    Westan and Alvin helped me get started – i now have a good few in NZ that are all CF +ve – great growth in the last 15 mths – i am looking to go again – fundamentals make the deal – keep it simple – whilst appreciating growth wont always be as strong
    Any investors who bought years ago really chaep?

    yes very good, very good….what about a house of ill repute?

    The previous property manager should have actually told me prior to letting – they should be held liable!

    Thanks for everyone’s feedback.

    If I can throw my two cents in – Vatel – yes the market does sound a bit heated in areas and those absolute bargains are harder to find but that shouldn’t stop you.

    I remember when all the talk in Sydney around 1999-2000 was everyone thought they would be able to pick up bargains in Sydney post-Olympics when the market was ‘supposed’ to come right off? Well they were wrong and could have got set then alot cheaper then when they eventually did in 01-02.

    Do your due diligence and something will eventually stand out.

    My experience in NZ (i am a Sydney sider) has been great due to the fact I did my due diligence (albeit all internet based), used Westan (bird dog) and just went for it.

    The combined value (around $150k) of the places I bought have nearly doubled in just 12 mths – all are positively geared.

    Good luck.

    thx Westan – I actually used you guys to buy the first two ptys – spoke to Alvin mostly – the service you provided was first class!
    i viewed those investments as long term anyway so any quick upside will only allow me to use equity to go again sooner than later (hopefully)
    your US biz sounds intriguing – do you have any info readily available?
