    As for Queenstown… Well I guess it’s a good buy if moon craters are your thing and I hardly see any massive increase in prices there (well at least untill they can afford a tin of paint on the outside (and perhaps use the same colours on the inside!).

    The cash flow positive stuff has been well and truly prostituted, and guys like us are as thick as thieves with any info of the likely whereabouts of anything that even slightly resembles CF+.

    Times change and it worked great for Steve and many other forsighted people, now its time to leave the sheep and develope your own strategie.

    Smell the roses not the droppings…….

    Plenty of +CF stuff around in good communities around NSW VIC. Maybe I should be a spotter?[blink]

    Dear Sonja and other askers………..please dont ask, just read the my post!

    That’s harsh, I will give you a tip……….almost directly east of Albury about 110klm…not a bad little town either…

    No more than an hours drive from cities, like the one I am referring to is about 100k’s from Albury/Wadonga for instance.

    Certainly no Big Mac’s but the locals are the ones keen to talk about rents etc, they love a nag.

    I have found stacks of these little winners but have not purchased any because I want to be a property investor not property manager.[blink]

    If you want money that you can actually see with your own eyes then I suggest a part time job to get you by.

    MLM takes many years of persistance to get a meager return….

    Not intending to bash you Ausprop, but I just dont think the USA is the kind of Country you would really want to aspire to.

    I like Australia the way it is, not the way it’s going…….

    well proof is always in the pudding… coke, mcdonalds, kfc, subway, colgate, palmolive, ford, gmh, dell, microsoft, the internet… i dont see any of these being unpatronised or going broke. Everyone is happy to accept the benefits from the US (including saving our butts back in the 40’s, but hey what’s loyalty?). Blowing up kids, i assume this is some reference to Iraq but this is the wrong forum and i dont want to get into a debate that bashes the US just because its the trendy thing to do. the way people go on you would think we had all sold our cars and joined greenpeace.

    Saving our butts??
    The Jap’s took care of saving our butts when they bombed Pearl Harbour, if not I am sure we would be speaking Japanese at Fairfeild Mc Donalds, as the Yanks would have still been watching us die!

    I spoke of Americanization more than 20 years ago, not just because of Iraq.

    Yeah, your right about proof is in the pudding……….coke, winchester, 44 magnum and still no level trade agreement with our US mates, what a wank……..

    If that’s proof then call me a yank[jerry]

    Its good to see there is a majority of agreeance on this issue. I remember bringing this topic up a month or two ago and was sliced and diced! IE: Kay

    I think you should keep an eye on the orbital motorway link as well as the eastern creek region, lots of factories going in as well as Wally World..opps…I mean Wonderland going under the industrial hammer all sitting right on the link up. Watch the west lad’s. But wait til 2006 when its cheaper!

    this bashing of consumerism is all a bit ho-hum. The worlds biggest consumer economy, the US, is always sledged as being some greedy giant, yet it is the standard to which all nations aspire. We all want designer labels, flash cars, nice houses. If you want to be a hippy and carve wood branches in the bush go for it… the main stream will continue on and evolve the human species with it. Greed drives the search for cures to disease, increase food production etc. It is not perfect, but beats the medieval ages hands down. We need to accept this framework and work within it to achieve the best result individually. This extends to not blaming everyone but yourself if you wish to run up a $5000 mobile phone bill, lease a new car, go on a holiday or whatever.

    All nations aspire to? The US makes me sick, and why would a country like Australia aspire to a country that has a pathetic medical system and likes blowing children up to make it cheaper for their Hummers to get to K Mart and back? Oh, I see, maybe they need more guns?

    I owe I owe I owe so of to work I go…………..slave mentality. Its easy to get baitedI gather.

    Out of all my mates i am the only one who doesn’t have a credit car, own and drive a new small car, own my home outright and dont owe no bastard nuttin.

    But they nearly got me, at one stage I was that far above my head I couldn’t tell hot from cold, so I went without for 5 years and look at the result! Freedom! Borrowing a shit load for a 50 square house you dont need can only give you that warm fuzzy glow inside for only so long, and one thing that is very hard to do is bullshit yourself about all of this borrowing caper, new cars, 50k weddings etc.

    We all end up as fertalizer in the end so what does it matter?

    Where are the areas of +ve cashflow in Vic? $100k-$150k……..puzzled [hair2]

    Try Pluto Saturn and Mars cause aint no one gunna tell you squat on this site!

    Actually there is one dude that’s being ever so nice and sharing his good fortune with us concerning +ve stuff albeit the UK lol[blink]

    Like Mulder and Scully say “they are out there” )))there((( )))there((( )))there(((

    Parden the pun, +ce properties are the same as walking onto a five acre block covered in river stones. One of those stones has a gold nugget underneath it guaranteed, so start turning and you will find the nugget.

    Or just wait for the crash of 2006 and pick up plenty[blush2]

    This certainly does put things into a different light.

    Good stuff mate, so this means the guy in question was doing the O/T a bit to get his 8.5k?

    So today its safe to say for me to be in the same situation and get the same home in Mt Druitt NSW which is now 300k my average factory fodder wage would be around 250k per year! Gee, 5k a week aint bad![blink]

    when i was living in asia about 3 years ago there was a phenominon going around asia where mc donalds were selling these little toy figures (i forget the name). now hk, japan and singapore are hotbeds of consumerism. fathers and mothers were queing overnight outside mc donalds stores just so that they can get one of these toys for there kids. when they asked them why they were doing it – the reply was inevitable ‘because i love my child and they want it!’.

    this is the kind of herd mentality, keeping up with the jones’s that we ‘adults’ are a party too. atleast the kids have an excuse!!!

    I dont have kids so i guess it makes it a bit hard for me to understand why they buy what they buy. We were so poor when i grew up that the only toy I had to play with on xmas day was between me boxers lol!

    I think you have to get a good mindset and really focus on what’s really important such as your health.

    look at Brad Pitt and Mel Gibson, icons of consumerism, got it all etc and they both smoke!

    Keeping up with the Jones people is for the wankers, been there done that.

    Example, my house is in desperate need of a reno, not a tip or cess pool but needs painting, new kitchen carpet etc to pull out of a 70’s time warp. I am a builder by trade and the good lady keeps on me about the look of the place and what the neighbours are upto etc.

    I have been here for 10 years and in that time my next door has updated his kitchen twice, changed his floor coverings and bathrooms and landscape as well.

    At what cost? What was my cost?

    How much more will his house be worth on the market compared to mine?

    If it really makes you happy to show off, then rack it up dudes. Its all to impress at the end of the day, just like a male Bower Bird……[withstupid]
