    Disclaimer: Used to work on SPI! I really enjoy all the mags for different reasons (and I also just love magazines). But I'd recommend treating each on its merits depending on what you're interested in. Some of the features are invariably better than others, and if you're not interested in...

    What were the disagreements over?!

    people featured in magazines

    Hey, I can clear this up. Used to work at SPI as a journo/features editor before moving over to edit Property Observer. Essentially, different buyer's agents, companies and similar (including advertisers, partners and people we're generally friendly with - i.e. my old editor/boss is on the...

    Direction confusion!

    Thank you so much for this! Nice to have your thoughts looked at from someone else at a distance - a lot of advice people get is so often wrapped up in the plans they have for/with you too. Yes - I freelance for magazines quite a bit when not running PO (and usually write about very old...

    Buying a house through letter dropping

    One 'expert' told me they had a 1 in 50 success rate, but that that one made it worth it. Not sure if pulled from the magic stats tree, but interesting.

    Ways to deter certain "types" of Tenants

    Think about what a young professional wants and provide them those things. Also, do a little bit of online searching about the tenant when possible... the things you can find out :). I know my PM did one about me when I moved to Melbourne as he started talking about investing with me!

    Direction confusion!

    Hi Somersofters .... Been a while since I've last posted, but thought I'd share some of my recent thoughts. Having moved to Melbourne (and watching the fairly crap market here) I've been really considering my future plans and focusing on what will keep me financially stable and happy (rather...

    Why is there low capital growth in this suburb with a new train line/gentrification?

    I just looked at Street View and how much nicer North Ryde's Parklands Road is compared to Fontenoy Road... with my owner occupier hat on, I know where I'd like to live comparatively! Also, looking at the suburbs, 63.1% were renters in Macquarie Park according to last census data, compared to...

    Positive Property Investments mentoring?

    Can't say I've ever come across them, but... Hmm so a lookup says it's registered to a James Denham, email: [email protected] For what it's worth, here he is on LinkedIn: http://au.linkedin.com/pub/dir/James/Denham He likes a lot of the things on their Facebook page by the looks of...

    Is Newcastle a good option?

    Terry Ryder recommended it in his column this week for us. I'm not sure - have heard about the area so much, and usually that's a sign that it's too hot!

    Melbourne meeting - October 2013 - Moreland

    I'm new to Melbourne too, and visited one of the last Somersoft catchups (with Gatherum-Goss couple!). Was great fun. Next one, I'm there!

    Anyone heard of property secrets ?

    Regularly the case re: BAs getting contacted with concept of kickbacks. Quite difficult situation to be put in. I'm all for the truth. Certainly, believe that buyers should do their own due diligence on every expert and not trust every thing they read/are told, but we should always strive...

    NRAS property

    Hi everyone, Thank you so much for the responses. I'm working through an in-depth analysis at the moment that will likely take me all week to put together, so I really appreciate all the time you've put into responding and I have collated all your thoughts together. If you ever want to...

    NRAS property

    Hi Somersofters, Love the forum. Recently jumped across to Property Observer. Don't want to spam with links (or I'll get accused of trying to beef up our SEO haha), but I've had a couple of opinion pieces up on the site over the past week about NRAS/Ba's saying how bad it is/etc. Wanted to...

    Albury

    True this, and some of their demographers are property investors themselves!
