Can anyone recommend a good accountant in Melbourne that understands trusts and property investing? Actually i don't mind using an accountant in another state if they really know their stuff, it's just that i'd like to personally meet with them initially and interview them first. I've done a...

That's strange... i thought Dale had a lot of expats as clients. Maybe he doesn't want to for some other reason?

I also saw that and thought what a great way to get a heap of $$$ from Macca's to promote their food as "healthy". Maybe i'm a bit cynical but i'm guessing this guy is in the process of contacting Macca's about his feat and asking for some $$$. That Jerry guy who does the Subway ads is doing...

I didn't get any hits but i noticed Kerry Packer has almost $20,000 owing to him... but i'm not sure if he needs it considering he earns this amount every 10.512 minutes according to here: http://www.chaser.com.au/PackerWatch/

Sounds like an interesting read. I'll pick it up next week. Brenda you say that you don't receive any money from the sale of the book... but do you receive ANY money from Geoff or Dennis for all the promotion you do for these guys, i.e. appear with them on TV, have your photo taken with them...

Sorry... i forgot to mention some things to do with shopping. They aren't necessarily for saving money, but to alleviate boredom at Big W: 1. Get 24 boxes of condoms & randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren't looking. 2. Set all the alarm clocks in Homewares to go off at 5...

I think this is technically theft! I know a guy who was removing an old mattress from next to a St Vinny's bin when the cops came along and charged him with theft. Why would you think the charities would pay to have these items removed when they are working? It is illegal to remove...

You can double this amount if you breed and pop out a baby :D

... and what was that compromise? - Go half/half? - They pay it all? - You repay it all?

Most good ideas often come when you're in the shower, or on the toilet. Apparently it's because you're electrical brain rhythm is in the Alpha brain wave state which is when we are at a relaxed state and are at our most intuitive. During our normal conscious state we are in the Beta brain...

I have a friend who was recently cut off from the singler parent pension because his daughter turned 16. BTW, this really encourages kids to leave school at 16 so they can get a job and help pay the family bills. Anyway, he was getting about $500 a week nett from this pension! I think that's...

Yes, replace it ASAP, be a good landlord and don't be such a tight arse. Who cares if the tenant is an Asian student? What does this have to do with anything? I've got a middle aged white male tenants who doesn't know how to change a light bulb. Maybe he's not confident with changing light...

Not sure about the bladder control, but they actually stuff their butthole with a plug made of grass, sticks etc so they don't do No. 2's in their sleep.

LOL....... yes

I'm sure there are good and bad parts of Turkey. Like most countries you'll get a better return in the regional areas, especially in the north and south east near the Iraqi and Syrian borders. Yes inflation is high (~26%) but it has come down a bit from 60%+ several years ago. The locals deal...

Thanks for the info Lplate, it sounds like a good way to collect the rent but how does it work? :confused: Do the debt collectors arrange a direct debit of the rent into your account, or are they only used if your own arrangement with the tenant fails? I assume the debt collectors don't...

Hi Duncan, another classic is "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton G. Malkiel.

No, i doubt it. I think Geoff was also saying

Geoff, when you say that Dale is your new accountant, is he actually your accountant, or will you be using one of his associates? I'm curious because i'd like to have Dale as my accountant (wouldn't we all) but i was told it's not possible as he's too busy and i will be with one of his...
