Sure.

We just bought near the water. No views but a short walk to river and really cool beach. Windsurfers paradise!

I was only joking about crime rate. I was reading in Somersoft, some tosser wasn’t going to buy in GEro coz of spastic crime rates. It absolute Bullsh*t! The actual crime rate is because there is one repeat juvenile offender…[Read more]

Big Rob, I think we shall have to concede the fact that I live in a crime ridden town that no one wants to invest in. FINE BY ME!!!

Get rid of ’em all! First impressions admittedly may not be so grand, but when you read what is proposed for the place and having seen it change in 12 months, I have no hesitation in staying for long term.

If you…[Read more]

practically nothing at the moment. JAnuary is when all the government workers move up and there are only 3 or 4 houses available for rent and there are usually a tonne of people going for them.

Don’t know actual figures but we are currently in process of renting out our IP and we have a family wanting it already and we haven’t even advertised or…[Read more]

Crusader,
don’t knock somewhere that is bringing in the money!!!

I live up in Geraldton and I have to admit, I was one of the knockers, claiming “Oh it’s just the place you have to go through to get to Kalbarri!”. SO I know what you are talking about.

However, when a job opportunity was thrown my way, and on further investigation of the council…[Read more]

Use the search button RIP. It will give you all the links to recent forum discussions. It saves everyone from repeating themselves as all you have to do is add you comment and the thread comes back up to the top.

Eclipse,
that is only one way to work out if the property if viable or not. It also depends on what you plan on doing with the property.

Some people are happy to -ve gear their IP if it is a small amount out of their pocket. Some ppl are happier if it is a bit more due to possible capital gains.

I think you need to sit down and really work out…[Read more]

Thanks all. It has been a hard journey and I am sure it will continue to be difficult, just as long as we remember to make time for each other.

Michael, that’s cool mate. I realise you’re on the same time I am. No worries.

Suggestions. Well, Paul and I made a pact that instead of buying each other something (that may in fact be rather…[Read more]

try you states Real estate industry. They usually have a website.

Once you have worked out an area you are interested in then start using the local REA websites.

good luck

Thanks Abby.

That’s kinda why we are also looking into it. As much as I want to develop, I wouldn’t want to destroy something of historical significance.

As far as I can tell, there is no real history attached to it as the Water and Rivers people don’t even have records of it.

Still at square one!!

JAffasoft,
We have done that. Bought using our FHOG, are currently renovating and may sell or rent out in the near future. Our property has gone up $40K already and it isn’t even finished!!!

From what we have researched, no there shouldn’t be any capital gains.

Thanks Michael.
Always a good source of info.

The “Architect” would be bloody hard to find considering it is 50 years old! They probably would be dead or retired by now! Someone has also suggested going to the Historical society as our area used to be Market Gardens. They may have more information.

Funny! All this came from wanting more…[Read more]

BIg Rob! SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ha ha! I wonder if it is along the lines of the movie “The Bank”? Higher powers in the corporate sector dictating todays living.

I was wanting to watch it but didn’t realise it was on. Will check it out next week.
Steph.

Calvin, you were thinking along the same lines as me!! Those little dictophones are great and give excellent clarity.

After the “Confrontation” has happened, speak into the microphone afterwards and give what time and date it happened.

Also, maybe you should taking the up front approach as well. WHen she starts ranting, ask her how she is and…[Read more]

Super points rogue.

I’ve just read about the celebrities giving money to charities. Michael Schumaker has given $10Mill US!!!

That puts him in a totally different light for me. Not that I really thought much of him before, but it just shows he is content handing over that sort of money coz he can’t use it! I admire him for that.

As for…[Read more]

Obviously Robert, it would already be inseminated before being given to the family!!!

From memory they also had a bull in the background somewhere. I don’t think the bull actually belonged to anyone though coz I think they wanna avoid incest and stuff… You know…

Steve, my sentiments too about Red Cross. They do great things but I am a…[Read more]

I totally agree that children should know how money works and how to budget and things.

That’s why I went looking for that bizworld thingy in my other thread.

I don’t actually have any kids but I firmly believe that if children have some understanding of money and how to handle it, it is a good start for our future CEO’s. I’ll let you know how…[Read more]

Another really good chrity to donate to is CARITAS Australia. It is a Catholic CHurch run base but the funds go to helping a community become self sustaining.

The money isn’t just given to them. THey go out and buy a cow, for example. They give the cow to a family who milk the cow. Any excess milk they get they can sell. The only catch with…[Read more]

I personally would see that as an opportunity that could be changed in a relatively short period of time. All that property (assuming all calculations are correct) would need is a lump sum payment at some stage in the next few months (Tax return?) and maybe a slight rental increase if it allows for it.

Another option to increase rent is to…[Read more]

We were the opposite to what you have stated originally. We have absolutely no loyalty to any particular providers as they all seem to be shafting everyone the same way!!

To get our foot in the property door we had to jump through hoops and all to get the loan (98% if my memory serves me correctly) but our Mortgage broker kept us up to speed on…[Read more]
