They did this once and changed it back almost immediatly becuase of the mess it caused.

http://www.rethinkingschools.org/archive/21_02/lego212.shtml I found this article very interesting. At the start the children very much mimicked the real world. Some were showing innovation and entrepreneurialism which could have lead to extremely successful futures. In the end they are...

Wouldn't the cost of the schedules themselves be deductable? That would help a bit.

You will still be able to claim the FHOG later. You can essentially claim it the first time you buy and live in a house. You would lose it if you bought a house as an investment property, rented it for over a year and then moved into it and lived there. However I would suggest sending an...

All the intelligence in the world will get your nowhere without the wisdom to wield it.

The main reason I asked is because a good proportion of properties out there go up for auction and I'm sure many of those would be good buys. That being said. The place I looked at today had no bids during the action and reverted back to sale by offer. Another house I looked at yesterday the REA...

What is the general feeling towards auctions? I'm hunting for my first purchas at the moment and I'm a bit tentative about going for an auction. It's not the actual bidding that I'm concerned about though. My questions are. 1. I will have to go to 95% LVR. I would need some time to...

This question lead me to believe that jingo wasn't aware that PIA came form somersoft. That is why I posted the link. When I was first interested in property I read More Wealth Through Residential Property. After that I googled property investment forums and found my way here. It was quite a...
