    ADMS,

    Congratulations on having your present position with $200k in your pocket.

    Depending on what is your long term goal in life. If you are keen into the world of property investing. I believe you might have taken some steps in educating yourself toward your goal. Steve’s mentoring program might be whortwhile for you to consider if you haven’t.

    Cheers,

    Sound like a good suggestion Paul.
    What kind of joint venture terms you are offering of the two example cases you highlighted. Please PM me if you don’t mind.

    Hi Ian,
    Wouldn’t it be inconvenience to invest in China, if someone doesn’t have a friend or relative there.
    And By the way, what are the conditions for a foreigner to invest in the mainland?

    thanks,

    How is property management in Shanghai nowadays?
    I dropped by at one of Century21 offices, and a few REA there, in Sept 2004. To my suprise they didn’t have property management service?

    I think for a beginner it’s hard to feel comfortable for buying a property unseen.
    Margaret Lomas, in her book, ‘A pocket guide to investing in Positive cash flow property’ gives 20 checkpoints to safely buy something unseen.

    I bought two properties there in mid 2004. Initially, the gross rental return were around 7 and 7.7%. But because the secoden stage of the alumina project was postponed, the weekly rent dropped from $280 to $250, and the second one from $240 to $200, after being vacant for nearly 3 weeks each. According to the local REA, rental market is quite steady now. No one knows when the project will be resumed. If it happens, certainly the rent rate will climb up again. In a nut shell, the rental market is very project dependant.

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Hi Yack,
    Where have you been? Haven’t heard from you for ages. It sounds to me you are more to other forums than this one, aren’t you. I used to read all of your threads in this forum.
    I hope you would continue participating in this arena.

    All the best

    Hi Dom,
    Watch out for Martin Ayles’s next seminar or book on renovation/development in the near future (if there will be any). What a pity seats for his coming workshop in 3/3/06 have sold out.

    Hi Alistair,

    How much does it cost to get a DA for a normal residential land. Say, for building a duplex or two detached houses. Some one quoted me about $8,000 for the DA, And another $4,000 for a CC.
    Are they quite resoanable?

    Thanks,
