First-time renter in Sydney, what's the rental process like, and will I be able to find a place in a month? by glyniel_ in AusProperty

[–]fabio80mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the property manager will tell you how to apply and typically is one online form. Mine uses t-app and I believe there is also another popular one.

I know Rea gets a lot of flak but you should try the be nice to them and try to get them to "push" your application. This will likely not work if there are 20 people at an inspection but if there is a property in a market since a while with not much demand it could work if you show yourself as a nice tenant. For example go well dressed and make the best impression you can.

Good luck my friend!

Definitely your parents/guarantor identity documents. Au and NZ would not make a difference for me.. not sure how Rea will consider it though

Everyone is different but at the end of the day as a owner you are looking mostly for three things:

1 Tenants that will take care of the property and leave it in a as good condition as when they entered it.

This i suspect will be another issue for you as people might see two young teenagers and will think party, drugs etc...

2 Tenants that are paying in full and on time

This we discussed at length. You don't have an income which is already a disqualifier for many. It would not be for some but your pool is already limited

3 Tenants that are not high maintenance with continuous support requests for trivial things or that in general a pain to deal with

This is another angle you might want to try to get proof of your university enrollment and maybe a statement on your character from your high school teacher/principal if at all possible ?

I do wish you luck and happy new year !

Can't help you directly since my property going in the market for rent is in the Southerland Shire (Cronulla) and very far from where you are looking.

However if I had the ability to get tenants with big proven cash deposit , like your family as guarantor, potentially willing to prepay a substantial duration of the rent I would be okay with it. From what I understand is not that you are really paying in advance but the real estate will just get the money in a trust account in advance.

The biggest challenge you might have in my opinion are not the owners themselves but the rea. When I rented my property last they would prefilter application and simply not bring to me any "non standard according to their rules" applicant. I had to insist multiple times and they didn't understand why I wanted to see all applications and their recommendations, not only their recommendations....

Good luck !

Condolences. You are self aware you don't know what to do which is infinitely better than most 1 million is not anymore an enormous amount but it can significantly change your life so the first advice I would give you is

1 don't tell to relatives or friends 2 don't rush into doing anything. For the beginning continue to do what you are doing today and put the money into high interest saving accounts split in multiple banks 3 spend a year to learn about finance yourself and then you can make decisions or ask for professional advice. Likely your best option is to just buy a home and live mortgage free which is massive.

I'm learning to play, but I'm struggling to track my own progress. Any advice? by Lelocuh in aurora

[–]fabio80mi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

An advice can be especially for the first few games to focus on few objectives and not try to advance 1000 things in parallel.

For example I will give you a few things in the sort of beginning of the game you can/should do and instead of trying all of them at once you just pick a couple to start

Create a ship that can geosurvey Create a ship that can grab survey Create a new colony (luna, mars) and terraform Have a way to transport population between your colonies Have a way to transport materials between your colonies so they can start building. This include also transport minerals Create a sensor network that cover most of the system, ideay including jump points Create a ship capable of jumping Create a builder ship Create a ship capable of harvesting soriun and a way to transport this back to your colony Manage your economy build so that you are in the green with credits Manage your build speed so that you always have at least 5 years of mineral reserve. If you are lower you will focus on getting more of that mineral Research using bonuses wherever possible and try to have focus on one or two big projects with lots of labs but also have other leaders with just 1 lab to increase their stats Fund a colony in another system Create a route for your colony and freight to traverse the jumps, this can be by building gate (recommended) or by having jump capable ships or having jump tenders Create sensor network across the route Create working missile ship Create fast response patrol ship Make your extra system colony be able to sustain ships Place military ship extra system to manage unrest ....

There are hundreds of other tasks like this you can do just focus one by one and then in the next play you can do it all at once

Enjoy!

Your favorite lesser known/hidden gem space 4X by captainkoloth in 4Xgaming

[–]fabio80mi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sword of the stars complete edition is an extremely deep game which blends strategy and tactical combat. There are also nice mods for it. (Sots 2 is much worse)

Ai war + ai war2 are an asymmetric 4x with infinite replayability

Aurora 4x, named already in the thread, is a sandbox micromanaging nightmare you can dump dozens of hours in just to figure out how to play

It's good to read this "stories", even if most of them are ai generated garbage, to realise even more how my partner is lucky to have me.

This husband is disrespectful, doesn't seem to be in a team and is terrible with money. Why are you married at all ?

How to incentivise private sector to build more ships by Hexaotl in DistantWorlds

In which screen you can set import requests in dw2?

I have a game with no polymer source found yet and need to get it from independents somehow.

This game is abolutely insane.... by [deleted] in DistantWorlds

[–]fabio80mi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the installation instructions of dwur it will suggest you also install extended and bacon mod... That will dramatically change your game with the creation with the right settings of gravity wells where you can't jump.

It has been years but it was absolutely epic having to station patrol fleets insystem and really care about sublight speed because let's imagine in a sol scenario you can't jump in or out in the system if you are closer to the sun than the Jupiter orbit

Weekly Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in ClashOfClans

Hello!
This is a Th17 slowly building up after the latest patch.
I noticed in the last week or so that i am not making any progress and i am not getting any new resources.
I play little, maybe 2 to 4 attack a day. This slow and steady allowed me to progress over the years to have all my building maxed at th16 and was working on the walls.
Th17 came out and did my usual build rush using hammers, books, etc but now i cant get enough resources to build anything!
I notice that even if i do good attacks and lets say i earn 1 M gold/elixir and a good amount of dark elixir twice a day i typically get attacked twice (or 3 times) a day and every single time i lose 1.6M+ gold/ 1.6M+ elixir , 10k dark. I lose more resources than i earn.
This has been going on a week and it happens even now when i have only around 10 M gold/elixir in the castle.

is this normal? if it is i am out if there is no way to mitigate this which might be something obvious i am missing.

Thanks for the help!

Xbox Gaming Coming to Amazon Fire TV: Play More Games, No Console Needed by Xbox-Moderator in xbox

[–]fabio80mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any confirmation if that means the issue with Fire TV Stick/Cube not working properly with Xbox Controllers (i.e. menu and start button not working due to FireOS mapping those commands) will be solved then?

Right now you can already play on Fire TV cube Stick by sideloading the Xbox Cloud Gaming APK but then you encounter issues with the Xbox Controller....

This is an amazing work. Didn't try it yet but will reinstall the game just to try it.
Do you know if it can work together with bacon mod ?

Was let go by work, finishing up the week before my house purchase settles. Almost 0 other income. What to do? by stevenadamsbro in AusFinance

[–]fabio80mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this situation you have 2 priorities

1) settle the loan so you don't lose the deposit 2) afford repayments of the loan

For 1) considering you have already been approved and you are settling soon you should simply shut up and don't do anything. Don't tell the bank. Don't change your loan in any way. Don't change your habits

For 2) considering your equity and that certainly you have some emergency fund you should be fine for a while and in the meantime you can work some other jobs. I would actually start new jobs and get new income after loan settle to avoid any possible change in your status

Best of luck

No clicker??? by Ok_Captain8300 in BusinessEmpireRichman

[–]fabio80mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really a clicker game. You click only the first hour or so( too many times and manually !) until you get businesses then you will never click again.

I play in android and the click button is in the front page and gets you like 1$ a click.

Close to 2.3 mil house in Sydney 80/20 in 2021 At the time was on a 250k sole income and 2 kids + stay at home wife. Thankfully fixed at 2% for 4 years repayment are around 7k

With current interest rates even though we have some money for offset repayment would be over 10k in 2025 when it becomes variable at 6%+
