When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. – Alexander Graham Bell.

Here’s one I do like.

Don’t you mean Maynard is extolling the virtues of PIPS as Alibaba was saying he was trying PI.com as in propertyinvesting.co since he read Steve’s first book which he thought was great.

Meeting once every two months would be pretty good, I suppose we can discuss that at the first meeting.

Last night I drove past two blocks that were side by side in Nth Perth, each block had a fairly old house and on each “Auction” sign it had “Triplex Blocks”, so as Billy said it’s always land value on these large blocks with older run down houses.

Actually all around Nth Perth, MtHawtorn and Mt Lawley they are cramming 3 and 4…[Read more]

It’s worth reading all the posts on this thread.
Some good advice to be had and also some heated debate from the big guns!

Mini’s major post was awesome.

This thread has made me think twice about the type of IP I want to start with, originally I wanted something close to where the new rail line is going to be south of Perth, but…[Read more]

My wife and I lived in Karratha for 6 years, which we enjoyed.

We passed through Roebourne many times on the way to Point Samson, Wickham and Port Hedland.

FYI…the pub in Roebourne has the tables and chairs bolted to the floor and they hose the pub out after closing time!

From memory there were a couple of well presented houses…[Read more]

We are comfartable with our repayments…[Read more]

I’m also looking for start up help.
My wife and I are looking to invest in positive cash flow residential or commercial property.
This is our situation:
Combined income $100K.
Our home is valued at approx $550K, we owe $390K, this includes home loan and an equity loan we have.
Our house is bigger than we need.
Should we downsize or keep…[Read more]
