Hi all
a question for Jenny Lamberton in Tokoroa
would you buy in Tok at these prices?
All the smart money that was buying in Tok in 2003 has been selling. At the prices being achieved there are better markets in NZ.

Hi daaussie
just to help put in it perspective, the properties in Oz that i sold would have risen by about 0-5% in value since i’ve sold (plus sales have really slowed so i might not even be able to get rid of them now). Where as the NZ properties have probably risen on average about 60% since i purchased them, plus the rental returns on the…[Read more]

Hi FireCaesar
Lets look at issue number 2 CashFlow.
As far as investing for cash flow NZ walks all over Oz, even after the huge price growth the country has had. I often mention that i’m selling in NZ but i would still consider buying if the right deal came along. I wouldn’t even consider buying an investment property in Oz at the…[Read more]westan replied to the topic Tokoroa in the forum No Subject 19 years, 8 months ago

Thats exactly right Michael.
at the end of the day what dictates the price we pay for property or shares or whatever is supply and demand. There’s no “rocket science” in that.

Hey Nobleone
i was talking from someone in Hawera who had issues with this sort of stuff, they actually got some guys from the Mungrel Mob to sort it out. apparently the police knew and they said as long as there’s no bruises they were happy to look the other way.
A different approach !
The owner got vacant possession very quickly.

Isn’t it interesting how things change, back in the late 1990’s we were saying Melbourne was not the place to be as everyone was moving interstate. i remember the jokes about the number place “Victoia on the Move”, and people would say yer to Queensland.
Melbourne’s a great city obviously others agree.
