    Rent controls in Stockholm

    I had just watched this on cable. Pls do not ever ever do this... this system will create such inefficiency that will cripple a nation. Free market mechanism plus subsidies for some should do the trick for most situation. Creating a massive bloc in bargaining will only result in less housing...

    Hi, I read many forummers have subdivisions and are building up apartments. I wonder do you work with fellow forummers to Join Venture? Pre-sales? I'm a non-resident investor and I see benefits in partnering local boutique builders as we are getting overpriced stocks from big developers...

    Anyone successfully doing this?

    Hi Fenix, Go ahead and do it! I've been doing this for years and gotten quite a lot of leverage this way. The trick is on the discipline side, I did miss the payment date once or twice, but its OK, I called and its OK. I made better relationships with some of the banks as my credit history...

    Melbourne - Carnegie

    I'm vested in Carnegie. Streets near the train station should do well once the grade separation is completed. Underground train station right at door step. Why not? BTW, AUD400k for a 1br unit is considered expensive in Carnegie right?
