    Ipswich

    Markpatric, Hmmm, you had a site for sale at Rocky of late that was reflective of Ipswich prices if I recall correctly, cant seem to find it , want to post again? Sunstone and others may have bought in Ipswich when prices were considerably less then they are now, is that a mistake ? Good on...

    How many IP's would you like to have?

    Very true Peter, But what is a quality Ip portfolio ? Is it 6 relatively expensive properties in Sydney ? Is it 12-15 of the same in Brisbane with thought to future growth ? Is it a smattering of properties in beachside suburbs with a high boomer potential ? Hmmm who has a crystal ball...

    Brisbane market tested

    Interesting MJK Stafford has alwas been a bit of a neither here nor their market. You do don't say what sort of property it was so it is difficult to tell as to whether you property is indicative of the market or not. There are a lot of post war and semi moderns in Stafford that have never...

    Ignore list revisited

    I am sure I have hit ignore lists, do I care ? Not in the least, I'm with JJJ here waste of bandwith qaz, yet I responded, damn. You cant compare what people had ignored with others cause you didnt ask who they ignored. If you are really interested ask who and why. I can name a couple who I am...

    Considering where we are in the current property cycle,When is the best time to buy?

    See_Change, It was a solid result for what I thought (wrongly) would be a fairly ordinary market. Ok I still wouldn't buy there, but your result and your research set a great example for those here now and in the future, on how to go about their due diligence in selecting high performance...

    Good Intentions - Bad Consequences

    I would guess that i pay alot more tax than you do Peter. Do I have a bigger impact on the roads, oh maybe I have two cars and one, heaven forbid, is a 4WD. What is my drain on the health system? Nothing, both healthy with top cover private insurance, cant even remeber the last time I was...

    Considering where we are in the current property cycle,When is the best time to buy?

    Ok SC, Seeyou in a few years then, bye. Good luck with your 'mechanical trading' system, hell, you can write a book if it works. If you think yourself and likewow wont be competeing with me when you 'come back to property' you are kidding yourself. I think I have the edge on you re...

    Considering where we are in the current property cycle,When is the best time to buy?

    Likewow, I agree with your reasoning and my two buys weren't for the sake of buying just because I could. Both were exceptional deals with quite unusual circumstances, the fundamentals were more than sound, they were outstanding. ab

    HSC Over! Life Begins!

    Well Toppcropper wouldnt advise resi r/e. However in your area it has been the number 1 performer for the last few years - up to 10 - hands down. Look at gains made 'round the NCL beach areas over the last 10 years, Look at Lake Maquarie for the same. Or Stockton. Look at Port Stephens for...

    Travel deducability

    Interesting question, What happens when I am in B.F.E. (read anywhere a long way from home) lets say, Chile, and I wish to head back to Aus for a 5 day inpection of 10 scattered properties? Anyone have any ideas on that ? Assuming still considered Aust Citizen as I have no fixed OS address or...

    Capitalising Costs

    Yes. Obviously this is the easiest solution. On the other hand you must have clients using the same strategy for purely lifestyle sufficiency, that is 100% non-deductable debt. Or am I mistaken? Astroboy.

    Capitalising Costs

    Agreed again Duncan, this is, in my opinion, a sound strategy, taking into account a couple of caveats mentioned earlier i.e. all monies attributed to income producing assets, servicability of the growing debt etc. Servicibility shouldn't really be an issue as that was factored in when the LOC...

    What do you think the Reserve Bank will do with interest rates in Dec 04?

    Suit and tie (not required but it works) and we compete with the Indians on a regular basis and win. Value add, unblemished track record, proven high quality deliverables and outstanding client references often beat the price point. Our customers love what we do for them in respect of above and...

    WillG, I think it means..... when I can afford to buy :rolleyes: Twice this year for me. Probably cant squeeze in another though, timewise , but you never know. BTW I subscribe to Duncan's theory. astroboy
