I'm sure some are. I wonder what proportion of renters fit this profile, though...?

Fair enough. Thanks for the response.

BUMP. I notice another thread got closed, probably due to a discussion I was having with Beebop. Is it necessary to close threads altogether, or can we simply moderate out any off topic or inflammatory remarks?

A very good point. The problem is knowing whether you really do know what you are doing.

Having read through the last few pages of this thread, I think the issue might be one of definition. The "bears" seem to be being defined as those who think "property is too expensive and must fall in price". The "bulls" are perceived as those who think "property is always good and in the long...

Where do think the Sydney median will be in 2018? I don't hold any property there, and as such don't follow that market. My previous post was simply to make a point about the difference between an individual property's performance versus the market median. I understand you disagree with...

Agreed completely. At this point, I'll probably only buy more IPs if: a) I can get it/them at genuine firesale price; b) they offer something that I think will bring, or can be used to create, significant value going forward; and/or c) the yield is too good to refuse. My current medium...

Sydney probably won't be up to $1.3M median by 2018, but I would be very interested to see the median price of property currently built, in 2018. If you take out the properties that will be built between now and then (which will largely be on the edges), the properties that currently stand...

It's like anything - read through and have a think. If you want, write a constructive response. Or ignore it. I'm not at all a fan of telling people not to post stuff. I learn more from being forced to think my ideas through, and having holes picked in them, than I ever have from simply...
