From what I have read about NRAS, it sounds a lot like negative gearing repackaged, re-marketed to another generation of property investors.

Both are sold on the premise of tax benefits to hide the fact that the properties are overpriced.

I think ill pass on NRAS.

I would ask for…

1. US property investing experience

2.Charlie Sheen as a contact (to hangout with lol when I am not working)

3. Where I can find the best ROI with the least amount of risk.

Hi Guys,

A big thanks to Nigel and Richard for the informative Property Know how meeting the other night, I look forward to future
meetings.

Sorry Jamie, I didn't realise you beat me to it lol ill have to be quicker next time..

I would generally recommend on-site but, thats assuming the property presents well is it empty / tenanted?

I stumbled upon this old post, what are your thoughts now?

I am still optimistic about the short and medium term future of property investing, as long as unemployment and interest rates remain low.

They have long vacancies at the end of year and early into the new year as a lot of students head home for the…[Read more]

Hi Pru,

There was a lot of hype around retirement homes as investments in years gone by. 
They were spruiked as the next big thing because of Australia's aging population but, it failed to materialise.
Sales agents will talk up the gross yield but generally the management fees for these type of properties are the biggest killer.

I lump…[Read more]

Hey Richard I saw you in API good article.

Hi guys,

I caught up with Engelo 2 weeks ago for coffee and a chat when he was back in Sydney. He is doing great over there.

Yes its possible to achieve, it easier now than it was when interest rates were 8%+ (early 2008 I think).
My dad gave me a copy of Steve first book in 2006 I have been property investing(and loving it) ever since

Hi Mattsta, I believe Sydney and parts of NSW are good value for money, interest rates are still historically low and tipped to go lower.I think a lot of people are sitting on the fence taking a wait and see approach, the turning point will be the next federal election late next year. After this event I think consumer confidence will return to…[Read more]

Everyone wants capital growth but, its the cash-flow hand in hand with capital growth that allows you to keep projecting into other IPs. You can have all the equity in the world if you don't have serviceability to get the next loan its not much good (unless you are going to sell to realise the gain). a real life example: my wife an I a few ye…[Read more]
