Well, I say you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.

It’s not easy to please everyone!

Hi all,

I hate these MLM companies. All they do is make friends annoy other friends so that they are not friends anymore. We have friends who got involved in Melaleuca (some sort of vitamin selling thing) and when they asked us if we were interested I said flat out NO. I think that shocked them because most people are hesitant to say no to…[Read more]

Is it dream/fantasize? You know the weaken men one?!

Rachel.

P.S. Did we ever get an answer to the other riddle posted…the shop one…still staying awake at night thinking about it.[sleepy]

I am sorry, but this all gets a little tedious after a while. There are always going to be people out there hoping to gain from others misfortunes and perhaps this includes the media as well. However there seems no point in constantly whining about it. For all those that are out there making life seem disgusting there are millions more trying to…[Read more]

Hey Rugbyfan,

It’s fun isn’t it?!!! Bit stressful at times though. How old are your children? I have 2, boy and girl, 1 and 4. Fun for all the family.

Sometimes I wish I had annual leave…..

Not too often though.

Rachel[mad]

Okay

So is it a shop…that’s why she didn’t knock?!
A shop in a house…like a corner store. The package is groceries and the $100 is the price for the groceries.

Hi Melbear,

I’m sorry to hear that you got sacked!!![glum2]

I hope you find a better job soon! Enjoy the holiday too….

Rachel (The Child Development Researcher…aka mother…hence can never get the sack!!!)

Hi Chan Dollars & Melbear,

You’re right, I haven’t been hanging out in Forum Frolic before but I will sure check it out from now on.

I mean you could spend all day on this website, couldn’t you…[blink]

Hope you’re all having great days,

Rachel[exhappy]

This is me

[baaa]… cause I’m originally kiwi (don’t hold it against me)

[withstupid]…. did I mention I’m originally a kiwi!

[biggrin]… cause I can laugh at myself…well, most of the time.

Rachel.

Please tell us…I can’t sleep at night without the answer. [cigar]

So she’s a collector and knows the people she’s collecting from and giving them $100 for a package. Is it a garage sale? Maybe she’s a neighbour buying some old nic nacs from their garage sale?

Hi,

I believe the agents need to show how they came to a valuation with comparible sales in the area. On the agency agreement there is a section for their opinion on market price and then what the property is to be offered for. This way if the owner wants to list it higher than thier market opinion it is clearly stated on a legal document. A lot…[Read more]

Hi All,

I don’t know how anyone can afford to live in Sydney…or would want to. Was there yesterday with my children and the smog was terrible!!! Also the traffic…bad news baby. I live in the Blue Mountains about 2 hours from Sydney and it is great!!! Much rather a moutain view than a smog filled city skyline.

Sorry Sydneysiders,

Rachel.

Hi
I read the book about 3 weeks ago. Have always thought about IP’s but never had the guts (or money) to buy any. Will hopefully be ready to purchase a few in July. If there’s any left…LOL.

Hey Elves,

Why does your accountant hate you?
I am not finding joy in the accouting world myself right now!!! All the ones I talk to seem so focused on negative gearing. Bloody accountants (sorry to all those good accountants out there)!

Rachel.

Thanks all for your advice, it really is hard to tell which is the best way to go.

When our son got sick we realised the small importance of material possesions. It’s all about comfortability not necessity. My main purpose from this venture is to have enough passive income coming in so I dont have to work and thus spend the quality time with my…[Read more]

Hi Lisa,
I just did exactly the same thing you have with my accountant, telling him of the plans to sell our house and invest in +ve cashflow properties. My practically laughed in my face and wasn’t open to the idea at all. I felt like an idiot and didnt appreciate being spoken to like a fool. I am looking for some other opinions from other…[Read more]

Hi Rob,
I know what you mean, I wouldn’t have been so disheartened if he’d at least listened to our suggestions but as soon as we had mentioned +CF properties he practically rolled his eyes at us. I know I don’t have the kind of knowledge he has but I didn’t appreciate being spoken to like an idiot. His mind was closed off completely to the idea…[Read more]

Hi Rhonda,
I’m glad to hear that someone else is thinking of doing the same thing. It doesn’t seem as crazy when you’re not the only one. It’s hard to take the plunge though isn’t it? I thought I knew a decent amount about the whole property investing thing but reading this forum has shown me thats theres a whole lot more to know. I dont…[Read more]

Hi James,
Thanks, he is doing really well, finished his treatment at the end of last year which is why I have the time now to look into property investing.

Our accountant(the disappointing one) suggested the same as you but it would leave us in a very similar situation as we are in now as we would still be having to put $100 in a week to cover…[Read more]

Thanks very much I will certainly do the research here. It was really disappointing to hear our accountant shoot down all our ideas. He didnt even listen to the advantages, his mind was already made up before we walked in the door.
Thanks again,
Rachel77.
