I'm also heavily into shares - and I can always send the old man back to work!! Seriously, there are a number of avenues we can pursue, and we're still working on it. I look forward to discussing it with you further on 9 September (unless the Dockers prevent it!). Cheers

It wasn't really sudden, LK. Always part of the retirement strategy - just lucked in with the boom!!:eek: Had a couple of IPs with a colourful rental history in a portfolio of easy renters, so it was a no-brainer really. Also sold an aging apartment that had huge capital growth. Cheers

Still got quite a few, including 5 in Coobellup.:D Remainder in Fremantle and one in Parkwood. It was always part of the retirement plan to sell a few, and I just got rid of the more troublesome or aging ones, and what better time than now!! Managed to contract 2 sales at the end of last...

Buying is still red-hot in my favourite area, Coolbellup, yadreamin. Though I feel that will slow pretty soon. Hopefully I can sell just one more house before that!:p But I do agree with you about the rentals - I think there are more listings and it's taking a little longer to secure a...

Yes, I'm selling some to pay down debt with a view to retirement. Two down, one to go. Yes, the madness continues!:D I achieved $15,000 more than the asking price on #1 (in 3 days), and $12,000 more than the price asked on #2 (in 4 days). Cheers

Just cruisin':D ! Cheers
