“Giving is a Blessing, receiving is the bonus”

Hi there,

Leigh, I wouldn’t mind living under the sea (in an octopus’s garden in the shade…) [:0)]
I have to agree, there are some really awful dog boxes out there, that they consider ‘modern living’ and smart housing. I love houses with old world charm, none of those square boxes with windows facing the next door’s bathroom will do. What…[Read more]

Hi there,

I was upset to learn that Leigh was troubled with the way some of the posts were going. []
I must admit, when I came home from my holiday, I was surprised by the posts made whilst I was away. To me, the posts (which of course are 2-D) where interesting in that the theme was more about ‘should we be investing in property’ rather than…[Read more]

Hi there,

‘Lemmings’ are animals, whilst we on the other hand are humans, which means we can make decisions and we have the capacity to learn and also to change things as we see fit. We are the decision makers, if people want to act as lemmings well who’s to blame?

2 cents worth

Hi all!

I like your responses!!! Stu, it’s true I guess it’s a bit deep for Friday arvo…but I like your answer. I guess, reading your answers make me breathe a little easier.
Becky, I think I agree, having witnessed the reluctance of someone close to me wanting to move out of his/her comfort zone.
I think it’s also important to know what type…[Read more]

Hi there Regina and Westan,

Nothing wrong with being a ‘property-aholic’ []
I’ve always loved property. I used to make my parents take me on a drive to Toorak, Malvern and Kew, Templestowe etc both during the day (and night..hehehe “I can’t sleep, let’s go for a drive!)just so I could see the big houses and the beautiful tree lined streets. My…[Read more]

Hi David,

Thank you for that link! It was very helpful.

Hiya!

I couldn’t agree with Del more! Finding that spare moment to read… perhaps whilst preparing a grill for me boys…ay Steve? [] []
I’m really looking foward to your book to be out on the shelves! I’ve told my friends about it, so I hope they wait until they buy the book before investing!

Hi Steve,

Whilst I know there are still plenty of opportunity out there, I am also aware of the ‘herd mentality’ and YES it concerns me a great deal. I guess people need to realise they are responsible for their own money and they need to make the right decisions for themselves.
I can’t say I’m not guilty of foolhardy investing, in the beginning…[Read more]

Hi Wayne,

That was a great idea! I will give them a call too. If no response, I’ll email them. Hopefully they will get back to you.

Hi there,

Firsty, I agree, Mini rocks!!! Her contributions to the forum are enjoyable and well worth reading. [8D] If the world was full of people like Mini, it would be a wonderful world to live in. [^]
I have to agree with Andrew (AD’s) especially his 2nd point. There’s a huge responsibility annexed to investing. If it’s your money, you only…[Read more]

Hi all,

Joff, when we were looking to move from Donvale (we sold first) to where we currently live, looking for those elusive houses, ex-rentals that looked like glorified bomb-shelters, we were DEPRESSED and nearly backed out of our sale in Donvale. We found an “ugly duckling” (Buxton Real Estate, advertising board) and we were lucky, it really…[Read more]

Hello there,

Ahhmmm, who’s paying for Cameron Bird’s advertising?
In fact, I just threw out another unopened letter from them.
They’re properties look like they are in lovely locations. Why are they still advertising them 12 months down the track?
I advise you to read through the letters they send carefully. Do they actually back up their…[Read more]

Hi there,

I read with interest all the posts here. []
I think it is advantageous that Bruce is going to do property investing in the city (Sydney, to be exact), as he misses one of the key/critical elements of property investing. ” It’s all about people ” (McKnight, Steve. https://www.propertyinvesting.com/strategies/wraps) []
With that type of…[Read more]

Hello there,

I’d like a sports car, but I may not be able to have it just yet. I still drive a car though. My 1990 Camry takes me from A to B without to0 much of a hiccup, so I’m content with that.
Your sister, may still be able to afford a house. A 250K mortage may be out of her price range, but there are still houses that are further out of…[Read more]

Hi there,

Are you comprehensively insured? Okay, I know it’s left field, but if you had an accident (and they do happen, like it happened to me 17/5/02) and you hadn’t paid out the loan, if your car was totalled and you were not insured, you wouldn’t have the money, to pay back the loan on the car.
So if you put the money into home loan, redrew…[Read more]

Hi there,

The Mecury Newspaper has it’s property section come out on Friday. You can get copies sent to you, if you call their customer service clerk on
03 62 300 553. It’s very informative.

Hope this helps some
