    Howdy Mensch,

    My only contribution to this is that I don’t get into chest thumping about net worth… maybe it’s because it’s nowhere near what I eventually would like it to be… but it’s getting there!

    Cheers

    Hi Maggie,

    I’m not meaning to sound rude, but how do you know the rental return is good if you’re not sure of the definition of “yield”? The 11 second solution basically works out whether the property will give a 10.4% yield, ie cost 50k, rent 100k, annual rent = 5200k/puchase cost of 50000k = 10.4%…

    I wouldn’t be in a rush to invest until you’re sure on your knowledge base.

    Cheers

    Hi Des and Sue,

    Can you please tell me the exact reasons why you will be purchasing from the internet? It might help me give you some answers.

    Alf,

    Westan has been quite open about where he is moving his money to… it’s no big secret if anyone wants to go back through the threads they’ll find it in 5 minutes.

    Howdy Cremin,

    How many do you think will be left by the time you get home if you keep pumping it up as a good spot to get them?

    Hi Doogs,

    We often get good highlights off the stump cam for our news packages, ie if Brett Lee clean bowls someone and skittles the stumps…

    Ahhh Disco Stu,

    Thanks for the reminder… only one more weekend of pain to go, then it’s all optimism (maybe) for next year… At least they’ve got some motivation for this week v Hawthorn in regards to Captain Blood’s passing… I went to his funeral on Wednesday for work… the players didn’t even hang around for the wake/function back at the club… so that shows you how much they’re taking it all on board (not)

    oh well…

    Hi Marty,

    Don’t feel obliged to use a broker from Brisbane… (Disco) Stu Wemyss from http://www.prosolution.com.au can help you out even though he’s based in Melbourne. I have not used him, but he has been recommended to me by others, while the quality of his posts are a pretty good testament to his abilities. Alternatively, Melanie seems to be pretty switched on too, and she’s based in Brissie.

    Cheers

    Hi Shane,

    Welcome back after the other night…

    I think we’re essentially saying the same thing to regi_hand… go and learn…

    I agree that we should share ideas… that’s what a forum is after all.

    I wasn’t trying to be paternalistic… after one of my first posts here someone used a famous quote of give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a life time. I reckon that is spot on.

    cheers

    junior

    Check out the web links page on the left of the screen… there’s a few there… I have found one or two that aren’t there, but I’ll let you discover those in the course of your research…

    cheers mate

    Hi Junior,

    I’m all for being as positive as I can… but if you’re a Carlton supporter, well, what can I say… hehehe… good luck being positive about THAT… hehehe

    (that coming from a tigers supporter… at least we’re a little bit better off than you at the minute!!)

    hi taddey

    sorry to be a pain in the rear, but this has been discussed ad nauseum… have a play with the search function at the top of the screen… or better yet, order Steve’s book…

    Hi Arty,

    Our area is called Clonbinane… it’s not very well known at all, and we like it like that… there’s actually a 28 acre place up the road that’s going to auction at the start of October… the sign only went up yesterday… you should see the views… amazing…

    Anyway, do yourself a favour and come for a drive over our way… we’re on the eastern side of the Hume Hwy…

    Cheers

    Hi

    the hobbies of richmond….

    1. putting my cold hands on (soon to be) mrs richmond’s back first thing in the morning…
    2. spending time with my amazing kelpies… aka Ruby and Bailey the Wonderdogs
    3. photography
    4. weights at the gym (no I’m not a meathead)
    5. watching my beloved Tigers continually disappoint me year after year after year, after my stepdad declared in 1980 (after they won their last flag) that I was on a good thing barracking for the yellow and black… b*stard! fancy sucking in a poor little 6 year old like that!
    6. news and current affairs
    7. watching the front paddock of our 60 acre property take shape… and getting knackered from trying to do all the landscaping myself…

    that’s it for now…

    cheers

    Hi Arty,

    Just something you might want to consider… I’m currently about 55 minutes from my work in Richmond… the craigieburn bypass that is going in along the hume is expected to shave that to 45 mins… Kilmore’s quite a good town (I’m 15 mins from there up in the hills backing onto Mt Disappointment State Forest)… I would heartily recommend checking out this part of the world… believe me, my fiance and I spent a year looking into the various areas within 1 hr of Melbourne, and you definitely get more bang for your buck over our way (although Woodend is considered a bit trendier, sniff)…

    Cheers

    Hi Reg

    First tip, do some research, you can’t expect to come here and find easy answers. We all want to make money on properties, and there is no easy way, if there was, everyone would do it.

    Go and read some books… spend some time reading back through the threads… I’m sorry, but it’s not going to be handed to you on a platter.

    Good luck
