Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

yeah thats the only issue, I kinda hate maths as a whole, but am quite addicted to statistics! Strange huh?

or perhaps i should just become a private consultant like my original plan and just continue to play with my own stock.

Play with your own IMHO.

Still need to meet the monthly repayments. Pot noodles for the whole family!

A lot of people just seem to pay the minimum monthly these days... I dread to think how much they wind up paying in total :D

$120k per with a portfolio behind a couple would probably get a decent loan. Especially if daddy goes guarantor with his 7 figure account with the same bank.

and don't forget... banks LOVE to give money out these days... They know most people will default and they'll get some fancy houses to sell off to the next lot of people they give a loan to :D

ps Josh how is the housing market right now in your sector of the world? have had an eye on a place for a while and i want to know how hard i can screw them on price!

PM me the address and I’ll tell you when they bought it, which means we can work out when they got finance to establish how hard they’ve been hit.

We’re finding only those needing to sell are actually on the market at present – Unless they are pre boom buyers who are already making a profit and looking at moving on.

To give you an idea of how hard someone tried to screw me; I was offered $950,000 for a property I had listed for “offers over $1,300,000”.

Still a buyers market for Inner Brisbane, just need to work out/find out every sellers motive/hardship etc.

Case by case, be picky. Don't get what you want then just move on. It could change at any moment though. We cannot get enough At Deco apartments in New Farm and have been moving them for good money, however the 5 – 10 year old no character filled developments have been like pulling teeth to move.

Not any more they dont! and to get somthing in Ascot you would be looking at like 600k as a bare minimum i imagine? Josh? Thats still gonne be a fair chunk of that money gone!

Cool I can find out that info, back in a sec, ours is a roughly ten year old townhouse in yeronga, plenty around so i cant imagine they are in big demand!

For the most part true. We’ve found they are asking for more deposit and proof of where it came from. EG: you can’t have magically got $25k over night and no longer do 80%, 95% and 110% loans

bought in 06 for 370k asking 465k

ps they have the same last name as me...creepy

You can get into 1970’s blocks, nothing too exciting for way less. There is a nasty little one bedroom apartment for under $300k, but it’s highly likely it’s cheap for a reason.

For something like what you live in, yes. People are also calling some parts of Hendra Ascot, which it clearly isn’t

I don't do much bank stuff... what does that mean?

Banks would loan 80% of the property value, 90% and up 110% to cover stamp duty meaning you only had to pay bank admin fee's.

send me the link. I wont stalk them. 06 depending on where it would have been the end of the boom. Again, depending on where it is market hasn't changed that much.

Without knowing facts or anything about this place, $400,000 - $425,000

yeah my sister sold her place that is like ours in Ascot about 7 years ago for 455k would hate to think what its worth now.

thats the range im thinking, If I can get it for that price then roll my personal loan into it add my 70k deposit my repayments should be less than my rent plus loan are now! Good times. Will send you the link

above average income, below average IQ, f**k this society.

ha ha sorry Josh just cant resist ;)

Ps im thinking about being a stock broker, I love stocks.

Plenty of idiots already in stocks. Surely you can't be any worse than them? It's all pretty much guessing when you get right down to it.

how the hell do you afford to live in Ascot on that sort of household income, we are close to double that and i doubt we could afford to live there!

Average for the entire area? Surely there are still more bums in Ascot or Bulimba as there are rich flamin mongrels

A lot of people just seem to pay the minimum monthly these days... I dread to think how much they wind up paying in total :D

A lot of people can only afford to pay the minimum these days. These are the retards that caused the stupid house price rises. Leveraged up to the eyeballs when interest rates are at record lows. No deposit no worries. 100% loans and away you go. Now that interest rates are going back up a lot of people are going to feel the pressure.

and don't forget... banks LOVE to give money out these days... They know most people will default and they'll get some fancy houses to sell off to the next lot of people they give a loan to ;)

Yeah but people defaulting on loans is not what the banks want. It would be a disaster for the banks if too many people started defaulting since CBA and Westpac have something like 50% of their assets tied up in mortgages lol. If housing goes down the shitter the banks go with it.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
