Hi there,
Edgewise, I’ve seen this happen too and heard it on the phone. The RE agent had changed his rod for a net due to the sheer numbers of calls. His web site was 2 weeks out of date because he didn’t have time to update it, due to the frenzy.
I think AD mentioned the key as did Mini in other posts. Do the numbers and use your head not your heart.
Nessie, don’t you just love it when you find free reading on public transport. (By the way, we have to catch up)

Hi Muppet,
I’m sure Steve would be happy to post you a copy. However it might be easier to ask a local and large book store if they can order it for you, as they are being released in NZ.
Cheers

Hi Rick,
To be fair, they could be legit, but I’d do some homework on them first. Maybe you could ask for a list of customers they’ve helped and you could call or email them your questions.
Do a web search on them…
I’m just really cautious…Cheers

Hi Ricky,
IPA offered a service
All at no cost to the purchaser ?So in actual fact this mean that all these services are FREE to the purchaser??? I don’t think so.
So how do they make their money [?]
Inflated prices and commissions. Nifty little way of absorbing the costs up front, but hitting you with the hammer from behind.
Can I direct your query to another post which may have some info for you? It may not be specifically dealing with IPA, but with similar sort of companies.I will provide the links, so you can just transport yourself there without too much searching…(there are a lot of posts here [
])https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=772
This next one has a lot of chit-chat in it [
] but I think it might be of some worth if you can sift through it.https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=224
There are more posts regarding this topic.
If you have more questions I’m sure we’ll all be happy to help out.
Cheers

Hi there,
Nessie’s right about the plans for that area and it’s true the area has a slightly better reputation than neighbouring (vincinity of) Noble Park, Dandenong. Clayton which is close by is seeing it’s boom now. Just know your prices and do your homework before you jump in.
However, as I live less than 5 minutes from that very corner, it would be nice if they didn’t overdevolope that area. I love driving past the market gardens and sometimes stopping for fresh produce, eggs etc.
Mirvac made HUGE bucks down there (and will continue to do so). It’s very close to Southland, business parks, Moorabbin Airport…
Dingley/Dingley Village is also close by as is Springvale shopping area…Cheers

Hi there,
David U, could you please explain a bit more about the CGT component, as I thought as an Aussie investor you consider the property like an overseas investment and that you are still responsible to pay CGT on Aussie terms…
I think I need some clarification here…Thanks

Hi there,
I believe (my guess) after searching the Today Tonight (TT) web site, that a certain person probably threatened legal action OR that in light of allegations made of this certain person, TT have deliberately omitted the transcript of the show until it finds out its legal standing.
What do you think?
Another link, on a more positive note…

Try your luck!Cheers

Hi there,
Nessie, as you mentioned, emotional buyers are who you want when you’re selling your property, not who you want bidding against you when you want to get a below or market value property.
Media hype…sometimes it works to the sellers advantage though. Whether it be property, seminars, books, cd’s etc… Leverage…
I’m always curious to know, what is their stake in the outcome for creating the hype? What’s your thoughts?
Eddie Maquire??? he’s a cutie.
Welcome LGB to PI forum. Congrats on your first post!Cheers

Hi there,
Your responses were awesome! Dave70, I guess the media has played a large part in directing the attention of the masses. I watched (I think it’s called) Hot Property, a program that shows the highs and lows of buying and selling, renovating and renting out properties. I may have watched snippets of a few episodes and one thing that was apparent during almost evey auction, was that people set their money ‘limit’ but in the heat of the auction they upped their limit or were easily coerced into raising their limit and offering more money.
Sometimes the house wasn’t ‘ON THE MARKET’ and people were bidding like crazy !!! The real estate agents were having a ball!
What about other programs that show renovations and DIY for the average person, doing the reno with less money? They advertise a product they use and suddenly the product you buy every week, has risen by $3, or its ‘out of stock’. Okay, it could be a coincidence []
I also think this gives the average property buyer a false sense of what’s real. I mean, 1 weekend to renovate an entire house, backyard or whatever! Beautifully edited with music, sound effects, little trick saving tips, do you get to see the stuff ups?
I mention this because (as usual from left field)
when people buy a property nowadays, maybe their expectations are higher. They want the mod cons, sleek stainless steel flashbacks, mosiac tiles in the bathroom with spa bath with 12 jets etc etc etc… I believe the expectation for the ‘new’ property buyer is to buy a house that has all the trimmings for a cheaper price… I don’t think the article mentioned the effect media has on the expectations of new buyers. [?][?][?]
On the beat up of HK on t.v tonight, one of the lady presenters, said that the ‘Boom is over and houses are on the slide’. How many people are going to dump their stock as quickly as possible? How many people are looking to find those properties that those people sold for less than market value? What is that common saying ‘someones trash is another man’s treasure’
I think one of the most important things I heard today was ‘life is a balance between needs and risks’.
The FHOG was in the first stages when I purchased my PPOR and I didn’t qualify for the FHOG because it was means tested.
I missed the tech boom and bust.
I guess it just comes down to goals and stratergies.Cheers

Hi GG,
Ditto on Leigh K’s method. It can get even more involved than that, with multiple accounts stemming from the same initial account [
]. Leigh’s method is what we have set up.
Depending on what interest rate (IR) you can get for new IP loan, sometimes the existing interest rate on the LOC (attatched to your PPOR/or split loan) is lower than your IR on new IP!Must be late [

Hi Chan$,
What were the logistics in doing that? Did you have this in mind when you first bought/moved into your PPOR?
Cheers

Hi there forumites [
]Addiction??? [8D]
From where I sit, I think that this forum is a very positive place to share your ideas, thoughts and experiences regarding property investment (and sometimes non-related chit chat [:0)]).
I think what makes it ‘addictive’ is the nice people that you meet and/or chat/post to on this forum.
It’s a friendly community with sound advice and plenty of interesting reading.Okay, I’m sorta addicted. But I won’t sell my kids yet! [:0)]

Hi vluu27,
Interesting read! I guess there will be more pounding on HK tonight at 6:30pm. I guess it’s a good lesson for us all.
