Hi Sooshie,

Long time no chat!! I have been very busy with our business, and other committments, and so haven’t posted much lately. It’s hard, but you have to get your priorities right!

I think that you especially do a wonderful job as a moderator. I also believe that you need special skills to be a “GOOD” moderator. You are very kind and…[Read more]

Hi David and welcome to the forum,

Sounds like you are having a really tough time. I sincerely hope that things work out for you.

However, I believe you should have asked permission from admin@propertyinvesting.com before you leave your contact details asking strangers for money.

It’s sad that there are a LOT of scammers out there, with real…[Read more]

Hi Bill,

Can I let you in on a little secret??

Ever since you joined this forum, you reminded me a bit of my father, he has a similiar “bull at a red rag attitude”, which is fine, (but not if you’re his daughter, sometimes).[]

Then I found out that you had served in the Army in Vietnam. I could tell where the resembelence comes from. My…[Read more]

Hi Richmond,

Finally a post with some sanity..

I for one am very bored with this whole thing and would like people to make up their minds whether they are in or out. There has been enough said on this matter.

If they are in – GET OVER IT!! (PLEASE) []
If they are out – MOVE ON!!! (THANKYOU) []

Personally, I can understand that Bill is…[Read more]

Hi,

Yes, I always like to buylocal also…

Hi rickyw,

We had a nice house (farm) and just sold it so that we can rent !!![:0)] It finally settles this Friday – YAY []

We wanted to get rid of our Line of Credit, and invest in a safer way, but in a big way. We have owned our own home for a few years now, and the novelty has all worn off!!

We are excited to be renting again, and let…[Read more]

Yeah, I know what yuh mean, and the search function takes 3 days!!

Hi Melbear & Guru,

I understand what you are saying, but basically that is what the General Investing forum is for.

There are a lot of very knowledgable forumites out there who have a lot of experience to pass on.

**I know they are not accountants, and so it is up to you if you take their advice, but sometimes they can give you a reasonable…[Read more]

Polar Bear,

From what I remember, they had only been investing for about 9 months.

Any person who bought a property in that time could have made money in the hot property market in QLD.

I won’t be giving them any of my hard earned money…

Hi Leigh,

I would say a good starting point would be to go to as many seminars as you can.

At Steve’s seminar on the weekend, Steve asked if there anyone looking for money partners etc..so that people could network.

Good luck,[]

Hi,

Personally I think that a GOOD property manager earns every cent.

If you only intend to have 1 or 2 properties, then maybe go for it, but if you intend on building a portfolio, my advice is leave it all up the the experts. You get bogged down with bookkeeping as it is, without the added burden of collecting the money on time, and knowing…[Read more]

Hi Bear,

It was great to meet you yesterday!

Bye,

Del

Hey Native,

Yeah today was great fun.

Dave Bradley is a really nice guy. He is the quiet, “other half” of a great partnership.

Dave & Steve are both really genuine people and not full of crap like many other presenters.[]

They tell it like it is, warts and all, which is why we trust them, and want to succeed for them.

Bye,

Del

Hi Steve,

What I meant by that was, I believe that most of Australia has reached the peak of the property boom, as do many others.

When interest rates go up more than the .25% as they have recently, some people who bought the wrong property, or are geared too highly, i.e. using a large line of credit, will start selling -There will possibly be…[Read more]

Hi aj,

Each time we bought a PPOR, it was meant to be for life!!![]

We changed our mind (a couple of times)[] and then we went for a bigger house – we built a HUGE one in fact, but found that to be cold, uninviting, and not cosy. To us it was a TAJ MAHAL in a paddock. In December 2002 we moved to a nice farmhouse on 20 acres set up for our…[Read more]

How did you manage that?

I obviously couldn’t arrange that because Will & I work together running an asparagus packing shed and Will is the boss…

He would never go for that… It would mean he would have to do it all himself.

Actually, he got phoned to go back to work in the afternoon ‘cos 4 people were away, and had to leave ME to…[Read more]

“BIONIC CARROTS” [][][]

Haven’t heard that one![]

St John’s is a good one, however, some people find it daggy… I don’t know why, because they learn some great stuff, that can really save lives.

Cheers,

Del

We shifted last weekend! It was caos!!!

No matter how many times you do it, it really doesn’t get easier…

We have sold and are renting now also. It is by choice, to use all our money on IP’s and have some spare $$$ to spend when houses get a bit cheaper. No more line of credit – YAY, so we wont just be making the banks rich.

The house we…[Read more]
