Land value my dear ... the average house price in the area I have bought is about A$730k to be conservative & my house is very close to the train station that has direct services to the city.Originally posted by Xog View Postif it came with the boat i'd be cool with it being $600k Aus ($560k US), but goddamn you got ripped the fuck off, im not even kidding. looks like you can lay yourself down like 3-4 times from end to end in that house.. so small
come to think of it, that looks like the size of my apartment, and i pay $1200/mo for it without a contract (old school italian landlord = fucking awesome)
Unfortunately real estate is like the musical chair, you know the music will stop eventually. I am just hoping the property price here does not go down in the next 5 years. <_<

I am only in the second highest tax rate bracket ... with the marginal tax rate of 40% last financial year. But after tax I am as poor as a rat.Originally posted by Galleleo View PostI thought you had such an awesome paying job.
P.S. why do they call it 'doing your tax return' when after I have done my tax return, I have to pay a couple of grand more tax?!

Being Dutch, I know all about land costs being expensive. But the house that is on it should still count and that house doesn't look to be worth 600k

That would run over a million if it was in Monterey, Santa Monica or Laguna areas...even more if that was on Balboa Island in CA. Land is worth more than the house in most cases.

That's what you get for 600k? And it's timber too?
Holy crap...
I thought you had such an awesome paying job.

I don't have any pictures since I have only bought it and the renovation has not even started yet.Originally posted by soupero View Postrofl sup soup
Post pics of your place please Telcat, I'm curious.
But I still manage to find some pictures posted for the advertisement when the house was on the market.

P.S. the boat isn't mine :'(

The place I have bought is around 600k A$ and is a house in a decent area. Two draw backs are: 1) it is a timber house 2) It is on a main road, so it is fairly noisy.
lol

Guest repliedrofl sup soupOriginally posted by Soup du Jour View Posttits or gtfo
I often think to myself that it's better that L1T2R3 and TagMor keep posting on the forums because at least their posts add something to the discussion, whether it's something inane or something I completely disagree with because at least I have a reaction to it. What the fuck did you just write? There is nothing there that I can even start to reply to aside from "tits or gtfo". However, I am now going to attempt to write a serious response to a telcat thread.
Post pics of your place please Telcat, I'm curious.
Good luck with everything.
