I’d also like to know when WealthGuardian will be available again…

I do believe that “unlimited” finance is possible but not many people achieve that level. As I understand it the process is a journey and for some it may take longer than others. You would need to prove youself as a successful and professional investor over many deals. You would need a substantial asset base and multiple streams of income.…[Read more]

I don’t know how she has got so far on so little. I reckon this woman is a legend. I’ve no idea how to help her (I couldn’t do it for myself) but tell her I think she’s doing great. Very inspiring story as we are rather income challenged as well.

Yes please!

You set up a trust (don’t know much about this at the moment but am thinking I should look into it) and then rent the property, as an individual, from the trust.

You own the trust, the trust owns the property, you rent the property and pay rent to the trust. I think it works something like this anyway…

It is sold out at the moment but Steve…[Read more]

In my opinion, kids and pets are not the same thing. Children (although messy and destructive at times) are people and should not be refused housing. I also believe that parents have an obligation to accept responsibility for their childrens actions.

For example our PM told us that the tennant was moving out of our IP. OK that happens. Several…[Read more]

Yes, Peter Comben runs it. As I said, I can’t personally vouch for the courses and I don’t know much about property development. It just looked like an interesting site…

Do you know anything about him?

Cheers
Sonja

Although I can’t personally vouch for the courses, there is an interesting site that I have recently found. If you are interested in developing it is worth a look:

I want to be able to choose what I do, when I do it and who I do it with. I don’t want money (or rather the lack of it) to be the deciding factor in these decisions.

My situation is a bit different to yours but I am having the same debate with myself. Push on renting while buying IP or buy our family some stability and purchase our own PPOR.

The cost of continuing as tennants is an emotional one – no real stability (our “home” is on the market at the moment and we are hoping that whoever buys it lets us stay…[Read more]

I can understand that pets are an important part of their owners lives. Apart from the obvious benifits of guide dogs for the disabled, pets provide therapy and research has shown that caring for a pet can provide significantly improved outcomes for those who are sick or lonely or whatever. We have not said no to a tennant having a pet.

That…[Read more]

I haven’t been around for a while because a virus killed my computer. On my return I must admit that I noticed the dissapearing posts and was a bit perplexed at the new development…

I thought that some things were better to quietly vanish but it is a shame to loose so much good stuff and to be left with threads that are a bit cryptic…[Read more]

Yes, I am in NSW and I need a vacant block in a hurry so that I can relocate a free 3B/R house before it is demolished. Although the council will approve the DA before settlement (subject to vendors consent) I am a bit wary of going ahead with the relocation before settlement.

I was looking forward to it but had trouble organising someone to mind our kids (aged 2 & 3) as hubby works weekends. By the time I’d organised to get the kids to Sydney to stay with my mum (we live in Leeton) it had sold out.

I’m on the waiting list – hopeful but not holding my breath.

Enjoy it you lucky ones!

Cheers Sonja

PS In hindsight I…[Read more]

Thanks Jo! This is great

I was quite prepared to travel and pay for the seminar in July (I live in Leeton NSW) but my husband works weekends and there is nobody local that I can rely on to mind our kids (aged 2 & 3) at any given date that suits my whims. By the time I had organised babysitting it was sold out – but I think even with the cost of travel and accom. it would…[Read more]

If your rental return is $140 p/w and the weekly mortgage repayments are $125 then I would assume that the deal did not meet the 11 second rule. If the weekly return is 140 then the total purchase price should have been no more than 70k (if it is to comply with the 11 second rule) and weekly repayments of 125 seem a bit steep even if you borrowed…[Read more]

There are many ways to achieve your end goal. Keep this in mind and be flexible about the journey that takes you there. Personally I need to remind myself of this on a regular basis and it saves me a lot of stress.

I see university as an insurance policy. If you need to work for an income then it is usually quicker and easier to get a higher…[Read more]

It breaks my heart to see people start smoking. I have watched a few friends start and have been unable to have any influence on their behaviour.

Gatsby, I hope it is different with you but all of the people I have seen start smoking have denied being physically addicted for a long while after they obviously were. They started as you are, by…[Read more]
