Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Quasimodo [
]!Whilst on the topic of books, another really funny and easy read is “Kosher Sex” by Shmueli Boteach. I picked it up from the bargain bin at A&R and thought it looked interesting. It is!
Good luck with Brissy and I hope we get to meet Mrs Quasimodo at this forum very soon [

Hi,
Since I am still recovering from surgery, my husband is kindly doing the dishes, leaving me free to respond to the posts here.
Firstly…
rene rivkin is the perfect example, he has 17k people on his programe that he tells to buy a stock, but in the mean time he buys in b4 everyone else at a lesser amount and gets out b4 everyone else gets out, and for this he charges $600 p/aWhere do you get your information from? Newspapers? TV and Radio.
Perhaps he does, perhaps he doesn’t. Yes, he has been to court etc etc… BUT is the legal system perfect? [?][?][?]
Please don’t defame people on this forum.
The “almighty dollar” is not what everyone is after, maybe a few but not all. It’s a shame that you miss the point of this forum.
My heart truly goes out to you Paul.

Hi Paul,
[
][][][][]I read your post and Plutzed myself laughing. My children have more diplomacy!
The point of my post, was to inform you that, your posts are not to ask questions in order to learn, but in order to be argumentative and disagreeable
, so my point was, that it wouldn’t matter what forum you were on or posting at, aslong as you got some “air” time.For example, It wouldn’t matter if you were on a forum about cooking, would it??? The chef would suggest butter and you would insist on margerine.
Your anger towards my post, confirmed my suspicions.So I have a couple of suggestions for you
1) I recommend some Sam-e.
2) You need a stage, how about auditioning for a musical? [:0)]As to my answer to your original question, okay I’ll humour you.
Why would someone rent the cheaper house over the more expensive one if the rent was the same?
From the ‘Far Side’ : Well, the cheaper house (100K)allows renters with pets, so you pay for their accomodations too.
Okay, so I’ve split more sutures after reading your hillarious post Paul, but this warning should be clear enough.
Feel free to post away, but be nice about it. The
thank youat the end of your post went a long way. [^] There is always hope.
Cheers

Hi there,
I don’t exercise my right as moderator very often, but this is starting to get a little out of hand, so I ask that we be polite when responding to posts, otherwise I may just have to do some editting. Paul, you need to decide whether the money is worth it or not, but you’ve missed the boat anyway, Steve’s seminar is a sellout (mind you it sold out 2-3 months prior to the actual event!!!) That should tell you something. Paul out of interest, how many investing seminars have you been to ? In total how much do you think you have paid? What have you done with the information and are you richer for it?
Please be nice to each other [^]

Hi Watto, Willi and everyone on at this wee hour of the morning!
Thank you for your responses. I have noticed a few differences. A lot of testosterone floating about [

Must be all the chocolate being eaten []. Hypercity! After Easter, everyone will be in the more stable state, that only a good chocolate fix can do![:0)]

Hi Paul,
Firstly, very simply put, it’s Sooshie or Soosh if that’s easier to spell. In fairness to you, spelling is not my forte either [
], so I forgive you.
I don’t think that you would be happy with anyone’s answer because it is my guess that the question has no substance for your personal situation.
What I mean, put simply, is that it is my belief that you have NOT looked for a positive cash flow property, nor bought one, nor will you, nor are you likely to want to buy one.
Yet, you want the answers for your questions to prove a point. Perhaps, be honest with the point you are making, as it appears you genuinely have people trying to answer your theoretical ‘question’, but you are not for whatever reason of yours, listening to the people who have kindly responded to your post.
Personally, I have not done as many positive cash flow properties as I would have liked to, but since getting out of hospital and being able to actually sit infront of the computer, I have started doing my groundwork all over again, researching suburb by suburb, price by price, value for money, calling agents etc. etc. It’s the hard slog now.
Prices have jumped in the last month and I have a family of 10 waiting on me to find them a wrap house, on which they can afford repayments. Meaning they want last years price of houses.Okay so it’s almost five in the morning, but please try to read between the lines of those people who have kindly answered your post.
Happy Easter and stay safe

Hi Paul,
Peter is right, value depends on what the renter is looking for. I still am unsure what your question is?

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for all your well wishes during my overhaul [
]
I’m sorry to hear you have been unwell Nessie, don’t worry the kettle is always on []
Well, all I can say is surgery is NO fun and recovering and feeling useless whilst watching others do things is frustrating. I did try to play with Phillip and his Birthday present Brio train set and I think I ruined the party atmosphere when I leaned over and literally popped my sutures. WELL! A course of antibiotics later, some telling off by those around me, because I was trying to do too much [?][?][?] and your well wishes made me feel a lot better! Thank you.
Okay, so I’m ready to rock’n’roll! I’ve checked my usual site listings and in my short absence prices have gone up by 30-100K!!! Is this a misprint or have I missed something? I’d like to hear your opinions.Cheers and Happy Easter [

Hi there,
You are all so wonderful [
][][]! Thanks for all your well wishes, I’m really nervous now, I am going in to hospital now.
Just a thought for all of you to ponder about.
As I am going into hospital now, the one thing that plays on my mind the MOST, is my children. The biggest miracle in life is that of procreation and life itself. I mention this because of two reasons. 1) You have all showed how humanity is a beautiful thing, by all your well wishes and 2) No matter how much money you do or don’t make, the most important thing in life should be family.
If anything should happen to me, my only regret will be leaving my children. My thoughts are positive however and there is no time for regrets, just goals for the future []I’m off to see the wizard
Best Wishes over the holiday period and take care, give plenty of kisses to your children, friends and family.Sooshie [:X]
p.s. OH! I will miss my husband too (OOPS!)[:0)]

