Hee hee its so contrarian to buy & hold now now even the gurus are running.
Even though good buys are now below replacement cost. Eventually that lightbulb will go on.
he he very funny
I feel likewise. I also say the same about you.
I tend to listen to the opinions of those I respect, work out which elements or strategies resonate with me and act accordingly.
We all have different risk profiles, objectives and circumstances. There is no one size fits all strategy when it comes to investment strategies.
Hi Rob Williams heres a piece from another post for you
Michaey Yardney Undisputed Genuis- but can we apply his theories now ?
For such a diminuitive man he is such a mighty speaker and last night at APIA I was impressed.
But when the market here recovers in 3 or 4 years can his theories be applied.
The gist is to think capital gain and not be too bothered about cash-flow as you finance the gap between cost and expense by refinancing increasing or added value equity, where the increasing equity of capital growth properties far exceeds your holding costs.
If your properties have even a conservative average capital growth you can refinance and "Cash-flow for you" is not a problem as you are setting up lines of credit from your refinancing.
But your "statement of income for the bank" cant include this line of credit ?
1. Has Michael gone mad and forgotton the Credit Crunch !!!!
2. Dont you need "Lo Doc" mortgages to do this.
3. Or is their another way that banks can factor in lines of credit ?
3. Will Lo Doc or No Doc loans return in 3 /4 years time when market is strong and credit crunch has run its course.
