Yea, thanks Dazzling, you sure fit my definition of “one of us” – the smaller players.

At least you’ve shown the guts to do it, even if you haven’t reaped the rewards – YET (love that word, you can use it any time to excuse almost anything, especially in investing!!).

Let us know when the harvest comes in; meantime, I think this feels and seems…[Read more]

Yes, sorry I know Peter is an Aussie, but what I meant was have any little investors – such as me – been involved in land banking? If so, they are the ones I want to hear about.

Peter Spann is too big and Stephen Cleeve and his sort are so short on honesty, that what I’m looking for is a normal sort.

Hope I am not being a pain. But you all say…[Read more]

Thnaks kp. It seems that it is a winner and I feel more confident. It also seems that no one has really done it yet in Australia. But, hey, that’s not a reason not to do it.

If anyone has done it, it would be real good to hear from them.

Any one out there???!!![biggrin]

Leo

Thanks a lot. That’s the sort of info I was looking for. How nice to see something seemingly feesable in Oz rather than something crooked in the UK.

Still, it’s a big cost, so maybe a regional center that’s growing or a syndicate is the way to go.

Be good to get some thoughts from others.

Thanks anyway

Leo

Thanks Hellman. I am aware of the cons of land banking but that’s not what I am talking about.

Done well, it must have potentual, surely?

The basic concept has a good feel to it.

Whether or not this dude is a shark, there is something pretty rotten about a person using a fake name to muddy the real name of another.

Hey Nat B, if you want to bag someone as badly as this, don’t do it in a cowardly way. State your real name in full and all your contact details.

That’s gonna test your courage.

And yes, I know lots of other…[Read more]

Hi Rob

They’re talking about you!!

On the weekend a mate of mine said he had been to an Investors Club ‘do’ and someone read out your posts from this site. Wow!!

Apparently, the reply was a bit rude, something along the lines of he (you) is just a broke mortgage broker who has never invested successfully in his life and has to save up to catch…[Read more]

Rob. I take your point, maybe I need to look at the other sight more diligently. I will say that this site is a lot easier to read so probably that’s why I have read more posts and perhaps I have just seen too much of the bully-boy pack-dog types.

I don’t mind someone advertising but what I don’t like is when my words are taken as an almost…[Read more]

You are a funny fella. Don’t ya have a social life or are you in between partners or is it a drought – or what?

See ya

Leopold

P.S. Yea, I agree that there seems to be a lot of agents in the other place and they surely don’t like fixed commissions.

They don’t really mean it. It’s just a heat of the moment reaction, that’s all.

Hi Rob

Sorry to hear you got banned. What user name do you use?

While I like your posts here, I must say that the other crowd are so far ahead, it’s just no contest.

Banning? Hey, I have been watching this forum and seen what happens if anyone steps almost an inch outta line. If you don’t worship raps and the host, you’re going to cop it.And,…[Read more]

Rob, Sorry mate, but I am going to have to side with Pelican. It is NOT my intention to upset people (especially rappers) and it is clear that Pelican is getting increasingly upset with yours and my points. He does not like the way this is going and he wants the topic locked before another debate on rapping leads to the only obvious…[Read more]

I am sure your right. Not all rappers intend to be rippers; it’s the method which means that many well-meaning people get suckererd into it thinking that it’s legit. One of the biggest blunders made by the NRs (nasty rappers) is to pontificate that raps and vendo r finance are the same thing. Real vendo r finance means the buyers get to see their…[Read more]

Rob, Well, buddy, you are right. What a rude and angry fellow that Pelican is. I have no intention of being the same in reply because I think that bad manners are a sign of a bad character. Also, no matter how rude some rappers may be I can understand how nerve-wracking it must be to live on both the legal and moral edge. And all for a few measly…[Read more]

At the risk of being attacked and abused – which, I gather, is one reason why so many are so reluctant to post on this forum – I must say that Kay has got it right and Pelican, as well-intentioned as he may be, has got it wrong with his fairness comment.

The simple philosophical, moral or ethical fact is this – “There is no right way to do the…[Read more]

Er no, far from it. It’s a family show!!

Rob’s analysis of TIC is excellent. It is one of the best I have seen and all budding investors would be wise to heed his wisdom in this instance.

Perhaps he read the report in one of the papers last year which contained this quote…

“The Investors Club is nothing more than a pretend form of organisation to sell overpriced and overvalued real…[Read more]

Rob, Did you see Meet The Fokkers? If so, you’ll know what I mean when I say,

“I am wathcing you.”

Keep going.

Hi Robert

I am what you all call a “lurker”. I read the posts from time to time and often smile at the wide variance in advice and opinions. Sometimes it really scares me to see how bad investing advice is hailed as great and other times I nod knowingly at some gems of wisdom.

I must say that I have to congratulate you on your take on TIC. And,…[Read more]
