For my 2 cents worth I got my grounding working for a commercial developer in the late 1980s. The only good thing that happened in 1990 was I got married. The rest of the year was all bad. I saw a lot of people who had invested in small factories and offices go broke as the recession cut in. As a rule of thumb a commercial investment value is…[Read more]

Hi Pups

I would stick to main cities. The market is still moving quite well and with a slowing of prices we should start to see rental figures start to increase. I think that many country areas are at worst over priced and at best the growth prospects are limited. Also there are only so many investorsd in country towns.

Also keep in mind that…[Read more]

Also remember taht when Steve wrote the book we were in a different part of the property cycle. To be successful in investing means that you have to be open minded and to research other markets.

You cannot afford to take a black and white approach to investing. It is a matter of looking at where the market isd moving and invest there. If you invest in ther wrong area it is a bit like putting the money in the back and thebank charges you

I would certainly set up a line of credit rather than sell the asset. However why country NSW. The market has been overheated in the cities but many regional areas have also gone up a lot in many cases well past there real value. I would stick to main cities or if you need a better return look off sure to places such as New Zealand where you can…[Read more]

With the property cycle now at its peak areas such as this may be higher than they are worth. Unless you can achieve huge returns, why bother. You are better off sticking to main cities where you ill still get capital growth. If you want cashflow you are better off purchasing in New Zealand where you may achieve a balance of cashflow and capital…[Read more]

I am a property researcher and have also been assisting clients with property in New Zealand. I still think Christchurch is a great place to purchase. I only buy properties once I have inspected them,. I also have a number of people on the ground such as property managers, ac<edited>ants building inspectors I use to double check my own thoughts.…[Read more]

Texas is a great place to invest. I and a few of my colleges I spent quite a lot of time there. It is important to keep in mind that if you are buying houses the banks will only lend 70% which means you will either need cash or you will be funding it through a line of credit. Property taxes are also high. Do you sums carefully before…[Read more]

If your property is insured for less than the insurance companies requirements it means your are under insured and if you need to make a claim you may find that the insurance…[Read more]

Investing in the USA is a very complex matter you need to review the amount you can borrow in some cases nothing in the best cases around 70% and you will also need to look at how high property taxes are. This will vary from state to state.

You will find with servicesd apartments that in many cases you will only get finance for 60-70%. Also it is unlikely that there will be any capital growth.

The real problem in Australia is that while the politicians look to give us a $10 per week tax cut the real issue is that as the population ages and many of those people will not have enough money to retire on there will be less money being spent within the economy. While the economy is awash with funds from GST revenue we should be doing two…[Read more]

Plans get bigger they just cram in more seats. In 5 years Quantas have reduced legroom from 34 inches to 31 inches. I wonder if the 380 will maintain current legroom and comfort or will they try and look after people a little better

Frankly Western you do not know what I own or do not own. I can tell you that once we have all the facts we will recommend where to purchase. Not get our clients to buy there first. I am a researcher. The course I offer trains people to do the research and I am sure you know wherever you purchase the principles are the same. I have the view that…[Read more]
