Hi all, I haven't posted for awhile but really need some opinions here on what you would do. We bought an investment property that we are living in and now we are moving to another state. Things happened over the past 2 years to where we have not been able to make the needed repairs to...

Well there is something called common sense and good will. I would just let them out of the lease and solve the problem with the neighbor's dog. Shotgun ;) You could be sued for something that happens on a property you own.

It depends on how much fast food we get or lunches we buy at work. Hubby probably spends $40 a week just on work lunches while I never go out for lunch. Let's say including cleaning supplies maybe $200 a week for 2 people. Now for the really important questions. Who does the grocery...

Vinyl. Much easier to clean and last longer. You ever see a house with some horrid avocado green tile from the 70s in a house and it is still intact? Cheap carpet starts to look like crap in a rental after a couple of years. Traffic wear patterns, stains, etc.

Yeppers, I heart my SAAB.

You mean those deadbeat relatives who end of costing you every time you are around them? :D I think the saddest thing is the people who saved and saved and lived like a pauper and then suddenly drop over from a heart attack and never got to enjoy anything they worked hard for. Or the ones...

I want to start coming to the WAIP meetings but from what others are saying, I'm glad I missed that particular one.:) Anyway hope to meet some of y'all at the October one.

45 views and no replies? I take it nobody has done this before?;)

Hi All, We have bought a place that has an existing house and enough land for 4 units. What would be the best way to structure the loan? We have to live in it for the 6 months to get the FHOG and it is currently tenanted by a good long term tenant. Are there any advantages to having...

Well I am at the top of my career as a consultant and I am pretty bored with it. I did let myself slack and get into a negative mindset about my work and frankly that does nothing but hurt me. So now I am back on my game and it feels better when I go in and do an outstanding job and be the...

Thanks for the helpful replies. The quad option sounds interesting as does fixed up a dumpy flat somewhere. Aaron, when is a good time to call. Cheers, Ms P
