Hi Guys,
I agree with Kay, we need to take responsibility for our own mistakes. If you are going to invest in property, you should expect to make mistakes along the way. You will learn more from your mistakes than your successes.
Quite a few investors buy their houses sight unseen, I would certainly do it, after much research, but as with Celivia,…[Read more]

Thanks Richmond for the words of encouragement,
it sounded as if you were talking directly to me []
Cheers,

Thanks Mini for your comments,
insightful as always…
Steve…. I take it your post was a little tongue in cheek?
It’s a dump, but I bought there and the people are great……
Cheers,

Hi Sooshie and all,
It has been very quiet in here for the last week or so. I guess some of us have real lives that we need to attend to []
To all a merry christmas and a cashflow positive new year…

Hi Muppet,

(For future reference)
Keep smiling and a merry christmas to you,

Thanks Steve,
Sound advice…a little far to drive though []
Best option would be a working holiday, I guess.
Many people buy sight unseen, Ill admit I am a little uncomfortable with the idea.

Hi Natasha,
I have been looking at Wanganui myself for the past week. I thought about asking forum members, particularly NZ members, for advice but I didn’t want to name where I was looking at []
Well, now it’s out there and hopefully they’ll be some response…..[]
Keep smiling,
Sue

Dear Rebecca,
I think wayne explained my viewpoint better than I could have, thanks wayne []
In Oz, Jenman is everywhere. If there is a real estate story on TV you can bet there’ll be a Jenman interview (Especially if wraps are involved), I guess they know he will have an opposing view. Newspaper articles are basically the same.
Hence my quote

Good question xyzzy,
What are the chances of an audit?
Anyone care to state that they have been audited?
I was audited about 4 years ago, just a standard tax return, no properties. (Thankfully, everything checked out OK[])

hi Redwing,
I saw the same show, the developer and his bimbo []
I don’t know about other states, but in Vic there is definately no cooling off period when you buy at auction. In fact, I think I remember reading somewhere that the cooling off period is not valid if you buy within 3 days before and maybe 3 days after an auction…could be wrong here…[Read more]

hi Fibejebe,
Thaks for the info, feel a bit silly not knowing about such a large group[]
Glad to hear it wasn’t a gang, though

hi redwing,
I have read her book, “How to make an income for life” (Sorry, It’s something like that)
Anyway, it was definately a good read with plenty of everyday examples and easy explanations. She’s into positive cashflow/gearing through depreciation. Even if that’s not your cup of tea, it has plenty of other useful info in it.
Haven’t had any…[Read more]

Hi Rebecca,
It’s always interesting to read how Australia is portrayed to the rest of the world. Thanks for the article, a good read.
I did have to laugh when I saw that Neil Jenman managed to get his “two bobs’ worth in.

Hi Eausavage,
I always do a quick ring around whenever I receive an insurance renewal, usually just the major competitors. You will be surprised by the differences between companies. Some offer discounts if you have more than one policy with them.
Another alternative is to use an insurance broker, make sure they are reputable though, as a couple…[Read more]

Well, I’ve never been in the wrap forum before, I thought it might be a little beyond me…..how very enlightening this thread is []
I did love this quote though
