I can call you when i get home or would you like to come and pick it up tomorrow

i will be going to the SAU-SA meet thingy so if your coming there then let me know mate

LOL Steve have we met?! :O

Seriously though, you may come across the odd Mr Nemer who thinks he's a gangsta cause he has the pistol he pinched from grandpa though.

Wish some of you guys new all the facts :sick:

What do you mean? that he is totally innocent? and that a totally innocent by-stander didn't get shot in the face and lost his eyesight? and that he got stuff all as compensation? and that Nemer only got $100 fine and suspended sentence? and that it took the public to almost smash the DPP's door down before he got approx 18mths (if that) then he gets released and re-offends again???

Yeah I suppose the public register is all wrong and the latest judge was just too harsh and didn't have all the facts!! :)

Funny you mention that, my financial adviser rents, but i assume he knows what hes doing, lulz.
oh he owns other houses, just not his.

Yeah tell us the whole story Damo.....he's clearly already in the market then and obviously believes in it otherwise I'd be advising you to go elsewhere bud.

Curious though, what's his reason for renting at the moment (dead money).....I'm guessing he's in between properties at the moment, yeah?

Cause I've heard about all the savings that can be had by renting ie. loan interest and bills like council rates etc but if you factor in the constant rise in rents, interest rates at their lowest in over 50years, capital gain advantages of owning a property and the fact that one day it will be impossible to get into the market (fact), then this renting busines to save a buck is a big bluff!

I'm with scandy, i am not buying a house until i get married. That way if she leaves me she only gets half which is what she is entitled too, no way i am buying now paying it off to in a few years having some girl leave me and get half of my hard work.

Also i'd rather be happy and enjoying life than worrying about a 300 grand mortgage that I HAVE to pay off, no if's or but's, unless I want the bank to take it back off me.

My advice to anyone who is currently renting.....get into the market ASAP by any means possible even if you're not in love with the property you're buying......think of it as a stepping stone.

In many parts of Europe and even in our eastern states, only the rich can afford not to rent.......we are heading down that road.

I've experienced 3 or 4 boom periods in the housing market since my first property at 20 years old and have never seen the market grow like it did between 2002 & 2005. Prior to that, it was very easy for an investor to positively gear a property, now it's next to impossible unless rents catch up to property prices, and I'm talking literally double the rent you may be paying now!

Reason for all of this, Baby Boomers are getting ready to retire and have bought up Adelaide in the last decade.....fact!

Yup baby boomers have been shown to be the most selfish generation ever!

My pet peeve is people who own more than one house, you can only live in one so why do you need more? Then I hear all this crap about how it's a great investment but all you are doing is making it harder for the little guy to get into the market.

haha, ill have to add that to my list of reasons to put off buying a house.

my biggest reason is travel, ive been planning a fairly epic trip for a couple years now, id rather do that while im still young enough to properly enjoy travelling (wink nudge) than buy a house, pay it off over the next 30 years, wait until such a time as im enough ahead to go for it, and then only go for a fraction of the time i can go for now.

a few months compared to a few years... ill take the years.

and thanks to some good friends of mine, when (or if, whatever) i get back, even if my family has finally gone to shit (which it will), ill always have a room to rent for f**k all. and i may end up inheriting my nans place in the next few years anyway.

LOL, selfish = smart IMO.

We've been hounded so long by a govt telling us that we're at zero population growth and that we should have 3 kids, 2 to replace us and 1 for the country just so we can support the next generation.

We've also been threatened to not rely on the pension to be there forever cause there will be more pensioners around than the workforce one day so who will support them.........so baby boomers are trying to be self sufficient in retirement and not rely on the X & Y's to support them in retirement........yep, real selfish :)

if anyone is looking for some advice on getting into the market, pm me for the details of the guy i use. He is extremely succesful in the real estate game and is very switched on. Setup a mate of mine, is now helping me get into it. Has at least 30 properties to his name so has his head screwed on pretty well.

Woot for day off, now to call some real estate agents about some properties.

yeah, its pretty smart thinking in that respect, but it does make it fairly difficult to enter the market.

and you know, people stop seeing the reasons when theyre getting annoyed. lol, so they see the boomers as selfish. cant blame either.

oh luke. is that new big ass harvey norman place looking for workers? lol, i need a new job.

agreed 100%.

How is setting yourself for the future being selfish? Some people work till the age of 65 then retire and rely on pension for the rest of their days, f**k that if i'm gonna be one of those people. Real estate is a gold mine if gone about the right way and i sure plan on trying to get into it.

+1.

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to be wealthy or comfortable with ones own financials.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
