    Hi Michael, do you mind me asking why you decided to sell your Silver back in December 2010? I think you could have made a lot more money if you continued to hold on. Silver has increased by about +50% in the last 2 months, and is highly likely to continue to increase for a few more years.

    Hi Saybalebay,

    I have been trawling the net parts of Saturday and Sunday, yeah, this is what I do to pass the time.  I have found some very interesting properties – so just to get you started – here are some of them.  NOW, PLEASE KNOW THESE ARE NOT RECOMMENDATIONS.  This is just to give you some basis to exercise your ability to analyse deals.

    Here we go:

    8 Taylor St., Parafield Gardens, SA 5107 – asking price $375,000. Three IPS on one title.   Potential return $600 per week. 

    1-2/ 4 Yeates St., Mount Gambier, SA – asking $250,000.  Two x 2 beds.  Income not disclosed.  Call agent Peter Duffy of Ray White 08 8725 4011

    5 English Drive, Millient, SA – asking $239,000.  Six flats on two titles, all tenanted.  Gross $435 per week.  Call Valerie Jones of Millicent Real Estate 0438382506

    I found all these on realestate.com.au.

    I gave these as examples as you said you have $300,000.  Here are properties, mostly under that.  It should leave you some money in your pocket and get you started on property ownership.

    Before you make any offers, make sure you do your due diligence.  Find out about the location as best you can, travel and see it if you have to.  Meet the agent and ask to be introduced to the property manager.  Inquire about fees and vacancy issues.

    Negotiate the price and fees.

    Research, research, research.  See what developments are happening the place.  what's potential capital growth?

    Take care.

    Hi cuteyoungchick,

    This is why everyone must do their research.  These are not recommendations.  Not by a mile.  I only put them here so newbies can know for themselves that high returns are possible but they must do their own research.  No one can do this for them.  I'm sure this forum is about education. not spoon-feeding.

    Take care.
