hi guys

slum lord you are right historically the population has been in decline, but this small community has been incredibly pro active to return the town to growth. i haven’t seen the recent figures but i don’t think there are vacant houses there. (i don’t own any in Nhill it is too small for me).

hi all

hi mini how have you been? i haven’t spoken to you for ages, did you get the NZ photo’s? Bridgette is doing well isn’t she, you are a great teacher mini. i think Bridgette has done really well with that “Section” (block). i’d rather Dunedin to Gore, but the prices are cheaper in Gore (great name for a town). Dunedin has a suburb that is…[Read more]

hi guys

i like Nhill, its about 150km further along the road from me. It’s a go ahead sort town.
every time i drive through it, it looks better and better.

yes, yes. we always have these great english sporting team come over, sadly its always the same story they return with their tails between their legs.

anyway what about Matthew Hayden 380 runs not a bad knock.

i don’t even follow rugby but if its a chance to fix up the poms i’m interested.

Hi guys

looks like we can’t keep the lid on NZ too much longer.[]

Muppet, yes those towns starting with W and T that don’t show any capital growth. if you can buy into a town like this, that is about to increase its workforce, by say 100 then you would expect some capital growth. Sometime properties are just so cheap they have to go up in…[Read more]

hi bridgette

i suggest you get on a plane and go over and have a look around. i don’t like to say to much these days about NZ, it just creates more Aussie interest in the land of the long white cloud. But i’d be comfortable buying in Gore (i’ve got 2 there myself). some advice for you. i know alot of people who are regular to the forum and they…[Read more]

hi bear

your very intuitive.
the crush started the day i looked at crashy’s web page. when i saw crashy’s picture i fell instantly in love. but please keep it a secret, my wife reads the forum soemtimes. i’m sure i can trust you bear, and please don’t tell anyone else on the forum.
love westan

hi guys

i’m sure the old debates will continue

i just have to make sure my punches aren’t below the belt. (and i better not bite him on the ear either). there’s a few more rounds left in this old fighter.

as far as international flights go qantas hasn’t had a fatality making it the safest airline in the world. but it has had accidents. i think there was a 747 stuck in mud at the end of a runway in singapore?
westan

he sounds like a real fruit loop.

who hasn’t replied?

its funny i notice that the forum gets quiet around 4 till 6.30pm as everyone knocks off work and heads home.
Don’t know about people watching the rugby though. Are people still interested in it? i think “australian idol” will rate higher.

you have a big problem, perhaps you could get stronger chicken wire. my gran had problems years ago with Foxes, so i can understand your dilema.

hi guys

i agree with the advice to educate yourself. i’ve found that locally i couldn’t find accountants who really understood what i am doing. 6 yrs ago one accountant told me not to invest in properties (glad i never listened). This year as a result of this forum i met Dale Gatherum Goss who was excellent (he is in Kilsyth Melb). i know…[Read more]

hi all

the 10,000 population rule will restrict you from a lot of really good deals. Normally i only buy in towns of 5,000 or more. Earlier this year i found a house for my brother that was $27k and let at 100pw. it was in Murtoa Vic and 30km from Horsham (pop 12,000). it was in my opinion a great return for his money (i should have bought it)…[Read more]

Hi brownbear

not sure i can give you a 1 to 10 but here are a few important extras

1 the potential for capital growth, this is where the big money is made. with Capital growth you can refinance the property and then buy more properties. i like to look for areas with new developments (often new industries are moving to. For example the Mineral…[Read more]
