What does one property investor say to another property investor?

How about..”I’m looking in an area i won’t disclose, for a property priced between $10.00 – $300,000, my figures (which i can’t show you) say i should make X amount of profit, that’s why MY bank will lend me so much. Now stop staring at my breasts…”[ohno]

Another quick story:
My daddy came to Oz with S100.00, a wife and five kids. The Govt offered him $124.00 p.w on the DOLE. He instead went to WORK at Toyota for $120.00 p.w. Why ? Anyone?
