    g’day westan

    last week when you replied to gianni the returns you mentioned were a little worse than 60k for 120 per week

    is the rent improving in these areas??

    geoff

    remember this agent probably had a vested interest.

    also remember that was what melbourne agents said about geelong and bendigo 2 years ago and their capital growth has outstripped melbournes in that time.

    i think there are opportunites in all areas you just have to sniff them out – and they might not necessarily mean +ve cashflow bargains.

    g’day lawrie

    you are right

    i knocked back an opportunity showing 12 pct return (a few months back).

    although the return was good it didnt meet the other criteria i had set.

    cheers

    growing up two things were always distilled into me

    1) critial thinking
    2) being a descerning consumer

    both are quite underrated in the rush for material gain.

    regina – i agree with all you said
    except the bit about buying a home now being no more difficult. i just have to open the newspaper

    home affordability at all time lows, property booms, young people leaving university with huge hecs debt etc etc

    g’day shezien

    unfort it doesnt meet the 11 second theory.

    at rent of 253 per week you shld only pay 125,000
    for the property (at the most)

    cheers

    g’day mcdeyess

    i reckon

    – the govt shld leave the market alone – any reductions in stamp duty etc will only push the price further

    – we should all spend more time reading the sports pages and wait for the market to correct itself.

    the problem is no one is sure whats going on and this includes the polies

    if you want good capital gains my suggestion is the bass coast in victoria. highest regional population growth in the state, comparitively low entry level (compared to surfcoast), on the coast to take advantage of the baby boomer migration.

    average for positive cashflow

    philip island and inverloch and surrounds
    all 2 hours from melbourne

    and no im not on the local council

    cheers

    i agree with benson completely.

    surely the best lessons are based on more than a fable about a rich old man.

    if thousands of people are basing their investment empire mostly on a story that was fictional than that is a worry.

    i guess the key is to treat all advise with a degree of sceptisism. ive read his books and found them very insightful and motivating – but thats it – nothing more and nothing less.

    and to be frank i dont care how happy rk ‘looks’ or how ‘attractive’ his wife is.

    alan bond looked pretty happy with life when he won the americas cup.

    3 cents

    g’day garfield

    heeps of people have interest only loans.

    i think due to the ‘hot’ market people are changing back to p&i. more equity is safer
    should the market change.

    g’day magnum

    personally i think fear and pessimism are two differnt things. pessimism is negative and fear
    can be both + or -. infact fear is probably the driving determinant of all social behaviour (deep eh)

    fear is good if it builds awareness. and awareness is good it it leads to the truth…
    if that makes sense.

    and by the way time maybe the essense of investing but remember the story about the turtle and the hare.

    your asking questions so your on the way

    cheers

    on my calender today, which by the way very interesting quote for investors

    ‘the money saved for a rainy day now buys a smaller umbrella’…..WGP

    my favourite is from kurt vonneut who said
    ‘never trust a man in a suit’
