Thankyou for your reply. The situation has changed (slightly) in that those people decided the repayments were above their means, but now we have another family interested in a rent/buy wrap. I just need to get time to sit down and find out exactly how to do this. I am not interested in pumping the price of the house up, or making a higher…[Read more]

That’s cruel Sis, for those of us unable to get there! Please tell us about the interest rates, I am sure everyone would love to know Peter’s opinion.

Brady5 agree totally with you! My personal opinion is when people personally have worked to achieve something, it is more valuable to them than when they “access a line of credit” which is simply invisible “other peoples’ money”

Dunnyboy, work hard and get a few grand saved, and learn as much as you can. Aim to double that money within a 12…[Read more]

It’s 20 years ago now, but I remember my sister-in-law who lived in Adelaide complaining about the dangerous amount of lead in the dust out there…….?

No one thread can answer your question properly.

You need to get hold of decent investment books and read, read, read, read and then read. If you use the search button on the left under Books you’ll come up with a great review list. Someone else might be clever enough to have that link?[blush2]

I would suggest you spend quite some time reading…[Read more]

Hi, glad to hear you’re ready to give investing a go. I would personally avoid purchasing a permanent caravan, (and I know little so I could be wrong) simply because the land belongs to the caravan park owner, not the caravan owner, and as such the rents can appreciate, but the van itself will depreciate (and much more rapidly than a normal…[Read more]

A Ridgeback/mastiff marshmallow called Jake, a Rough Collie (lassie dog) called Keira (my baby)…a tabby cat called Tiger (I’m HIS baby).

Four foster cows named Mudcake, Honey, Lizzie and Misty…we did have a steer called Bruce (as in Bruce the Goose, he was an idiot) but we ate him.

I thought the going rate was one horse per 5 good acres? After all, they do eat like horses…and I agree, the poo factor would be immense!! But then I guess you could bag and sell it!?

We relocated an old colonial as our PPOR 4 years ago and believe me it’s STILL mid-reno…although it looks like a palace compared to how it arrived. One job gets started, then has to be paused til another job is dealt with, which in turn exposes another!

I think we must have had temporary insanity because we didn’t break down and cry when we…[Read more]

I am blessed that Brett supports my vision and passion to see us financially set free. Whereas I can be impulsive and a bit of a risk-taker, Brett is slower and more risk-averse…quite a good combination! I would agree with many of the previous suggestions. Slowly does it, maybe actively seek out people in your social circle, neighbours,…[Read more]

Lots of beautiful land in lots of beautiful places without prisons nearby and jets overhead…I know where I wouldn’t want to build OR buy…

I’m with Calvin here, Foundation, I think anything is worth checking thoroughly. Just by the by, do you mind me asking how many IPs have you got tucked under your belt? I was surprised to discover you’re only 28, I thought from your posts you must have been in your 60’s!

Phil, our computer crashed on the weekend so when fixed we upgraded to Windows XP so we could use ID. However! previous emails have “gone” – could you resend so we can download that update??

I believe Christianity isn’t about buildings, it’s about the love that’s in them. Unfortunately sometimes “man’s plans” get in the way of God’s plans. The most awesome church I’ve ever been in was held in a little shop front at Bargara. I personally have a problem with churches having buildings worth a bomb while people go hungry or…[Read more]

“Eat the meat and spit out the bones…” a wise man once told me when I questioned a style of teaching. Use your discernment.[buz2]

IMHO those folk who take an aversion to people such as NJ do themselves a disfavour, as it closes down the door of opportunity for them to learn from him. I prefer to learn from as many different angles as I can.…[Read more]

And yes, Brenda, I agree that step by step is the way to do it. We will be down there for 9 days shortly so Brett and I will begin to check out the work situation. I think your idea of renting first is wise. I just hate the idea of paying “dead money” !! Oh well if we set a goal of 6 months renting then buy…?
