Don’t agree!!!

If funding for public schools is the answer to their woes, remember The STATES fund the public schools.

The state goverments particulary NSW have shown they are useless in money management in education and health. Record revenues have turned into deficits (NSW). The $1 billion defecit in NSW of wasted taxpayers money could impr…[Read more]

Hi,

Your right Kay

one means work…the other means more work

Imagine Latham as Prime minister (speaking on the International stage for us and constantly backpeddlling when put on the spot).

Crean as Treasurer (the ALP’s first real budget announcement several months ago was already 1 billion short when it was financed properly, Costello found the stuff up for them).

Beasley as Defence minister again…put…[Read more]

I agree with it. I also agree with this one.

Ig CGT was at 50%, then I wouldn’t care- it would simply be taxed the way the rest of earnings is taxed. If negative gearing was abolished, well, it would put property investors on the same level as other workers- no big deal to me.

So for your hard work and diligence in property investing you…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post so please be gentle with me.

I’m looking to buy my second investment property. Well actually it’s my first property purchase without any assistance from a buyers agent. I wanted to have a shot at negotiating on my own this time and I figured it’d be good experience.

I even have the…[Read more]

SuperTed, do you mean he’s using ours to show his other listings that because ours isn’t selling, the others should drop their prices to sell?
Or do you mean he is using ours to have open inspections and get new listings?

If he’s trying the former then we sort of got that feeling. If he’s trying the latter, then the…[Read more]

100% + cash and in no rush

Im at a stage where i will not sacrifice lifestyle to become filthy rich. I figured i only need a reasonable disposable income to be happy.

Will probably add 2 more IPs (good areas and neg geared) when i feel “real” value is back in the market Im looking at .

Pubs can also be priced relative to their Keg sales.

Sometimes the “real” keg sales are not really what they appear..

Actually you said the bad share word before me and…[Read more]

So what could you do with $4k in prop? (maybe mortgage insurance and a cheapie)>> bringing the topic back in line.

Being that you cant broadly discuss shares.. so really you shouldnt discuss term deposits, cash management trusts or any banking transaction as that is not “property” either.

Also technically the rules would be breached as well if…[Read more]
