I,d be guessing that this is going to be a rather expensive house.Especially if it is in a good holiday area.If you live in the area and know the type of monies to be expected then it may work but if you have to pay an agent to manage you will find that cleaning and management costs will take a big chunk out of the equation.You also have to factor…[Read more]

I think I should invest in a new seat too.And a pair of glasses.

I met a couple not long ago who said they bought a place in Norseman.Strange thing is they choose to live in their bus travelling as far from the place as they can.

My advice is to let your fingers do the walking first.I rang about five different places for a shower base and the difference in prices(new)was over a hundred dollars.I now buy a lot through the person who looked after me with this deal.
And when I went back to that big company that says they can beat it by 10%.You all know the one.They said they…[Read more]

Monopoly,
Hello my friend.
You have used a different price to Greg so the calculation can not be the same.
His price was 100 000
so 10 400 divided by 100 000 = 10.4%

Brad,
If the problem lies in the fact that you are making a capital gain and therefore increasing your income for the year then you will be assessed on that income and you may have to pay more child support.If this is the case you need to ask yourself a the question.
1.Am I avoiding my responsibility to pay maintenance and depriving myself of…[Read more]

Kylie,
Why is it you feel pretty confident with the share market.Is it because you think you can find a broker to manage your funds and therefore distance yourself from the whole event and not have to worry about making the wrong decisions?
Or do you like the idea of being able to start your investing with a small amount of money and therefore if…[Read more]

Retired fisherman.I spend my days looking for interesting investments and reading some interesting posts on an interesting investment forum.

Greg
Looks like you got it mate.Happy posting.
Russ.

Hey Watchful,
How many properties would you like.Lets see
2% + 2% + 2% + 2% gee I could retire in no time.
But I guess 2% aint bad compared to some.One particular mob charges 10%.

Daaussie,
Obviously you have your doubts about this company and it sounds to me like gut feeling saying something isnt right here.Sometimes it pays to listen to your intuition.
When in doubt leave it out.
There,s probably a much better opportunity waiting around the corner.
Russ.

Greg,
I think you use the quote tab at the bottom of the post.I aint sure tho as i,ve never tried it.But seeing as no one else would answer I thought i,d at least try.

Hey Scremin.I can just about hear you in Dongara.
Great place,great beaches,great people.Shit wind.

Hey Greg.
I like the avatar!!!!

Lets not end up with a braggers forum.It doesnt matter how much you own or how you got it.What matters is whether you enjoy being here to help out or not.You may not be brainy or rich but you may be able to cheer someone up with a witty comment or motivate someone who needs a lift.Everyone has something different to offer so dont compare stars or…[Read more]

If you go to “Heads Up” you will find a good list with some reviews.

Sue.
Have a good look at the building and make sure it doesnt need to much money spent on it.See what you could do to add value to each unit to warrant a rent hike.Do your sums and make a low offer to start as the figures are still a bit low at 9.3%gr.There are better deals out there so dont go with it unless it absolutely measures up.
Russ.

What a change Westan I didnt recognize you.Have you dyed your hair?[biggrin]

Nathan.
The thing you have to watch is the cost of building.These areas offer cheap land because to a certain extent they are isolated.But if you look at the price of building you will find that it is cheaper by half to buy an established house in the same area.
For example;I live in Dongara WA.It is on the coast and land starts at $60 000 It…[Read more]

Are there alternatives such as park homes.Here in WA a lot of retirees live in park homes and pay a minimal rent.There are also council funded retirement units at very low rents.The retirement units in our town are on the beach front and the retirees have the best and cheapest housing in the area.LOL.
