the graph makes me suspicious as it looks remarkedly similar to trends i have seen in the stock market and when prices spike like this they inevitably are followed by a “correction”. only time will tell and as usual i will just make sure i have a buffer to ride me through any…[Read more]

A dog, alarm, or security lighting will eliminate the threat of thieves…a dobermahn will do the job :-)

I focus not so much on money but simply how many properties i can purchase! As long as all the properties generate enough cash flow you can basically just keep buying. I mean really after say 10 years you know youre gonna be well ahead anyway.

So, my philosophy is to buy buy buy in areas where i think that even if CG isnt awesome at…[Read more]

wow that was an interesting read. i think Nat perhaps sees some people as clowns where maybe they / we just don’t quite know as much as her about the finer details. she should perhaps take less informed people under her wing and help them rather than ridicule them. it’s always easy to pick on easy targets but perhaps more challenging not…[Read more]

Can i open this NZ account from here in AUS and then simply access it via the internet? Can i also have them send my statements back here to me in AUS?

i guess i would just have Wizard direct debit the NZ account for the mortgage repayments right?

Welcome to the site. 18 months ago i was in the same position as you ie not quite a large enough deposit and no homes in my portfolio. In the last 12 months i have bought 2 properties and am about to buy a 3rd and 4th.

My advice to you is this;
– Stay focused and let nothing distract you from your goals
– Read, read, and read books

Cheers.

I think given the state of the Aussie market right now i am going to have to use IO to cheat and make some properties positive. Also am considering converting my others to IO in order to gain access to more funding. Any major pitfalls to IO i should be aware of?

cheers.
