The forum is heading back on track. Have a look at the ‘congratulate an achiever’ post, all positives there. Perhaps you might have someone to congratulate as well.
Cheers and thanks for you thoughts

If you ask pretty please…maybe as an X-mas pressy, we can get a group of us to pay for your ticket to MELBOURNE and then have the party with you here… Then we can really sing “Santa is coming to town” []
OR U can be the slave to carry Santa’s prezzies since you will be here… better your back then mine LOL []
I’ll just carry the whips and chains and hand out the red noses [}] [:0)][:0)][:0)]

Ooops…before we get carried away….
I suggested the party…then Westan suggested Steve pay…
I thought I’d clarify that Steve hasn’t made mention of a party… YET []
I still think it would be a great idea…
State by State, maybe a BBQ (bring your own food)at a local park?
Share your brainstorms here…
Who’d make a good HO HO HO Santa? (I’ve got my ideas, but I’d be really cheeky to suggest it…)

Cusp Bentleigh East and Moorabbin.
I love the name Warrenwood! I used to live in Doncaster East (cusp Donvale) and if I remember correctly it’s not to far from there… Although it was a long time ago, I could be mistaken…but I thought it was close to Warrendyte?
I love living on the cusp! [:0)]

I think what Westan has done is a great idea. To partially fix your loan is a good option for many now (those who’ve negatively geared their properties are probably rushing to do this already). I have a partially fixed loan (Fixed Rate), of which the standard variable rate (SVR or floating rate) is higher, so if we wanted to get out of the fixed loan, there would be no break costs.
EG SVR = 7% FR = 6.5% So the banks would only make more money if you asked to break your fixed term, so they shouldn’t charge you any break costs.

Whilst I’m no financial advisor or the like, positive cash flow properties that will hold their own and then give her something to live off, it’s a fantastic option. Perhaps with that amount you might be able to get into commercial property and then she wouldn’t have to worry about outgoings on the property, just enjoy long term leases and cash flow.
As I mentioned earlier, I am not an advisor, so might I suggest you go to someone who specializes in wealth creation, with credentials, such as an accountant. Hmmm… Dale Guthrum-Goss’s name just popped into my head as a good contact for you. I’m totally unbiased suggesting him, as I don’t go to Dale for my accounting (yet!) He has just been highly recommended for a long time now.
Let us know how you go.. it’s an interesting question you pose…

Aside from the jokes about men in tights…or shorts, or with squeky voices …
My favourite on how to spot a NZlander is when they say the number 6. It always comes out a little different then they probably intended it too.
(Yep, I do giggle like a little schoolgirl, but I try not too) [:0)]
Must run…

I’d like to praise Westan, for being a wonderful resource as well as a helpful and informative contributor to all forumites on a variety of issues regarding property (and more []). []
I’d like to praise Simon (Mortgage Hunter) who has been answering posts like a real trooper! [] Mini, Thanks for helping others out, without your advice, your honesty and your tips on NZ the forum wouldn’t be the same. []
To Del and Enjolady – Leigh and Melbear who are all wonderful women who both juggle work, family and property investing making it look easy and still have time to tirelessly answer posts at the forum.
To Pinky and Arty who are probably still unpacking boxes from their recent move.. (Gee I’d like to find out what’s in their boxes [][:0)]) for their humour and honesty.[]
To Aussierogue for answering posts and being part of the PI community… []
To Fudge111 & Broz00 for your spreadsheets that make life easier for all…[]
There are so many of you, so I’ve just named a few of you… I could go on and on.. so maybe jump on in and put your own praise into a post..
These people have given of their time, so much of themselves, you all deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done.
Stay tuned for next installment…
Cheers

If the RE says ‘no’ or ‘it’s too difficult’ ask again until they give in. If you have to, tell them all the RE’s have been helping you out like that []
(Got to run M-in-law about)

Bill, I just took out the name of the person who you were trying to contact as they may not want their name known publicly.
For everyone, please use the forum ‘handle’ when posting unless the person is happy to have their name publicly listed.
All is cool
Cheers

I think it would be nice, when you Congratulate someone, perhaps write a little on why you have found them to be special. Hopefully, we will get a huge thread, praising each person on the forum (almost like a daisy chain) one by one.
Cheers

Thanks for that []
Some of us have been here sooooo long.. the road has been a little bumpy of late, but it’s like any recipe, it needs a little salt , a little pepper and much love to balance it out.
Cheers
