It is sad that you have this mindset. You are thinking like a victim, and unless you change, will always be one. Instead of resenting people who have done well; try and emulate them and strive to be them. It's a far better life than sitting around crying about how unfair it all is and how tough...

Despite our (investors) best efforts to the contrary, this is true. Isn't it great? :)

Until this part of your statement, I thought you did have a bit of a clue - even though you don't own any property. But as it turns out; I think I may have been wrong. If everyone only owned one house, there would be millions of people unable to find a rental property to rent. Lucky for you...

Yeah, agree. it's such a totally ridiculous statement that they would even consider it. It's basically saying "hey; let's take a pay cut every sale we make".

They don't have to. In fact; if it is a negative about the place - they will usually never disclose it.

I think you are talking about someone else. I haven't lived in Sydney since I was about 5 years old - in Blacktown.

FWIW, we own a unit in central Frangers - bought in 2003, and my SIL bought a house on "The Pines" the same year. She works in Seaford and my wife is a nurse at Frangers Hospital - since 1999 (except the 3 years were in the US) and I worked in ICU there for almost 3 years. We are up there a...

We all tend to be a bit too cynical when it comes to agents and ethics (me being the ringleader - and I was an agent for 5 mins :eek:), but in these instances, it is usually that the finance didn't get approved. Not surprising in this (finance) climate.

I think you'll find that properties that sit for a longer time in Frangers right now - especially in this pricepoint - it's becuase they are most likely to be: 1. Too expensive 2. Not well positioned 3. Cr@p house 4. All of the above. The second house for example, is an older house with...

Sorry PM; it wasn't me who said that - I was quoting someone else and forgot to re-insert the quotes. I've been back in and fixed it. But you are correct - it works.

AHA!! That's cheating! :D

That's what everyone says. Just get in when you can, and in 10 years someone else will be whinging because they didn't get in when you did. Oh; and they'll be saying how "lucky" you were. :eek: :rolleyes:

You said yourself a few weeks ago that your brother had bought there, and you would've but didn't because you're more conservative. Seems like nothing's changed. What more confirmation do you need that Frangers is ok? You're a doctor, income shouldn't be a prob - just find a decent...
