29 May 2009 Building a House
 |  Category: Our House  | Leave a Comment

This week we’ve decided on buying a house, it’s not huge, but it will have a good return due to the price we’re building it. I’m kind of looking forward to it, but I really don’t want to move from where we are now, I’ll miss it so much!

Here’s a fairly accurate design to show what it is:

Using the median house price hopefully it will sell in the mid $300k’s.

Stepping stone is all we’re thinking, even in this low market.

13 May 2009 Project 365 – Day ?? – Overwhelmed
 |  Category: Personal, Project 365  | Leave a Comment

I have so many photo’s on so many devices! I also have so many good intentions, all those ingredients and so little cake to make.

Instead of Project 365 it’s going to be Project 52 – a photo that best describes the highlight of my week, hopefully I can manage that.

This week I hope it’s going to be me playing footy after breaking my toe, I’m so sick and tired of watching my mates play and then I walk after them and give them a drink of water. Now it’s Pat’s turn for that punishment.

Til then

01 May 2009 Money Making Ideas
 |  Category: Personal  | Tags:  | Leave a Comment

I’ve been throwing ideas around with some mates about creating a passive income source, the brainstorming has been going well, it’s just the ideas that are floundering at the moment.

I thought of one that I could use for small builders/small real estate agencies, I think it could work but I haven’t worked out the system to make it passive yet.

Another one I thought might be useful is going around to the smaller pawn brokers to see what items aren’t moving from their shelves and put them on ebay, this principle could work with other businesses too, it’s just a bit to get started and setup. I feel the rewards could be worth it over time though.

I’ll keep storming and post my new ideas when possible, feel free to give feedback if you agree or don’t agree with any ideas I post.
