    A BIG thank you goes out to Ian, Jan & Sim and of course all the old timers that made this a great site! Unfortunately I haven't been all that active on the site in the last couple of years, however can say that this site (I should really say Community) has been excellent & got to meet many...

    WHITE Home group Broker

    Hi Probe, I personally haven't heard them, but know that there are MANY other brokers that regularly post in this forum & may be worth speaking to one (as they are IP savvy, you are likely to get more than loan advice)... Good luck with everything... Cheers, Manny.

    Next door neighbour damaged our property

    Hi FM, if he does repeat this form of "cleaning", just keep on returning his "goodies" onto his front lawn... Keep up the good work :) Cheers, Manny.

    tiles before skirting? unsure

    Don't forget to caulk the skirting to stop water from getting under the skirting (if placing skirting on tiles, which is the way to go)... But yes you are correct, best to tile first & place skirtings on top... I recommend caulking afterwards... Most volume builders however do place the...

    When to buy? So many questions...

    Hi Lostis, as per Jacque's you buy when u can afford to buy, however given the current climate (property's experiencing very little growth in most areas over the last year or two & some even going backwards), keep your eyes open as opportunities will arise & is a buyer's market... The main...

    Frankston Frankston Frankston

    I can't say Melton is horrible, however if given a choice between the two suburbs, I'd say you are more likely to get a higher % capital growth (better long term return on your investment) from Frankston... However given the current economic climate, it is a buyer's market (hence, keep your...

    2 loans sharing same offset account?

    I agree, just setup another Offset account once your Offset amount reaches the loan balance... Wouldn't hurt & I can't see you having any additional fees to pay, bank would just do it... Cheers, Manny.

    Leave as wood or tile over - toilet floor

    I would personally tile it, as over time the polish with shrink at places & if not careful & moisture goes through it will be a mess (especially if it is let out, tenants won't care to wipe water off flooring)... You can apply cement sheets on top of the boards & the just tile over, caulking...

    Can I still claim tax on the redraw from IP?

    That is why it is worth planning ahead & utilise an offset account just in case things do change, you have that flexibility... I swear by my offset account, has come in handy MANY times... Cheers, Manny.

    Coles - Friday - Proceeds to Bushfire Appeal

    Hi Sunfish, Coles is still the same, nothing has really changed since Wesfarmers took over "ownership". Eventually Wesfarmers may decide to look at ways to improve the business, possibly sell off Target? or even Kmart? but time will tell... (As Myer was sold off by ColesMyer prior to the...

    Which company for landlords insurance?

    Hi guys, I've made 2 claims to EBM in the past (few years back now) & got paid out in full both times... I still use them for LandLord insurance even though I have buildings covered by another provider... I personally recommend them... Cheers, Manny.

    Safeway (Worlworths) will also donate all their profits made on Friday 20th of February... Good to see them also jumping on board... So we shop @ Coles this Friday then Safeway/Wolworths next Friday... Interesting to compare their profits :) Cheers, Manny.

    Big TV

    Hi Kim, the Sony Bravia is a great TV... the last series, although had a slower refresh rate of just 8ms, it produced excellent colours... Due to the slower refresh rate, wasn't as good as some of the newer panels when it came to sports (although were great for movies)... The newer Bravias...

    Big TV

    Hi TB, don't be surprised if they are two different sets... the pz800a costs around $3-400 extra (still a 1080p unit) & comes with 3 HDMI ports (that's the way you know which one it is in adds)... the other one is the pz80a (still a 1080p unit) that comes with two HDMI ports (also doesn't...

    Big TV

    Hi Jacque, the Pioneer is the Rolls Royce of Plasmas, no one else comes close to them... unfortunately the current Pioneer range will be their last they actually manufacture, as the new series will be manufactured for them by Panasonic if I remember right (I don't think it was Samsung)...
