Hi all Just my thoughts…… I to agree the world financially is pretty toxic at the moment and has been since 2006. Seems everyone, every sector, in every country is being hit hard. The only shining light is the worldwide mining industry. We have strategically sold down our portfolio of six properties to two since 2006.…[Read more]

Gee Property Investor1, if I didn't know any better i'd think you were PennyBaker's brother. Again, pretty over-the-top with 'glowing praises' considering this is your first post. Like Penny, most people will read your post with a grain of salt.

So Guys I am interested to hear how you went with the courses and info

Hello RitaI have built a house with a seperate granny flat but that was in NSW- I had to have 2 seperate electricity meters so I could have 2 seperate electricity accounts which also meant the the granny flat was wired seperately – I would speak with your property manager – you may need to rent out the properties at a higher rent but with…[Read more]

Positively cash flow properties definately exist, and yes I have seen many properties that fit into Steve's 11 second rule. Though I haven't seen any of these properties in capital cities, only in rural areas. But not so rural that you could never get anyone to rent it.It Australia it seems that most of the positive cash flow…[Read more]

Hi MarieNO just after one myself – happy to share

OjayJoint Ventures are an excellent strategy to fast track your returns in property but they are also fraught with danger. I have been involved in a number JV's for over 10 years now and have done very well for both my partners and myself. There must be a level of trust established before going down this path and you must look into the legal…[Read more]

Kelly I am interested in purchasing your tickets – I need to ensure that they are transferable – Just had a problem where I bought  Tickets from a mate to attend a Ccorp seminar but then could go as they were NOT Transferable according to Ccorp – But that was probably a good thing based on what I am reading about Carly Crutchfield on the carly…[Read more]

Hello Be rich by 2012I have applied a couple of excellent strategies that have worked for me over the years – Subdividing is one of them as is building duplexes (another form of subdivision) – I am currently building 4 Duplexes in NSW – Total cost is $550k per duplex pair with an estimated market value of $660K on completion – rent returns based…[Read more]

One question about the Tickets – Are they definately transferable – I just had a situation with Carly Crutchfield and Ccorp where i purchased her Bootcamp tickets from a mate but they would NOT allow me to attend saying that the tickets were NOT Transferable – it was al very silly but based on the info I am reading on the carly cruthfield exposed…[Read more]

Hi All – seems that all the attention is on QLD – which is lucky for me – I have been investing in the Hunter valley since 2003 and  have done very very well out of that – the trick I have found is to find a market niche and stick to it – also to focus on towns with more than just mining (if possible) – Just returned from a trip to QLD and very…[Read more]

I think to answer the question that research and due diligence needs to be applied – I have found that Terry Ryders Hotspotting reports provide great unbiased info
