That's what all <30 single home loaners say... They preach the work-hard-young-to-enjoy-investments-later but they all come around eventually...

(Unless they have trust funds to milk)

Apparently I can't offset my home loan in cos I've got 3 years fixed? (well can but gotta pay like $1500 to change loan type) But I can put upto 10k a year ontop of what I'm already paying for those 3 years.. so should i just sink everything into it that I can and withdraw if I need it down the track?

I'm in 2 minds about the whole pay home loan off quick or have a life / travel, do shit, buy shit instead :P or maybe I just need to find a good balance.

Comes down to where you want to end up.

If you are happy with owning 1 house which can be repaid working in a comfortable job I say enjoy the extra money on what makes you happy.

If you are working hard within a job which is unsustainable, you would want to pay off home as much as you can so you can refinance to a more comfortable level in the future.

If you want to grow your property portfolio, start saving for a deposit for the next place.

Although I'm not sure if property investment as an individual is worth it anymore....

With all these apartments popping up funded by developers and millionaires skewed towards negative gearing I can foresee more supply than demand for rental properties.

This man knows what he's on about. Not to mention once you have paid off an investment property the amount of tax the government rapes you for and paying shit like rates, insurance and water for some tenant who is happily ruining your property. The only way you're making anything is through capital gains and oh, wait there's a friggen tax for that too. Whether you pay off the loan slowly and save on tax or go the other way and pay off quick to save interest, someone is making money off you. Bank or government. Property investment is over rated. Buy a home to live in. Pay it off and then enjoy life and spending money on shit that makes you happy.

Incorrect...

The trust that owns the property uses the losses carried forward from the previous financial year(s) to offset the GCT event doesn't it? :P

If there is enough losses to offset the gain then it couldn't have been such a great investment.

If you have an online redraw facility then you might as well reduce interest by paying it down.

Exactly, just put as much money as you can into the home loan, knowing you can redraw if necessary. The quicker you pay your home loan the more money you save!!! Especially in the first few years of the loan try to put as much as you can into it, so you start paying off more principal. Well that's what I did anyway :)

Dezz's new jetski matches his shoes.... which is a pity as you don't wear shoes while jetskiing

its not how you ride your jetski, its how you stand next to it at the petrol station. you better learn that.

Never been on a jetski, sure it'd be fun but I'd never use it.. barely use my motorbikes and they go on the ROAD!

On another note, what's the normal rise when getting promoted? keeping in mind it's still similar area of work etc.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
