    Hi Most certainly an end of an era, thanks to the Somers and Sim for all your contributions. Lets hope most of the good one's migrate over to propertychat. Regards, alicudi

    Carrum Downs

    Hi I have lived in the area since 1982. For some of that time (over 20 years worth) I have lived in Patterson Lakes which is very close to the treatment plant on Thompson Rd. The smells from the treatment plant were terrible in the 80's especially on hot nights or nights when the wind...

    critique my business idea: alcohol

    Hi If you only have a 1% feeling that this business will take off, why not sell the idea to a fellow somersoft member for say $10? Just calculate your Return on Equity for the $10 you received and you will be happy and not having to expose yourself to any risk either....win-win for...

    Advice required re: changing residential to medical consulting zoning on a house

    Hi Have you first checked that the current residential zone does not allow for medical businesses? I was looking at a property earlier this year that was a house for sale in a residential zone and actually allowed the premises to be used for medical suites as it was located right next...

    St Andrews Beach - What have I missed?

    Hi Maybe the growth reports are real?, and maybe the current vendor's asking prices are un-realistic and are nowhere near the current selling prices the area is achieving?:confused: Regards, alicudi

    Cheap asses - at what equity position did you begin to relax?

    Hi I am 40 now but for many years I never cared about the prices of anything and purchased whatever I wanted and did whatever I want (waterfront home/several boats at a time/AMG's...etc etc). Never would I consider the need to check the prices of something at a car dealership let alone a menu...

    Property under 50sqm

    Hi I am not familiar with the Sydney property market but I am sort of shocked that you are looking at under 50sqm with a $1m budget. With that sort of budget look for something larger with at least 2 bedrooms and most certainly stay away from any dedicated student type accommodation with $1m...

    Property under 50sqm

    Hi For investment reasons I would say give it a pass. Having said that we purchased one in Box Hill, Victoria a couple of months ago for the following reasons which may be applicable in your circumstances: 1) We paid 50% ($110,000) of what it previously sold for back when it was new in 2007...

    If you were PM.

    Hi Whilst a touchy subject I would like to see aged pensioners who have nothing else but their $1million home be forced to sell these houses and buy something at half the price or even cheaper and live off the remainder during retirement. If an aged pensioner is self-sustainable financially...

    High Yielding Shares Again

    Hi all I will try to reply to all the people asking questions on what I am doing. I am not directly managing any of the 50 companies that I choose to invest in, I simply do some investigation into which type of companies I want to put some money into and then look at some of the specific...

    High Yielding Shares Again

    Hi I have been buying a little bit of shares starting a couple of months ago. I am still on an extremely steep learning curve so no good news from my end yet and probably won't be for many years! I will continue to buy in very small lots of around $10,000 per month. I have no...

    Can I buy 3 properties with 350k?

    Hi Would you consider purchasing 2 properties and having 50% loans on each? Good on you for looking at the risks of each scenario. Regards, alicudi
