Hi Gatsby…. I’ve just been reading what you’ve posted and really feel for you. That’s just appalling what that bag is doing! I think I’m the same kind of person as you though.. that I don’t speak up and tell people to ‘sod off’ when they really deserve it… for fear of others joining in to gang up on me! I take it all on board and end up leaving jobs because I can’t speak up for myself. It takes little steps, but they will think twice if you bite back. She’s knows that she can dump what ever she likes on you and push you around and you won’t do anything. People like that just love the little power thrill.. and if you look closely, you’ll find that she doesn’t do that with people that are aggressive themselves. She’s too scared to! what a cow! But that gives her absolutely no reason to do what she’s doing… take her down Gatsby! fight fight fight! hehehe
On the dictaphone bit… I once upon a time had a person giving me a gobful on a regular basis, and decided further with it. I was advised to record all our conversations with any recording device (and this was by the police). I also questioned this about the other person not knowing, but they advised that you can record ANY conversation AS LONG as YOU are one of the main parties talking. You are not allowed to tape others without their knowledge.. but you can certainly record any ‘conversation’ that you are part of.
perhaps you could look further into that? wink wink[wink]

Hey Dazzling… you’re certainly not in the boat by yourself with this one hey? it would seem that unless you’ve married an investor to begin with, your partner won’t have the same motivation either.
I too am in the same boat… my hubby couldn’t give a rats about investing and seems to think that money grows on trees and will be there when we retire… but who is gonna keep working then? But, I have the motivation to pull us out of any worries and to give him spare money to spend. (note that this is SPARE money… after i’ve put aside what we need for investing)
It really is hard… and I totally understand your frustrations with this one… but just show small positives in your investing and slowly bring her into the picture. Once she sees that her spendys can come from the income off of your investments, she’ll want more investments!
Chin up… we’re all feeling what you’re going through Dazzling and you’re definately a step ahead of most of the population with just one of you into investing!

I can’t comment on the PM’s (cause I never get any hint hint) but, I would also LOVE to see some area where you can talk about any other investments too. I would definately be interested in that!

Boy oh Boy….I feel that you may have really taken some of these jokes and sarcasm to heart. Where on earth did that come from?
Not sure if you realise, but everyone has their story, and perhaps some of us are rostered on, but CANNOT get out of it? Did you even bother to as why we were working for that period of time?
Perhaps we’ve already had our Christmas with our families before they’ve gone on holidays themselves? Perhaps some of us spend the whole rest of the year as though it is Christmas with our families anyway? not just giving gifts one day of the year that everyone else does!
Suggest you get your facts straight before you come on here and have a go at people.[weird]
Lighten up!
Tam
aafreen… what has happened with this one? Did you withdraw your offer or did they accept the original price? I’m quite interested in what happens with this one!
Cheers[suave2]

Hi guys…
Just some info from the ‘other side of the fence’. Hubby and I are currently renting a property and are running a business from home. We haven’t advised the owner, but mind you, it is a one man show with the work being off of the premises anyway. We have been there for many years and really, he’s only happy with the rent being paid well in advance, and that WE are the only residents in the property. Only the address etc are used really for paperwork/Invoicing etc.
Having worked in Property Management before, I would think that this would have been obvious that they were their own business and were intending to use the property as a business address? Perhaps they should be leasing a commercial property .. or at least advising YOU of what’s going on. Who did the PM speak to about employment?
Isn’t it usually a ‘condition’ of the lease that the peoples’ names on the lease are the ONLY people allowed to reside on the property. I realise that the other workers aren’t ‘living’ there as such, but they’re there over 40 hours? hhhmmmm…. me thinks that if this has gone on without your knowledge, then what else is?
What does the insurance side of things entail? We have our own business insurance, and separate contects for our stuff (that also has included that we have a business run at the property), but what kind of damage or changes would they necessarily do do you think? I would think that if there’s ANY difference to your cover that their business would be entitled to cover that hey? not sure….
Good luck Dep!

Hey, if I was to set up a trust with mum as the beneficiary, is there anyway down the track (ie. after the divorce obviously) that i could somehow sell it to her? or perhaps transfer it to her?
Say, if i was to buy the business now (we are both looking at buying this business anyway), but if I was solely to buy it through a trust set in my name, could we transfer it somehow later? [whistle]
Cheers!
Tam
Thanks Terry
Good lord! Sounds like it could be quite messy at the best of times – a divorce! gees…… Think I might get her to see a lawyer as you said BEFORE she even thinks about anything.
Much appreciated!

Although, I’ve had a quick look and it seems to be a steer to another real estate perhaps? I dunno.. i’ll have another look and tell you otherwise if i’m wrong.
Cheers!
Tam

Hi Bonnie.
Don’t feel like you are being a ‘pest’ in the PM’s eyes… that’s their job! They also shouldn’t make you feel like you are being a pain either. I think you should be the ‘squeaky wheel’ as said above… what’s the worst that they will do? Send you away?
I used to work in a Real Estate for a PM and I was the one that had to call the owners with regards to any problems with their properties ie lettings / maintenance / rent etc… and I can tell you, that the owners that called the office daily would be getting the call from me first! They were priority. We would be letting out their properties first to get them off our back! There’s no way that i wanted them to keep calling me and get cranky! We would do everything in our power to keep any lettings and these people should be doing the same. Don’t ever feel bad about what others will be thinking about you… this is your investment that they’re managing. You harass them all you want girl! hahha

Hi Brooke,
I have to agree with Derek and Monopoly basically on the fact that they’ve taken an business approach to this situation and are not getting ’emotionally’ involved. If you ask for
Any feedback is much appreciated!
then, that’s what you’ll get. Feedback is feeback, whether you like it or not. if you don’t want to have negative (which can be very helpful) then don’t ask for ANY feedback. Only ask people to applaude you on what a great job you’re doing. Then you’ll be happy with what your replies?
Sorry to be blunt, but it would seem that you’re getting angry for others to share their views just becaues it’s different to yours.

Hi again Cre8ive
