Hi,
How interesting. My post seems to be soliciting responses from people named Peter. I couldn’t help but think “… Peter Piper’s picked a peck of positively geared properties”
Peter Stevens, thanks very much for yours. I’ve ordered a copy of Aus Prop Invest. to have a look at your article. I greatly appreciate your offer of an exchange of ideas and would like to take you up on that. Will post again once I’ve read the article.
Peterp, thanks for your sage and sensible thoughts and for taking the time. In the end I didn’t buy either property I was looking at and am now planning to see about a long term lease in the house I rent and persuing investing wisely.
Like a lot of people on this forum have said the +ve geared property is very elusive (and I am in a position to spend a lot of time looking). However, I shall continue to research and see what unfolds.
My thanks
Julie
Hello,
To Bear1964 – thanks for your very positive feedback. It has been hard but having someone else see my life as inspiring helps me to view things in a different and positive way and be further inspired myself
Holland is an interesting option. I’ve been to Amsterdam only once. Great place. You’re fortunate to have a dual passport. Won’t the difference in currency value be a bit of a killer?
To Melbear – Thanks again for your advice. To get your detailed response was a great help at the time. As it turned out the auction result on the house I wanted was $60,000 above what I could afford anyway. So my stressing turned out to be wasted.
I am now looking at investment although I am certainly being stumped by Steves’ 11 Second Solution. I know there is another forum topic on this which I will follow with interest. I have only just started but it is clear that such properties are going to be very hard to find.
Thanks for your support.

Dear Mel,
Thank you so much for the response. Was so hoping to get some feedback and it was so sweet to find that someone had taken the time. I really appreciate it and see that these forums are going to be very useful.
Realised in retrospect that my message was probably too long and contained too much detail, however it serves as some kind of introduction I suppose.
Your opinions have been very helpful in that it helps me get some clarity on this issue. I have been thinking about the whole issue of paying off the existing properties and buying +ve CF ones vs my own home and additional debt.
Thanks for all your ideas including those regarding my mum’s property and particularly the one regarding the kids. They are teenagers and I have been thinking that it would be a great education for them to get involved. That way they can work towards their own financial independance much earlier than I did.
Many thanks,
Julie
