hi mel

wow over 500 “reads” and to think when we started i was aiming for 25.

sorry i thought as i wrote it, that if someone read it before i got all 3 on the board they would take it seriously, never mind we are being childish anyway (but sometimes you have to).

i never knew you could delete messages and it still counted. anyway it is the…[Read more]

hi SIS

as far as what age to have them, i wouldn’t like to be too old, my youngest is 3 and its nice not to get woken in the middle of the night by kids.

hi peter

i remember talking to an engineer and he said that cracking through the middle of bricks was more of a problem, while cracking around the mortar could be caused by many things including lack of moisture ( a real problem for many areas at the moment).

hi all

i was talking to an agent in horsham Vic a number of weeks ago and he made the comment that they get so many emails it is impossible to keep up. his small office would need to employ a full time worker just to reply to emails. he isn’t willing to do this as very few email enquiries translate to sales. i suspect he feels that if people…[Read more]

hi fatboy

is that 300k in equity? if so i’d look at turning some of it into cash, obviously it depends on your situation but over the last 4 months i’ve been turning that equity into cash (by selling not refinancing). With some of this cash i’ve been buying properties in NZ because the return has been excellent. i don’t think that the market…[Read more]

hi all

thanks simon, sorry what i meant was before this 25 point rise the banks had not raised their variable rate.
bye westan

hi johnny
in regard to your first post. i think you are mistaken in saying that the banks have lifted their variable rates since June, i don’t think there is any change because it is linked to the rate set by the RBA, however they do move fixed up and down depending on the outlook for interest rates so it is possibel for the banks to lower the…[Read more]

hi guys
