Hey Waysolid,

I think you need to pay close attention to the work being done, ask to be present, and give firm instructions to your agent that u must be called before any work is to be done at all, as long as its non urgent of course.

Ask for 2 quotes, offer to take care of the payment yourself, better still organise the quotes yourself,…[Read more]

Hey there Sibo,

I remember looking into Queanbeyan 3 or 4 years ago. price of a 1 br unit, $19-20K price of a 2 bedder, usually under $25K… how things have changed!!!

Now i havnt been there looking at property, but from what i can gather there is a huge over supply of units there, thus the previously mentioned low prices… so u may be…[Read more]

Hey there,

I have no problems at all with parents helping children buy their first property, mine did the same, and i would do the same to my kids some day. (just in case it seemed that way in my first posting)

If my son asked to borrow money for his first car, and he drove home the next day with a new BMW i wouldnt be happy.

Same with this…[Read more]

“Im sure most of the successful members on this site are past all the shitty little +ve CF country/small properties,”

I wasnt too happy with what i saw to be honest, with the way things are going, CBA is making it way too easy to over commit yourself to a huge debt…

I personally think that young couple in the story who needed to borrow 10 grand from their parents are very foolish, they had 36K between them, and needed the extra 10 for a deposit on their…[Read more]

Having Delt with Wizard on several occasions i can say that their service os “ok” as is their loan packages. However i did find their staff at a certain branch very ameteurish at crucnhing the numbers and doing the paperwork. I once was called several times over a month to say that my pre-approval figure was incorrect and that i needed new…[Read more]

Hey there Stingray,

I understand what your saying, But if you secure several investment properties over time, the value of the first properties secured will increase, while the loan decreases, depending on the structure of your loan.

You should also always have a “plan B”, mine is to sell off 1 or 2 properties should i ever get in a spot of…[Read more]

Yezzum,

There is no set curriculum sad to say, but there are 6 Key Learning Areas that need to be covered. without going into a slanging match into who said what, i can say that if it was as simple as opening a book and just teaching then there wouldnt be an issue for more pay.

What is taught in a primary school is always changing, firstly…[Read more]
