Nice work. I particularly liked "I said no I think you (thevinvestor) own it at this stage" also I loved that you'd got the inside goss from the tenents.

Joe - That's a blanket statement that helps no-one. IP's bought start / before the boom / bubble and correctly financed will do fine. However those that bought late in the boom/bubble and are highly leveraged....... :eek:

Hmm this thread is a bit quiet.

I take it you're hoping for valuations to drop?

G'day all I used to frequent here oh so long ago. Back then I was a tad trollish and for that I apologise. I've managed to get most of the chip off my shoulder (but I am still cranky that I can't afford to buy on a single wage) so here's to me hopefully being able to add constructive posts...

I disagree with you and find your tone somewhat aggressive. Like yourself I am a native of Townsville. One day I hope to return when the opportunity comes around. Aren't the Cowboys exciting to watch? Looking real good for State of Origin although the Bronco's last game was a real shocker...

Done. Would have loved to had this chat in person :mad:

Firstly Congrat's on the good news. For what it's worth I'd hold off until your bundle of joy arrives. Borrowing what you can afford on two wages, when you intend on dropping back a gear to one wage would be a tad risky. Before bub - 2 wages - less risk as if one of you lost your job you...

Townsville has not had a tradition of being pro-service. When the army was looking for a place to set up in North Queensland they had a hard time. When Townsville relented they specified that the army set up in an undesirable area of town. I learnt the meaning of AJ in Townsville - Army Jerk...

Umm. Last I heard was that the Army are planning on leaving Townsville and are headed to Darwin. Big things happening for Darwin but I fear that Townsville will receive a nasty nasty body blow. I recall way back when. The good folk of Townsville wanted the Army out. So the Army paid their...

Any property seminar held on the GC should be shown extreme caution.

I'd give you kudo's for that post Aceyducey but I have to share the love around. Great post :)

In a drafted army people would pay a lot more attention to what our military does because one day they just may be personally involved. We aren't on the US governments s**t list and subsequently haven't felt their wrath. Makes it easier to be objective. Doesn't mean that they are right...

Yeah that was funny. I recall seeing him in Fatigues. Looked real out of place and word was that they were made especially for his generous figure :) The defence forces are easy to screw over as we have been real lucky to have lived in relatively peaceful times. Wasn't the end of the...

Don't know about you but just because the majority of the country think he's cool doesn't mean that he is. Yes he is in tune with the people. That's why he does so well in polls. Again, going with popular opinion isn't necesarily the hallmark of a strong leader. How much political intestinal...

I've allways had a problem with the For Sale signs screaming "great investment" etc etc. If it was such a great investment (or cash cow as I saw one place marketed) why is it being sold?

My missus is a kiwi. Anyhow her brother is a minister for a church (yeah that's enough info). He was approached by the local candidate and asked if he'd vote. Told candidate that he was an Australian resident and couldn't vote. Asked how long he'd been here (14 years) "You should become a...

Yeah I don't like the Lib's at a federal level nor their bridesmaids the Nationals (when will they represent their supporters in the bush?). If you want a real laugh I was a member of the Liberal Party when Howard got in. I handed out "how to vote cards" :D I feel though that his madate was to...

Thanks for that

I can't see the current Government doing anything meaningful (unless W tells him to) Official inflation figures are rather suspect. How many widescreen Plasma's do people buy? So what if they are cheaper now than they have ever been? When they base the rates on the staples I think we would...
