Hi there,

Investigator, perhaps my tendancy for late night “Foot in Mouth Disease” was rife last night, but I believe I mentioned the word ‘many‘ which implies some, but not all.

It’s great to see yourself defending your occupation and I’m sure there are many honest and legit operators like…[Read more]

Hi Sach,

Wow, you should win a prize for your astute observation!!! [8D]
I believe Steve is aware of this and has brought it to their attention. If you have the web link though, can you post it please?

Thanks for catching that ‘OOPs moment’ [:0)]

Hi there,

Many suburbs.

Elwood (closer to Brighton) 400 is entry level now.
Fairfield,
Richmond
Prahran (some still left)
Port Melbourne (overpriced, but still good properties to be found)
Maybe still around Albert Park 400 + entry (you might need to do reno’s)
Many of these suburbs are ‘old’ established suburbs and you might find a few…[Read more]

Hi M,

I mentioned it’s not technically illegal, because many of these people doing the scamming, have titles eg “Financial advisor” etc, and hence it is hard to prove that they are infact misleading or being deceptive, especially if they can turn around and say “at the time it was good advice for Mr X,Y or Z’s situation at the time”. I think Stu…[Read more]

Hi Hilary,

Will update the Wrap post shortly…

Hi there,

For many of us, I don’t think this comes as any surprise. Perhaps the ACCC should stop talking and start doing something. I’ve been targetted and hit by these marketers many times. I’ve posted about it too.
Unfortunately, other than misleading people and giving false information, what they do is not technically illegal.
I guess it’s…[Read more]

Hi all,

Hi there,

A Real Estate Agent is just like any other salesman. Remember they want to make a living too.
I’m not sure about how you go about shopping, but I’ll look through the junk mail, compare the prices of the competition and sees which is better value for money.
When people buy a car, they do all the due diligence, eg. roadworthy test,…[Read more]

Hi all,

I’ll be updating you all on the situation soon. I’m just trying to sift through all the ‘politics’ of the situation and learn the truth. In order to help, I need to stay ‘Switzerland’.

Have a great week

Hi all,

I’m reading your posts and you’ve given me a lot to think on. It’s so so so MESSY!

Hey Richmond!

Congrats on becoming an ‘M’! []
I don’t think you’d think I was cool if you saw me here sitting with a crying baby on my lap [] [?] He usually likes Elmo [?]
Besides, you bring your own style to the posts. Variability makes it more interesting []

Hi Aaron,

I’ve checked out the site and it has some useful information with regards to process involved in building house (minimal detail but informative).

Hi everyone,

Stu, that will be great! The need for regulation/s are apparent, it will be a relief when it does come, methinks anyway.

Hi there,

YEP!!! All 3 mortages are with different banks.
Totalling more that 1 million buckaroos [] This is NO joke.
Having a triple mortage can be done legally
For example (please remember I’m not the Queen of Numbers[])
original mortage on example PPOR is 130K, house market value 150K (i.e. 1990)
2nd Mortage extra 100K on house after price…[Read more]
