    Who subscribes to the API (Aust Property Investor)Magazine?

    I have subscribed since issue 1. They are always laying around the house and my study.

    I love reading the case studies and to date I dont think anyone has said going to a seminar contributed to their success.

    Its been around since Aug 1999. If you are a serious investor – subscribe. There is more to property investing than cash flow.

    Its probably another reason why I have not had to source expensive seminars.

    Subscribe to it – Just a tip from me.

    Yack,

    I was a subscriber to API magazine up until April last year where my subscription run out! I was going to subscribe again, but due to day by day delaying I end up not subscribe to it and buy issue by issue from the Newsagents.

    I will subscribe to API again soon. Thanks for reminding me!

    Kind regards

    I have nothing to do with API Mag. But I reckon its almost the reason for my knowledge and success to date.

    I got my copy yesterday and I reckon its the best source of information around. I love property investing and its been my campanion for the journey since it started.

    Better than any guru can provide. I love the case studies. Real people real success. These stories inspire me. Its got the legal and accounting stuff as well.

    After tax it costs me hardly anything.

    I live in Melb and I understand API comes out of Qld.

    They have a web site.

    http://www.apimagazine.com.au/

    I am surprised that no-one subscribes. Maybe there are more property investor newbies than I originally thought.

    yack,

    just because people don’t subscribe doesn’t automatically mean they’re newbies. I buy it myself from time to time, but keep forgetting to subscribe…

    cheers

    I suscribe to it.

    It’s very informative and has a lot of useful info, in particular udpated prices and articles on specific areas.

    I find it worth the cost.

    Hi Yack,
    I used to have a boss who subscribed and then left the company so for the next 12 months i got free API mag[strum][strum].

    Now i make sure to buy a copy whenever i think about it as ito am inspired by stories of success and my favourite section is always keeping track of median property values as it is a good guide of how prices are travelling and quite accurate i have found especially in the areas that i invest!

    Ok by[whistle] for now [whistle][whistle]

    Sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can

    I subscribe to KPI magazine and The NZ property Investor, and i occasionally buy API from the news-stands. i used to get API all the time, until I discovered the NZ ones, and seeing as that’s where I am investing for now, I find it useful.

    but yeah, industry magazines, no matter what the industry, are invaluable.

    A lot of the things I know about NZ, I picked up from the mags. i.e. someone was asking about subdividing in NZ. I remembered one of the articles in KPI about ‘the 17 steps to subdividing your property’ and just basically looked it up.

    yack, on re-reading your post, I noticed – as usual – you never miss an opportunity to diss a) seminars and b) cashflow investing do you?

    Well, as a person who hasn’t missed an issue of API magazine, you’d remember the article comparing two case studies, one negative geared, and one CF+ve, which came out better? CF.
    Marginally. but that was right in the middle of the boom. it would be better than ‘marginally’ now.

    And as for seminars, magazines don’t replace seminars, just like books don’t replace movies.
    both have their merits.

    I subscribe to it. Love the case studies and learning new areas that I am unfamiliar with, this issues has industrial property … hmmm!

    Also it is great that as of June it will become a monthly mag making it an even better reason to subscribe.

    Cheers

    I have actually emailed Lane Boy the editor a few times. I even suggested they have a forum like this. And now I open the mag and find there is a new editor – Sue Fitzgerald.

    Anyone heard of her before – anyone know what happened to Lane Boy??????

    Hi all, I don’t subscribe to API, I try and read the articles that interest me while standing in the newsagents (how tight is that). If something REALLY interests me or the guy behind the counter is giving me dirty looks (just because I’ve been standing there an hour) I will buy it. lol.

    Regards
    Marty

    Yack, whether or not I subscribe to a magazine bears no relevance to my ability as an investor or otherwise. Who cares who subscribes or who buys it at the newsagency? Yes its a great magazine, but its only one source of information. I wouldn’t base my life’s investing on it.

    Lane Boy, yack?? hehe. that is a funny name. Reminds me of a gay boy who hangs out in lanes- hence “lane boy”.

    maximus, I like your approach :O) I do like hanging out in newsagents also and checking out stuff.

    API monthly- i’m in heaven!!
