He all Just after some advice regarding a defaulting tenant (in Qld) who leases a corner store from us. They have been in arrears all year: I issued a Breach Notice in January, they paid rent (but no arrears) in subsequent months and then stopped paying altogether with no communication...

speeling Guys it's is always "it is" the possessive form is "its" as in "the cat chased its tail" Just one of those quirks of our language. Sorry to be pedantic.

I'm with Sash- maybe a few banks doing a bit better than passing on .4. I think we might see a couple of .42 or .43's just so the banks appear competitive and not like some colluding bloodsucking cartel which of course they aren't

Just a few points to clarify #the other debt is personal debt? #you are looking at either a cheaper ppor without selling an IP or # at buying a better ppor with partly financed by the sale of an IP (which will be finished in 4 or 5 months. If this is true- clear up the personal...

The agent might have been using you to "condition" the seller. The agent should get back to you regarding the success (or otherwise) of the offer. The agent is legally bound to convey the offer (in Qld anyway) unless they have written instructions from the seller to the contrary. If you...

For me, this topic is really about the standard of housing we Australians should accept for ourselves and our fellow citizens. I have thought for some time now that ONE answer to the affordability issue is to lower the standards of housing. Like cars and many other items we use and...

"Bad spellers of the world UNTIE!"

What about the indiscriminate and invariably incorrect use of apostrophes? Only 2 villa's remain (is that "villa is remain" or the possessive form?) speeling mistakes- often confusing pairs (loose/lose, sort/sought, steal/steel, quiet/quite) "Our climate is the forth most equitable in...

This is a great thread and an excellent example of how useful this forum can be. To get such expert knowledge, variety of opinion and respcetful discussion is a terrific boon for all those on the forum. Added to that, the posting of relevant links/information/resources. So congratulations...

I have been a REA for 4.5 years. Previously, I was a teacher (15yrs) and had invested in property as soon as I started work in '89. I have seen plenty of unethical practices and acts in my time in RE and there are some (consistently) unscrupulous agents. Equally there are some very, very...

Thanks for posting the link- always a good read.

It sounds expensive but we had a colourbond garage (6x9x2.7m) about half the area and it cost 15k- (a few years ago so it would be more now).

Have a look at Bundaberg <200k houses. Plenty are under offer on realestate.com http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=d&t=res&ty=&f=20&p=10&fmt=&header=&idir=&c=85185692&s=qld&snf=rbs&tm=1226552689 FHB are buying (we don't operate there) but I was talking to agents who do and...

Wouldn't be fixing rates juust yet- should go further yet (down that is) Statistically about 80% of the time you will lose- like trying to beat the bookies at the track :o But if you can get a rate you are happy with and can afford and the certainty appeals then go for it.

You can get an LPG dedicated falcon- no need to convert one. Lots of good cars out there mentioned in the thread. Given the criteria I like the Nissan Pulsar- quality, small but not too small and they should be cheap as they were well priced when new- compared to other makes. I think...

the good, bad and ugly at Bargara The market today in Bargara is not that bad. Sales volumes are down for sure but the last sale I was involved with was a house I sold a year or so ago for about 2% more this time. Sold in about 6 weeks. Seller is looking to buy a PPOR in their home town. I...

A beauty but it's a pandora's box you might have opened if we are going to scrutinize real estate agents' written skills (and the "effort" that goes into the ad copy and photography for that matter) I think I might have a file somewhere...

Very thought provoking. Thanks Pete:)

Thanks for the joke evand- a beauty! I just got my coffee and upon visiting the Coffee Lounge noticed many threads about economics etc which is fine but I was after something a bit lighter (absolutely no pun on the ensuing discussion intended).

See the ol' Arts Degree was worth something... Don't worry- not many native born Aussies would know the definition either- "incapable of being expressed in words" Re the partners -indeed! Not bad coin at all. Maybe I should have finished my law degree.:o
