Rod C, !! wow!!!!

Yeah – I honestly didn’t peek….!!! that *was* a fair dinkum astute guess – and I know he’s posted there in the past.

Here’s his web site.

Actually, i was just there reading his ‘property clock’. Quite interesting!

cheers-

muppet- hi!
thanks for posting all the stuff. It’s interesting. re: the first one,

it reminds me of ktkiwi who posted here a while back and was slagging off +ve CF investing in small towns, and he turned out (whaddya know…) to have a website that on-sold property deals mainly in Auckland for a fee, a la richmastery.co.nz.

I’ve found that all…[Read more]

“Delta is the only one that is compulsary to know. ”

*wonders* ummm, as in, Delta Goodrem?

*whooshing sound as this thread goes completely over my head*

…i tried, though….

pin,
I’ll have a go,
though I’m not Steve,

” Positive cashflow. Is it really for everybody?”

no because a) some people think they don’t exist, so therefore they won’t be able to find them. b) it is estimated that only ten percent of properties in Australia are +ve cashflow (I read that somewhere) so therefore 90 percent of people can’t have…[Read more]

wotif.com.au

has brilliant deals, though only available about 10 days in advance.

At Steve’s last seminar he’d organised corporate rates which were better than the wotif rates – we ended up taking one of the deals. Maybe he’ll do that this time.

hi everyone.

re : “Yes I get sick of listening to people say they dont know where to find these properties but they keep asking so why not help. ”

I’ve been a member here for a while (since ‘before Steve was famous’) and I love to help, but these days there’s not enough time in the day to read all the posts let alone answer them all.

It seems…[Read more]

you could always buy it, subdivide, adding the strip to your property, and put the neighbour’s one back on the market – probably even getting the same price as before!!

hi dags,

try this book

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0671725580/103-2780087-5622211?v=glance

“nothing down for the 90’s”
-how to buy property with no money down”.

Apparently still appropriate today! Robert Kiyosaki’s first seminar was with this guy. I haven’t read this book but I’ve just read another one by the same guy (robert…[Read more]

“What do think of tattoos ?, “Art” or “Disgusting”. Be honest !…”

Hmm….’western’ tattoos? Art… I guess.
In a repetitive and cliched sort of way – ‘I want a butterfly on my ankle and a rose on my stomach’ . *yawn*

I work in entertainment so I know lots of people with tattoos, the best ‘art’ i saw was a guy who had only lucky symbols from…[Read more]

There is polished floorboards, new kichen, new bathroom, new fences, new gardens and new carport.

hahahah!!
Now I know the official name for what i did to my second IP!

brewza,

there was a recent thread (or a couple of them) called finder’s fees, spotters fees, –
do a search,
if no luck start a new thread

all I remember is that there were people from this forum that were interested in passing on deals they’d found but couldn’t get

there are some ‘legit’ businesses doing the same kind of thing such as…[Read more]

” I fear for a lot of people they have the herd mentality ”

Hi Erika

i don’t think so, apparently only 10 percent of Aussie IP’s are +ve CF anyway, and only 0.05 percent of Australian property investors own 3 or more investment properties. (i’m one of ’em.)

I know it seems like the herd – and i notice that the gospel of +ve gearing is spreading…[Read more]

I agree, shootingblanks,

a mix, and +ve CF properties are a great way of building up your passive income so you can afford to buy a negatively geared one

in fact I just went off an looked at some properties on the net at mcgrath.com.au

HMMMM very interesting

blah blah blah all right

you can tell people ‘it can be done, I’ve done it, i’m continuing to do it, right now, in this market’

till you’re blue in the face and they still won’t believe it, because it’s not true for *them*

And their attitude will ensure that it continues to be true for them

but what else can we do? I’ve posted pretty much my…[Read more]

Hi Martin

re:
your post. i.e. “get real!….. I challenge Steve to show me one property that satisfies the 11-second solution in Melbourne or a country location that has the kind of attributes Steve recommends ……….”

Ever since I started investing (with Steve’s method) I have been bombarded with people saying ‘that can’t be done’, ‘it won’t…[Read more]

hi belle498

welcome to the forums!!!
I think that cashflow positive properties would be an obvious answer. They are a bit thin on the ground as you tend to hear from those looking, but they are out there. Wraps are also good cashflow if you have the time to set them up but they are pretty gnarly with all the legal stuff and I think a little…[Read more]

morvyn,

wainui is probably THE suckiest suburb in wellington. I mean, it’s locked in a valley, not on the way to anywhere (except wainui), it’s a hideous place really. I looked there earlier this year and I decided that there must be opportunities out there without me having to buy in Wainui. The…[Read more]
