Have you read the High Yield Shares thread - here? Cheers, Oracle.

I think that's conservative. But the question is when you factor in holding costs (which apparently always seems to rise above inflation for eg. rates, insurance, maintenance costs) does it still offer the best return for the efforts you put in and the risks you take? Will you continue to...

How confident you are similar growth rates will be repeated over the next 4 years? Cheers, Oracle.

I like to see real property sales data. Since median/averages have lot of variables (aka renovation, sub-division, change in zoning) etc. etc. which might look like they are comfortably doubling in value but the owner/investors have invested money into renovating property or they have enjoyed...

Correct, timing can make a huge difference. Also remember thread on Somersoft warning there could be a potential correction coming to Sydney market over next 2-3 years. That will bring your average growth down even more. When you are in your retirement phase and doing LOE..you are not going...

My fear is Rixter the 10 year period might be extended to 14-15 years before they double in value. In a low interest rate/inflation environment there is a real possibility where average growth in property reduces and takes way longer to double in price. Ofcourse, there will always be...

+1 Agree Cheers, Oracle.

Skater, I think your calculations above implies you are getting better overall return than someone investing in areas with high CG but lower yield. You said you buy properties with 7% yield while HighlyGeared buys properties with 3% yield. But you have assumed both your properties double...
