Michael I wouldn't mind finding more about the income managed funds. From your thread it follows that they deliver more than 6-7% net annual return for you to benfit from investing your LOC money in them. I always thought it wasn't possible to find a SAFE investment paying more than the...

I think Mark Laszczuk meant to question the validity of George W Bush's election given the Florida vote count controversy etc. :) Nic

If you live in or close to the area you are interested it, you can come to a few open inspections, to see how many people are showing up and if they are filling applications. For example, In Bondi 10 years ago every place (in a lower price bracket at least) would attract a dozen or more people...

I know someone who might be able to help you. PM me with your email address, and I will send you his details. He is in Brisbane. Nic

I have Bendix Duomatiic, about 6 years old. Never had any problems with it (touch wood). The capacity is 5 kg washing, 3.5 drying, which is rather small, especially if you have a family. Since it is a front-loader, it is very economical with water. It has 2 drying settings - warm and hot...

Mark, I thought your friend might also like to know Herron Todd White reports state that the Sunshine Coast has bottomed out (for houses only). So now would be a good time to buy. Nic

Have I totally missed the news of the land tax being removed on cheaper properties in NSW? I must be really behind. :o

Has anyone noticed, the boomer generation keeps expanding? Since when did the 1966 was a 'boomer' year? Then again, maybe that's why a little girl called me 'nana' yesterday?

Thanks Glenda I will give him a call. Nic

Thanks Glenda. Was he thorough? I want another building inspection done on my IP. The house is now 6.5 years old and some problems are beginning to appear. I have already had the builder fix some, but I can only see what's obvious. I need a good building inspector to find the potential...

Thanks ani their website looks good. Do you know anyone that actually used them? Nic

Hi guys I am looking for a good building inspector in Sydney. Could anyone recommend a good one? Thanks Nic

Come on, guys, he/she might just be dyslexic. Also, after a couple of weeks sleeping 4-5 hours a night, my spelling is not much better. As for Melbourne becoming the new Sydney, I've just read somewhere this is going to be Brisbane's job. i.e. Melbourne ruled the 19th century, Sydney - the...

Tom, one more thing you could try. It's possible your friend did not intend to sting you for the money. You say he has always paid his debts before. Maybe in this case he has really fallen on hard times. Was hoping his situation would improve but it didn't. Maybe he was too overwhelmed...

That's right. I don't remember them advocating buying in Sydney in the last couple of years. But they did say 12 months ago the worst in Sydney was over. I remember, because it surprised me at the time, as my feeling of the market was totally different. They might be closer to the truth this...
