I like Steve Cramp and I'm certain he does good work, unfortunately I found him a tad expensive.......I suppose as the saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'.

yeah correct, but if you don't get into the housing market now, you'll never get in. On the other hand, if you spruce up and present your current house well for a sale of approx $50K over it's current twin in the same area, then manage to grab a bargain in a better area for approx $50 cheaper than its twin in the same location, you've not only made $100K with no capital gains tax to pay (other than agent fees and stamp duty), but you're now in an area that has more potential for capital growth. You can't do any of that if you aren't even in the market to start off with......hence why I said to Penny that she should get into the market by any means possible ASAP. Rents will get crazy very soon with vacancy rates at record lows, especially when the FHBG goes and 1st home buyers disappear......RENT = throwing dead money away, hand over fist.

Lol, is report writing a prerequisite for Mods or something?? Story of my life!

love ya Ben.......but not in the family way

I like the front of fishy's hoodie but prefer the rear to have Kietz's design

LOL Steve have we met?! 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.

lol, some of the biggest druggy kids in Adelaide live in Burnside, and pinch money from mum & dad's millions to buy their stash!

thats the answer I was looking for and in effect, you've just answered your own question.. Very wise to do just that, cause too many peeps procrastinate for years and opportunities go begging, then when they finally get the guts to do something, prices have double or tripled. Great stepping stone IMO.

Can definitely see the advantage of a smaller block ie. less maintenance etc but the larger block will always be more appealing for the average family and investor especially if it's more than double the size. 300m2 is tiny as though.....my side yard alone is much bigger and situated in the Adelaide Metro just 8km from the CBD. I'm guessing the new home would be smaller than the older one as well. Also if you're talking about an old bungalow or character house that can be restored, it will eventually be worth double the new home......other thought would be to knock it down, build 2 or 3 townhouses, sell 1 or 2 and live in the other if you don't like too much land. If you were talking about a new home on a 450 - 500m2 block minimum, then that would be your perfect scenario. Devine are renown for overcharging on squatty little house & land packages then using the FHBG as a tool to sell their little doll houses. Do your sums, what is a 300m2 block worth in that area??,,,,,add the cost of a 3 br spec home,,,,,,and I'm guessing it'll be less than what Devine want for their packages. Speak to a developer, residential builder or even a real estate agent if you know one that won't just be looking at you thru $$$ signs.

Yeah the other alternative would be to go all out for the Compro VideoMate Vista E900F at twice the price....twin tuner model

Nice Chad Lol Luke, does she know about Andrew yet?!

Steve, Tossing up one of these 2 from MSY....what do you reckon? Leadtek DVR3200H Compro VideoMate Vista E650F

Mathew, I don't know who you bank with but I'm with the CBA and if you have enough business with them you may just qualify for a wealth package which includes a Viridian - In Line of Credit style account at approx 5% for up to $50K

ahh cool....you happy with it Steve?

lol, it's not a real party without Patrick and his flamin concoctions........what about the Night boy and his new girl??

haha, too true gotta get myself a HD set top box for the office TV........anyone got anything 1/2 decent they can recommend? I'm guessing there's not a lot of differences with set top boxes, they're so cheap now.

lol, like the old Celeron 300 to 450 I still remember my old Cyrix P166 that used to blow Pentium 150's away

Luke one of these days, someone's gonna stop these kids and give them a warm welcome if you get my drift......I would've chased these buggers non stop until I caught one or vommitted! On another note, check this! Got this in the mail today and the time happens to coincide with video I took of a chic carrying grocery bags from Coles at Elizabeth City Centre to the carpark. So pretty much anyone I have an issue with, I can put in a false police report and have one of these sent to them ROR

haha, you're further south than me, lol If the mob from the Gully go, put me down bud.

LOL Kye, of course it is.....no one lives down south that organizes anything lately Hope you know what you're doing by advertising a free for all.......members have a tendancy to do the wrong thing and advertise the address elsewhere once they get it. Not that anyone on here would do that.......you hope.

Fixed for you

lol, 1/2 the field has been wiped out already......someone should remind them that it's a 12 hr race

Kietz, I editted your 1st post for good reason.....keep slagging businesses and you are out of here permanently!! You've been going good for awhile now (I even reduced your warning level) don't blow it now mate.

can you say highlights "smarty pants" EDIT: Lots of Turbo EVO's too

OK you girls with your pretty pics.........Bathurst 12 Hour FOX Sports 1 on now
