Hi all, Thank you LB for providing that analysis of your thoughts. I don't agree with the sentiment though. P/e ratios are important, but they should not be considered in isolation. The effect of interest rates on what level the P/e ratio is, is very real, and to ignore it is probably naive...

Hi all, Brains, Acey, I couldn't agree with you more. I personally hate "national averages" as they are so meaningless. I probably have not explained myself clearly enough. I was trying to elicit from LB where he got his figures from as I thought they were incorrect. I gave one example and...

Hi all, Of course your right Brains. One house could not make a national trend. But when it is a fairly average house in a fairly average suburb, the type of places I invest in, then the past performance is a very good guide. Of course there is a range of yields for different types of...

Hi all, LB, You still cannot support your simple claim that ""Yields will get back to normal historical averages ie 8 -10% " " can you!! The reason being that you made up the figures and it is NOT the historical average at all. I gave you the example of an...

Hi all, Gee LB, I wonder why you draw the critisisms. I asked a simple question about where you get your yield figures from, that you have quoted several times, and we find that they are your OPINION, and not based on any fact. I try to base my opinions on statistics drawn from various...

Hi all, LB, where do you get your figures from?? Quote "Yields will get back to normal historical averages ie 8 -10% " What type of properties are these, where are they located, and what is the source of this historical average??? I can tell you for a fact that...

Hi all, LB, The reason why I asked about those sort of things, is that to have a strong opinion in one area, about the future, by itself is not logical unless the potential ramifications and results in other areas are factored in. For example the current media speculation on interest rate...

Hi all, LB you need to say you made a mistake. The question asked was a "what if interest rates rise??" Your answer was that there are too many properties and nothing will happen to rents. I think that is incorrect, and have stated why. As for you being "misquoted" err excuse me but I...

LB, There you go again, taking things to the extreme again instead of the likely. Lets look at a couple of facts that your doom and gloom scenario always overlooks; 1/ The population of the country is growing and grew by 255,000 last year(ABS). They will need somewhere to live. 2/ The...

Hi all, LB, you have got to be kidding "There is no reason that rents could be affected by interest rates. If interest rates rose to 15% would an investor be able to just charge more rent? nope. It comes...
