Most people I know in the industry (100's of FIFOs) live in Perth. Very few live over east. Those policies of flying people east for free have long gone. And very few people are based in the east. Interesting approach...

Rivervale has had a huge chunk of apartments go up. I think prices are set to fall with the massive supply. It's hugely convenient, yes, but a lot has gone up in the last year. I don't have much knowledge in real estate, but who generally buys these small OTP apartments? Investors or owner...

Ended up getting the quote. It was close to $8k :( Another question, for those that are building triplexes, or have done so in the past. Did you get 3 temporary meters installed? Surely they can run the power off one meter during construction? I ask, as Western Power charges $340 to remove...

Thanks Tano. Interesting to note that it's higher than what we paid to sell our Sydney property which was about 1.65% or thereabouts.

All three of your posts advertise this business. I suspect this is your business and you are just advertising?

At work :( Have fun :)

Thanks Terry. Yes they do, albeit in a separate section, but I don't think you can pay them off separately, so ill shelve that idea.

Would it be okay to register a supplementary card to handle all the IP related transactions? So all IP expenses would be on that card, and hence it wouldn't be mixed purpose. I know one of my cards allows up to 99 supplementary transactions.

I think you have misread/understood the OPs post. They did not mention anything about language or SE Asian domination??? Singapore is more of the Switzerland of asia. Our tax regimes are not 'friendly' enough for super large capital flows. Hence private banking being much larger in SG than...

I had some food in Beijing from a street vendor at approximately 2am, then my friend started explaining what gutter oil was....I didn't feel so well after that.

Agreed. I was a little surprised at the price. It's something I'd love to have as a PPOR. Granted it needs a fair bit of TLC and there looks to be no garage.

In Baldivis.

I hear that place is also not so good. My colleague built a house there and had a little bit of buyers remorse. Im not saying it's a bad place to invest. Mt Druitt in Sydney is an undesirable location for many people, yet the prices went through the roof :)

Just make sure you take a drive there on a friday or saturday night and know what you are getting into.

I think people need to stop relying on FIFOs and using them as a reasonable point in their discussions. There will be very few left with the way the industry is going (both with streamlining operations, use of technology and productivity increases and of course more impending mine closures) and...

Thanks, sounds great.

I'm constructing some units and intend to hold them and rent them out. I note that my builder has a 'maintenance period' like most builders, where issues like cracking plaster etc can be fixed. Has anyone undergone this process before, and how did they manage it if they had tenants in their...

My company had plenty of 457s. Many of them had masters degrees, phds and were very good at their job. At the time, the industry was scrambling for people and they looked all over the world. Lots of them are now PR. It worked out well for everyone.

Thanks, ill give it a go today :)

Has anyone applied for a power dome themselves? If so, what did you put in the 'contractor' details. Did you put your builders details?