Hi there,
I tend to agree with Andy, think BIG (BIG is Good [

Hi [

Hi,
Thank you AD! I am very very glad you all responded and I was blown away that almost all of you had a different way of looking at things. WOW!
Thank fully, I don’t have to give medication often to clients [:0)] [:0)] [:0)], just a little morphine or pethidine here and there[
][], my maths is a bit rusty (I’m always posting late at night – early morning) Come to think of it, that’s when I do my Mid shifts [}]Okay, more seriously ( I obviously had too much sugar with dinner) The Caravans, sounded like a good deal, the 11 second solution stacked up, then of course due dilegence kicks in. Personally, I don’t like caravans ever since I went through the mattress bed whilst sleeping in a caravan in Tasmania (about 10 years ago).
This has been a very useful exercise and it was great to see your responses. I think I will use this as future reference.
Cheers

Hi again,
By the way, I forgot to mention (if you were wondering about the likeness of a broker to a travel againt) that I went into Flight Centre, got 1 quote then went into another Flight Centre and got a quote (cheaper) then went into another Flight Centre and got a quote and then finally with the cheapest quote, went to a qantas agency and showed them my cheapest quote and booked with them. Okay, so I’d upset many FC agents and they look at me with dread when I come in to get new travel catalogues (going to Fiji in June – G-d willing!) but my hubby said that if I didn’t get the price down to our budget, we weren’t going. Desperate measures for desperate times. Yes, those FC agents did do some work to get me a quote, but when they do make a booking, the commission more than compensates for the losses experienced with painful customers like me.

Hi,
LOL at Stuart! Okay, just having some fun. Life is getting too serious with all the world trouble.
Hilary is right, brokers to have to put up with troublesome customers who change their minds,leaving brokers with a huge explination to their boss what all that paperwork is for when there is no client.
The Banks obviously make a loss and that’s why they’ve all gone bankrupt (okay so I’m late for April Fools Day [:0)] Please DON”T go out and sell your bank shares)
Gary seems to be on a good wicket and Nathan, I can think of a lot of things to do with a bottle of champagne. Just pass one my way!
Quasi, thank you for your link, I think it may already be in ‘useful link’ post, but if not, I may transpose it if your okay with this.
And almost finally [] Imagine I’m a travel agent and each time someone booked a flight I gave them $500 cash back. Do you think I would make a living in a cut throat business?
Brokers, whether it be travel agents, finance or share brokers etc all make a commission. You’re right, it’s their pay for the effort and work they do. Perhaps as a Nurse/Midwife, I should get a cash bonus from each client that I help birth? I don’t think so. (Nice try Sooshie!) No No, I don’t think it works that way, BUT what if I was a broker for a hospital and they said, for every client you bring into the hospital, we will give you $500. Let me tell you that I would jump up and down, do cartwheels ( a site for sore eyes, just ask Steve!!!), wear bear/clown suites and anything I could to get clients into the hospital, BUT only if I believed in the hospital, it’s values and how it treats and respects it’s clients.
The same, I guess with a broker. His commission is worth the money you pay, if they deliver you a good service and they truly believe in the product they are selling to you (and can prove it will work for you). A fair days pay for a fair days work ( I hope that’s how it goes). If he wants to give you a cash rebate, take it. He wouldn’t offer it for nothing!My 2-Bobs worth![

Hi there,
I was listening to a popular talkback radio today at about 3:00pm (I think) and they were talking about property and investments. This lady rang up and said that some person came to her house to try to convince her to come to a seminar for $17,000 [
] [}] [xx(] to see how they can make her wealthy using positive cash flow property! The guest speaker then went on to talk about 2-tier marketing, whereby the prices are inflated and then a rental guarentee is included, finally suggesting she stay away with a 10 foot barge pole. At least he gave her the right advice.
So when you go to these free seminars, you can assume there about negative gearing and if you have to pay 17K then it’s about positively geared properties. Hey Steve, thinking about multiplying your seminar fee by about 6 ? I didn’t think so. PI forum guests are on a good wicket with you!Cheers and ‘ave a good weekend

Hi,
Would the 11 second solution look like this? I’m not sure about caravans etc.
rent 160 + 170 = 330
Then minus 100 for site rental?
330-100= 230
230/2 = 165
165 * 1000 = 165000Have I gone wrong somewhere??? This is where an accountant is needed. I’m just a midwife [

Someone help []Sooshie [

Hi,
Thank you for all your responses! I’m just about to put boys to bed. Phillip has had a wonderful birthday, thank you for all your birthday wishes! He and little one are watching Stuart Little 2 and I snatched a couple of minutes at the puter.
Stuart, I’ve read some of your posts and you seem to be pretty honest with regards to your job, however of course you’d say this
My advice is forget about trying to make money out of your broker. [
][][]Sorry, just had to laugh, when your first line said
I’m a mortgage broker.
I’m not sure what you get, but 0.1% trailing commission on the life of the loan, is no small sum. It’s true, getting your broker to work hard is very important, but anyone would be a fool, not to try to get the most from their money.Cheers
