    Downer, ACT

    26 Fenner Street We were looking into Downer two weeks ago for our next PPOR purchase as well, we spent some time looking at 26 Fenner Street...we thought it had some really good qualities about it if we turned it into an IP a little down the track (nearly in the RZ2 region, corner block, high...

    yeah a little too soon, I am no expert on etiquette but I would imagine you should wait for the fire to go out first?

    Salary - $35 K Increased to $47 K

    I know plenty of EL1's (Executive Level 1) that would only fit the criteria of a 'Level 1'...only in the Government I guess. This thread has been an interesting read, especially since I am currently working as a public servant but have recently been offered a job in the private sector with a...

    ACT dual occ / subdivision questions

    Slightly off-topic, has anyone noticed that on allhomes now when you view a house and have a look at the map you can now select to view unimproved land values, as well as territory planning zones...probably a common feature, but the first I have noticed

    Borrowing money from family

    Yeah the in-laws were (still are) wanting for us to borrow up to 90% (even though as it currently stands we will have the funds for 35% of the property), originally they were wanting to lend us the money at an interest rate of 4%, and they only increased it to 6.5% when I kept declining saying...

    Borrowing money from family

    Jamie has been a lot of help throughout my first purchase (and has been very understanding considering the constant delays of receiving information from both myself, as well as information from the builders), and for that even if I did choose to take the in-laws up on the offer I would have...

    Borrowing money from family

    First of all, I appreciate everyone taking the time to reply to my question as well as outlining some very valid points. I do like the idea of 'borrowing' the money and putting it into the offset account, now I will just have to try and teach them that this is essentially the same as us not...

    Borrowing money from family

    I was reluctant straight from the start, so I may have misunderstood the offer...but from my recollection it wasn't an early inheritance (if so, I am intrigued by the 6.5% interest rate). I tried to explain that if they had that much $$$ sitting there that they should be investing into other...

    Hi SS'ers, Our PPOR will be ready in the next few months and as such we have gone through a mortgage broker (Jamie from PassGo), to start arranging for finance for our property (looking at borrowing around 350k, and having around 110k in offset). Earlier today my partner and I were...

    North Canberra - Renovation Opportunity

    Agreed, I honestly cant recall seeing a cheaper property in Canberra in the 2-3 years that I have been looking...if there has been, then I havent been looking hard enough! Having never reno'd, and just by having a quick look at comparisons in the same suburb I reckon that after a quick...

    North Canberra - Renovation Opportunity

    Hi Guys, Just thought I would post a link to a house (I am by no means connected to this house in any shape or form), while I am looking to do a little bit of a reno in the near future this looks like its way out of my league...just thought I would alert some of those who are keen on reno's...

    Paid onine surveyS

    I am a member of a few online survey websites (have been for around 7 years), in all that time I haven't made too much money from these websites (~$1000). For the past year or two, I have gotten to the stage where I don't bother doing the surveys anymore (average around $2 for 10-15 mins) and...

    The great Oz property crash of 2005.

    Yeah I accepted the Golden Key thinking it was a great opportunity, but in the end it was/is pretty pointless (especially in Australia) and disappointing...although each time the panel heard in an interview that the candidate was a golden key recipient they almost started drooling.

    The great Oz property crash of 2005.

    As a Gen Y I don't want to get too involved with this discussion, as I personally see it as alot of Gen Y bashing going on by some people. Just thought I would shed some light onto something that Belle just mentioned in regards to graduates having more than one degree now-a-days to get a job...

    Mortgage Brokers - What Makes You Tick?

    Thanks for the replies. At first I was looking at doing the course through Kaplan, and was willing to spend the extra $500 more than its online competitors as to attend the workshop that it provides...but considering all of you had agreed that the certificate itself is about as good as some...

    Mortgage Brokers - What Makes You Tick?

    Admittedly I am not yet a property investor, but since lurking through the forums 6 months ago I have enjoyed reading more and more about property investing (as well as reading some other forums and property investing books) to better acquaint myself. As I continue to educate myself I find...
