G’day all,

Great thread. Im actually heading off to NZ next Tuesday for a wedding, and figured whilst im there I’ll look at some properties. I’ve already managed to arrange some appointments with RE agents. Ahh the internet, what would we do without it. []

I’m going to travelling the south island, so my research will be restricted to there.…[Read more]

Excellent work Richard, sound like a great deal.

Helen I just signed one this week, again country Qld. $72,000 returning $185 p/w.

I have found 3 more deals in the same town (but Im out of cash []) and I have emailed the details of to a few members of the forum.

Basic details are:

1. $65,000, fully furnished (microwave, fridge, washing…[Read more]

Why would you want my Suburb/State []

G’day Brett,

I cant speak for NSW properties, but I have found them in Qld. I finished reading Steve’s book 4 weeks ago and have bought 2 properties since then that meet the “11 sec solution”, as well as another 5 properties in the same town, but finances restrict the number of purchases for now.

As you will see mentioned many times on this…[Read more]

Congrats Cobra,

Its great to hear stories of people getting out and doing their first deals. Exciting times isn’t it..

Cheers,

Battz

Rod,

You know the sad thing, I know someone who did exactly the same.

Fact is stranger than fiction!

Cheers,

Battz

Couldn’t agree more Anna. And re Coomera, I reckon that will be a solid investment area – that boom is stil to come!

Cheers,

Battz

Great read isn’t it David.[] I just have to get hold of his Property Investors School on CD now.

He other books are a great read too.

Cheers,

Battz

P.S. He is coming to Australia in November

G’day all,

I am always amused when I read/hear the term, “Property Bubble Burst”. Can anyone explain what this term actually means? I know its an emotive media term, hence it is thrown around a lot.

To me a bursting bubble implies something is inflated and then bang, in an instant there is nothing. How on earth could this be applied to…[Read more]

Thanks Terry,

I had been given similar advice. Provided you are not “advising” people to buy these particular properties. It is simply providing information about a certain property and perhaps providing recent sales figues/photss etc and charging a fee.

Cheers,

Battz

P.S. Thanks to those whom have emailed me, sorry in the delay to reply…[Read more]

Awesome return Westan. If those numbers dont motivate and inspire none will![]

City of 100,000, I suppose that rules out Brisbane[], but thats about Adelaides populatuion isnt it? (Battz ducks in the corner ready to be belted by Adelaidians….)

Cheers,
Battz

The best bit is the recorded msg,….”Due to the complexity of the problem the service will be restored at 2.00pm est”

And that Msg has been changed 3 times this morning with renewed times!!

Arghhhh, Telstra email is down Australia wide!

G’day Bronwen,

Drop me an email vmax@bigpond.net.au I might be able to point you in the right direction..

Cheers,

Battz

Polar,

I dont think your initial post was too harsh, I think it was pretty close to the truth. I believe the majority of the forum is prepared to assist with advice, examples, research material, useful links, seminar dates and even members offering personal coaching. What else do people actually expect?

Well I suspect some(extreme minority)…[Read more]

deccles,

I agree that when you are starting out its great to have a helping hand to point you in the right direction.

Buy and read:

Steve’s Book
Dolf De Roos “Real Estate Riches”

and attend a couple of seminars, that will give your plenty of “spoon feeding”

Cheers,

Battz

G’day Jarvis,

Ive got the same question. I too am interested in attending, but not sure if its suitable for me (as Im a handyman idiot!)

I’d been keen to hear from anyone whom has attended. vmax@bigpond.net.au

Cheers,

Battz

Bear,

Drop me an email at vmax@bigpond.net.au I now live in Brisbane but am a former Adelaidian []

Cheers,

Battz

Steve,

It was great to read your “Reply to the naysayers”, I believe you summed up the feelings of many of the members of the forum.

Perhaps the great point you highlighted was the “insult in asking for a refund on the book”

I firmly believe that the information contained in the book is grossly undervalued at twenty something dollars. I…[Read more]
