Hi Attrill and thanks. I don't profess to be a multi-millionaire car-team owning guru, but i'm gaining some experience and having fun along the way, and I Do believe I'll get to where I want to go with the appropriate ethics, work and intelligence. I'm sure others may do so as well. You're right on with the ideas of using google earth and zoning…[Read more]

Hi Wealth4Life: thanks for your reply. To answer some of your…comments.. a – no i'm far from a tall poppy, still very much a learner learning but am going along just fine thanks for asking, long way to go yet but it's fun so far.b – no one said attending a seminar made you guilty of anything.. and if you read my posts around the place, i've…[Read more]

Hi bob, sorry to hear about that mate, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you and the folks buying, or trying to buy, houses. Agree with all of what you say above..i'm frustrated because I believe in teh fundamentals of our economy, and while it's a bit dire for some, its not all as bad as its being made out to be. Of course…[Read more]

Most of the developers won't invest into areas with a population of less than 500,000. At least not the larger national groups. Not unless, as you say, there is some mining or resources type activity there that would attract a larger population increase than the norm. Ynotnow is correct, just because the numbers may look good means not a lot in…[Read more]

attrill: i asked the same questions…. still waiting… 3 years later.. still waiting.. finding anyone who's been paid out over there is quite a task I find! i think some of the people who speak of successful students over there may mean one or two who have successfully managed to get an option over something. The confusion then arises as many…[Read more]

HI Bob, I tend to agree.. the media and to an extent government have a lot to answer for where the current moods are concerned. No one seems to be looking too closely at the underlying fundamentals, which when you get down to it, are actually quite good. Frankly I think it's irresponsible but hey what do I know.. I tend to think many are watching…[Read more]

Assumption is the mother of all mistakes and to assume anything about the project and the reasons behind the sales etc is probably not a good way forwards, especially if you're going to formulate plans based on that assumption. Unless you know something absolutely, from seeing it or hearing it first hand, or you can verify it legitimately, I'd be…[Read more]

Just as an aside to the commentary on the coal market, I work for a group that provides infrastructure services to the likes of Rio, XStrata etc, and the word from them in the last few weeks has been "we're still pushing ahead with our infrastructure projects and spending because this 'lull' (their words) isn't as bad for Australia as people think…[Read more]

Hi Polski23: my experiences and those of others with Massland are well documented, if not too well documented…. and I can't really offer more than what's been said already, but especially I'd suggest going over the post by Inthegame on page 1 of this post. I suggest you take that particular post to heart. My only suggestion is that you ask for…[Read more]

Martin, can you send me your contact details please, if you can PM an email address for communication that would be great.Thanks,Matt

Most important thing you can do at this point is investigate what sort of Development Approval you can get for the block, by speaking with Council Planning/Town Planning. Once you have an understanding of what you're allowed to, and not allowed to do, your next step would be to get some plans put together via an architect/engineer/builder. Once…[Read more]

Hi wealth4life: interesting post saying Marks' deals are 'real' and all the other info. I'd be interested in speaking with you further, off-line and in person if possible, so please PM and let me know if you're open to that as I think we may be operating in a similar space.CheersM007

Poss.. sure, PM me here if you like.

Australian Bureau of Statistics should have publicly available crime data although not sure to what level of detail. Usually LGA or similar. VICPOL Crime Stats unit may also have publically available data. That kind of thing isn't usually classified.Good luck.

HiI got a refund but only after they suspected I knew a lot more about them than they were comfortable with. I did not have to hand back any course materials either. Hope that helps.

Munchkins your email address above "order@ etc" bounces.

Agreed Michael good one. Munchkin. Most of what I have to say supports what "inthegame" says in the open forum. If you still feel you're unsure after going through the thread Michael has directed you to, PM me if you like.cheersMatt

Munchkins – I have some experiences with Massland and Mark Rolton. PM me if you like and I can relate my experiences, and this may help you decide whether to cancel or not. I'll leave it with you.

Thanks Bob, kind of what I thought.. lots of large blocks of land coming onto the market via agents with blue sky price tags and loads of 'potential'.. if resi is in demand and the houses are being sold/occupied, then the cycle usually follows that commercial/industrial to support the new residents may be on the horizon..I'm not interested in…[Read more]

yes especially if you bank in Iceland Can't respond in any meaningful fashion as I haven't seen a chart on the currency pair or followed it closely enough, so you may well be correct about the upside etc. that said, I didn't expect to see the XJO at sub 4000 either and that's happened, so my own personal risk profile at present is to sit back as…[Read more]
