G’day Racheal,

How about posting some numbers on these deals so we can make a decision to persue them or not.

Just basic numbers will do at this point…

Purchase Price $
Expected Legals for area
Rates
Rents

Also a brief description of the property would be good.

I posted this one sometime ago and still wet myself with laughter everytime i read it….

change.”

G’day all,

Somersoft forum has a pretty good chat room. Always someone about willing to chat about almost anything…

Use mIRC or use the chatroom link in the forum home page…

“Welcome to the Investment Property Chatroom (#ipchat), watto!

When you enter the chatroom, you will be identified using your preferred nickname: watto.
If you want to change your preference you need to edit your profile (in the user control panel).
At the bottom of the page in the “Additional Information” section, you can enter your preferred nickname in the “Chat Nickname:” field. Hit the “Submit Modifications” button to save your changes.
You can use your forum nickname if you wish, or you can choose a totally new name.
Alternatively you can change it temporarily once you are in the chat using the /nick command.
By entering the information into your profile, you won’t need to change it every time you enter the chatroom.

For example, once in the chatroom, to change your nickname to stuart, you would type:

/nick stuart

When you enter the chatroom, if your nickname is already taken, you will be assigned a random nickname that may look something like “s15678”, you should use the /nick command to choose a new nickname.

Note: To use this chat feature you must be using a Java enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 (or higher) or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 (or higher).

The first time you use the chat software on your machine, you will be asked for permission to install and run it. Please grant the permission when the pop up window appears from Netscape or IE. The window will say something similar to: “Do you want to install and run “jIRC applet” signed on 15/02/2002 6:29PM and distributed by: JPilot Software Company”… you MUST click on “yes” to allow the chat to work !

You can also access the #ipchat channel with any IRC client. Just point it to irc.blitzed.org:6667 and join the #ipchat channel. You can download an IRC client from http://www.mirc.com/. “

Come in and join us all…

Cheers

G’day JayJay,

A similar thread was started over at the somersoft forum….

http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10814

Its not quite as simple as suggested….things to consider are fire ratings between dwellings, possibly fire escapes depending on state plus lots of other things…

Good luck its well worth the effort to find out what can be done.

Just to add to FW’s post….

March Melb MSN group meeting – Michael Yardney guest speaker (post #1)

Folks,

Michael Yardney of Metropole Properties has agreed to come along as our guest speaker for our next Melbourne MSN meeting to be held at Swinburne… we intend to run the next meeting on Thursday the 20th of March, (at Swinburne – Hawthorn)

Michael suggested he could talk to us about :
1. How to choose a top performing investment property
2. How to avoid the biggest mistakes made by investors
3. How to avoid the biggest mistakes made by landlords

Due to his development background, I would also suggest we ask him to briefly cover subdivisions/development, but I know we will be limitted to time… if you have any other suggestions (keeping in mind that we only have a max of 3hrs to cover this in) feel free to give me some feedback…

Note: these are free meetings (no cost) consisting of forum members from both the Somersoft & MSN forums…

Cheers,

MannyB.

No Problem BDM,
