    . I remember reading on a post though that you should be careful not to purchase too many properties in the same area.

    Spreads risk, evens out returns. Not the most aggressive strategy but one I am comfortable with when I get tucked in at night.

    Cabo welcome to the “A/Mod drag racing forum”

    Yep it is Jim Rowleys 1974 Statesman that he ran A/mod in. Ran 11.68 and 132mph (on diff runs).

    Car ran pro stock by invitation was driven too and from the track with monster tyres and tunnel ram. Had a Hone O Dive, 4.56 on the track and 3.19 on the street. Wheels up launches with licence plate and no cage. Also castlereagh in those days was a slippery track. Read beat Garlits there as he could not come to terms with lack of traction.

    Street top speed 172 MPH (and we are not talking theoretical) AND it was not me …..please don’t ask me where

    Now mechanically restored back to its undriveable condition.

    Sorry what was the question again….

    Oh yeah, it was part of the positive cash flow thing, back way before it was a buzz word, Have a colleague whose client bought 10 for around 1.2M in early mid 90s. They had a great rate of return. Buying in that number you became your owner manager of risk from tennant, and could get some leaverage with management as you had a nice parcel.

    All west of Blacktown

    Electrolux closed, and as long as the auto makers keep talking about closures, I think Adelaide will be iffy.

    It make not fit the facts but that I think is the perception outside Adelaide.

    Sorry the ABC report mentioned that they expected vacancies to rise due to the upcoming unit /apartment /townhouse releases.

    Small error, big difference.

    Thank you Foundation, it is nice to have some numbers to play with.

    Interesting you mentioned MEWing, I recently refinanced, and found that the lender of my choice would not go much past $500,000. that was fine because it met my needs, but I was puzzled as my income levels we at their highest ever.

    Commented that I was surprised by this and puzzled at the low income owners with their million dollar property portfolios all covered by debt. He smiled and commented that all accountants are not as honest as mine, and between low doc loans and fake tax paperwork, people can basically get what they want. (brings a new meaning to the “need a investor savy accountant” threads we often see.)

    Compare this with the 1980’s where you had to give the bank your first born boy, before they would give you 70% of 95% (their value).
    The explosion of easy money, the rise of the spruiker, the media bandwagon, HOT BLOCK BACKYARD WHATEVER, and the suspension of common sense, has provided for a very interesting time. The real fun time is yet to come. Problem is if you actually know any of these poor people it somehow looses the humour.

    Cabo in Sydney before the cashflow positive buy a knockdown buzz got going, most investors advoided the west, it gave lously returns had poorer tennant (in all meanings) and the bad CG was self fulfilling.

    I know a lot of people bought their investment property there because they could not afford elsewhere, but also remember a few who bought ten or more.

    What people did was be a personal trustee of the fund.

    The bank therefore is ignorant that the superfund is providing the deposit, and is borrowing on the title, and will lend.

    It is illegal , but went on big time during the boom. Once heard that the biggest creator of super funds in 2003 were RE agents.

    Absolutley agree, its the bottom end supported by investors that goes first.

    Other example is the famous St.Clair property bought for $450k, that the bank had to give the new buyer $250,000 and two round the world plane tickets (business class), before he would take it. I was holding out for first class, maybe I should have accepeted when the auction went to economy.

    My favourite part was the hype from the RE agent who bought it, to say “there has never been a better time to buy “.

    Question is will western Sydney drag down the rest.

    I would like to know how many Syndey investors, have used the slowly disappearing equity in their homes to buy into overpriced Perth.

    Know of a few personally, I think the Sydney boom, has been a significant contributor to the Perth boom.

    Don’t think it is all Perth locals.
