hehe – very funny..

richmond queensland coastal property is good – no argument here! although you gotta watch global warming – could get too hot!!!

any aircon buisnesses for sale up there – good time to get in

hehe (tounge firmly in cheak)

i wouldnt bet the house on it either. but its worth considering as a major influence in your overall portfolio…

the trend is your friend…

richmond – you are defensive. your tone including your reference to Mc Mansions and your sister just show that you have a superiority thing going. lose it, accpet you arent always right .

i hope your last comment was your last buut i doubt it!!

richmond – apology accepted.

i guessing you read the bit about people in the know saying bass coast will grow twice (population) as fast as the state average….hehe

your other points are noted and fair enough.

the point i was trying to make was a person asked if anyone thought philip island was a good investment.

i suggested due to

richmond – lets agree to disagree – but i can tell you still havent read the aticles – they quote figures in that! my turn of phrase was based on fact…

anyway lets move on..

richmond – please mate. you think im making up things by saying people in the know…it was a turn of phrase. i didnt expect to be attacked like im a bullshitter. and the ‘lots of people’ gag is silly…most people dis holiday houses so whos following who??

read API magazine and you will see that there is a school of thought that holday houses…[Read more]

richmond – i didnt think youd take the bet. lots of people have bought holiday houses because of the projected baby boomer phenom. its a valid investment stratgey..

cheers

g’day richmond. you must admit there is a contradiction there. one line you say you wouldnt call holiday houses an investment and in the next line you talk about what a geat investment it was and how it has set you up!!

you are quite right that the returns arent there at the moment but i believe that capital growth will still be better than the…[Read more]

‘i say bring in a flat rate personal income tax’…

marc (or should i say Mr Burns) – another balanced pearl of wisdom…keep up the interesting work.

cmon richmond – what you got against holiday houses. i know you sold one in blairgowrie recently..

the boom has ended but there is still growth to me had in my humble opinion.

the market is different now due to the baby boomers. so if there is a down turn i reckon its the middle suburbs that are gonna be effected. the boomers are the ones cashed…[Read more]

because the people who know are projecting huge further growth. also by comparison its much cheaper than the other coasts…so in short the bass coast was undervalued…

entry level is still reasonable – 200-250k
(comparitvely reasonable b4 you jump)

the growth is inline with the hallam, berwick, cranbourne, packenham corridoor…huge growth and…[Read more]

has anyone actually been able to access this link?? i cant!

if you read the latest property investor magazine you will realise that philip island is currently going tthrough a boom and will rpbably do so for some time. so its a great investment in my opinion.

less than 2 hours from melb, baby boomers, new developments everywhere. projected huge population growth for the bass coast…….you cld do much…[Read more]

i agree with scott – you mentioned that you NEED a car.

what happened to public transport?? i agree 15k car is too much. your car is wrth more than you!!! what about a 5k car??

unless you are driving 100km to get to uni!!! and if this is the case then maybe you should look at renting with other students closer to university..

an important…[Read more]

the only difference with bob is that ‘I criticise what i dont understand’ – the times they are a changin’

love a conspiracy…

stifla – good suburbs to chose. i live in one of them and i reckon all of them present good value. ie they are all growth suburbs.

problem is return in these suburbs although above average is probably only 3-4 pct. slightly higher for units. so if you borrow a large percentage of that 400-440 k you are talking a fair bit of your own money….

crashy – all i know is that they have a primary obligation to provide you with safe ammenities. if its a area water problem than that is a different kettle of fish.

you can use my name if you like but yes they will probably hang up. i hang up on myself sometimes. good luck..

hi michael. i agree with you totally – i too learnt alot from his book and must admit its very motivating.

ther reason im having a go is that some on the forum have been comparing Spanns methods to Steves methods, and sofar the debate has been very one sided. surprisingly so…

cheers
