    New Split System?

    Yep but same brand and quality so therefore the same company support you need to deal with when, or if, something goes wrong and it is on this basis I recommend people look at other options. I have contacts in the wholesale trade so due to getting a new system at the right price this time I...

    A/C installers Nowra

    Not meant to question the quality of Peter's work but with the need to travel 200km (2.5hrs) return to put in a single AC may take some convincing even if he is a nice bloke :) But thanks for the recommendation as I may try him out for a job in Dapto:D

    New Split System?

    Back pocket ................. $4K for a repair does that to you and reienforced by the lack of a response from the Company and local Dealer for a unit that was just over 5 years old (by a few weeks) that had a major melt down (2 x PCB's, 1 x Compressor, 1 x Fan Assy and Re-gasing) so not good...

    How do we finance our car purchase?

    I believe Stratton's offer competitive packages over banks/CU/BS/dealers for car loans depending on your situation: https://www.strattonfinance.com.au/car-finance/information.aspx

    New Split System?

    They always have "cash back" offers several times a year and they do that to suck in the unsuspecting consumer to their poor quality systems. Just cross Fujitsu off your list of possible replacements and move on, it's just not worth the hassle.

    A/C installers Nowra

    I would recommend anyone except Dunn & Williams who are the Fujitsu dealers in town. By crossing them off the list you kill two birds with one stone and that's from 1st hand experience. :rolleyes: IP or PPOR and Supply/Install or Install only. I would say Simmark in Nth Nowra maybe worth a...

    Changes / tightening on servicing for investors

    I think ANZ have already left the arena based on comments I heard on the ABC tonight (Roger Montgomery) and in the Australian today. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/financial-services/anz-stops-discounts-on-investor-only-loans/story-fn91wd6x-1227362674847

    Illawarra region for CG

    Some changes have definitely occurred since then with at least 1 no longer there, another going by the end of the year and another two reduced but would still be on the list (just). May sound bad but in reality its OK as Serco (SSDS) has gone but replaced by Wilson Security / Transfield /...

    Illawarra region for CG

    I would disagree with Unanderra and to some extent Port Kembla, as with most areas there are good and bad within all areas so you need to be careful of exactly where in these suburbs you may look at as both suburbs have properties getting close to $1mil mark so not every one is from the lower...

    Yellow brick road

    All I know is YBR is part owned by Channel 9 as declared by Mark Bouris when he was doing a self promo on the NRL footy Show last week. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Entertainment_Co)

    loan contamination and interest apportionment

    The best analogy I have read on the impact of redraw on deductibility of a loan. So good even I understand it now when before I thought I did but this has proven I didn't. Cheers

    The Block Triple Threat Auction Results

    +1 I remember a few weeks back they were talking about +$2mil price tags for the units and to reveal reserves of between $1.3-$1.5mil was clearly not a true reflection of actual assessed market value and most likely aimed at "building the hype" for ratings for next series and water cooler...

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    The first thing is it's not the $5K you invest that determines the viability but rather matching your expected consumption with your expected generation capacity (system sizing) which means you may outlay as little as a few thousands or it could see you needing to outlay much more. From my...

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    The double storey usually adds to the cost basis therefore your at the $1/W end of the scale which indicates a cheaper system and as stated above this comes with risks in relation to quality but you will find people that say who cares its cheap so it a personal choice. As your future usage is...

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    Just for interest sake, as stated above, what type of car do you drive? I am sure you do not use the same philosophy for all the decision when it comes to how much you have to outlay. For me yield or return on investment or capital loss/gain or cost of ownership, its all the same.

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    While there is nothing wrong with your position as clearly you done your research and made a decision based on that (some don't) my final point would be to state that last time I looked it was only about $1k difference between them as an example a 5kw JFY Suntwin (~$1100) vs a 5kw SMA Sunnyboy...

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    This is one thing that I found from my research and it not about the "aesthetics" more about the quality of the build and components that go to the longevity of the product. From the installers and inspectors over on WP solar Forum there are no good reviews so that was enough for me to steer...

    Want to install Solar - where do I start?

    +1 But you probably won't find many recommendation for Jinko Panels but they are OK but considered a cheap Chinese panel and not "the best globally" and you definitely will not get any good ones for a JFY inverter (sorry Perp). Some say (including me) to get the best inverter (SMA...

    Thanks Matt. Best offer at COB today was in that range of "above expectations" that I indicated offline and confirms the hot market in the Gong no matter where and what is for sale. Now its up to the REA to close the deal hopefully early next week.

    Illawarra region for CG

    But what if he couldn't sell in an acceptable timeframe or didn't get as much as he thought for his current house and still over paid for the new place? They have a limited income so cannot afford to own both properties at the same time. If it was me that's what I would have done but my...
