What's the cost these days? Cheers Tom

G'day all, long time no post. Just had a call from a tenant, her and her partner have been in the property a few months and their relationship is on the rocks. She wants him out and is asking my advice! :confused: They both signed the lease, he has lost is job and won't pay his half of...

Got my first IP through the club because I needed a bit of moral support and had been tracking them for a while. They helped provide the momentum to get me going, I wouldn't buy through them again because I have the confidence to do it myself now. They have their place, just do your due...

Talking to Abraham Very interesting thread. I have an open mind and certainly believe in the power of thought and our individual ability to create our own futures. I've read Esther Hicks' "Ask and It Is Given" and I just can't get past the talking to Abraham thing. Am I taking this too...

Thanks again everyone, great advice as aways. Trump

Thanks guys. I can't use a professional package because I'm "between appointments" at the moment having taken redundancy from my employer of 18 years. I'm having a look at businesses and trying to work out what I can afford to buy. Regards Trump

I am thinking of revaluing my properties to increase my borrowing capacity, but I was horrified when I saw the cost. Basically it's 3 properties; PPOR plus IP1 and IP2 $345.00 mortgage documentation on IP2 $445.00 mortgage documentation on PPOR and IP1 (x collateral) $297.00 title...

Etax was OK before I acquired IPs, you really need an accountant unless you feel comfortable that you understand all your IP deductions. I prefer to discuss with someone now. Cheers Trump

I am in the process of taking a package, which is quite good and buys me 12/15 months. I am not going to rush into my next assignment, I am going to take a little time to assess where I am and make sure I follow a path that aligns with my strengths and desires so that I can really enjoy this...

Following in freeatlast and corsa's wake I too join the legion of the retrenched. It's a great feeling, if a little scary. As a 50 yo with no passive income (2 x -ve IPs) I find myself clinging slightly to possible internal opportunities but feel deep down that this is the perfect time for...

Great post Aussierogue. You're right Learningman, we have to think. The trick is to use thinking as a tool and not allow it to be a continuous noise that detracts us from the present moment. Great stuff is achieved through thinking through problems, and if the individual doing the...

There's a fair bit of stuff on the forum about the IC, if you do a search you will get a few perspectives on them. I bought my first through them and it was generally OK. I lacked a little confidence and it was good to be guided through the process first time out. The purchase price was good...

Another book suggestion Thanks for the tip Duncan, I liked the program and will follow up with the books. On the subject of living in the NOW, here's a great book that really helps you understand what that is about. "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. Only $19.95, great value and an...

Thanks Bonecrusher, great post. I've got 3 boys coming through; 19, 21 and 23. The middle one has the BMW and no spare cash, he has read Rich Dad and understands but at this point is consumed by his desire to impress others. Hopefully he'll see the light some time soon. I keep plugging the...

I can tell you the situation is very similar at IBM's main competitor in the IT outsourcing space, the other, slightly smaller, Texan blue. There's a long queue hoping for the gates to open. Many people have sacrificed a lot for the corporation over the years and there seems to be a groundswell...

Chrispy, I applaud your courage in inspiring this discussion. I'm like TomL, I avoid medication. I sometimes take an anti-inflammatory for back pain if I have an acute episode after doing something stupid around the house. Recently I tried Nurofen Plus, which contains Codein. I...

Absolutely agree that we should be addressing the root causes; stuff like an education system that fails so many, high youth unemployment, exploitation of the young and willing through casual employment ahead of real jobs. These are long-term issues. In the meantime we have to attempt to...

Thanks and an update on HSW Thanks as always for your responses. We've had the disclosure meeting and the disclosure was complete and very open. They shared the sales figures for all their stores for the past 3 years so it is easy to assess the financial performance of the business. I have...

Love your work Sim, the best laugh I've had in a while.

Partly inspired by Geoffw's brave leap into the business world but largely being restless after 30 years in the corporate world I am seriously considering a franchise. Howards Storage World, spreading into SA after what looks like good success in the East. I have 1 PPOR and 2 IPs, 70% LVR...
