postie- yeah, kings cross station wads on the original game, but I do believe that’s based on a major station in England.

residentialwealth, I’m not sure I understand the meaning of your question about asking who of those who post on here own property. Some people do, and some people haven’t yet purchased. Everyone’s at different stages. I think…[Read more]

Well, I’m all [ears] PG!! But seeing you can’t have [gorgeous] can I find you [hairy] instead? Because if [sultan] ran off with [gorgeous] firstly I’d feel [freak] and then [mickey] and [elvis] (me) would [bawl]. Having said that, I would also probably turn into a rather demented [hannibal]

hehe Rubba- read the topic again- points 2, 3 and 4 count. The rest is a good read though [strum]

Don’t tell me our friend Harry Triguboff doesn’t want to contribute to the community Jason! Now all my dreams are shattered… hehe. [hmm]

Jason, if you look at this weekend’s Domain, it is about as big as a weekend edition of the Daily Telegraph- it’s a whopper! And the first few pages are full of Meriton skyscrapers. The guy is gonna have to…[Read more]

Let me say with all due respect… you lot are HOPELESS! Whatever happened to those things we call “weekends” where one was free to play around as one chose? [lmao] (my favourite hysterical smiley)

Ok- saturday is bad for half of you and sunday is loathesome for the other half. Can one of the number crunchers on this board work out for me what…[Read more]

There’s only one amazing monika, PG, but I did add some more daisies for you as a consolation!

kay henry

Well, monika would kill me if I gave you one of those pinkies, Mr Guru, but how about some of these instead?

[daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy][daisy]

They’re quite nice, I think

kay henry

Well, I know that Guru! I just saw all his pink headed “in love” smileys, and well… just wanted to know if he was in lovew with you, is all (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) [mellow]

Do all investors take out Landlord Insurance? I did after I had a very risky tenant and then of course, the tenant was gone and I didn’t need it anymore!

I wonder if people only get it if they are in a flood zone, or are worried about their tenants not paying, etc. As for me, I now have two very stable tenants and am not gonna get it (for…[Read more]

Mini,

Is that the Irwins you’re referring to? Brenda Irwin and her hubby have bought up hugely in that area, and have had articles written on them in the last two editoins of the API magazine. She’s also a lovely woman and people can chat to her, or PM her on the somersoft.com forum- she’s very accessible. She ias also into CF+ props, so she…[Read more]

John,

A 10% yield on a 100k property is not too bad [thumbsupanim] but you also say the property is “remote”. By that, do you mean it is 10km’s to the nearest shop? Or do you mean the town itself is remote from a capital city? Basically, ya wanna think about how big the town is, if there is any industry there, any plans of infrastructure…[Read more]

Julian, are you in love with PG? I’ve met him and he’s quite handsome :o)

kay henry

Mel,

What is “Relay for Life?”

kay henry

Derek- what a comprehensive reply! :o)

I think it’s ok to have differing views about the same issue. It’s the way we phrase those views that can upset people. It’s healthy to disagree- not so healthy to be uncivil.

kay henry

techa,

I can see that LMI worked for you- that’s great

dereksam did ask for opinions, even this:

“I am open to conflicting views so I have different alternatives to consider .. ”

… and so, I gave him my opinion on LMI. I think it’s also an important factor that derek is new to RE, and he’s soming in at a time when CG is probably going to be…[Read more]

I know what you mean, wayne. And before, anyone else gives me one of these, I’ll give myself one.

[offtopic]

kay henry

a slightly different opinion with beerboy, in him saying “equity should grow bigger with 4 properties”. I am not sure this is the case in 2004 (assuming we are using the example stated about buying 5X4 $50k properties).

Generally, the rule (in 2004) is that the lower the price, the greater rental tield, but the less CG. That’s the risk. For more…[Read more]

dereksam,

Congrats on saving up $8k- it’s a start [thumbsupanim] If you buy an investment property, you won’t be entitled to the FHOG, so your 8K will be it. I am not a fan of Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance- dead money, in my opinion.
[thumbsdownanim}

In terns of searching, check out realestate.come.au Go the the Qld map, click on the Ipswich link…[Read more]

hehe wayne – up early like me huh? I am like some kind of hibernating bear during the day and a vampire at night!

This topic is a laugh [jerry]

Hey PG- congrats on being Moderator [king]

PG, will you be coming to the Sydney Property Expo with us??
