Forget the bond, you'll need your landlord insurance! Ive never had any success trying to clean off smoke stains from ceilings. If you try and paint over them they will show thru when the paint dries. The only way to get them off is to paint over with a stain removing paint (BIN) type...

Just like cluedo, that was too easy.... regards and thanks chatto

Andrew, why would you 'stear clear' of large townhouse complexes?

Yawn.. Shadow, can you please pinpoint a year and date of the next boom so I can invest accordingly? :rolleyes:

I believe this was the case in Japan, where the divide has grown between the have and have nots, because of lending criteria at a .BS% lending rate. What insentive is there for a bank to lend for a non existant return?

As long as you have fall in your trench then it will not pool and will run to storm water, consider putting a pit drain in as well. Throw some plastic down, in the trench as well and then backfill with your blue metal (20mm). Work out the levels for your pavers with string line, concrete...

Ok, so the head of Economic Analysis at the Reserve Bank is a fairy? I dont follow NR. I though the paper clearly outlined the current climate we are in, nothing too abstact, just the facts. Im beginning to think that your views are resembling an emu with its head in the sand. I have...

What happened to the Canadians? Shouldn't it be the Camero? :D

I recall reading 'Target Iran' which stated that a massive point of contention between Iran and the US was over the Iranians wanting to change the petro-dollar to the petro-euro, which would devalue the US dollar as the key currency of oil. It seems the Chinese are in a position now where they...

oh dam I missed it, was he wearing a cowboy hat and spurs? :D

It would take a hell of a lot of $$$ to put solar on every roof and wind turbines on the coasts to mitigate some of the power consumption. I was trying to elude to a change in thinking that would drive alternate (not necessarily green) asset classes out of the woodwork.

NR, I was actually trying to gain some insight into perceptions of black swan events, in this instance the GFC and the repecussions of it and what this means for the future. The 'green revolution' was an example that I think may play out, after all it is not your nor my thinking that will...

NR you often talk about the GFC as a black swan event that has and is changing the face of economies worldwide but I would like opinions as to whether the GFC is not the black swan event in itself rather that the repecussions of it may be. The point I am trying to make here is the black swan...

Agreed, but have also heard of long term tenants looking after properties quite well, tenant selection is critical here. Please steer well clear of inuendo or I will get offended.:mad: There are some good value properties on the southside, with places like Sunnybank doing well. A good PM...

007, Do you not think it prudent to play on the safe side of the LVR fence in present times or are you suggesting business as usual?

Here is the link to the black Swans' speach in London http://www.alp.org.au/media/0309/mstres131.php And as usual those who went to uni for 3 years to get a degree in simpicity took the quote that had the best impact and published that.. "This crisis began with rising delinquencies in...

You've been copping a bit of flack over your views NR as being too D&G but I find it refreshing to hear views other than the usual 'it will be alright' view. Holding on to bubble mindsets will do none anygood now I feel. It is quite healthy to tighten the belt and stop living to excess even...

I know we are not in Japan but property prices plunged and rates went down with them, not inconceivable. The thing is it is really hard to borrow now because the rates are next to nothing, what incentive is there for the bank to lend unless they will make a quid? If people are now conditioned...

I was hoping the quality would start to come back into the building industry with more tradies looking for work.
