Hey mate Great to see you actually taking action and investing in property. I do agree with the above post but the fact that you are online trying to get answers and help shows that you are pretty switched on! Good stuff SharesPropertyMoney.com

Hey Guys - This is the funniest Investment Video I have seen. Do you think you were angry when you missed the recent 40% rise in the stock market? That's nothing compared to Hitlers reaction! This is GOLD. Very Funny Video - YouTube - Hitler Misses the Bull Market...

Great post Erin There are thousands of 22 year olds who are living at home and not paying rent. Unfortunately most of them are donating most of their money to the bars and clubs that they go to on Saturday night. Here is a young kid who has has the maturity, dedication and commitment to...

Hi I think it is a great idea! I recently did one of my rental properties and was rapt with the results! here is a before and after. Cheers Banjo Smyth SharesPropertyMoney.com BanjoSmyth.com

Good Post I think the main Investment Plan that Everybody should have when they are investing in property or the Stock market is to know. . . . When you are going to get in & When you are going to get out Before you begin Im sure you have probably heard this saying in relation...

Hi Mate The best way to decide what to do when your renovating is to think what you would like if you were living in the place. Oh and remember that it is usually the woman that make the important decisions in a relationship - Like which house they are going to rent. So make sure you do...

The general problem or negatives with high rises is the fact that there is no limit to how many places can become available. If you buy a great apartment in the 'new 40 story' tower then that is great now but in a few years time there might be another 'new' tower that is 50 stories high...

Favorite Jan Somers Quote I had a quick look through my copy of More Wealth from Residential Property and couldn't find the exact quote but from memory it goes something like this. There were 3 frogs on a Lilly pad and 1 of them decided to jump off. How many frogs does that leave on the...

Hi Guys I think it depends on how much Time & Money it is going to cost you? Sounds like its a pretty straight forward job eg. not pulling down or putting up walls. Are you doing it yourself or will you get a builder? I would try and think of it this way. Imagine that you are...

Hi mate Think you answered your own question :) Personally if I am living away form the city then I want a nice block of land and an 'escape' from the city - not a unit. But that's just me I Guess :) Cheers Banjo

Great Job! $450 on the Kitchen is a really good effort. Especially considering you replaced the tiles. I just finished a similar thing but used tile paint to keep the budget down. Great Stuff! Cheers Banjo Smyth www.BanjoSmyth.com www.SharesPropertyMoney.com

Hi Guys Its great to hear some positive (yet heated) discussions on the current market situation. It's not all doom and gloom, we still have our health and if you barrack for Geelong then football is great too :) But seriously, I agree that there will definitely be some good...

Hi It can definitely be a long and drawn out process. I would recommend that you find someone who has some expertise in this area (and who you can trust). Whatever you do don't take the Real Estate agents word that it can be sub divided or split. Do as much of your own research as...

ASX-200 vs Sydney Property Whilst this is a great question I think its important to always remember that within the ASX-200 and Sydney property there are probably going to be opportunities to make money. Especially within the ASX, as the great thing about shares is that they don't have...

Hi guys I definitely agree that polishing your floors is one job that you should leave to the professionals. Why? 1. Its a horrible job 2. It actually quite a hard to get a really nice finish without any bubles etc. 3. Using a professional is relatively inexpensive - somewhere around...
