Fat Tony, why should they? Of your 5 posts to this point, a few have been in relation to people telling you where to invest. I suppose if someone tells you where to invest, your next questions will be “what’s the vacancy rate” “what type of property should I buy?” etc etc… seek and ye shall find… do the hard yards yourself, and you’ll be much better off. There’s a ton of information on these boards and http://www.somersoft.com.au spend some more time reading.
Just read the intial message on this post by redwing. It has a list of 24 points about property investing. Henry Kaye was charging $15k to tell people these points.
So can anyone tell me what PropertyInvesting 101 is PLEASE!
Dougall,
In the US, courses are given a number and 101 refers to an introductory course. Therefore, Property Investing 101 is a basic introduction to Property Investing. “101” has become a colloquial expression to anything introductory.
Hope that helps.
