If the market is retracting a little in New Zealand, thats great news it will mean more opportunity for investors. It is a little harder to buy well but even in cities like Christchurch you can still buy at 8-9% and of does Don can talk about Invercargill.

A slowing in the economy should create more buying opportunities. People will always need a…[Read more]

I could not agree with you more. Clearly with a population of 293 million there are more opportunities than there are in Australia. Particully through forclosures. However you also have to know what you are doing. A professional investor should be able toinvest anywhere. To do so means that you have to do the research.

Clearly not everyone is as smart as you.

If you are looking at a straight investment that is the case. Not everyone that invests is a wheeler and dealer. I once worked for a commercial property developer and was responsible for putting a number of large deals together and I do deal in commercial today. Many investors are looking for a straight…[Read more]

Hi Don

Sounds Interesting

I think it depends on where and what. Cheap commercial deals are only as good as the tennant.

Certainly worth a review.

When properties are forclosed in Australia theyt are given to Real Estate agents to market. In many cases you would not know that the property was a forced sale. In terms of siezed property, what happens here is after a Supreme Court ruling is made a property is siezed by the Sherifs department and put up for Auction. The Auctions are normally…[Read more]

Keep an open mind. It is important to have a balance of cashflow and capital growth. There is no one right awnser in investing the market changes all the time. If you are going to be a long term investor look overseas as well as Australia

It is difficuilt to buy properties in Australia that have both cashflow and capital growth. Many properties in regional areas in Australia are overpriced. There are certainly opportunities outside Australia with New Zealand and the United States being just two countries. There may well be some great opportunities in China as well. However with all…[Read more]

Thank you for that brilliant but ignorent response foundation. I am not saying that this is the awnser, however I have also come across people who have done it themselves and have lost a lot more than $1000 per day. Think of all te people who have lost money on Westpoint Mezzanine scheme. If they had been a little better educated they may have not…[Read more]

I agree to a point however if you buy in a city like Christchurch and you recieve a good return with long term capital growth I still feel tis is worth while. There are many people whoo wish to invest but cannot afford to be out of pocket. That is very hard to do in Australia unless you want to purchase in a one horse country town. That is a far…[Read more]

The only problem with most courses is that they are designed to make more money from you. The…[Read more]

I could not agree with Michael more. It amazes me that people buy when the market is booming and yet when the market levels or drops every one stops buying. If there is another boom by the end of the decade even if it is not as big as the one we have just had, it makes since to buy now and you will reap the benefits when the next boom happens. The…[Read more]

Children are truely gods gift to the world. With two darling children under the age of 6 they never cease to amaze me and fill me with joy and wonder, two lttle people growing up in front of me. I now really believe that people who do not have kids are really missing out. Money does not even come close.

You really need to look overseas to obtain good positive cashflow deals. The closest country would be New Zealand where you can still obtain good cashflow in the main and some secondry cities. I have also been doing a great deal of work in the United States, however banks will only lend around 70% and property taxes tend to be high. However there…[Read more]
