I am sorry to hear about your loss. Although I was only married for 3 years, this happened to me. I was also in my mid 30`s. Nothing in life is terminal, only transitional. Some people come into our life for a short period, some a long time. However they all will leave our life at some...

Dont think all regional places are same as cities etc. I brought a house in Nanango 7 years ago. It has remained flat, if not actually losing a bit. Rent has gone down as well. BUT I did buy at a peak, its dropped ever since. I brought it to live in, but that never happened. I don't see it...

Wow that looks great. But a bit over the top for a container home...... Still making plans for mine.

OK thanks. Well hopefully it will get some capital gains, plus I already will have paid deposit etc. Plus I will have payment history as well. Just need to get rid of my large credit card debts etc.

OK still sorting out vendor finance for block of land. I have a meeting with Vendor today. All things being equal, how hard is it to getting bank finance for a block of land? I think if i put a shed or whatever on it, doesnt add much value. So in a about 12 mths or so, I would like to...

Well still looking for a lawyer who is willing to do a vendor contract. Seems none are around. The vendor as seen a lawyer who is a specialist in Vendor finance and he suggested the following. "Vendor finance is the concern plus the time frame and interest adds to the complication and...

True I guess, never thought of it that way. However I thought a lawyer would have a standard template for it. So I didnt think there would be a lot of effort involved. However I have tried two now.

Hi All, I wouldve thought some one on the forum wouldve done a contract before. Is my post in the wrong section?

Tried the local Darwin expert on vendor finance recommend by the Vendor Finance Institute. He wasnt intrested, all to hard because I am not in the NT, he then changed tack and said he has a few cases coming up and couldnt help me....... Tried another lawyer who wasnt intrested. So still...

Any one done this yet? I am considering doing a container home in Darwin. Not sure if I can get approval yet, Also need to find some one who is willing to draw my plans up and do the engineering etc.

Hi All, I am buying a block of land. Long story short I a may be moving to Darwin, I cant afford to be paying the high rents and dont yet enough deposit for a house. So I am looking at a block of land a bit further out. It does have electricty and thats about it. So will put a Caravan on...

Mackay on the news tonight, not looking good? Anyone think Mackay still a good investment? To late for me to get out I think......

Not at all. Just facts, my facts and reality. I brought on the peak several years ago, then GFC came along and Mackay hasnt really recovered since. Now with all the Coal Mines looking at winding back, I cant see Mackay booming any time soon, rather it will start to slide further down...

Mackay is a dead duck, if I could I would be selling my unit. But i owe at least 40k more than its worth. Its only going to get worse before better.
