Thanks Crashy,Some people have seen my posts as negative in some areas and that is not my intentions, I have been through this before in the 90's and now the market is turning and people will need help.The most common fault is in determining the difference between an ASSET and a LIABILITY … it's funny as I re read all the rich dad books over…[Read more]

Just another angle Steve …What is your advise to students on this site that have bought in such towns that will lose their tenants and won't be able to replace them at all … these properties could drop in value by 70% or more … and create negative equity.D

Yes Steve I agree,I warned this in my posts over the last few months and had personal experience myself of rental properties in towns like Proserpine … when this market turns it will be ugly … we had talks with our overseas advisores today who predicted that there will be a market rally up until June then the mother of a global re correction…[Read more]

It's interesting reading back on our comments,China may now go into recession.Petrol under 90c go figure that one.Interest rates under 5% go figure … butAustralia will hit 100 billion in credit debt … this is not good.Bank credit will tighten further.D … merry xmas
