    Our Latest Buy (Part 3)

    February 17, 2019

    Reading Time: 5 Minutes Gday everyone, writing this at Melbourne airport at the moment. Been a bit of a whirlwind weekend as a tag-along to MrsFrugalSamurai. She’s got a work conference here so thought I’d come down and see how our Melbournian cousins are doing. In a word? GREAT. Really good vibe every time we come here, people are more chilled and the food? Superb as always. We also caught up with a few friends – some of whom have been following the last couple of posts about our most recent purchase (read here and here) AVIDLY. Last time I disclosed the prices which I tested the waters for the…

    Our Latest Buy (Part 2)

    February 14, 2019

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes OK boys and girls, we are back! Back for the continuation of our most recent real estate purchase. If you missed part 1, don’t fret! Have a read of it here. Basically, after zipping around the Greater Perth area for the best part of a long weekend, we’ve narrowed the shortlist down to the FINAL FOUR. Ironically none were detached houses, which is a shame because I was on the look-out for somewhere with a bit of land. As we all know, it’s land which appreciates in value and the building which depreciates – hence anything with good land content and value, usually receives a big…

    Our Latest Buy (Part 1)

    February 10, 2019

    Reading Time: 5 Minutes We’ve done it guys, WHEW. Finally got there, far out. “Wipes the sweat off my BROW”.  Another little addition to the real estate portfolio. Much relieved I AM. You see, it’s actually been about 12 months in the making… Because on and off for the past year or so, I’ve been tracking one capital city in Australia which I’ve identified as the next component of our FIRE goals (read about the goals here). Where? Economically this capital has been in the doldrums, and consequently its real estate market is shot to bits. Picture this, advertised asking prices dropping by the week, no one turning up to open…

    6 Thoughts on the Banking Royal Commission

    February 7, 2019

    Reading Time: 5 Minutes “An old man looks across the table to a middle-aged man… the old man is clearly unimpressed, but the middle-aged man ignores him and grins for the cameras… knowing full well this will make the 6 o’clock news.” What a week it’s been right! Because late on Monday afternoon, we had the results for the Banking Royal Commission. The final report had the legs to be the biggest shake-up of the Australian financial services industry. EVER. So much so that… Whoa, back it up a bit TheFrugalSamurai… what are you referring to? Oh… sorry guys – got ahead of myself there! For our international friends who…

    Regret, I’ve had a few

    January 20, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up everyone! Hope we’re all having an AWESOME weekend. What’d you guys get up to? Man, tell you what, I am so glad this heatwave in Sydney has passed. It got so hot sometimes that I actually couldn’t function as a human being… I think that’s when you know you need a time-out. When self-immolation turns from an interesting Wikipedia article into reality. I was reading in the news that mid-week, the 15… yes FIFTEEN hottest places on the planet were in Australia… Love it. And so I came to find myself on Friday afternoon in the local Westfields (shopping centre) having a spot of…
