Nevermind; maybe next time Sonja, (I agree, family is more important!!!)

I’m sure Anthony will be back in Sydney soon enough; although if he came to Melbourne, he’d make this little camper really happy!!!

Cheers, [biggrin]

Hi Greg,

If I may, what EXACTLY do you want a mentor to do for you, that you can’t do for yourself with respect to property investing???

I am assuming that is the sort of mentor you are seeking, a property mentor, is that correct???

Jo

Well said Steve, [thumbsupanim]

That is the kind of answer I would have expected from you in the first place!!!

MarkyMark,

I do agree with you in that Steve should not be giving away too much information, after all, it is in his financial best interest to keep some things within the confines of his seminars and books. [sealed] I am also in…[Read more]

Me stressing???? No way Way!!!! [biggrin]

I just think that the lesser informed forumities; the ones who rely on a straight answer, should expect to get one, especially from one they look up to. Is that wrong???

As for serious investor being too busy with forums, and constantly investing/searching for/doing deals; from my experience, NOT…[Read more]

The purchase price, regardless of what is on the block, be it vacant or with a dwelling on it.

You pay for what you get!!!

Sorry Steve, but THAT’S the best you can offer???[blink]

There are people in this forum who have (repeatedly) asked for answers because it appears your +CF strategy is weakened in the Oz market, and this is the best you can do to answer (without…[Read more]

This is definitely a “cat among the pidgeons/chickens (whatever, birdlife pleases you)” topic Calvin, and in line with past disourse, I guess it relies on how/what one’s fundamentals are and their application of same!!!

TD,

A word of caution, and I mean no disrespect to anyone’s opinion (each to his/her own) but high sales volume is NOT necessarily an indication of demand although it can be (ie. for affordability) however, it certainly DOES NOT NECESSARILY equate to VALUE; this can be said for areas where sales are minimal simply because people like the area and…[Read more]

Fair enough too!!!

Sounds to me like young Joseph hadn’t moved out of home in the first place!!! Liked mamma’s cooking too much to do his own, and the end result for his deception, his goose got well and truly cooked to boot!!! [lmao]

Lesson: Ignorance (and/or laziness) don’t cut the mustard with the law!!! [eh]

TD,

If I may offer some advice (for what it’s worth) as there will be those who disagree with me on this, and that’s fine.

NEVER FOLLOW THE HERD!!!![blink][blink][blink]

Do your homework, research the market, watch ALL figures/trends, sales/rental prices, CG trends, infrastructure plans etc etc, and then decide for yourself.

Hi Sonja,

Can’t really make an totally informed comment on this guy’s abilities as such, however a friend of mine played me some of his CD once (which I only heard about 5 minutes of) and he seems to be quite the “motivator” as many in this type of money-making industry do!!!

The little I did hear, was very positive and worth listening to. Not…[Read more]

That’s true Terry,

But my point isn’t that the likelihood of wraps isn’t possible; because if people are willing to pay, they will buy. It is more the concern, that properties under <200K are becoming scarcer and scarcer!!!

Jo

Hi Jomiki,

Not too many place available (to wrap or not) in Melbourne for under 200K and those that are, I hardly think you will be able to add your part to the price to make it a worthwhile exercise.

Best bet would be to check http://www.realestate.com.au (under Victoria) and using the “advanced search” section refine your search to properties…[Read more]

No not necessarily, could be quite the opposite!!!

If everyone is selling up (say for example in the same street) I’d be wondering what plans the local council had on the boil??!!!! [blink]

Jo

Hi John,

A carport can vary in cost for numerous reasons, different people, materials used, state!!!

I have bought IPs with, and without, car accom. in the past, and generally, if it was without and I decided to add it later (for value) a cheap exercise would normally cost approx. 4k (or thereabouts) just for a carport, unattached to the…[Read more]

Yep; I spent a couple of years studying at Southern Cross Uni in Lismore when my first marriage broke up, fantastic place, cute guys!!!!

Jo [tongue]

P.S. I know the latter isn’t really grounds for investment Sam, just couldn’t resist throwing that in for anyone who is from there!!! [biggrin]

Hi Westan,

Yes yes yes…..STAWELL (pronounced STALL) is the gateway to the Grampians (not the centre of the universe, although it may well be to those who live there!!!) and how could we forget….home to the greatest FOOTRACE!!!

For those who were unable to spell it, let alone know where it is, I have provided one of many links that may help…[Read more]

Riddle: How do you change a light globe?
Answer: You can’t, the light globe has got to want to change!!! [lmao]

Hi Way [biggrin]

A possessory right title basically means that when the owner of the land (say for example) passes on, the ownership is transfered into another’s “possession”. Hence, in this case it is assumed that whoever buys the land (2.5 acres, with that poor excuse for a house on it) automatically becomes the owner of the additional title.…[Read more]
