Sigh.... my gorgeous girl has chicken pox, so I admit it - after 2 nights of her sleeping in my bed (well, sort of sleeping!) I was totally exhausted last night and collapsed into bed obscenely early. :o Bummer, I was looking forward to seeing Steve again.

Panda I don't know why certain companies won't deal with overseas people despite being in an affiliate group like commission junction. Personally I thought the whole idea of groups like that is to make it easier for companies to widen their affiliate base. Still, that's the way it is.

Hi Panda Your question is one of those "it depends" type of questions! There are some programmes that you will be able to join, others you won't. Probably your best approach is to look at some of the bigger affiliate groups - these are sites where heaps of companies register and then the...

There is something to be said for selling the occasional property and realising the profit, in order to make borrowing money a little easier. At least if you're in the position of running your properties as a business. Currently if I buy a property it might cost me, say, $50k for 20% deposit...

Hubby went into a bank yesterday, with a US$ cheque in my name, to deposit into our joint account. I had signed the deposit slip. However the teller refused to accept it. She said that I had to sign the back of the cheque. So I want to know - WHY???? I can understand situations where I'm...

Hi burstock I wasn't the "investor in the crowd" at the meeting you went to, but I have been at some of Rick's previous info nights. I can guarantee, I'm genuine!!! Certainly Julie, who has also spoken as an investor in the crowd in Melbourne, is genuine too. Hope that helps soothe the...

I was checking out some new listings on www.realestate.com.au this morning, and clicked on one that looked interesting - only to discover that it's an agent I've been to and a Jenman agent at that?!!! I've checked their agency website and it definitely says they're still a Jenman agent. What...

A couple of advantages for the seller: They sell their house! can be very relevant to a slower market Some people know they'll blow a lump sum, but a trickle of repayments can make their lives easier for the buyer: you don't have to find all the money up front

Hi all I have a situation where I've recently dealt with a particular agent within a RE agency, and was less than impressed by him. There's another house listed by that agency that I'd like to take a look at, but I really don't want to use the same guy. Is there a protocol I should follow? I...

My guess is that he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. He probably knew how hard it would be to get a permit and how long it would take - so figured he'd be better off just building the thing. He's gambling that once it already exists, council won't be able to do too much about it, and he'll cop...

I find it astounding that nobody twigged to what he was doing. :confused:

Brief synopsis... hmmm... that's tough! But here goes.... This isn't quite the order they spoke in, but I've grouped property and share speakers together. Dymphna Boholt - often mentioned on this forum, she did 2 sessions, one on asset protection and taxation - excellent stuff. The 2nd...

I've just done Financial Mastery in Melbourne. As many of you know, I've been around investing for quite a few years, and have done lots with both shares and property, let alone read bucketloads of books and attended heaps of introductory nights (and even one 3 day course!). All I can say is -...

I can breathe again.... It's working! :D

All my saved settings in realestate.com.au appear to have been wiped. I'm definitely logged on. Is anyone else having the same problem? My skin goes cold at the thought of trying to reconstruct it all again... :eek:
