    Hey Matt,

    Hobart (New Town). Moved here to go to Uni 7 years ago and still haven’t finished .

    Where are you?

    BlackJack,

    From Hobart originally – Now my wife and 4 little ones live at Dodges Ferry.

    We team teach at Dunalley primary – we share a class so one of us can stay home and look after the young ‘uns.

    New to the IP game – just 1 IP negatively geared. Looking forward to the challenge of more!!

    Matt

    Just down the road, Matt!!

    With four little kiddies already you could just about open your own school soon!

    I’ve only got one IP too (and PPOR) but study the Real Estate guide religiously amongst other things. Always on the lookout but equally disheartened knowing how cheap places were just a couple of years ago. Hindsight *sigh*…

    ps. Was at Dunalley last week for a play. Pass through occasionally on the way to see the olds at Taranna. Yummy bakery.

    BlackJack,

    Hindsight Oh Well.

    Moved to Dodges 3 years ago. don’t know how many sub 100K properties we looked at in that time, even sub 60K properties. If only we had snapped a couple up.

    I would like to invest closer to home – where around Hobart would you think of investing?

    My accountant friend and I are thinking of teaming up in a partnership – we’ve been looking at Risdon Vale, Rokeby, but even these have rocketed in our latest boom.

    I don’t work Friday’s so I look forward to dropping off the kids, getting my youngest to sleep and sitting back with a long coffee while I pour over the RE guide.

    cheers

    Matt

    Your game, Matt.

    With the current tenant & PM troubles I’m having with my existing IP I don’t know if I could bring myself to invest in either Rokeby or Risdon Vale or surrounding suburbs.

    I certainly can’t afford to invest in New Town again – as much as I’d like to. There are still a couple of affordable properties in Goodwood and Moonah (never thought I’d invest there either!) and I’m still eyeing off New Norfolk (although the prices there are way over-priced at the moment but I think will be the first to drop should/when rates go up.

    I’m afraid I’m an old, cute house type person and I would also love some land (Collinsvale/Molesworth ?!?), but I do buy from the heart not the head.

    certainly sounds like some very dedicated parents out there which is very uplifting to hear. MOnopoly, I would have died if my mum did that!!!!

    Richmond, my Nan was also a single mum not form choice as my grandfather chose to leave her and move to Adelainde only to get depressed and commit suicide by driving into a tree!!! Nanna didn’t have any choice and there wasn’t any family benefits in those days so she had to battle it out with three kids and work too. I take my hat off to her and I absolutely love her to bits.

    She wouldn’t be the person she is now and at the place in her life that she is either. Good luck to all those single parents doing the right thing. I don’t think anyone means to put you down, everyone seems frustrated that there are a select few who make wrong choices and don’t realise the consequences of them.

    Ho hum. THat’s life…

    STeph.
