Ha ha ha, HAAAA ha ha, HHHAAA haa haaa.Your Funny.NO seriously. I suggest you stop looking for houses and start looking for units if you want to spend under $450K within 12Km's of the CBD.But be very aware of buying even a unit in this overpriced market. If (very unlikely) the prices do continue to rise, then Mr Glenn Stevens will hammer up the…[Read more]

Hi Harb,I have seen that graph before, it looks like Niall Fergusson's work.That fact that the House price Index goes up exponentially is very misleading and kills all credibility.

Devo76, I didn't mention anything about selling property. The transaction costs would make that a pretty silly idea, especially when house price falls (or rises) are predictions.However what I am trying to implicate, is that in the current climate I believe it would be wise to keep your money in the bank (if, that is, you have some money in the…[Read more]

Holy crap Eloi, ever heard of spell checker?Crusty, you have to compare apples with apples. You mention that money in the bank will be subjected to 3% inflation per year? And what about property, you don't think that inflation will also erode the value of your property? You also need property to go up by 3% a year in value to keep up with…[Read more]

I am reminded of a house I looked at recently, which backed onto a busy road.Great price, great house. But when standing in the backyard, the noise was unbearable.I would not live there, and if alot of other people share my view, If the discount isn't 30% or greater I would avoid.Especially if it fronts onto the busy road. The tenant turnaround…[Read more]

Hi All,Have you read this article? http://www.smh.com.au/business/housing-bubble-trouble-for-the-middle-class-20100817-127lv.htmlAn interesting read.

Try writing a book, and selling it. The income you get from book sales should help you buy more properties…You could call the book:0 to 131 properties in 3.4 years.

Hi Philip,Thanks for your posts. I have checked out your website, and I am surprised that you seem to be a little bit bearish towards Australian property at the moment. I would have thought that due to your vested interest in the future of Australian house prices, you would promote bullish views?I appreciate your honesty.

…and why the hell do my comments always post twice?????

Hi All,I am new to this site, and have noticed alot of people asking about the effectiveness of certain seminars, programs, etc.I would have thought that if their ideas/knowledge/information was so effective, then why promote it? Why not just keep the information to yourself and become extremely wealthy by utilising this knowledge?Do you really…[Read more]

DWolfe, why have I spent two years researching? Because two years ago when I was 18 years old and still on apprentice wages I don't think diving into property "speculation" would have been appropriate….and two years of researching is telling me that 6.51% in the bank is probably the best bet at the moment in this uncertain market.Property might…[Read more]

But I can't quite figure it out….I have read and researched every thing possible about property investing for over 2 years…and as much as I would like to purchase an investment property, everything I have learnt is saying NO! Don't Buy!…[Read more]
