Hi Leigh is right…

Bill it is likely that you have my e-mail address stored in one of your e-mail boxes, in a contact list or something similar.

Or alternatively, someone who has your e-mail address also has my e-mail address and the virus added the two together and tried to replicate itself via e-mail that way.

We are very anal in our office…[Read more]

Aw, come on…

Perhaps it’s also that, for those of us who believe in democracy, some have given up in putting their opinion. They’ve become disenfranchised, if you will.

I only clamp down when people can’t express an opinion in a civil way. Just as you have your say re people ‘helping’, the same is true of people being critical.

Let’s just…[Read more]

Hi,

Indeed – welcome back, although I share Del’s interest in knowing why you’ve jumped back in given the incidents of late last year.

Still, it doesn’t really matter. Let’s just get on with helping people with their investing with some useful and thought provoking discussion.

Bye,

Steve McKnight

Hi,

Looks like a reasonably new building… I’d try and find the reason for selling and be checking what’s happening the area before going too much further.

Check the yellow pages for a builder in the area… s/he is probably the person who built it!

I doubt that you could build it for that price, so someone is taking a hit…[Read more]

Hi,

The rule of thumb is higher debt, bigger risk.

Personally, with things as they are at the moment, I don’t think there’s too much risk of interest rates moving beyond 7.5% in the next few years.

I think the article assumes that investors keep gearing levels high (maybe on an I/O basis) – my advice is that if you have a plan for getting into…[Read more]

Hi,

It is the senselessness that is astonishing. Here’s a guy, at the peak of his professional life, who’s contribution to be life has been snuffed out.

Let’s hope that all those involved are comforted and can find peace.

Thoughts to the family and friends of those affected.

Hi,

When the new forums came online I split up the one generic Property Plus into smaller forums so people with a particular interest could post to a more relevant area.

All old posts remain in the archive area.

Cheers,

Why is it when I add my opinion it is seen as suggesting that someone else’s is invalid? []

I don’t want or desire Leigh to have the same opinion as me, I was just giving clarification to the issue at hand from my perspective.

Hi… sounds like a nasty situation.

So you keep the deposit, right? But before you go ahead and sue, make sure there is some bread in the cupboard.

Or perhaps this is a chance for you to lease-option or wrap the property and come to a win-win outcome?

Solve problems and you’ll make cashflow!

Cheers,

Shesh…

Talk about an interesting post. Note that I have moved it to opinionated as it is better suited there.

The idea behind the $25 is simply to stop the time wasters from e-mailing and doing nothing. I’d imagine that if you went on to buy then the fee would be rebated.

B&T asked that if I was doing it, what would I do and I replied…[Read more]

Hi,

Fair enough. Criticism accepted.

But… Leigh, I gave you a book close to Xmas… should I give everyone a free book in the sake of fairness, or should I show my appreciation and reward you for the help that you’ve offered me?

Perhaps the people concerned don’t post as much as some, perhaps they have helped out in other ways and this is…[Read more]

Finally… I’ve found a half decent photo and now it’s in my profile.

Bye,

Hi Leigh,

Aren’t you married [8]?

Nah, unless I felt really compelled I’d have shaken my head but not said anything.

Hi,

Both Ch 9 and Ch 7 have done pro wrapping stories before, it’s just that the flavour of the month is now it’s ripping people off.

I invited Ch 9 to go back and interview the 3 people they spoke to a couple of years ago to see how it has worked for them, but they weren’t particularly interested in that side to the story.

I was not able to go…[Read more]

Hi,

The link to the report you’re looking for is: https://www.propertyinvesting.com/accountability.html

Don’t know David’s details… perhaps do a member search using the Members option in the LH menu (you’ll need to be signed in).

Hi,

The discussion seems to be here that wrapping is about selling over priced houses to people who can’t afford it!

From my experience, this is rarely the case and is counter productive for both the investor (who wants cashflow… what good is a vacant house) and also the purchaser.

The key to a successful deal is to pre-qualify the applicant…[Read more]

Hi There!

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.

I recently attended yr Sydney seminar fr 0 to 130 properties. I went to learn how to work out positive cash flow properties but being slow in the uptake I am still very confused.

OK – how can I help?

During the seminar we were supposed to check the newspapers for such properties but…[Read more]

Hi,

Not long ago we went to realestate.com.au with an idea to have some basic financial data collected and then formated in a generic PI.com report.

It’s a work in progress but there is plenty more to do to see it come to fruition.

Personaly, I’d like to see more of the ownership costs outlined to help with the number crunching, plus also info…[Read more]

Hi mb,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.

I’ve moved your post as this forum is reserved for questions about the book, not leading on from the book.

Anyway, while I’m here I’ll answer your questions:

Hi,

Just a heads up… to be eligible for the free land you usually have to live in the area for a period of time.
