I skimmed over this thread and noticed a few books mentioned, not sure of this one has been mentioned already. I read one a couple of months ago called Web Work Travel, written for online solo entrepreneurs to find cheap destinations whilst they run their location independent ventures. Plenty of...

Like most of us, watched The Wolf of Wall Street 2 nights ago. Sensational!

^ Yes it's been the suspicion that some airlines have been doing this recently, bumping up the price a little on your return visit to their website, knowing that you're more inclined to purchase. Easiest way to avoid this is to visit a random website, clear the cookies in your browser then...

Houses and farm land The last 2 purchases have been houses with double development potential (renovation & subdivision) so that's my strategy going forward.

Yes a step in the right direction I believe, especially if it leads to interest rate discounts and similar benefits. I'm curious what other "positive" information they'll be able to put on the report apart from the VedaScore.

AirAsia has a very low cost business class, the quality/service isn't as great but you do have a big enough seat. Cathay Pacific have large premium economy seats as well which is worth checking out. Do you have points/membership/status with any airlines or alliances? This could work...

Employment in town has been suffering a bit since the slow down of the mining industry. Had a typical 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom double garage place up for sale in OceanEyre since April, a few open inspections and no bites...a lot of similar houses on the market. Just listed another place today which...

I have done this when looking for land a couple of years ago, sent about 30 letters out, they were personal letters but short and simple at the same time. This was in regional towns, and the response rate was very high about half the people responded within a day or two wanting to discuss...

Heading to Peru, Chile and Argentina in July. For August am looking for something a little different than the usual tourist beaches, maybe Micronesia, Seychelles, Maldives etc.

Having stayed in half a dozen AirBNB places this year, I've considered doing this in Cairns. Even a spare bedroom with bathroom could net $90/night in some cities. We rented a campervan in San Diego a couple of months ago for $45/night, and the van's only worth $7,000. Not a bad ROI!

I didn't learn as much as I thought I would, but don't regret going along. Although there was too much focus on pump-up rather than useful info with a great example being Mal's ridiculous hard sell at the end to the point he was being heckled on stage. The only thing I bought was Anthony's 2 for...

I can recommend Sara Carbone of Stephen Carbone Real Estate in Seaford. 8% I think. Ph: 08 8327 0009

Likewise, thanks for hosting it Xenia. I disagreed with a couple of statements Steve made, but still learnt a few things so was worthwhile coming. I'll be along to the next one. :)

I grew up in Seaford and still visit there from time to time. The worst (but not ghetto) area would be the older area with some housing/ex housing trust homes on the western side of Commercial Rd, but these houses can command higher prices because they're only a 5-10min walk to the beach. Quite...

I moved closer to the city to rent a place about a year ago mainly because of that old cliché - location, location, location. 10mins to the largest shopping centre in SA 10mins to large hospital & uni 10mins to beach 15mins to airport 15mins to city 5mins walk to train station & 1min to...

Spot on there cloudyday! One of my favourite quotes is along the lines of: There's no point being the richest man in the graveyard! I'm trading my 98 Corolla in at the end of May for an 06 Subaru Liberty. Whilst it's not my dream car, I'll be more than happy with it over the next few years...

I bought the DVD pack for $6k early last year and did the boot camp shortly after wards. Very informative and gave me the knowledge and ideas I needed to get going. However, there were a few issues: - Support rarely replies to their emails even though they claim that they provide free...

You'll find most developers work to a minimum 20% profit over development costs for reasons like budget blowouts, property market fluctuations and project delays. As you're only building the one house, you could get away with a little less. Just keep in mind that it's better to work on...

Never have talked about it and won't do so until a week or so before I quit (to motivate others, not create jealousy). Most staff at work suffer from tall poppy syndrome when it comes to anyone young so best to not mention it or just lie about what I do in my free time. I even ask other property...
