Cheers Thanks for the info guys,Troyhunt,your first explanation I can understand,still trying to get my head around Bayviews explanation,I suppose what I am after is the annual net return on the property as I intend to buy and hold,would that be a reasonable way to approach it.

Hey Guys, I have been looking for a property to invest in and I have narrowed it down to 5 maybe 6,these properties are attractive because of location and distance to transport,business hubs and all the usual stuff,but how do you accurately work out what percentage return a property will give...

Guys Need some ideas on what I could do.I approached a finance broker 4 months ago in relation to buying a house,he rang his so called mate in the banks and gave them my situatuion,as in being self employed for only 6 months on a really good year contract,the banks said that I would not have...

Ireland I experienced the boom in Ireland first hand,I only bought one property bk in 2002 but I will not be affected as had very low mortgage and bought before prices went off the wall,it was just crazy back there after 2000,house prices were going up and up with no sign of stopping,my...

Escape Its funny on this whole thread peoples opinions when around negative work mates or even partners,some people not effected at all,some a fair bit,I think its easy to say just ignore them and move on with your plan but when you are spending long periods of time with these people eg 220...

I have to get this off my chest,the people I work with are just so happy working in a job (just over broke),when I talk about investing in property they laugh and think that im crazy,I just dont get that because they are making so much money and dont see that if they were just a little bit...
