Yes, but not only delivered to his house; the protesters gifted him a brick at every public speaking engagement that he attended. It got stopped by using the anti-terrorism laws.[] I believe there are more than enough loose bricks left for his remaining time in office.[]
but just going back to the floods: Yes there were two within 12 months but for the previous several years nada.
And dont forget the “gentle Gero zephyr” Redwing![]
Isn’t that why one or two world champ wind surfers live there[?][?][?]
Sorry Blowie, me and my clear as mud comments!![:0)]
I was referring to your remark about renting. Why live in a place that may end up +ve CF, as well as not needing to pay the mortgage. This alone is better for your income, then combined with cheap rent and the feel good factor of helping out seems like the most obvious for a win-win situation.
Oh yeah thanks Mel[] I always find it handy to know I’m not totally off track!!!
Not nessy-sarah-lee blowie! I’ve been considering this option myself. Although the place that I’m consdering renting is my sister’s IP. And it has a bigger back yard and all sorts of extras that my PPOR doesn’t have at the moment. I will also have a better balance sheet. No morgage payment of $850 pm and can get $200 /week rent. (new rent $75 week)
Fhog is the only thing that I can see that is a sticking point now that PPOR is an IP. Anyone got any info on this??[]

What is wrong with the old fashioned way of SAVING for a deposit and then seeing what you can get for your money???
I know it sounds harsh, but it seems like you are not ‘investing’ rather, you are ‘gambling’ with Capital Growth. If there is no growth and limited prospect to sell, you may end up paying money back for an investment that will not be returned to you for a very long time!
I dont know about most people, but I like to get money back from day one of my investments.
Maybe I am a bit naive – being new to this investing gig. I have found that networking and thus relationships with bankers, accountants, RE agents (and not forgetting tennants!!) are all a matter of personality and viewpoints. This is a fact of life no matter where you go.[]
If someone does not share your vision – find someone who does! Much more satisfaction and greater achievments are possible this way.[8D]
Well, well, well. Just when I was reading for fun along comes a veritable goldmine of information!! Thank you David![] This is just what I need to stop a marginal investment decision turning into a shocker!!
Hey leave dags alone! Many’s the time when I’ve walked into the butcher shop and wondered how they afford all that food!![]
Oh and the dentist is good too – only getting information is like pulling teeth.[8D]
