I have been reading about lots of everyday people building impressive property portfolio's (e.g. 5 or more houses) and I want to invest my money and hopefully make a very tidy retirement fund doing the same thing. my question is how do they go about it financially and can I do this too?

At the moment I earn $120,000 a year gross and have just purchased my first property 6 months ago for $420,000. I currently owe $385,000. my debts include a $3000 credit card debt and a $40,000 car debt.

where do I need to be at financially to look at buying an investment property around the $400,000 price and how do I continue to do this? I would love to be able to purchase an investment property every 6-12months. I want to rent these investment properties out.

Is this possible for me to achieve?

Anyone who can give me some advice, would be greatly appreciated.

I sprained my ankle at work and am currently on restricted/light duties.

I work on a mine site so I still fly up and stay for my full swing but under Dr's orders I am to do 8hr shifts instead of 12hr's and to do seated office work, instead of driving trucks.

will my rate of pay be different? or on workers compensation if you are still working do they pay you the same no matter what alternate duties they give you?

Hey everyone..

I just bought my first home and now want to decorate it.

My house has a gorgeous outdoor entertaining area with a Koi pond and a Buddha waterfall flowing into it, I also have shade sails everywhere and bamboo fencing,

I love the tranquil feeling of the backyard and would like to decorate the rest of the house to reflect a "holistic, relaxing, resort" type feel.

I can see what I like in my head but when I try to translate it with furnuture etc.. somehow It all goes/looks wrong. I'm really struggling to complete the feel.

If anyone can help with images or links to good sites It would be so much appreciated

Thanks guys :)

I rented a property for close to two years and had to break lease three months early, I continued to pay rent untill the lease expired. when I vacated the property I hired a professional cleaner and gardner and had the property in great condition. I vacated the property and dropped the keys and all cleaning reciepts off to the real estate and let them know the house was ready to re-let and left town. I just got a call from the real estate this morning as they have done the final inspection 3 months after I moved out and told me the house requires dusting and backyard needs sweeping and a few weeds pulled and light pruning. I live miles away now and can't go back to do this, and when I moved in the house had been sitting vacant for awhile and I had to dust and do some light gardining myself, the tenancy report also states that the property was dusty and yard slightly overgrown. where do I stand with this matter as I dont want to have to pay for a cleaner to go do such a small job when I have already have had the place cleaned and can I use the fact that the house was in a dusty and slighlty overgrown condition when I moved in to my favour?? thanks I have $2000.00 bond riding on this and don't really want to loose any.. I'm annoyed that they waited 3 months to do a final inspection.. the lease runs out this week

I believe my job of the last 16mnths is making me depressed.. I work on a mine site driving trucks so both my mind and body are not stimulated during the day much, I dont find much time to sleep and relax due to the long hours and I stress out about working at the mine due to all the potential dangers that are present in our work enviroment.. I have become quiet and withdrawn and very emotional lately, am having trouble sleeping always feel tired and exhausted and seem to have no motivation.. I have thought its time to see a doctor and get anti depressants but due to the nature of our work we are not aloowed to operate machinery on drugs or anti depressants.. can they ask me to leave my job or will they have to find me something else to do other than drive trucks?? thanks

I have been seeing this guy on a very casual level for a few months.. (mainly booty calls) and have sort of got the vibe he was loosing interest so I stopped making contact with him for a few weeks to see if he would bother to make an effort to contact me and got nothing, so I thought I would send him a text to sort of let him know how I felt and part ways nicely, I texted him saying that while I get the feeling he didn't find a connection with me I was actually starting to really like him , but I hope if nothing more we can remain friends.. after sending the text I got one back the following day saying that he would really like to see me and wants to have a talk face to face..

Unfortuanlty due to our work schedules I cannot get to see him for 2 weeks and now its driving me nuts what he might say..

I dont know if he is going to open up to me and maybe he does actually like me or if I am going to get rejected to my face.. seriously though guys If you were going to reject someone wouldnt you have just used that text as a way out and texted back saying sorry it didnt work out and yeah mates is cool, rather than sit down and talk... guys and girls what do you think.. Im going bonkers waiting!!!
