Tell us something we dont know. Its the herd who pays $1200 for Steves courses and its those courses and Books that pay for this web site. Once the herd starts loosing money and becomes disillusioned then the real players can make more money.

Why dont you have a 100 word limit.

Try another, then another.

No property is uninsurable. The only thing is the premium. Somebody will insure it for. Its just a matter of working our what price an insurance company is prepared to receive to carry the risk.

Go to an insurance Broker – they should be able to help. They want your commission.

I suppose it does. I am not comfortable at this point of time to look at places like that.

I doubt Steve will be there.

He may charge you all $1200 to discuss the proposed agenda.

But I do understand he did attend a vendor finance evening a few months back.

Good luck with it Krazy.

I just have concerns for the future (next 2-5 yrs). We had a rate increase of 0.5% and my latest property purchase in 2002 probably has gone down 10%.

I only see interest rates going up again. I have fixed rates.

I cant see how we can keep property prices where they are now. How can a newly married couple afford a property worth $300k, when…[Read more]

I like to hear alternative views as well. I still believe there are inherent long term problems with positive geared properties. ie. rural properties dont appreciate as quickly as surburban/city properties.

Investing is really about buying assets that appreciate and make you wealthy over a period of time.

I dont believe everthing I…[Read more]

I totally agree with the comments of Wayne L.

The same thing happened in sharetrading forums at the start of the bear sharemarket.

First, people get narky and argumentitive, then visitors start dropping off.

Sign of a bear market folks.

a) Whether your first porperty was a PPOR or an IP,
PPOR
b) What made you think about buying a first property?
Did not like paying rent and paying off their loan.
c)When you found the one you bought, why do that one suit?
The loan was under control. 2 bed unit accross the road from beach and walking distance to station. Wish I still had it but…[Read more]

I dont do interstate for the reasons you mentioned. But there are others that do eg. Westan. But for how long have they done it? Thats what I would like to know!!!!!!

Go have a look. The land is probably falling down towards a cliff. Or your next door to the new mine being developed. Or your 3000kms from Brisbane.

Ho Hum. Probably same article as last year – just changed the date. How many times, have I read this type of article.

Well its hardly free land then. Obviously its taken into account in working out the split or joint venture.

What happens if there is a dispute. The land is in their name, the building is on their land. You are stuck with bills in your name.

No thanks.

Yeah – i got this email from a colleague at work. Well worth a read. Makes sense.

Where is their land situated? Near the black stump?????

Who really wants to meet. I can think of 100 other things I would rather do on a Sunday afternoon.

Talking property investing is not one of them.

Well Done. My confidence in these forums being a little more balanced has increased considerably.

Can we keep posts to the topic?

I disagree with Jenman in this case.

If you have a fixed term to sell your property and the agent has been unsuccessful in selling the property then you are free to sell it even if the person had viewed the property while it was being marketed with an agent.

I dont care about his motives. His view on this I…[Read more]

I try and find a balance.

I have a well paid job that i dont really enjoy ( well there are good and bad days) – so I’m not like Westan – eventhough I would like not to work.

We have done Merimbula the last 2 yrs and did the gold coast last year and even took my parents. Later this year my wife and kids are off to Canada for my sister in laws…[Read more]
