Property values in Queenstown do not grow at a rate worth investing. In my opinion save for a while till you can afford a quality property.
Say you buy 5 proerties in Queenstown for $50k. and end up with $2k postive cash flow on each. In 10 years as there is little or no growth you still have the same properties returning similar amount $10k.
In 2003 Queenstown had the highest CG growth then any where in australia according to the Australian about 2 weeks ago.
How far does it go if it allows u to travel to a cafe and still use it?
I am currently using sygate, too many hackers have told me that zone alarm is the easiest firewall to get thru, I have no idea if this is true or, they could be full of it…………LOL
As for the rest I have a bit more to learn I think before I can understand it completely.
Thanks all, I ended up booking in the bigpond cable special for $69, not only is it faster then ADSL, but I get a further 10% off on my entire home and mobile phone bill[] with no upfront cost …………..Thanks Matt
IT actually work out cheaper then dial up for me, subtract every time I dial up and every call I have to return from my message bank, and subtracting the 10% discount on my phone bill I will be much better off financially.
TPG was my second option on their $49 unlimited plan
heheheheh Fibejebe I to was on the school debate team not to mention the captain of it ..LOL, im told there are still videos used at that school of me debating to teach the students of today..LOL OMG I don’t know if I like that or not, however I remember the teachers use to take great pleasure in making me debate things I felt strong about but on the opposite side to my beliefs. That was a great teacher for me in early life to realise there are 2 sides to every argument and both sides can actually be right.
Same old same old..YES I agree we can all find our own properties, and I really don’t think it is that hard. However, some people lack motivation, don’t have the skills required or are just too busy, or for what reason it just don’t matter.
I have lawns in my yard and if I don’t get time to mow them I hire some else to do it and gladly pay them for their time.
I’m sure every one in this forum has hired some one for what ever reason be it a plumber, electrician mechanic, etc etc, I was once the type of person that did everything myself to save money, but later in life realised it was costing me money as my time was more valuable spent in other areas.
Dont judge others for the way they choose to live differently to your own life.
It doesn’t matter what ocean we are talking about wether it be the Pacific or Indian Ocean, the wrap ocean, sales or shares ocean. Where SHARKS see prey they will enter the waters and feed off them. It doesn’t mean everything of every body is doing the same. Morals lie within the individual. I believe people can obtain that win/win in wraps with the right morals in place, but not by the sharks.
I personally believe I am a very good judge of character and believe that Steve is genuine about seeking win/win for all concerned, as are many others. But yes others will take advantage of others less fortunate like those in the law balling thread that say gain from others misfortune. I would like to think before I low ball I would look at the big picture. If they are selling and in financial dire straights, I would like to think as long as I know I can make a profit, I would pay as much as I could to help them also. But wouldn’t have a problem low balling some one I know has had 100% cg in the last 6 months.
That’s just my 2 cents worth.
Too many people judge other people they don’t know on what their experiences maybe with other people! As Steve says, WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE DON’T KNOW! That is the problem.
Good on ya mate you have worked out a strategy that works for you and that’s fantastic. But that same strategy would not work for me and my circumstances.
Some one made the comment that the capital cities have the best CP growth? Well Kay has posted a link in the forum that shows the town with the highest cp in 2003 was a small rural country town. 100% within 3 months. Guess what I have invested in that town and didn’t pay anywhere near $250k more like $27k and its Positive cash flow to. HMMMMM I hear the mouse clicks looking for that link right now ………..LOL
Thanks for the offer Leigh, but honestly if I was in a position to do that im sure I would have found the money to buy them. Although im considering purchasing the house coming up for sale next to my other property. It only needs basic Reno’s but smells to hi heaven, I think the house was used as a indoors farm……..LOL WE have been considering moving there tho.
Thanks again but if we move we may just be able to help out if im not too busy doing my stuff…….LOL, having said that I have enough on my plate this end at the moment, and working on other demographic areas at present.
Great opportunity for any unemployed builders wanting a working holiday tho
I don’t know why agents do this but I know for a fact some houses are sold b4 they even get on the net. That was the case for the house I purchased in Queenstown and others I saw while there that were sold, but put on the net a week or so later. I also know the house next to the one I purchased is going up for sale shortly and I KNOW that will be very cheap. Possibly even less then $15,000.
This house you refer to was sold this morning I have been informed, and yes it was a new listing, but I was informed while I was in Queenstown that it may be going on the market soon.
Well its sold anyway guys and it was the house im thinking of. It was sold in about 30 minutes of being on the net. Some one that wants to live in it. Would have been a great house after spending around 10-20k on it, still a cheap house. Any big renovation jobs in Queenstown unless u have someone lined up to do it, it’s just not worth it as it will take a long time to get done with the labour available there. Great place for a young family to move to tho I reckon
If this were the property I think it is, I wouldn’t consider purchasing unless prepared to live there and do the work yourself. However, if some one knows of some one near by that can do the work, that would be different.
