BUT it does have huge capital growth.

However +cashflow properties can be found over the hill in Rotorua.

Michael said:
Education is the foundation of where I am today.

I fully agree with there Michael.

As to how you get that education is up to the individual.

Whether you read many books and/or posts, attend seminars, interview or talk to others who are doing it, doesn’t matter. But educate yourself.

And as Brenda said
If you want to get…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Well now, NZ hasn’t won a running medal since John Walker did in 1976.

Also from about that time the Kenyans and other Africans started coming to the fore and now very few white skinned people win any sort of running race.

I wonder why? Probably too much McDonald’s and KFC and Burgerking eaten while still children tending to make the…[Read more]

Hi diclem

You said:
And Muppet, you really like the kiwi versus aussie thing, don’t you?

I wasn’t basically having an Aussie versus NZ thing in my post, but seeing as how it has come up
then what was the % increase in gold medals for Australia – 6.25%[blush2]
For NZ – 200% increase.[biggrin]

I also noted in another thread that NZ would win its…[Read more]

Hi Guys

Erin

Have a look at the http://www.propertytalk .co.nz site for up to date news about the NZ market and ask questions there.

Westan
I agree with you. Also it is a bit like trying to pick the Lotto numbers for Saturday as to what is going to happen in the next 12 months.
What with oil around US$48 per barrel.

I read in an aricle tonite…[Read more]

Hi Erin

Westan missed out a decimal point in his posting

The town has large unemployment 31% compared to the NZ average of 46%.

NZ unemployment rate should read 4.6% not 46%.
(Just Westan’s fat fingers[biggrin])

I agree with Westan about Murupara.
It is on the edge of the Urewera country.
There is a very high Maori population in the town.

Hi Aussie

To answer your question is easy:
either the the South Afriacans are going faster or the Aussies and the Yanks are going slower.
