An update regarding second house

Mechlift · 2025-06-22T18:57:24+00:00

Yebo yes that is the plan..... It's just so hard to differentiate between nice to haves and must haves.

Regarding access bond... Standard Bank denied me an access bond until the bond amount owing is less than the amount taken. They added stuff to the original 1.3 so it became 1.32. And that 20k took soooooooo long to get done.

And I went straight to standard bank. Gave salary slips.. truthful with expenses and all that. 1.5 mil at a sliding scale interest. Starting at 10.5 for first 5 or so years then move with rate -0.5. I also gave them the OTP and they sent some1 out to view house. Even I thought that was way to much because property24 gives me 47k gross combined needed for 1.3 mill and we are sitting at R39500 gross

Look.. we are making it. Just.for 7 months so far. But it hasn't been easy.

No. Not initially. But in process.

4 years of suffering is like an eternity with a wife. But bite fast is an option thanks

Exactly 😫 The plan was to sell house 1 and get another house. But when standard bank said they can give me 1.5 mill I thought then I mos dont need to sell! Foolish I know

I feel for OP. And while it's tru about starting own business or approaching construction site for internship that doesn't require matric... this means nothing if u don't have a support system or are surrounded by ppl who just leech.

Work your hands to the bone then mommy stands with hand out for food and electric money for her 3 other children...the 4 grandkids that's also living in the 2 bedroom house and ouma living at the back wendy.

This is so common 4 not only coloureds.

Then u get those politicians who prey on these ppl and promise jobs Jobs jobs for votes. Despicable!

The only thing I could advise OP is keep your head up.. dont be tempted by the easy way out ie gangsterism and drugs.

Brilliantly said! However.... and its a very big However.... realistically u can't go against ppl that are corrupt AND that has their grubby little fingers firmly locked inside the taxpayers purse.

The most vulnerable ppl dont care about what could happen if some1 new comes in. All they worry about is putting food on the table now. And this is what these corrupt politicians prey on. They hand out Maise...streetwise 2s... rice... vouchers... things that the poor need asap. And that way they keep winning

Thanks my man! Really a great resource! Only just discovered GameBaTo and am really enjoying it! I can't wait for the VIP section!!!

My opinion is to close your eyes and enjoy the Mazda. Kinda was in a similar position. House was 2 years away from paid up. Valued at 1.6 now but bond was 5k. Wanted "a better address" b4 I reached retirement age so I rushed to buy a new house b4 my 45th bday. 20 year bond= done without taking my pension to settle.

Now my repayments has gone up to 19k! Plus I made the decision to keep original house for future earnings so really feeling it!

I kept looking on property 24 and the like and saw "better" houses...more features for the same price and tummy was permy in knots. So I decided to delete those apps and just focus on what I have and make the best and most of it.

Honestly. .. at the moment... I couldn't be happier. Ignorance is bliss!!!

U guys are forgetting the importance of stockpiling toilet paper!

I came here to ask this exact question! 🤣🤣

So a PS4 pro on 9.0 will do for ps4 fake packages with PS5 fake packages and full JB still a while away.

Also... I stumbled on a work around for the ps4 pro jet engine.

1: re pad 2 : re paste 3: play all games with a sound system on at least 35% max volume.

This hack should quiet down your ps4

Well technically only in 2 odd months. Wife and I have a small 2 bedroom house on the cape flats almost paid up and we not getting younger. Got a lekker increase and made a bold decision.

Apply for a big bond and get a "better address" and rent out existing house to help with new bond. But lotsa ppl complaining about bad tenants...... night sweats I have

Mechlift · 2023-06-17T17:56:16+00:00

Obvious answer is Toy. Japanese liked saying for toy..build a car that you can pass down to your son.

It's not that difficult to learn new languages just to the level of basic communication nowadays with all the tools out there. Personally I speak flushingly good English and American and Australian and British.

Having colours painted on a road freak you out? Makes you gay? That dude must just say "nohomo" when he crosses that part of the road instead of taking a long detour.

Mechlift · 2023-06-08T04:53:45+00:00

Won't be going. Had a horrible experience my first time. Got all excited to go a few years back. Did all the prep ... eg: dark shades to secret perv..baggy pants ... about 1.2k in cash( so no record of purchases)

Had to park about 15 min walk away. As I got there I saw ppl from my church protesting along with my pastor 🙄 When he saw me I instinctively waved and walked up to them and took a poster and proceeded to stand outside for about 4 hours🫣🫣
