After these biggies the next cycles run something like

1/ Conservatism 1890s /1950s

2/ Social relevance / 1960 or the suffurgette movement

3/onservative snap back 1970s /1910-1920

4/ Monumental Piss up 1980s / 1920s

Then the cycles repeat.

Each cycle is a reaction to the one before.

Hi gmh454, My accountant tells me to cash up realise my profits then reinvest, his theory is a profit is a profit – works for him he has plenty.

Now cycles within cycles that has nothing to do with washing machines, please tell me more about this i am very interested!!

Will we have another depression or a subsidised recession??

The Perth…[Read more]

Thanks for the link Simon i will have a read, as to your boyish good looks it must be all the women in your life that keep you looking young – or an old photograph, oh sorry bout that one, very naughty of me.

Take care Simon i enjoy your input,

Shame we cannot run a poll here to show that more than 5% of this forums membership invest in real estate. But I imagine the numbers would be significantly higher.

Simon i believe it would be very easy for you to run a poll and would be extreemly interesting for the rest of us.

Of the 42,000 members how many are active or…[Read more]

Hi Cuey no don’t give up the deals are there you just don’t see them with your eyes!!

I just visited a friend of mine who works for a large mortgage company, he said the biggest part of their business that is growing is the loan forclosure section … is this a concern to future property investors??

Tizzy you need to talk to Simon (moderator) about what womens needs are towards information and investing stratagies or read his responses in another post, your experiences are not alone from other womens experiences.

a lot of women i know will only deal with women professionals, brokers, agents, planners etc … men should take note to this IMHO

Thanks Dazz,

Firstly WA is too far away to analayise numbers over the net then fly over to get disapointed.

Most +ve cash flow properties we found were in the sticks and quite frankly from our past experiences of selling properties in country towns it can take years if the market is not right and we like to cash in sooner.

We are currently…[Read more]

Please go and attend some liquidated auction houses – great bargins to be had for all …

Sorry Simon i disagree with you that the average loan was 80k when interest rates were 17%+ – we had a 240k debt when the rates started going crazy, i don’t know how old you are or what experience you have in going through this type of situation but it was not pleasent for us and our friends.

Good business people went under because of the Keating…[Read more]

Yes we looked at Perth as well and found it far too expensive compared to say Queensland which has all the factors of better growth.

Queensland is moving backwards now and we have identified some great deals especially small shopping centre complexes as we are getting bored of investing in houses and puting up with tennants etc

The fact is that…[Read more]

OK i’ll start,

If i was starting out again i would take the advise of an old real estate agent many years ago who told me to invest in one bed units close to the city.

He suggested main sudurbs in Sydney like – Parramatta – Carlingford – Ryde – Gladesville – Balmain – Rozelle Nth Sydney etc

I bought and still own a one bed unit in Balmain in…[Read more]

I believe Simon that if we set achievable targets and reach them we are on the way to achieving happieness.

Sadness is when we feel life is not delivering and we are losing hope for the future. Just look at the recent surveys where 65% of people are uncertain of the future.

You mentioned previously that you are not a great role model however you…[Read more]

To be RICH and HAPPY is the quintessential dream and desire of most people yet few of us become RICH and not many achieve genuine personal HAPPIENESS

Why is That?

So do you believe as well Foundation this may happen.

We went through the high interest rates in the early 90’s and hit 19.33% on a standard home loan – this country would crash today at 10% IMHO

He does have some very interesting points collected from his team of experts.

Ther are too many brokers around any way – where i live there is 11 brokers and 5 banks on the same road, surley these people must be find it hard to survive – thats why they are giving cash back to get the business …

IMHO

Jessmont well said,

Hey just had a thought, how much money are each of the moderators worth and what is their opinions on wealth creation.

D

I think Florida is the go, similar to Bris/Gold Coast but closer and greta beaches …

Very good ideas

Replace the letter box

Put large numbers on the house at least 150mm high

In drought conditions use lots of mulch and redirect the water from basins and sinks to water them – why put it down the drain when it acts likes rain.

Trim large trees to let in more light

How about window boxes at the front

Oh Simon 3 women in your life god is giving you a lesson i am sure ha ha …

1 – I believe that women prefer to deal with women professionals as men in the past are like slick car sales men, while women take more care and attention.

2 – Men wants lots and lots – mine is bigger than yours bla bla – women are content with less, its not a race its…[Read more]
