It seems there is a common element of guys + money = hoons causing a Somersoft and Antilag crossover. So who on here is a member of Antilag?

Mr Westy would like to borrow one to transport his car to RaceWars April 10-12. Last year he drove his competition car up there and promptly got it yellow stickered by the police so he'd like to take it up on the trailer this year.

I've put this under psychology because it's about playing the mind game to secure a deal. As a rule I never ever tell a REA that I'm a developer and I also tend to tell white lies. Some may be grey lies :) Case in point. A development site came onto the market which I wanted, the price...

Can we discuss a hypothetical for my education? Scenario: a development of 6 apartments which you want to hold not sell. This would need a commercial loan to do this. BUT at the end of construction and the apartments are on their own titles do you..... a. convert to 6 individual...

Our new property has no gas so would need LPG. LPG is pretty expensive to use for an instantaneous system though so I'm trying to look into electric powered ones. It will be the back up system to a Solar HWS and is just needed if the water isn't hot enough. We will also have solar panels...

What product/idea/concept/room etc would you put on your PPOR wish list. I have a meeting with my builder on Monday about building our PPOR to talk design brief blah blah. I have a wishlist of desires but I'm sure there are a million things that people have found, gadgets, concepts etc...

Blacky and Westminster have combined super powers and in depth knowledge in fork ups to do a project together. Mission: get in, get out with minimal dramas (oh mwahahahaha) Site: found. Under offer with due diligence clause. Had been for sale for approx 2 years. We got a great discount...

I picked up a house in North Perth. $595k on a 460sqm block with a 3 x 1 house which is basically a 4 x 2. Good things about the deal: - block is R60. So I can build 322 sqm of apartments on it. (4 x 3 bedrooms perhaps) Nb density bonus allows up to 460sqm of apartments on this - has a rear...

As I venture into the world of not being an employee, I am considering what else I can do to make money besides my own IP projects. I now have a lot of skills but no qualifications in residential investing and developing. Is there a market for those skills I wonder? What can I do without...

I'm looking at a PPOR that has VERY federation style bathroom. I'm considering my options 1. Jackhammer and bonfire and everything new and modern 2. Retile and keep fittings and somehow update the look Current If I go with Option 2 then I'm wondering 1. Can I paint the burgundy...

On Thursday we are viewing a possible PPOR. From aerial photos I can count 20 (!!) solar panels on it. From the age of the house, it's possible they may have been put in when the Grid Buy price was decentish. If I buy the house, do I get the same Grid price or do I start a new contract? I...

http://philosiblog.com/2013/04/10/if-you-dont-build-your-dream-someone-will-hire-you-to-help-build-theirs/ After a difficult day at work yesterday, two people paraphrased this saying to me. One was a colleague and one was my 14yo son. He said "If you aren't following your dream, you are...

Sorry if this has been discussed before but can we have classifieds/for sale section? It would stop people using Caveat Emptor. It doesn't need to be property related - could be anything really but include for sale/for rent. Most of the forums I'm on have this section.

After months of deliberation and strategising (is that a word?) I am "retiring" :D At the tender age of 39.5 I'm going to: - work harder on my investing - do my Tafe course (Cert IV in Residential Drafting) - be a better Mum to our 3 kids - have time for a week long 40th lol! I was...

Seeing as the laundries are going in for the Gwelup villas I thought I would share with you the non traditional but super awesome way to have a clean looking laundry without taps and power sockets everywhere for washing machines. If you are designing a laundry with a bench then you use your...

I need some out of the box thinking of where I can look for a new PPOR. Criteria: - preferably 20 mins, max 30 mins from JSR school. Cnr Reid Hwy & Mirrabooka Ave. We need to drive there EVERY school day for 13 more years - we have survived 12yrs so half way through our 25yr sentence. -...

I know some of you will think I'm nuts but it's been on my wish list for awhile to go get my Cert IV in Residential Drafting. I've been talking about it for 18mths or so :rolleyes: http://www.central.wa.edu.au/Courses/EngineeringConstructionMining/Pages/7227.aspx?cookieCheck=true I had...

GeoffW edit- this has been split off from another thread Lol! Yup :D The other pre metric thing I do is "penny for your thoughts"

So it's raining, raining, raining and many of the things I wanted to do with the kids are no fun in the rain. Tomorrow we are going to Bounce the indoor trampoline place but I need some more ideas for Wednesday onwards when we are in the cbd. I'm travelling with DS14, DS7 and DD5 which is...

DS14 told me that I should get a wireless hard drive to connect the ipads in our house to for movies/tv shows. And so that I can stop running out of space on my Macbook. ME38 didn't want to look stupid so I'm now googling to work out how I manage to work in IT and have no idea about this...
