It is not about finding a tenant. It is about finding a tenant who will pay rent at a level that justifies the ridiculous purchase price of those units. There are 800k units there only renting for less than $400 per week. That is just a joke and makes holding such a property very unaffordable for many investors. This is…[Read more]

Cap growth on shares? I have never seen it. in my experience the volatility of shares (and usually in a downward direction!) makes the dividend a negligible consideration. am i bitter???

I think this is very true. I think the end of a…[Read more]

I know a few disgruntled people who actually believed it when CE said the apartments would rise by x% amount by the time we needed to settle. I never bought that…[Read more]
