Just a stab in the dark [baaa]

Hi Richmond,
Plentiful no but many yes, although i got to admit i havent even looked into vic regional , sounds like they have gained to much appreciation for pos cf investers. I have only looked and researched WA regional such as Collie, Wagin, Esperance and Geraldton which has a good population. All these towns (Geraldton is a city)you can…[Read more]

You assume wrong richmond I am talking Australia and yes ive been able to find “many” cashflow properties in country towns.How ever you are right saying some of these are questionable for investing, actually some are very questionable but I have based my stradigie (theres that spell checker again ) on cash flow . So for me personally my main…[Read more]

I think country areas is the ideal opputunities for new investers to feel the waters without getting to burnt. Not only are there many positive cashflow properties available its a good training ground to learn how to complete all the areas involved with investing in real estate. The only downside that i have found with regional areas is the…[Read more]

While we are on the subject of thieves, i heard that thieves stole a womens handbag at the big day out show and when she got home they had robbed her house using the keys that were in her bag. So just beware that it may not stop with just your purse and cash . The law really has got to get harder on these @##$@## people.

Sell the lot except one, buy a dream house with no morgage then use the equity in the second inv house to buy lots of positive income producing investment properties to pay for your dream boat [^]

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken !

My thoughts on it is As long as the person attending the seminar takes something home from the seminar enabling them to make money from that knowledge , makes its a win win deal for the person attending and the person giving the seminar.
