    WOW aren't you lucky

    So many people said that to me recently about being lucky. But it wasn't about owning a property. It was about having income protection. I had 5 months off work with an injury and I was covered by personal income protection. So many people questioned me about who I was going to live/cover...

    Income Protection Insurance - where to start

    Let me assure you it will be of great comfort knowing that you are covered. I recently activated my income protection for the first time in 17 years. When the Doc told me I may not be back at work for 6 months it was of some relief knowing I had that protection. It wasn't a workplace...

    Tips please - how to win sale by set date

    I would wait until the deadline. If you put in a reasonable offer the agent will most likely leverage off this to achieve a higher offer off someone else. This happened to me recently in QLD.

    Project Management Fee?

    Property scouting or sourcing of the site would be 2% on it's own. I am looking into having a project managed at the moment. Size of the development might determine charges as well. A 5 unit site total build cost of 1.2m will be around 8k per site. Or just under 3.5 %. This would include all...

    Is the worst now over for Gladstone...?

    I often wonder how many people who invested in Gladstone actually went and visited the town and what their DD was? I did consider purchasing a few years ago but after making a trip up to Gladstone and seeing the amount of stock coming on the market and the decline in the work force I decided...

    Our Night Of Terror

    After all that has been said and done it look like I will make a full recovery....but will take a while. It will leave a few nasty scars on my arm. This will be a good reminder to me of that night and maybe think how to handle things better and be prepared. As it turns out a teenage party down...

    Our Night Of Terror

    Thanks Angel, I didn't see your post so don't worry! I had cut 3 tendons and think it was 2 nerves. No feeling in 3 fingers. I was still drugged up when the plastic surgeon told me the damage. I have an appointment in the morning to remove my bandages and splint. Will be 6 months of rehab...
