Thanks for the advise Pete R and Q.

Will talk to the local council and do some more research on . I suspect it may cost more than the sale price to have the problem cleaned up and it may also take some time.

Sorry to here about your joint venture problems Pete. Let us know how you get on. It sounds like your leasee is in the wrong. I expect the…[Read more]

One female west highland terrier called Bella.

Took her down the back at the farm today and plopped her in the water trough for a cooldown on the way home

Hey Monopoly

Just checked out the link you posted and you are right, I should post a mug shot!

Actually, I had not looked at that link before. And , by the way, a very nice photo of yourself you have posted there.[biggrin]

Bye for now

Hi Monopoly

Great post as always.

Just wondered if you look anything like your avatar???

Cheers Shawn

Here in South West Vic tree companys have been very industrious of late purchasing good farm land, stripping it of all assetts and planting it out in various breeds of trees. Around 40 dairy and grazing propertys have sold in the last 18 months. What this has done of course is push up the values and asking prices of any new listings.

I agree with G1. There are way too many books around already on investing and all.

You can find lots of how to books, and books full of successful outcomes. What you don’t find much about is books that can help you when everything goes wrong.

Since when did someone write a book on how they did all their dough! It happens all the time.

Who has read the Kiyosaki book- Rich Dads Prophecy??

Hello Nick

I have just finished reading a book called ‘Smarter Property Investment’ by Peter Cerexhe.

I think it’s a very good book. Up todate stuff.

Hope that helps

Here’s one interpretation that caught me out once with a tradesman.

Mickey Mouse- in NZ it means say, a poor job or no good.

Mickey Mouse- in Au it could mean a top job or something really nice.

So if a tradesnan says to you , know worries mate, she’ll be mickey mouse, then you will know what I mean!

Hey Jenny 1, Where did you see the pre nup kit on the net for $100?

$100 is not a lot these days and might be a good option. Even perhaps if you go on to a solicitor formally later???

Good luck

Shawn

Here’s another one I like.

Australia is an outdoor country. People only go indoors to use the toilet, and thats only a recent practise!

Yeah….. I agree

$2.50 a month, give us a break![axe]

Thanks for the interest.

The deal I am working on is zoned rural and in four titles, as I said. My strategy after settlement, is to work towards selling one of the titles after 12 months and to run the farm it’s self in a professional way.

It is a working dairy farm in a rundown state with a vendor under pressure left right and centre. 300 acres…[Read more]

Lucifer, could you give an example of how a SMSF can borrow indirectly?

Hello Allen

Interesting post there. The morgage advisor has given a good reply i think.

I think there are a lot of people out there who don’t really get how mortgage finance works. I know i was one of them. The old quote “If you think education is expensive then wait till you find out how much ignorance will cost you” applies.

Good luck with…[Read more]

A friend of mine owns an engineering business has sign in the office….

This is a non profit organisation !
It’s not the way it was planned but that is the way it has worked out..

Welcome to the forum reneek.

Contact some of the brokers on here.

How to maximise profits?

I remember the words of the famous investor ‘Warren Buffett’.

He says there are only two rules in investing.

Rule no. 1 Don’t lose money!

Rule no. 2 Don’t forget rule no. 1!!!

It’s amazing the number of people around who want to get into investing but set themselves up with a car loan!!

You cannot tell them though. They have to work it out for themselves [confused2]

Shawn

Well, Te Puke and Rotorua??

Sounds better than Huntly.

Jeff, Are many of the titles in the Bay under a Maori lease and what are the likely consequences of Maori lease land? I’d imagine a lot of investors would be afraid of it.

Cheers

Shawn

Hi Bonnie,

Welcome to the forum

Have you had a look around on realenz.co

I think the larger regional cities like Rotorua, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Hamilton, Invercargill etc might be the sorts of places to start with.

Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin I,m not so sure about.

Westan , Minimogul and others have good knowledge. Maybe…[Read more]
