All aboard !! All excellent fodder for thought. Maybe also check out Navras strategy - using that home dollar 6x etc etc. not a bad way to start. You have committed to a journey that in the long term you will be glad to have embarked on. Above all else, educate yourself further - read...

now THAT is what the web was made for.

ok - so why not rent exclusively to smokers ???? I wonder what % of tenants would pay a slight premium for the privilege of being able to smoke inside? Being a non-smoker I dont know what value you could place on this. Maybe advertising for smokers could put you in a unique position of...

Meta, this has been talked/argued/reflected/prophesised about in its various guises in many a topic. General synopsis is that there needs to be a delicate balance of action, education, self belief, commitment, quality of life, sleep at night factor, charity, and many more. Thats a lot...

I wonder if W.Buffet is investing heavily in chocolate options.

But .. when said light fittings blow up, can you write them down in that year completely?

I agree with you GW. A couple of points- - RK Actually does take into account CG. He doesnt advocate predicting markets, but does wants people to still perform fundamental analysis on an area before purchasing - get to know the area, walk/jog/drive around it lots, talk to people who live...

I've STILL got a headache from drinkning my $3Billion of wine. Musta been a heluva party though.

I tend to use seperate cells - split by month, so I can plug in diffferent draw-downs at various stages. I simply use my projected cashflow spreadsheet, which has a few lines on it for the projects i'm doing. This allows me to be flexible in plugging in anticipated costs etc - not everything...

I generally use the thread rating function more than kudos.. I only use positive kudos, but only rarely when someone has contributed above and beyond imo

Great topic - this should be a part of every serious investors gameplan. What is the endgame, what are the alternatives, what is plan A, B, C .. (Z?). My endgame comes in two parts: 1) I plan on being so good at what I do, I wont have to spend much time doing it. Time is my most important...

I generally believe stats from the valuer general, and the ABS. They have no vested interest. When researching an area (well - i dont research stats for an area really, I focus an a specific type of property in an area), I get my stats from the local real estate agents. Generally I have found...

The pdf links work for me .. just right click and Save As. Wow - theres some heavy going there. I'm glad I bought my country retreat property in them thar hills. I might put in an underground shelter to protect myself from the terminator scenario.

G'day. I've used MF Simmonds in the past - 0 fee. Lots of work, done professionally and above reproach. They even worked on helping out on a loan that in the end they werent going to get a commisson from. I dealt with Kylie, not Medine. I will use them again.

Can you use a cash bond against some of your equity to provide an extra income stream, improving your serviceability? oops - or will that stuff your lvr anyway?

I'm in no way endorsing the following, but if you want to see the type of reasoning that goes into selecting 'safe' shares (if you believe they exist) then you could check out the navra website and have a look at both their selection process and their list of current approved shares for their...

You could pick up the phone and talk to M.Yardney - Metropole Properties.

I would question your responses to the case studies too. It could be better to highlight that there are information packs available for potential customers and their legal adivsers to ensure adequate protection is in place.

Hmm, you may want to fix the sentence that says Looks like there is a bit missing on the end of the sentence?

It would probably be a little more meaningful if you could single out the yield for Brighton in particular. Is it an average house for the area, so you are confident the yield figure is correct? Have you rung any REAs to confirm? Are there any short inexpensive (<5K) improvements that could...
