Hi guys

kiwifella , how come i’m back on track, i haven’t changed what i’ve been saying for the past 8 month (have i ?)

Regarding the prices drop, down forget that prices have risen in country town largely to investor sentiment, supply and demand. What happens to the price when the investor pull their heads in ? Which will happen (is…[Read more]

Hi Kiwifella

it appears the point your missing in this report and the effect if it comes true is that the market will drop; Now is not the time to be buying !

As i’ve been saying for months why buy at the top of the cycle when you can come back in a year or two (or more) and buy the same house for cheaper. Personally i think the investor who…[Read more]

Hi all

good to see price rises in Sothland.

Regarding the first stories posted by Don

Lets read what they are really saying, I didn’t see to much to get excited about in those stories, It looks like NZ will still under perform the rest of the world.

0zi maybe you should read those stories again, when you make comments like Sounds like some…[Read more]

Hi T

i suggest you read as much about investing as possible. Work out what strategy you feel is something that will work for you. For instance some people love creating wealth by renovating properties, others don’t.

Remember with the FHOG you need to live in the home.

what your asking is not possible to be answered in a forum, surround yourself…[Read more]

Hi Thomas

sorry if i came across critical, i’m not intending to be. I was just giving you some info in case you didn’t know that. As far as being critical quite the contrary I’m in fact a real fan of San Antonio, and i believe you will do well by investing there.

Like your self i also own in San Antonio, my private clients know we have been…[Read more]

Hey thomas

just be aware of one potential hick up with your startegy . When you go to do a “cash out” refinance the best you will get is 60 or 65% of the appraised value (can’t remember of the top of my head which it is, its midnight).

so a 85K valuation ot 65% cash out means a loan of 55,000 so you will still have 15 k in the deal. (on the 70k…[Read more]

Hi justallen

when i moved to NZ in late 2003 i took my 2001 falcon there as Australian imported cars are a lot more expensive in NZ than here in Oz. At that time my car was worth about $16000 in Oz yet worth $26,000 in NZ. You might be better taking your car there and selling it !

If you decide to take a car to NZ let me know and i’ll pass on…[Read more]

Hi Luke

yes i caught up with Lisa and was impressed with Nashville. Lisa has some good opportunities in front of her , i am doing a deal with her now (my own deal), will let you know how it goes. At this stage i want to work Nashville as a flip, But i think things work equally well as a buy and hold.

Have you meet Lisa ?

I arrived in Nashville in April the day a huge strom went through cousing Tornado’s (sorry thats another story) anyway i like Nashville it has tremendous opportunity (but i…[Read more]

Hi Don

i’m still waiting to see what i’ve said that is wrong ? either out of date or wrong ?

When you make comments like that it implies i don’t know what i’m talking about. i stand by what i’ve said. Would you like me to post what the governor of the NZ Reserved Bank says about things or perhaps what the NZ treasurer says about the state of…[Read more]

Hi Will

what your after is a “Apostille Seal” i think you can get them through the Dept of Trade & Foreign Affairs. If your in Sydney and they are only available between 9am and 1pm, i believe.

Definition – Apostille is a French word which means a certification. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalisation of a document for…[Read more]

Hi Gamay

in most situations i would say you are right. Phone another real estae agent and ask them what price are homes selling for in comparision to the ratable valuation. Also find out when the valuations were done.

HI Gamay

About 9 years ago the CBA was happy to use the Council valuation. Haven’t used them for a long time so don’t know if that is the case.
Brahms councils usually have two figures Unimproved value (land value) and improved value.
As far as using this as a valuation, well usually they are below market value so it wouldn’t be in your interest…[Read more]

Hi Simon

I’m not saying mums who work are doing the wrong thing but i am saying if a mum wants to stay home she should be encouraged. Having a stay home wife- its amazing how they can be treated as inferior to working mums.

Simon, re the team work – this guy appears to be running the show his wishes are being met but not hers, thats what needs…[Read more]

Hi Caroline

i also want to say i disagree with Simons comments, your “value” as a stay home mum can’t be understated.

Janine, my wife has been a stay home Mum and on one income we were able to successfully create financial independance. And I was working as a school chaplain on a reasonable low income (compared to what i make now from my own…[Read more]

Hi Caroline

i agree with Jenny

Your marriage should be a partnership, just because he makes the money doesn’t mean he has control over it. It should all be a “joint decision”. I’m sure i don’t need to tell you that, but you need to discuss it openly with him so that he can understand the importance of investing for the benifit of both of…[Read more]
