hi 1hotvaluer

i think your post, which i read before it was deleted, was a blatant advertisement. i guess that is why it was removed.
why don’t you ask the admin of the forum if you can place a comment on your signature similiar to what i do in NZ.

Hi Matt

yes the battle lines were drawn in the middle of MacDonalds in Tokoroa. The local media called it the “showdown at the Mcdonalds Coral” (joke about Ok coral, you know Wyatt Earp, oh its bad when i have to explain my jokes).
It wasn’t that bad really my teeth have been replaced and that part of my ear lobe wasn’ty doing anything anyway. It was a fair fight as everyone recons i fight like a girl.

Hi flyer

i think you should do some investigating into the market rent of your home. if similiar sproperties are renting for the same as your home, if you put the rent up the tenant leaves and you end up with a vacant home that others will not rent because it is too expensive. However if discover you are 30pw below the average for your type of property why not put it up $15, the tenant will still be rewarded witrh lower than market rent for there part of the deal in being a good tenant and you get more $$$.
Did you ask the PM why he/she wouldn’t put up the rent ? It might be a friend of theirs who is the tenant ? I once had a PM who put her son into a home for $10 less than the rate we had agreed on.

so you need to do some homework i feel.

all the best

Hi guyn

when investing in Tassie be careful as there are some horrendous area (i don’t use that word lightly), Propoerty Manager will not touch some suburbs of Hobart in particular be careful of Clarendon Vale, Rokeby and so on, check with property managers where not to buy. there are reasons why the Police force was offering housing to it members for $1 per week in Rokeby a few years ago (don’t know if they do it now).

all the best

Hi Guys

i do have written goals and i regularily update them. Especially over the past 18 months. i found that my financial goals were way too conservative and i achieved things quicker than i expected. I think that is one of the real benifits of writting down goals it helps keep me focused and i act on my goals.

to be honest right at this time i don’t have a written goals as i’ve achieved the ones set, perhaps time to get it happening again.

Hi Holdencommodore

To the topic “country property predictions”

i will share the way i see the market. After actively buying in victoria from 1997 till 2003, i think i know the market a bit.
i expect that the market will go flat for a while areas in vicotia have had incredible growth in prices, perhaps playing some catch up to Melbourne afer years of going sidewards and in fact backwards due to some policies that the Kennet government bought in. In particular i’m talking about selling off the state housing system which killed the bottom end of the market (or should i say presented a fantastic buying opportunity for some of us). Areas like the Latrobe Valley we destroyed as the power industry down sized and over 800 state houses were sold. Back in the late 1990’s astute buyers were paying 25-30k for properties in morwell and Moe today they sell for 100K.

So where does the market go from here
I think that areas like Ballarat and Gellong will continue to rise slowly over the medium term as these areas are becoming/remaining centre where people are happy to live and commute to work in the city.

I think that the Murray area will also rise slightly as retirees continue to move for the lifestyle.

Areas like the Latrobe Valley, areas in the west of the state such as horsham stawell and Ararat will remain steady after great growth over the past 2 years.

i relly don’t think the market will drop in regional areas, but i also don’t expect them to rise much either. That is why i’ve sold more than 10 properties in the past 6 months and shifted my emphasis to a market that is still rising. i love cash positive and thats all i buy but why not go for capital growth also. Remember if you control 2 million of property that is making $50,000 pa profit which appreciates by only 5% you make another $100,000 in equity.
Personally i’d like to make a lot more that 5% Growth.

Hi all thanks to those who have said positive things about me.
Kiwizena i couldn’t agree with you more, the south island is booming economically and the old data just doesn’t show it. Lucky some are finding out what is happening by visiting the place instead of reading the Cenus data for 1997 etc.
i just want to endorse what others have said i see it on a daily basis foreign investors paying 5k or more than they need to to buy a property. Do your checks first, saddly even visitors in NZ for a few days, end up paying too much sometimes. Nothing can beat the time you should be spending finding out what properties have sold for in an area before you buy.
Personally i wouldn’t buy a home unless it was under market value at worse market value but to pay more thats just stupidity. I should add that its not just foreign investors who are making some bad decisions on the prices they pay the locals can be just as stupid.
protect yourself and spend time looking at the market.
