Sustain

We gave up on the public process (after 4 years) and went through private to get it assessed.

Anything out of state it would seem is double checked if it is international or domestic

At different ends of the spectrum you have those thinking the growth will go on and on and people will just have to pay. At the other end you have some in cant believe the disconnect between income and pricing and logically foretell a correction. The middle see the disconnect but also see that if you don't have to sell you can ride out the correction - in what form this will take may be different from before with so many ingrained in a basket of house hold eggs. There are also sub sects within these spectrums - those with logical thought and ability to enter the housing market and those with no ability just frustration. Like wise the people in property who were smart and not just following the market but buying the right property ie location and land value not a mcmansion miles away from instrastructure and with land of little real value. Have I been buying land? Yes? Residential = Hell No, income generating commercial and agriculture yes, am I looking at it from a capital gain perspective - No, Income generation Yes. The future will be great for those with passive income, for those working 60 hours + say good bye to weekends as you start needing 80 hours to keep up.

When in doubt you start asking how many of the so called high earners can survey for more than 12 weeks if they lost their jobs They in turn ask for the figure to be lowered to 4 weeks in line with their pay

I thought foreign investors received dividends gross or in other words with out franking credits? Here in Singapore dividend income is tax free

Emotional link rather than a reality gripped market Let them eat at Bunning's Farms are going cheaper and cheaper - great time to start looking (Bench marking) and getting ready to buy

I'd do it for the sake of re living those memories Party until 4am with packers arriving at 7am Pack the passports and tickets in which box? of 20 foot container? Crash the rental car at tullamarine due to sleep deprivation (they should not supply new movies on flights) Get robbed at short stay apartment (after being robbed legitimately by hotel for first week)

Just think of the endorsements and sponsorship possibilities "When discussing quotes with shipping companies don't forget to mention..."

Keeps NZ beaches empty from crowds and flies

Estate agents are supposed to add the negotiation element to the equation But how much of that in the light of current markets?

I sense blood in the water with woolworths

'Apply a bit of Greece and it might come of the rails'

Do you need to work in Australia? What about coming as a visitor (6 months) and using NZ as a weekend getaway or Singapore (as your choosing Perth) to go out of the country to establish another 6 month time period?

Problem for Australia will be workforce sitting on labour costs far above other nations. Thus reducing its competitiveness in addition to its existing poor efficiency ratings. These property prices have been established on years of a luck driven economy What happens when its no longer luck and hard work is required? What happens when major companies start restructuring their knowledge capital to ensure IP remains in lower tax base countries? Forget the peaks and troughs of booming and bust markets, what about long term ?

So shortly a café filled with 6 figure accountants trying to work out how to operate the self serve coffee machine? Solicitors debating how to solve a complicated baby delivery Architects trying to put up a brace wall while maintaining one hand on the contract the other on the calculator Pilots running back to the controls after serving croissants and coffee to the above Meanwhile whose fixing me toilet?

Supermarkets have been putting prices up substantially after new year for past few years. That's what I have noticed anyway. Think the logic is they know people coming back from holiday need to stock up and have been in holiday mode (including paying inflated resort prices) So should calm down again in Feb Trades have had a good time for past decade but they need to ensure they have made some decent hay. Just remember the arrogant sentiment they have when the next 457 debate appears

Have experienced both with no issues Both had good names and were part of the international network I think it was PSS that we used from UK to OZ and Kent/OSS completed the Australian pick up drop off

2017 - 2018 first wave of change for mortgages. Movement from interest only to include principal payments Tightening fiscal policy in China / Hong Kong later in 2016 With low interest watch out for higher hidden taxation or indirect taxation. 2019 realization by major employers that location need not be city based - Technology driven (video conference, email, smart phone - you could be in next room or floor) - Reduced staffing (why maintain a office for 300 with only 30) - Performance orientation the outcome rather than seat watching (if you perform better at home, go home) - Consumer migration (forced economically initially) city to rural or less dense areas), then followed by the masses Movement in companies based on tax regimes not cost of labor

Internal and external walls?

What area of Melbourne?

Labour market is in a state of flux. Seeming secure or high income of accountants is changing with market rates sliding to sub $40 per hour as technology and requirements change. Tourism will change as the information value increases and scarcity of labour increases its value.

No idea what you mean LOL What time is it? ten past six? You want a tinny with ###
