Inflation for the property investor is neither hot or cold......as I have said in the past property generally increases with the rate of inflation + some. However you have to take note that property these passed few years has doubled......it has escaped the rate of inflation. So it is only...

There is absolutley NO WAY you are gonna see 7% growth anywhere in Australia in the next 5 years. My sources are numerous, but more so from overseas and some commentators in Oz. And especially one real estate agent we have been with for years who has over 30 years experience. The only way...

Well you may think what you want, but there is a saying in the 'old country', which is a little difficult to translate, but it goes on the lines of 'A smart bird, can be caught from it's beak'. But as Socrates would have said in this sort of situation 'The only thing I know, is that I...
