I reckon the good thing about shows like Location Location, internet forums, and the right books is that for next-to-nothing, you can learn about these ‘tricks of the trade’ which agents use – and be aware of them.

I haven’t had much experience with auctions, so I know I learned something from reading this thread. Thanks yack for sharing…[Read more]

If you’re after an accountant, I’d certainly put a call into Dale Gatherum-Goss – from what I’ve seen, he knows property and tax in Australia, so give him a call and see whether he would be a good ‘fit’ for your team.

If you want to read an article which he wrote, check out this wraps discussion paper…[Read more]

Just confirming that the book Steve refers to IS Robert Allen’s book “Nothing Down for the 90’s”. I believe there is a prequel and sequel to the book. I haven’t seen it around much – probably the best places to try would either be online through a site like Amazon, or through a large chain like Borders.

Also, make sure you check out the article…[Read more]

Hi KiwiZena,

I know you can’t always look into a crystal ball and predict the next boom suburb, but if you wanted to have a look at some historical figures to help you out, the REIV has a cool tool which allows you to compare median price trends and performance for Melbourne suburbs (or at least they had it last time I checked).

Check out…[Read more]

Hi,

As I said to someone late last week, if anyone has a problem with how a moderator has dealt with with an issue, e-mail or PM me directly. I will look into it, and deal with the problem as necessary.

I think that the bulk of the time the Moderators do an awesome job – particularly since they’re freely volunteering their time to help run the…[Read more]

This has run its course.

Hi Elvis,

I think I’m going to need to pass this one to someone more technically adept.. I’m not sure if I understand the difference between bookmarks and the page at https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/subscription_list.asp which is a list of topics I’m subscribed to.

I’m in IT as a trade, and in my opinion to take a 6 week break, well they must have worked some long hours or the employer is ignorant of the IT job market. I’m sure there are other web developers that would do the job without a holiday. Do they get a manicure once week as well?

OPM,

E-mail admin at propertyinvesting dot com and I’ll have another username and password sent out to you. Hopefully this will solve the problem

Great work Daisy []

I think it’s odd that more people don’t use the forums to arrange more meetings in their towns and cities[?]
Get together with some like-minded people etc.

There are over 31,000 members on PropertyInvesting.com – why not tap into the resource?

Hi Jaffasoft,

I think we may have found the cause.

Because of your last post, it made me take another look at what was actually happening…
I went through the code, and initially couldn’t see any javascript focus code, or onload code which would move the focus to the top of the screen. But, I did find a .js file.

I asked Alister about this,…[Read more]

How often does it get updated?

errr, not often enough.. []

What do you think about having the facilities for a chat room so you could schedule online property investing ‘meetings’ on a set topic, say one evening once a month?

Brent

Thanks for the broken links.
I’ll see if I can get the guys to fix this up ASAP

Brent

Let me just recap to make sure everything I understand is correct – you say that every time the page finishes loading (which can take some time), it automatically jumps up to the top of the screen?

I believe this is just how Internet Explorer works, and so far as I know, there is no feature which you can use to turn this off.

Brent

I think this topic has run its course..

*turns key and locks it*

It’s fair enough to be opinionated in the “Opinionated” forums – but nobody likes flame wars or personal attacks on the forums.
