All the people laying the boot into the OP need to take a chill pill. One day you may well be down on your luck and may need a helping hand.

Why don’t you just double your rent? That way your wife can leave work when you have kids.

So far your doing quite well. All you need is some financial discipline to stick with a budget. Alternatively “pay yourself first” by putting some money into a saving’s account you can’t access easily. Richest man in Babylon suggests putting a little away each pay (a couple of percent) then as you become comfortable increase the…[Read more]

In the UK I believe it is possible to bar all calls where the number is witheld. The person making the call is re-directed to a message telling them that they need to unblock their number. That would be very good. Why can’t we block calls from specific numbers / places.

Look I have to apologise. I just get really cranky about housing

My reason is that I want one house to raise a family in on one paramedics wage.

I lost it because you have 6 properties.

I should not have and I apologise unreservadly. I have nothing against you or your fella personally.

Put it down to me having had a really rotten shift

If you make lot’s of money from real estate “ahem” using “creativity” you may just may, dislike what Niel has to say.

If you just want to buy a house to call home he is a champion.

If the seller lives in the property walk on up and knock on the door. Say that you would like to buy the place but the agent is causing you problems and you will not deal with them out of principle. In the contract have a point that the RE agent is not to get one cent in commision. That’ll sort him out.

Is there another agent in the agency?
