Alex, The only reason i havent mentioned who i work for is not to hide it from anyone, or its not that i am embarrised, or anything along those lines. Believe me, most "would-be investors" out there would learn a lot from the people that i know as they are genuinely experts and they know a...

Dude , posting an article about Docklands in "GENERAL" like the one above - is not praising one building in particular...Its just stating the facts from a Reputible Australian Newspaper .... So what on earth are you crapping on about? If you read the article, there is not one comment about...

Mr Bill I am interested in knowing what's the difference if i admit it or not? Is it going to change anything? Why is it such a big deal to you to have to find out? What's it going to proove to you if i do or not work for tetra group? I fail to see why you think it is such a big issue...

OH Really Bill??? What an amazing corrolation you are now drawing! So now i am being accused of a hidden adjenda as I am hyping up Docklands Apartments all because i posted an article from The Australian Newspaper on the thread? You have a really good sense of imagination mate.... Lozza

Interesting Article in the Australian on August 5th 2006 Melbourne city apartment market shows signs of life Majella Corrigan August 05, 2006 IT doesn't seem all that long ago that a savvy investor wouldn't touch a Melbourne city - or Docklands - apartment and a tenant couldn't be...

Interesting Jamie, Wow! It seems my opinions are important to you if you have been eagerly awaiting my response for over 3 weeks now????:) Maybe if you have a close look at how some members go out of their way to bait me and how they deliberately react to some of my comments to cause...

interesting comments - i have personally seen new quay (nolan etc) and i think watergate is a better finish actually. I admit, yarras edge has a good finish, but you will find that its over priced per square metre. Dock 5 in Vic Harbour is very expensive, but its targeting the owner occupier...

Gday Geoff Glad to answer your question mate, Of the 2 apartments i have in Docklands, one is non furnished - cost me $380k, and getting $330 p/w rent ( $17160.00 annual ) So thats a gross return of about 4.5% Which is just a standard return at the moment i admit, but not bad for...

Yes Shonnie, thanks for your kind comments. Its becoming quite evident as time goes on who the troublemakers on this forum are with nothing better to do but to presume things and wreck good threads! It makes me laugh actually. It's quite sad though! Just be careful what you say, you...

Myla, if you actually read all my posts, you would realise that i own 2 apartments, one is being rented out at 6% net, and the other one is $330 pw cheers lozza

Gday Doreilly, Its funny that you mention that there is a difference between what people ask for advertised rents, and what they actually end up paying. Well, my apartment was advertised for $330 p/w, and thats exactly what the tenant pays for your information...$330 p /w Also, i was...

nothing more needs to be said !

Skater, I would encourage you to sit down and ready everything i have said in this thread from the very start. I have already said about 10 times in this thread that docklands isnt the only way to go. But this is a thread on docklands isnt it? And all i am trying to do is share my opinions...

gday guys, this thread is an open discussion, where all of us are just sharing opinions. and i was quite enjoying this thread discussion up until now, untill people have, "yet again", started getting defensive and getting offended and bagging me over absolutely nothing. I have already stated...

I agree. but what you need to understand is that docklands rents are firming up as all the supply is being eaten up. And thats a fact at the moment. So in 2 years, i can pretty much bank on the fact that i will probably get around $400pw for an unfirnished apartment minimum. But the good...

Gday Wariouress, i never said that just docklands is the only way to go. I am all for a diversified portfolio. Please read my previous comments - :D There are bargains everywhere, but seening this thread is on docklands, i am mainly talking about docklands. Any investment that is under...

Units for me, i agree ! I am a big advocate for positively geared properties. And i agree, cash flow negative properties are a problem on your cashflow. Thats why i took up the deal i was offered... And yes, my smart investor mates are in the industry ! Both have had 20 years experience...

Gday We are having a field day here arent we ! lol ! But its fun actually No i havent got statistics in Canary wharf, but its common knowledge that when they did this area up, it went through the roof ! Just ask your mates! It was documented on television too once from what i...
