    If, as Monopoly points out, you’re improving your cash flow by 300 per month, I’d pay it off the PPOR LOC, and keep looking around… that way you’re in a position to pounce on a great deal if one bobs up..

    15 suburbs in the whole of Australia is hardly “plenty”, 1HotValuer… go have a look at the back part of the White Pages that has all the post codes… 15 suburbs out of all those is barely any, and the areas where they might be allegedly “plentiful” are often very questionable.

    There are plenty of people whom I respect that have been in the “game” for a long time that agree with me. You say they’re plentiful, I say they’re not… however they can be found, and sometimes in good areas, but they are hardly in large numbers.

    I’ll leave it there

    cheers

    As anyone who is a regular on this site knows, yes, there are plenty of 10%+ yields in NZ… my comments pertained to the Australian market. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

    1HotValuer,

    It’s garbage to suggest there are plenty of 10% yields around at the moment, because the fact is there ain’t. 12-18 months ago there was, it is not the case now. That’s not to say there’s none, because that is also incorrect…

    cheers

    Are you sure about that 1hotvaluer? it was good for CF a little while ago, but I wouldn’t be betting on big CG.

    Richmond , I take it u dont think that people in the media have investments in Real Estate?

    I think the media does try to influence politics, and the market in many ways and moslty for their own gain.

    Im not talking about the average journalist here im thinking much higher then that.

    Regards Bear

    yawn, I’m not getting involved in another of these debates… you know what my response will be…

    Yack,

    I like debate, but some of your posts are super-negative at the moment…

    Not so ezy, since an advertised deal will be deleted as soon as it appears.

    Hi yack,

    I suppose it depends on where you buy, I bought several in Rockhampton a year ago, and they’ve all appreciated quite nicely… I still think the central coast of Qld is a good place to look at, places like Gladstone, Mackay, Townsville offer good opportunities…

    Cheers

    Yack, you wrote:

    Why?

    Hello all,

    I’ve been dropping in every day but I haven’t seen much I’ve felt the urge to reply to. I think this website will be around for a while yet, and the fair dinkum investors will stick with things. The “fly-by-nighters” might drop by the wayside though…

    Cheers

    Now, can you tell me how you found it in a few seconds.

    you want a coke and fries with that? or just a map and a compass? [rolleyesanim]

    Seriously though, just spend a bit more time searching for different types of properties in different price ranges in different states… sounds obvious, but it is that simple.

    Not all CF+ properties are in the sub 100k range…

    Cheers

    What’s the point having it if you don’t enjoy it? I’ve done a few o/s trips… yes they cost money, but what an experience! I don’t think people should deprive themselves of everything… it’s pretty important to enjoy the fruits of your labour from time to time…

    I agree with Pisces, Kay and Celivia… this is a parent talking about a child… it’s not a matter of black and white figures, and lucifer, believe it or not, some things are more important than the bottom line. I’m not sure why a parent trying to help out their kid is something that would make their blood boil [blink], but then again, you’ve mentioned rubbing your hands together waiting for “blood on the streets” to occur, so it’s pretty clear what angle you’re coming from. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that your outlook is very different to mine, and the course I would consider if I had a daughter in a similar situation.

    cheers
