I recorded it… But still trying to find the time to watch it… Maybe this weekend.

“Making mistakes is just another another tool for learning.”

AusProp,

My use of the general terminology ‘just received’ was not meant to be taken literally.[blink]

Yes, my mailed API landed in my mail box about a week ago… I also reserve the right to use the general terminology of ‘about’ to mean ‘somewhere in the region of’. [biggrin]

But methinks that not having received my KPI since the October…[Read more]

Hi All,

This is long… But you really only need to read the first third or quarter of it…

Well though through and interesting.

Cheers, Nobleone. [guilty]

Beerwah in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, QLD.

Maybe some of the other Sunshine Coast forumites would like to catch up somewhere central?

PM me if you’re interested.

Off topic…. But I vote for a speel chequer two!

Hi The Mortgage Adviser,

Of course interest rates can go down as well as up… But I locked in now because I KNOW that at the locked in rate I can afford the repayments and still make a good profit each month.

Once 3 years has passed I will be in a much more secure financial position so it does not worry me where interest rates will be at that…[Read more]

Hi Salla,

I have 4 IP’s in NZ.

All purchased via an Oz trust, NZ financed.

I locked in at 3 years, lock in whatever you can because the future is going to be unpredictable.

As I have been informed, I pay NZ tax on my NZ income from rentals and any profits are transferred to Oz with tax paid status.

As I own 4 properties my PMs only charge…[Read more]

HI Alexlee,

I’m in the same boat as you… Buy and hold and let the property work for you.

Property prices up or down I don’t care because all mine are + CF, nothing less than 12.3% gross.

In 20 or 30 years time they are sure to be worth a heck of a lot more.

I’m currently sitting and watching the QLD market patiently coz within the next 18…[Read more]

OK Yack now that you’ve made the point about looking back in 12-months, here goes my basic plan for 2005.

Revalue 4 IP’s in NZ once all the reno and painting work has been finished around March.

Use the CG to buy at least one neutral CF NZ property with high CG potential or buy at least 2 more +CF NZ properties to increase my servicability and…[Read more]

Spanky you may have opened a can of worms here…

My biggest irritation right now is NZ contractors and PM’s that don’t get back to me in a timely manner, either by phone or by e-mail… Time is money especially if you loose a tenant because of some little problem that could have been sorted in less than a day if only contractors or PM’s had…[Read more]

FireCeasar,

I agree 100% with what Michael just said… Don’t rush into the current market without doing your homework… TWICE.

Cheers, Nobleone [xmas]

“Making mistakes is just another another tool for learning.”

Hi FireCeaser,

Nice forum name [biggrin] I assume it relates to the quote “Render unto Ceasar etc…”

I digress, I can appreciate where you’re coming from, was there myself 6-months ago and I remember thinking ‘Gee I really don’t have a lot of money to splash around on courses, property valuations’ etc.

But case in point, one of the best…[Read more]

Apart from my signature, I like what my dad used to say…

“You can’t put an old head on young shoulders.”

And this is not really a saying but…

We the willing, lead by the unknowing
are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
We have done so much, for so long, with so little
we are now qualified to anything with nothing.

Cheers, Nobleone…[Read more]

I’ve got nothing to add at this point… Just seeing if my new signature works!

“Making mistakes is just another another tool for learning.”

Michael,

I also see Yacks point… However he/we have to ‘get over it’ because there’s multitude of people out there all buying books and becoming instant property gurus and we can’t stop them all from making some mistakes.

As my father used to say…

“you can’t put a young head on new shoulders”

People buy cars everyday, some buy lemons some…[Read more]

Hi All,

Since my last post to this thread I have been thinking…

In a nutshell, for any ‘noobies’ following this thread and getting mixed messages as to whether or not to jump into the property market at this point in the property cycle…

…This forum is populated by investors who have different strategies, which will determine whether they…[Read more]

Hi All,

A great thread and a long read from start to finish… But worth it.

My hat off to Mini for such a wonderful ‘from the heart’ post… Go girl![specool]

Also to MichaelWhyte for dispelling the stereotype that newbies are ill-informed idiots fairly salivating and frothing at the mouths to dive in for a slice of the pie while it’s…[Read more]

Aaaaaah… Thank you Foston… pretty obvious address when I think about it… [withstupid]

cheers, Nobleone [blush2]

I agree with Richmond… I can find 11-seconders all over… But I would not want to invest in those towns for obvious reasons…

Sooshie… Still not sharing?
