I said this last time, but the question relating to income (Q 33) has some pretty low income levels. I mean if the highest option is $2000 or more per week and this includes all income....this is not very high. Shouldn't this be lifted to at least over $4000 per week to be more reflective of...

I discovered this about a week ago. Investment Property game set up by CBA. www.investorville.com.au

are you aware that the contract size has reduced down to 100 contracts for options now? Tho brokerage rates have not yet reduced...but i expect there will be pressure on to do this soon. OCH Fees have been reduced proportionately as well. Don't really need a lot to get started - I started...

"In order to fund the Queensland Building Boost Grant and the abolition of the Community Ambulance Cover levy, the Government is removing the transfer duty concession for homebuyers purchasing homes from 1 August 2011. The concession was estimated to cost the State $308 million in revenue...

Obviously trying to market the Accelerator Fund to the wider public to increase FUM. Bit heavy with fees too: entry fees, buy/sell spreads, management fees, incentive fees. Have no issue with reasonable management fees and incentive fees for performance but not at the sacrifice of poor...

Having only just caught up with this thread my thoughts are as follows: Don't selling anything at the moment park all the cash in the bank until he works out what he wants to do (easily earn 6.5% per annum) invest in his own education about - learn about his options, seek independant advice...

Moo Fund renamed Accelerator and advertising on tv just saw an advertisement of tv for this fund, named Excela Accelerator and it turns out it is the Moo Fund or (Magic Moo Cow) fund renamed. Had a look at performance and whilst it is tracking below its old benchmark, the ASX50 Accumulation...

so once you've determined the income level, I guess next comes the source of that income. Am i to assume that most people here are planning on having property to generate that level of income per week? What strategy/ies do you plan to use to draw that income level?

milanista, Use this site from Logan Council to get a demographic profile of the region. http://profile.id.com.au/Default.aspx?id=310&pg=138&gid=280&type=enum but.. 31.9% born overseas (compared to the qld avg of 17.9%) 46.4% of residents are renters (compared to qld avg of 30%)...

Agreed - certainly to take advantage of these products and maximising opportunities of these. Even for an educated/active investor, if you didn't want to take the time to learn these strategies yourself, and you want to take advantage of these products/entitlements etc use an experienced...

Can i suggest that if you are asking here how you should invest your $100K then you shouldn't throw it into the market? You need to know exactly what you want. Do you want to self manage it? Do you have the time/expertise to self manage it? Or do you use some sort of managed investment...

I think this is ignorance. By the look of your post you assume blue chips are safe. Yes you can do no work on this portfolio but don't expect a great return. Even without analyzing your shares there is maintenance to do. My advice to the original question would be to spend time educating...

Thanks for the replies. I've got a picture of the kitchen, please excuse the quality. Sink is on the left hand side. At the moment, I don't believe there is room to put a dishwasher in without reconfiguring the cabinets. My thoughts are to remove the diagonal unit housing the oven and...

This is probably a really dumb question but I am going to ask anyway... I've recently purchased a house and am considering putting in a dishwasher into the kitchen. Trouble is there is no existing housing for a dishwasher in the cabinets, which look 5-6 years old. So will have to make some...

so in the event of a double dip recession or depression, what impact does that have on asset prices? I assume stock market and property prices crash, bonds prices drop for fear of default, food prices increase, gold/silver prices increase? Anyone help me to understand this please? OSS

It does look great. Definately same kitchen except oven and ranghood and handles. OSS PS Thought I should do the right thing give credit to Peter Spann who I learnt about Thermo Glaze from. Thanks PS!

Cupboards and benchtop were laminex yes. took about 5 days from start to finish including the bathroom, but it wasnt 8 hours a day for 5 days. But Kitchen and bathroom were totally out of action for the 5 days. http://www.thermoglaze.com.au/ OSS

I recently used Thermo Glaze to do a cosmetic makeover to a kitchen in an IP. They can prep and respray the benchtop, cupboard doors, sides of cupboards, kickboards, shower, bath, basin, vanity unit, tiles etc. Cost me $1800 for the kitchen below. They can do a heap of colours to suit your...

Agree totally - ditch your mortgage broker and find another who knows more about the lenders policies and procedures than the lenders themselves. OSS

Thanks Mystery. I'll put up a few more when a bit more light on the areas when stove's in, floor coverings down etc. Should be all done by Wednesday hopefully. I am very happy with it, and will consider using this again. Time will tell how it wears. One thing I was advised by Todd...
