Hi Adrian,

How are things up there now, 1 year on from the floods?

Are vacancy rates still tight?

I notice prices haven’t moved, how is the market sentiment?

Cheers

Thanks Terry.

Now this is not something that I do, and I don't condone concealing assets from anyone, but…

I think a great strategy is to hedge highly leveraged real estate investments with physical precious metals, like a moat of liquidity around your empire, completely outside of the financial system.

Merry Xmas guys and gals

Would you also like me to tell you my full name, residential address and where my valuables are stored?

And if you look closely you will discover that these inflation figures of 2.5-4% are BS.

Do you really believe the Fed will taper its QE?

I am under the belief that once Yellen takes the helm, the bond buying will be increased not tapered off.

Any thoughts or charts on Purchasing Power Parity? Totally new to me.

Freckle if you're not already a part of silverstackers, you should be.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
You say you live in West End, it's a nice area and has a history of solid growth, so just relax.

As for investing, I think the above advice is very sound.

I'm a fan of the cashflow pathway too Richard, I think holding leveraged real estate that produces consistent income inside the smsf is a powerful strategy, especially for young pups like myself, I could still extinguish a 30 year mortgage before reaching retirement age. I do however plan to retire long before they grant me access to my super, so…[Read more]

Thanks Freckle, great post.

As a young investor, my property portfolio is VERY highly leveraged. My risk management strategy is six feet under. In a best case scenario of hyperinflation, the banksters will erode the property debt and I won't be holding devalued fiat currency.

This is something I am fully aware of and have been quietly preparing for of late.
Once or twice I raised my concerns on this forum and the property investing community wouldn’t have a bar of it (I was actually awaiting your thoughts Freckle, I know you know).

To see this thread active here tells me that we may be closer to this historic event…[Read more]

50% highly leveraged bread and butter real estate, 50%  precious metals heavily weighted in silver.

And yes, 10 years down the track you would need to sell it for a lot more just to have the same amount of purchasing power that you had when you bought it, due to inflation of the currency supply (theft).

I have come to realise that VERY few people in the world truly understand how the global monetary system…[Read more]

I was also disgusted when I was at the newsagent last and saw the YIP mag with the front cover titled "Brace for the Boom", when I am in fact 99% certain that we are sailing into a global economic storm of unprecedented proportions.
It is a matter of when, not if, this debt-based house of cards that we call the global monetary system comes…[Read more]

I also stopped buying these magazines.
All the figures in the feel good stories are manipulated.
After a while, instead of feeling motivated, I felt deceived. Haha
