Dale, i’d hardly be losing sleep over this particular thread – it’s moronic posts and topics like this one that led me to stop posting here a long time ago…

Sad to see things haven’t changed, ahh well ignorance is bliss they say…

Good luck to PI.com – i won’t be back.

Feel free to delete my “membership” as no doubt this post will no doubt…[Read more]

I have friends who just moved to New Zealand, and they are saying the same thing… [worried]

Like any market though, if you buy smart, you shouldn’t have to worry too much. I look more at longer term potential (say 5 to 20 yrs) rather than what will happen in the next 2 or 3 yrs… [wink2]

Cheers,
Paul…

I’ve been following this thread with interest… But i’d like to have an each way bet at this stage. []
I think S.I.S has done a great job to achieve what he has at such a young age, well done !! As far as the HECS thing is it really anyone elses business when or if he pays back the debt ?? I’d rather see a guy “take advantage” of the system to…[Read more]

I’ve done some sniffing around and obtained some figures from my old man who has been buying his own real estate since before i was born… Here’s a few interesting facts he told me:

In 1981 he bought a place in Valentine NSW (Newcastle area) which he paid 48k for. That same house is now worth about 420k.

In 1985 he bought two properties in…[Read more]

Welcome back Bill… It’s been kind of quiet without you around !! [:p]

Someone using my address is sending them too, they also have the PI address in their address book. I know because as I am the “originator” I am getting all the rejected mail.

Simon, i’ve had the same thing happen to me. Not sure what the hell is going on, at the moment i…[Read more]

Thanks Sue for your support !! []

Rest In Peace Hookesy, seems it’s true that only the good die young… []

I really hope the thug that ran 60 metres to “king hit” Hookesy from behind is proud of his efforts. What a senseless waste of a life… [!]
Hope you spend 20 years in jail you weak bastard…

Bet we don’t see them though…

Meh, i’d rather find my own, that way if i fall on my face it’s all my own doing…

Cheers,

“I want to be rich, and stupidly happy – so far i’ve only managed to achieve the stupid part…”

Can someone post the gist of the report ??
I’m not real keen on signing up given the spam mail i’ve been getting lately…

I think the days of positive cashflow properties are pretty much gone for a few years at least, and possibly forever…

Those who bought anymore than 2 to 3 years ago are sitting pretty, but some people who have bought recently will struggle when interest rates rise, especially if values fall 10 or 20% as predicted. Plenty of inexperienced…[Read more]

Ask him why as the selling agent he so irresponsibly sold the place for less than it was worth… And ask him had he returned his commission because he felt so badly about losing money for the vendor…

And then tell him you have a bridge for sale if he is interested… [:p]

Cheers,
Paul…

That boat has well and truly sailed already. Tassie didn’t have a great deal going for it except perhaps good returns – now it doesn’t even have that !!

I remember going down to Launceston in 1996 to visit a friend i met overseas and being amazed that they paid $120 per week for a house that at the time was worth about 40k… Such a shame i was…[Read more]

Yes Kay, i saw it – didn’t believe it though… []

Pisces – Sorry mate, my post wasn’t intended as a shot at you… []

Buying property at the moment is like playing roulette – it could end up being red or black. Hmmmm….

I think things will be a lot clearer by next Christmas, my biggest problem is worrying whether or not to grab something now…[Read more]

I love the way people keep talking things up… []

Anyone who believes property is not on the slide is kidding themselves, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne – I think the interest rates still have at least another 1% rise to come in the next six months, hopefully some sanity might return to the market then…

Cheers,
Paul…

Yep, they are pretty selective about who is allowed to advertise in here and who isn’t… []

Do a google search for “somersoft forum” and maybe try your luck there…

Yep, i bought it yesterday actually, for motivation more than anything else… []

As far as buying at the moment, i’m sure there are probably a few good deals still around at the moment, but i honestly don’t think there are too many “exceptional” ones about…

Even a nice…[Read more]

There once was a guy called Bill who frequented this forum and tried to help everyone like you…
But they started a witch hunt and pretty much forced him to leave the forum… []

It’s a shame, some of us miss him – if you are still reading Merry Christmas “billfromoz”… []

Hey Bear, firstly let me say i have no problem with what you are doing – if people are silly enough to hand over $$$ for deals they could quite easily find themselves i think they deserve to be pay you a fee !! []

But others have “advertised” deals, or offered to pay for a “heads up” and have had posts locked, deleted, and/or edited…

Is it…[Read more]
