I watched Snowtown the other night on TV. I've never been there so it may not be representative of the area but :eek: Cheers, Beef.

Thanks everyone, plenty of food for thought there. I think the point about being clear of what exactly you want is very important. Expressing that can be a bit more difficult, so I think next time I will draw up some page layouts with an old school pen and paper. With our previous site a...

Sadly the colourful and witty dialects of our past seem to be disappearing, but language is a living thing so other terms and phrases replace the old ones. This is painfully obvious every time my teenage son attempts to communicate with me :confused::confused::confused: Usually their dialect is...

I just find it a little difficult to find anyone who can give a final price/quote. I understand it is a creative service rather than something that can be weighed and priced accordingly, but It seems the "how long is a piece of string" answer is a standard among web developers. I have been...

No worries Blikkies, I guess the main thing to understand is Neg gearing will lever up your gains in a rising market giving you a magnified return. This is because you are accessing a return on money you don't actually have :cool:, but..... it does exactly the same to your losses when the...

In addition to non retrospective application, it may be worth noting that Keating's move in 1995 didn't entirely remove negative gearing, it changed the income that a loss can be claimed against. During this period you could still negative gear but only against the income produced by the...

Negative gearing is a sacred cow and I can't imagine anyone wanting to touch it while the name Paul Keating remains in people's memories. How many times has it been mentioned in the recent slash and burn to make up the shortfall talks recently? None that I am aware of. Even when it was...

Have to agree with the points about registering before you can buy anything. Straight away "Register Now" makes me think of my inbox cluttered up with the latest offers from a site I may never need to visit again. I just want to click on pay now and enter cc details. I'll always use...

Generally speaking, how much time does it take to create a site like this and how much would it cost? It seems there are many DIY services on offer at the moment that offer stylish templates at what seems amazingly cheap prices, especially if you have had any previous experience dealing with...

I think these areas are far too large to generalise. They both encompass very varied areas, good and bad. You could start a sub-list of bad areas in each of these towns. I personally would avoid Coolongup, in Rockingham, but I'm always on the lookout for a piece of Palm Beach or Shoalwater...

A tax deduction applies to expenses necessarily incurred in earning your income. My guess would be that you demolished your PPOR. It is no longer your IP therefore the demolition had no connection with earning money from it as an IP. Even as an offset against the proportion of capital...

Ok... might just add to that ^:

:eek: Having to deal with 5 different tenants for 100 bucks a week each, "when fully occupied" :( 16% sounds great until you think about how you have to earn it. I'd also imagine in low rent situations like that, the first thing you should install is a turnstile to try and keep track of...

Add to that, hydroponic lights/fittings/scales and other *ahem* "indoor gardening paraphernalia". ;) Cheers, Beef.

Haha finally I feel that someone is listening: Sellers on eBay targeted for welfare fraud Then again I could well be delusional. Cheers, Beef.

I do a bit of trading in old vehicles of a particular make and model, not to make money but to trade up and expand my very small stable of usually fairly nominal worth rustbuckets. It gives me an excuse to spend large amounts of time out in my mancave ;) In the last few years I've noticed a...

I heard a funny quote on this matter the other day " If you have access to an IPO you probably shouldn't be there". My personal assessment of the potential for investment in this IPO went a little like this: Stats show that people are getting bored with FB in the developed countries, but it...

Stick em in the drawer with the AOL and MySpace shares. Be worth a fortune one day. Cheers, Beef.

Personally none of this worries me half as much as the absolute gouging that PM's fees and additions cut out of my gross. That to me is the greatest burden on WA investors. Cheers, Beef
