Hi,

Let’s bring this thread back to it’s basics.

Jo, you ask about 8% yields. I think that properties offering this sort of return are like red cars… once you start looking for them they are all over the place [smiling]

I think that’s way Kay Henry was trying to say… they are out there but it’s a matter of looking rather than being led to a particular area.

Having said that, Richmond has listed out some areas where such deals may be more commonplace than other but there will be houses there that offer all sorts of yields.

As for the issue re: moderators asking questions – what’s wrong with this? They’re here to lend a helping hand and don’t hold out to be investing experts.

Cheers,

Steve McKnight

I have just revoked Pisces membership after receiving an abusive personal message.

I agree that it is time for a change. If you come across abusive posts then let me know (send to [email protected]) and I’ll take swift action.

It doesn’t matter who it is, there is now a zero tolerance policy.

Regards,

Steve McKnight

Hi,

We live in a democracy where the government of the day sets social policy.

As a Christian I see the value of giving someone who needs help a ‘no strings attached’ handout.

As a taxpayer I sometimes get frustrated at the inequity of it where you here sensational stories of families having kids to live off welfare.

Whether it is right or wrong is a personal choice. If you don’t like it then there is no point arguing with someone holding an opposite view on the forums here.

Instead, contact your local MP and tell him/her how you feel.

Oh, and my final comment – I always thank my lucky starts that I’m in a position where I don’t need welfare to survive. I don’t for a second envy those who do rely on government handouts to make their lives easier, whether through choice or life circumstance.

Cheers,

Steve McKnight

Go easy folks… share your toys and play like friends in the sandpit.

Personally, I’ve never advocated buying in rural hamlets. I advocate investing in areas with expanding infrastructure.

Still, nowdays I have changed my approach again to something that is neither location nor price specific. Actually, outlining this approach is exactly where I’m up to in writing my 2nd book.
