australian property investor – is this magazine any good? im thinking of getting a subscription cos they dont sell them locally in the country town i live in.
any other magazines you would recommend?
I’ve been reading API for a while now, I do enjoy it, but must say that, the more issues I read the less interesting it becomes. Quite a bit of repetition and not a huge amount of new information. If you’re tight on money I’d stick to using the web and getting some classic property investing books (from the library)…
I do normally read it for free @ Borders with coffee in Gloria Jeans inside the bookshop
we have no borders, no bookshops and no gloria jeans haha
I subscribed for the first time last year and I have to admit I've learnt a lot from it. For me its definately worth the subscription and I'll be renewing mine when it comes up again next year.

I am sure that you can get it from the newsagent????
couldnt see it there the other day – but maybe they had just sold out of the current issue.
I think it is an excellent magazine. I have subscribed for about 5 years and it is one of the best educational tools I use.
Yes, some of it is repetitive and some of it is boring. But I make sure that I read it cover to cover every month. I often come across situations in my property developing career and then remember "I read about this a few months ago in the API".
Subscribe. It costs less than $200 per year and is invaluable.
Cheers

Yes, definitely subscribe and claim it on tax. I think it just cost me $89 for a yearly subscription. I seem to get mine a little before the newsagents get theirs.
"my property' is also a good mag too. (or is it 'my investment property'?)
API and it are both a good read, and educational – but as there is such a wide and varied opinion on strategy, products, and 'growth figures' take it in all in with a grain of salt, and dont jump into anything just 'cos you read it in either mag without doing a bit of research / due dilligence yourself.SUbscription is a good idea.
All the best.thanks for the advice. i went back to the newsagent and asked the lady. they had them not where the other wealth/prop mags were but down on the ledge around the corner …. weird.
but i got one and its a good read. ill get a subscription.
i guess its just another avenue to get ideas, motivation and inspiration.thanks again!
It is also good for the data on the 8 last back pages for the growth of suburbs in each state of Australia. Sometimes a State may be missed out on the odd month.
The business mall has a lot of books for sale on the internet . http://www.businessmall.com.au/v8ghia wrote:"my property' is also a good mag too. (or is it 'my investment property'?)

All the best.I think you might be talking about "Your Investment Property". I find it to be a great magazine, especially for someone like myself who is still starting out and trying to gain as much knowledge about property investing as possible.
