Hi Everyone,

Thanks Leigh! I’ve had some troubled waters on the home front, but I have been popping in now and then and couldn’t believe how quick things are moving! That is a testament to how great this site is.
Michael Lawson emailed me this link that was given by ‘Jumbo’ and although it is from 2001-2002, I agree with Michael that it is…[Read more]

Hi Brent,

All the good financial planners I know, hide that fact! Hmmm!
I used a couple and basically they wanted $500+ just to come up with a stratergy for spending our money. The next step was to sell us their managed funds.
Needless to say, I waved him goodbye.
The best financial planner is yourself, sitting down with a pencil and paper and…[Read more]

Hi,

NOOOOO Sooshie is NOT enjoying this heat. I was born in June….winter time… I believe in my former life I was an Eskimo. I like the heat as much as I like mosquitos. Mosquitos have to be the worst bug on the planet. My neighbours have complained about the aircon keeping them up all night. Well it was 44 degrees! It’s hot tonight…[Read more]

Hi Hilary,

Unfortunately he won’t get a loan now. I wouldn’t even loan him the money. To risky. He could get a no docs loan, but would suffer hardships due to unemployement.

Will think harder on the situation. I believe they want to buy the business for their children to help them out.

Hi Dragon,

Are you convinced positive cash flow investing is for you? If so, I suggest you do some homework. I’d like to suggest you go into the ‘useful links’ post and have a read around and see what you can find. Keep a notepad handy.

And NO, I don’t get paid to plug anything here. Just in case you were wondering. Personally I think that…[Read more]

Hi,

I’m very impressed with your Uncle. Do you think there is room in the family for me? Just kidding. I wish my parents had been investment Savvy with my siblings and I. I hope to teach my children the right way.

I hope you listen to your Uncle.

Cheers

Hi, Me again [:0)]

I agree with Regina, but now I’ve thought of even a better idea. Get them to come over, give them a low income spiel and tell them my house is a commision house! Devious ha!!! See what happens when you feed a Gremlin like me after midnight [}]
I heard from ‘Bozo the clown’ who said the email bounced and could I return his…[Read more]

Hi Arnaldo,

Whilst I’m no expert on this by any means, council needs to be consulted on basically every move, from removing walls, building carports or removing them, fence lines etc. Red Tape can hold you up for a long time. I know of some builders who’ve been in the game for 40years or more and the headaches they get from councils is…[Read more]

Hi kjajha,

Having gone down this path before, I just want to ask you whether you’ve thought about why they offer a rental guarantee? Yes, they onsell the property at a higher cost once they have fixed it and then you can ‘claim’ depreciation (hope my spellings okay) on the fixtures and fittings etc.
Please go into this deal (if you so choose)…[Read more]

Hi,

Did I ask him how many properties he owns? The answer is Yes. It’s probably the first question I asked him. I also asked what his background is, for e.g. if it is in Real Estate (as was the situation here) I wonder why he didn’t make enough money like all the other realtors, so that he has to do this dirty work for a living! (Not that I…[Read more]

Hi Watto,

More freebies…sounds good. Want me to put them under useful links?
Let me know

Hi Barney,

Thanks to Watto, I got my free book ( I like these free book offers []. Not only did I get one, but hubby applied for one, not through this link. He also got his book.

I think you should try again Barney. It can’t hurt to try.

Cheers

Hi there,

Great posting for people unsure where to start looking or for those who think finding a wrap house is too difficult.
Keep up the good posts

Hi Tails277,

Sounds like a jolly idea, however accountants and lawyers/solicitors, charge more per unit/hour than a labourer (although the one’s I know charge like wounded bulls- No offence to all the labourers out there! If we need you we need you!!!). How will you divide chores/responsibilities equally between the two, so that neither one…[Read more]

Hi Adofunk,

I agree with Steve on this one. It gets too messy and you end up loosing friendships. I know of potential investors, just doing nothing and I want to shake them and give them a kick up the ‘uuuhhhmmm’ but I know that should something bad happen, I won’t be able to help them or get them out of a fix. It’s your choice in the…[Read more]

Hi AD,

These UK investors have more money than I. They could buy property outright, I don’t understand why they would need me to wrap them a property? It is possible I misunderstood what you are suggesting, could you please clarify for me. I tell you, I am soooo slow now. Fuzzy brain syndrome []

Hi there,

I’ve wished I was an octopus this last week since my husband is overseas for work. [:0)] Alas, its just been me and I couldn’t get a chance to breath let alone post a reply.

AD I’m not sure I follow what you mean exactly. Do you mean that I should use their money to invest in a wrap?

Thanks for all your responses []. Are you also aware as Steve mentioned that local stores, including BIG hardware stores will give discount cards (on merit/work basis).

Hi there,

I have friends who live in Moe and they know about wraps. In fact they said most of the community knew about wraps, because a lot of people where buying their house that way.
My friends asked me about it, knowing I do wraps and I said that I have a friend who could do it for them if they were interested.
My friends mother mentioned…[Read more]
