Trouble with the modern military (and especially consription) is that, living in a time of equal oppurtunity, consripted males could argue (possibly rightly) that females should also be consripted into combat roles. Also, why should the old age groups 18-35 still apply when we are living longer and the retirement age is going up?Consription…[Read more]

A change sounds like a nice idea. But do we think this is a change or just the general sentiment of a population in a slump. Unfortunately we tend to have very short memories and im sure as things improve the same mistakes will be made again. So i guess it all depends on where you stand. Do you take the moral  high ground and…[Read more]

katelea,I don't know legal ins and outs, just basic tenants rights in the NSW area.Surely the tenants are aware that you plan to sell? Perhaps you should just approach them directly, or via the agent, to break the deadline to them. You sound like you have been a good landlord and, as long as your tenants are reasonable people, they should try and…[Read more]

How quick you can get a tenant out depends on what state you are in – I believe it is 30 days for property sales in NSW and 8 weeks in the ACT. Not sure of other states. Surely the most prudent thing would be not to agree on vacant possession until you know that the tenants can be removed in time for the sale and that the tenants agree to move…[Read more]

If this is how you really feel about property in this country then I feel sorry for you because you will forever be renting while waiting for prices to fall to what you perceive as good.  The only problem with that is the seller also has to consider your offer good value and accept it or else its NO DEAL.  Anyway, I think you are w…[Read more]

Why waste your time on this forum if you have nothing constructive to contribute to this discussion?

Obviously, what is 'constructive' and what is not is a matter of opinion…

Hello everyone…We learnt a very very hard lesson about getting into debt for things that depreciate rather than appreciate in value and I am now researching wealth creation, and have found that property is my preferred method. I never ever in that situation again.

They say: out of 10, expect 2 high flyers, 2 dogs and 6 in between. I find that if I try to avoid the dogs, I will miss out on the high flyers.

Why don't they say out of 5, expect 1 highflyer, 1 dog and 3 in between?
