Chooks ? I used this word for my chickens sometime ago on facebook but none of my non-aussies friends recognized it. Many asked me about the meaning and when I told them it is for "Chicken" they laughed as Aussie slang :rolleyes:

I don't like it either. So many advertisements and so little info. But for the novice, it could be helpful.

I enjoy money which gives the freedom and security and also love the challenge.

Ahh, this post made my day :)

Congrats. IP #24 ?? Are you holding all of them at the moment?

Very true.

I am also eagerly wiating for your post IV. Like others I always enjoy your posts on share.

It looks great. I am inspired now :)

My PPOR is in Merriwa and we enjoy living here. But growthwise, I don?t think it is a good place. We bought the PPOR on January 2009 for $365K and I don?t think it increased more thank 20K by this time. But rental wise it is a good place I think. I have a granny flat which can be easily rented...

Did you have any side effect at all ? I am always struggling to loose weight. So far lost 3 kilos on 2 months by mostly cutting carbs. But it is hard for me as I have a sweet tooth :( Anyway, congratulations!!!

Nearmap is offering licenses for casual use starting from $49 per month single state ($100 nationwide) on a 12 months contract. Did anybody purchase such a license? Would anyone try a group buy? Thanks

It looks like this is a common trend in Perth. My PM in Willetton hardly replies to any email, and never gives a call back. Recently I sent an email notice to sack my PM with cc to her Boss, no reaction/reply from them as if they haven't even received any email :D.

Trust my word - do not buy anything north to Currambine. Too much supply (trinity, alkimos) is slowing down growth if any. House price hasn't gone up much in this area (even in a period when Perth is taken by a storm of short supply and some areas have seen a capital growth of 150k+). Rental...

Thanks all for your reply and I appreciate that. So I can increase the accessible equity above 80% from the same lender, but I have to pay LMI for the extra loan due to increase in equity. This is exactly what I am after. I won't mind a few thousand dollars for LMI. Perth market is going...

Hi All, Here is my scenario: Investment Property Loan amount: $600K (87% LVR when the mortgage was taken, so LMI included), lender bankwest Rpdata estimate: $860,000 (range $800K to $950K) wth confidence level low - (too optimistic to my view. A 4x2 house of the same block size and...

It's very devastating. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-22299929

Thanks Jason, this is exactly what I wanted to know.

I can see your point. Although very new with BWA, our experience hasn't been particularly great. Is there any independent agent who does valuation for fees? We are not a great believer in appraisal done by REAs.

Hi Rolf, Thank you very much for your reply. We are with Bank West and the LVR is 87%. We purchased this house for 662k and in the same suburb land around 400 sqm is selling for around 400k whereas our size is 810 sqm.

Please don’t be hard on me as this may be a silly question. We bought an IP slightly below market price due to it’s bad condition two months back and renovated it. The renovation was mostly cosmetic. We retiled the laundry and bathroom floors, installed vinyl flooring to all bedrooms and living...
