Hmmm... If opening multiple cards is a hit on your credit file, then is closing them a positive influence? Is having multiple cards that are never in default with no late payments that bad? How long until things improve on your credit history? Across all my cards, my credit limit is...

Is anyone successfully doing this on a massive scale? What are your experiences so far? Link To News Article

Thank-you Thank-you to all that replied. That gives me something to work with and I'll see if I can learn to do a bit of sketching in a CAD-like program. Fun fun.

Thank-you all for the replies. My questions are as follows: - what is the first step in explaining what I want done and to whom? Do I sketch it up and take to architect? Do I go to a draftsman? Do I need to talk to council at this stage? - What are the overall stages to do the following...

Hi, has anyone lifted and built underneath in the Brisbane area (even better if in Moreton Bay Region). I've read a fair bit, but need to ask some seemingly fundamental questions of someone that has done it. Please reply if you have. Thank-you.

What's the yield? ;)

Google vans have been driving around taking pictures of surroundings to add a further feature to Google Maps. Currently, Street View has only been done in America, however, people have sighted these vans in Australia also. Basically allows you to see what a street looks like in 360...

I am arriving on a 40 foot catamaran. Not sure what it's worth, I don't really look at such frivolous figures *sigh* Yes, I am catching the CityCat.

Hello all, How will everyone find each other on Thursday?

Hehe. Neither of those apply. I am enjoying everything so far, but would like to mingle with investment-minded people at some stage.

Hehe. A few years back, I rang the ATO and said that I need to declare interest that I have earned in my savings account. That year I had earned an immense amount: 47c I first asked: do I have to declare interest that I have earned regardless of the amount? Yes. Secondly, okay, I'd...

Sorry Winston, I think that is correct. However, in my scribbly notes from talking to several people in the RTA, I have marked out *No Bond Lodgement* clearly. It seems like a grey area as the owner-occupier is living right there with the boarders / lodgers.

Information I have recently gone through all this as we have a PPOR that is big enough to accommodate share accommodation. In Queensland (Gold Coast in particular): * Council allows up to and including four residents other than owner-occupiers / family. * The RTA is only interested if...

lol Who dang callin' me da weird? *spits tooth out of mouth*

hehe - I was thinking more along the lines of a couple of blocks away or on the water. Yeah, Broadbeach is going off. Gold Coast continues to grow at a rapid rate, however, the road infrastructure is not doing that well to support it. I know they are now thinking of putting in a light...

Yeah, property near water (non-unit) is pretty darn expensive. I agree that the Gold Coast doesn't really have a centre, but with Surfers continuing to grow and now heaps of new high-rises popping up in Southport, I see Southport as, at least, a very prominant HUB of the Gold Coast.

Bazza, Where abouts do you live on the Gold Coast? I partly live in Southport, so I have seen it grow from 'the centre' to 'the mega centre' - so to speak.

Far out! You can still buy a house, duplex or townhouse for that kind of money on the Gold Coast. Not sure about businesses, don't really like going down south - too much traffic :p There is a constant ridiculous figure of people coming to live on the Gold Coast each year, and despite not...

"Live in the zone" haha - sounds like some kind of adrenalin activity. Maybe the only way to enter the complex is via skydive :) Looks pretty decent. Any idea what price they are going for?

Gentrification - now there's a word I haven't seen for a while :) By all accounts, Southport will continue to grow and pretty much 'connect' with Surfers Paradise. I call it: Southpolitan Paradise Kinda catchy yeah? ................. no haha Too much green tea :(
