Hi all,

Mainly poor people get hit by things like that. What does that tell you?
12% is not hot at all, keep looking.

All the best!

Hi,

I think Deer Park is worth looking at. You have only got to look at all the new building (and I dont mean residential) and how the area is slowly turning around.

Best of luck!!!!

Hi Cherry Pro,

Two major mistakes people make in investing is.
Buy at the top and sell at the bottom.
You have made 1 of those mistakes (and you are not the only one it the country). Think long and hard before you make the other.

All the best!

Hi all,

All I want to add to the comments that have already been made is that we should not forget that the baby boomers (investors) are about to retire and that will have an effect on pricing. How that effects you is related to how you invest and what you invest in.

All the best!

Hmm if I were you I would study demegraphics and the effect that it has on the economy. Maybe then you might not want to sell your stocks for an inner city apartment just yet.

All the best!

You just need a new broker and to make sure you do your homework on the new investment.

Best of luck! [specool]

Get over it people! So what if she is a stripper!
She would earn enough money to cover her bills and only would have lied to you because of what you might think.
Do you propose that she live in a tent?

Its up to you in the end but I can not see your problem as people lie on applications all the time. Have you never told a little white one yourself?

Positive after you put down 35% ??????????????
What about the return on that 35%?
Purchase if you like but you would find better deals by spending 3 minutes on the telephone.

All the best!

To be honest with you my first property investment did well and I still own the property. It is very +ve cashflow and is worth 3 times what i purchased it for only 5 years ago.
I did not have a ‘mentor’ or advisor but what i did (and still do) have is a burning desire to succeed.

Look the best advise i could give you is that you will get exactly what you NEED and not a cent more, so understand what you need and trust in your abilities.

Books that say they will teach you how to make lots of money in two minutes or purchase 100 properties in 6 seconds are fine if you believe that crap but the 1st thing any person needs to do is set goals and get their mindset right. Forget the books of how to make 2 million in 1 second and read stuff like ‘acres of diamonds’ or ‘your erroneous zones’ as they offer something more deep than money.

Take care.

Hi Compleks,

I think the questions you need to ask only you can answer. For example you talk about not being able to dedicate yourself to property, my questions to you are;
1) What can you see yourself dedicated to (investment wise)?
2) What are your goals?
3) When do you want to reach your goals?

Anyway my advise is simple, most people regret what they did not invest in rather than what they did. And those that regret what they have invested in mostly do so because they were not prepared to do some research. So do your homework and have a go.
Its not rocket since, its fun!

Have fun!!!

Hi,

I would offer less than 230k and like fallboy said I would then try and make settlement the negotiating point. But you may have played your hand to the agent by the questions you have asked him.
Make the offer on paper and go from there.

Let us know how you go.

All the best!

If something sounds to good to be true .hmmmmmm. you know the rest.

If it is such a good thing it would not be offered to you at such a discount even if you are a good friend to the seller.

My advice, for what it is worth to you:- Get a room in the building for a night, get a nice bottle of red or 3 and enjoy the night. Next day check out and find a better investment!

All the best.
