Interest rates have increased 0.25% and now there's talk of possibly another rate rise before the end of this year or early next year. Today, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) issued their Statement on Monetary Policy which suggests that the RBA has a "strong tightening bias". They have estimated inflation to be around 3% by the end of 2007 and to stay at that level until mid 2008, which means there may be even further increases throughout 2008.Managing mortgage repayments during time of ...

ASIC and a Consumer Organisation sent a number of genuine, financial hardship cases to 219 different and fully qualified financial planners.

This just highlights how valuable the genuine educational workshops and e-books are. This ...

With a job that paid $3.40 an hour, I saved $5,000. I used $3,500 of it to buy my first piece of real estate - 2 acres near where I lived. As you can guess, this was many years ago. A few hours removing brush, and it was ready to sell. I hand-painted a sign, and two weeks later sold the land for $4,750, with $250 down, $100 per month, at 11% interest. With the capital gain, my annual return on investment was over 20%. Not bad, for my first time investing in real estate. Creative Investing Means ...

The vast majority of mortgage lenders consider a manufactured home the same as a conventionally stick-built home and they are willing to provide home loans to qualified individuals.

This of course means if the loan goes into default the lender can begin and execute foreclosure proceedings on the home in question. There are quite a few ...
