Hi, We've got a 2 bedroom house in Paddington, Brisbane. It has been raised and built under but was NOT raised to legal height. So the downstairs rooms used for bedroom, lounge etc are technically only storage areas. I'd appreciate any comments or feedback on the following questions. 1...

What is a reasonable hourly rate to pay for an accountant in Sydney to deal with business accounting, personal tax matters and super fund accounting/auditing? What rates are others paying?

Hi, I was quite interested in this company as I had read some positive comments about them plus also a few negatives. I got an SMS the other day informing me of their property "workshop" in Sydney this weekend. http://myusaproperty.com.au/ I did request some info from them on their site a...

I've got an IP in Brisbane and have been discussing with the next door owners about selling part of the block to them. The block is square with a small triangle of land extending off the top left of the square. This triangle is the piece we are talking about selling. I'm wondering what...

Hi, Can someone recommend an air conditioning installer or inner-west Sydney? I've been trying to get one installed for a few weeks now but they either A) don't turn up to quote, or B) turn up to quote but then never actually provide the quote. Thanks EC.

Hi, I've had a strata report prepared for a property I've exchanged for - I'm still within the cooling off period. There's an agenda for the upcoming annual strata meeting on Monday. It includes this item: Defect Reports - Your Executive Committee have included three quotes to obtain a...

For anyone who is interested, the BBC has an interactive US map giving a state-by-state blow of every election since 1948. It's pretty cool because you can slide the bar across and see the transitions between elections. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/us_elections_2008/7693060.stm Most...

Interesting article: http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/5101198/money/real-estate-giveaways Some attractive incentives. I wondered how much margin the developers would be making on a $400,000 property in the first place?

No, not "Joe the plumber". Well, maybe. I spend a decent amount of time on forums, reading newsletters and so on. It appears to me that many others on this forum do the same. I feel I've become detached from what is happening the "average" person on the street. Spending time in this forum...

Time to learn some new words. Gotta love Google. Just saw on Fox business news that all of the US markets are Limit Down meaning that in pre-open they have hit a limit whereby the market won't accept any more sell orders until the market opens. They are also talking about Circuit Breakers...

I though it might be fun to get predictions for the ASX low point in a thread that we could look back on in 6-12 months time and see how accurate they were. I don't actually believe that anyone can predict accurately but it will be interesting to see. So although I wouldn't normally do so...

Can someone please explain to me the relationship between the RBA cash rate, LIBOR and consume mortgage rates? How, and why, does the RBA cash rate, and/or LIBOR link through to consumer mortgage rates? EC

Why are threads mentioning Steve Keen being closed down by Sim? It seems to me that some of the existing Keen threads are quite long and have moved into other areas. The last closed thread was starting to explore some interesting and radical ideas. I agree that simply having threads which...
