I would think that in many such cases the owners are elderly people not up to the effort needed to look after their business.

If you do a search on Google for the word ‘Stampduty Australia” I am sure you will find the solution.

This time, go to http://www.philipwebb.com.au/buying/default.html and
click on ‘stampduty’ on the left hand side.

Save this site in your favourites in Internet Explorer and you will have it for always.

If this isn’t the answer you are looking for go to the government department in your state which levies the stampduty and look for the formula on their website.

Yes, good idea Lawry.

However in order to spread the risk one would reall need to have either several other shops and/or income
just in case the shop cannot be filled immediately.

Ausprop, like to tell us about the postoffice in a decent location ?

Very few properties are unrentable.

Generally it isn’t difficult to find a tenant for a shop, just do not rely on the one estate agent.

More than just the one way to prospect is needed. That is, advertise yourself as well and go and have a casual chat to each shopkeeper in the shopping centre.

Well an upfront fee isn’t necessarily a bad thing as such though one would expect to receive some details beforehand.

Things like : “We have a couple of 3 bedroom houses in our sights in a reasonable size town in the Western region of NSW. the price is respectively $ 80,000 and $ 95,000 and, yes, we consider both to be a good buy.

If you want further information please note that we require an upfront administration fee just so as to sort out the tire kickers and time wasters from the genuinely interested parties.

Do send us an email and we will suppply details of our
bank account. Upon receipt of the goodwill fee we will immediately get in touch. Please supply your mailing address as well so we can send you some photo’s of the property together with some publicity about the town as well.

I don’t think these guys are fly by nights, just inexperienced and a bit on the naive side.
I guess they will learn fron the non response how to handle the next project.

It would even be better if they started a website to show the details.
