WOW what a great post this must be a record,

Yes there are many factors still coming to play.

While there are always good positive cash flow deals to be had there are potential dangers as well.

There is still a great deal of danger in the US and EU that could effect Australia.

Spending is down in Australia and the election is spending millions…[Read more]

Hello CYC very good response,

Where do you advertise your Lic cleaning service, do you also offer a property inspection for landlords?

Great work well done.

Are you an experienced investor?

Why fly to melbourne?

Are they licensed advisers?

What is their license number.

Who are the names of the people you have talked to so far and we can run a check on their names.

Every person giving you advise on “investing” must hold the appropriate license.

NEVER confuse PS 146 as a licensed advisor, this is…[Read more]

This is easier than is sounds and I welcome you try then you can appreciate the job a good sales agent does.

I agree that there are only 10% good sales people and good business agents in the market.

Today you need to be intelligent to be a good agent.

Commissions are rising because running a business office is expensive just try it and see…[Read more]

Yes FW I think that buying in old established areas is very intelligent for many reasons, firstly land size, then transport and schools and then either a knock down rebuild or renovation.Older established areas are also better located close to the CBD We are currently doing a program running numbers on buying old properties out west in Sydney and…[Read more]

Very interesting situation and once again not thought out well from the beginning from the Rudd leadership.The only main difference between Asia and Australia is population and demand of land respectively.Australian population is 22 million and China is 1.3 Billion therefore the percentage of Asians that can afford to invest outside Asia and into…[Read more]

Hmmm great post,

No. 1 it does not matter who the presenter is but in my opinion is does matter about representation to the public and this sounds like some of these people have done that, which is sad and if correct a lack of intelligence and poor character.

Years ago I went to a 2 hour free seminar in St Leonard’s in Sydney and the person, who…[Read more]

Dear Michael,

Wow what a journey you have I am so jealous and would love to join you but family and stuff will not allow.

Dear Blissy,

I’m with you on this and believe that Penrith and the St Marys area has lots of bargains. These suburbs are old like West Pymble, turramurra, warrawee etc older suburbs also have larger lots that can accommodate duplexes … Look for walk to rail, shops and bus … good luck your thinking is on line …

Hi Morty,Yes many people can get there hands on the material and then work out what to do with it … I must admit that Henry Kaye nearly got there if he had more time … Henry designed in his last days a dvd education system and the content is very good.As I said in another post I believe that there should be a fair and reasonable price … how…[Read more]

Great saying rocky,The answer to your question is that it is an individual thing and depends on your financial position.Are you going to keep both and rent, develop and build and then sell ???If you do a nice job on the front house the value should hold … the secret here is to know what the area is wanting … I was involved with several…[Read more]

Hi Peter,In short the value of your property after it is fully approved is higher than when you first started, banks today are not speculating like a few years ago.Philip Sigglekow

Hi Eddie … How long is a piece of string …I have developed over 300 lots in QLD … basically without writing a book on it I rely on my civil works team regarding the cost then allow 10% extra.The greatest factor today is council charges, this is killing QLD projects and can blow your profits.28 is a nice size … try and keep as many as you…[Read more]

If 2 people read the same book they will not get the same message from it …Some seminars seem expensive and I for one believe there should be a cutoff point to the cost like say $4,000.00The truth is that putting on these shows are very expensive, from telemarketing, sales material, hiring the venue and so much more. Generally the costs is 1/3…[Read more]

The secret is to figure out then if there is a crash in one sector there are booms in other sectors …

If you are not in the finance and property sectors there are companies making billions of dollars … I have a friend staying from Japan and he designs programs for “apple” one he is working on is called http://www.meebee.com a new on line appointment…[Read more]

Yes opportunities come along at funny times,

A friend of mine had some bad luck through a divorce and he closed his massage business … he is an aromatherapy chemist and manufactures organic skin care.

Several of his products were getting into China and South Korea however he is not business minded so I started a new brand and he is making the…[Read more]

Understood Nigel loud and clear however ring TDFT and ACCC

If you are running a business giving financial advise on investments whether that be advocacy, guidence, holding hands etc you must have a license … that is the law because you are receiving a FEE or COMMISSION for advising people how to invest their money … ask a solicitor or phone…[Read more]

Ouch !!

I think this is a good time for people in the real estate business to reread their web sites and what they offer to the public … We are currently going over every word as instructed by the department of fair trading in our web sites because of this …

Nigel I mean this in the nicest way … what you have said here and what is on your…[Read more]

Simmo,

Thank you for that comment above … can you tell me where or what to read as I am confused with so much differing opinions.

I am connected with several international reports including “money and stocks” and the picture is vastly different across the board.

Which bank are you with and do they have a news feed that I can join.

Nigel,Thank you for your reply … I think this year will be an interesting year for education companies in Australia as we have been put through the ringer for compliance and qualifications including yesterday a 4 hour meeting with TDFT in Sydney.I am fully licensed in all states of Aus plus cert iv and last year finished a IPA investment…[Read more]
