Just made a comment in reply to another thread which is a nice summary of one aspect of our overall approach . " Good suburbs in Bad Times and Bad suburbs in Good times " You could also add mediocre suburbs in mediocre times ... but it's not as catchy . :D . Hence our decision to buy...

And success ..... So combine the two ..... Next week ..... The secret of how I picked the winning powerball numbers :D Cliff

200 replies and 10,000 views in one week .... :eek: not my aim , but it shows the power of " marketing " , in this case with a "catchy" title Cliff

And the Winner is ........ :D Every thing I've learnt about property investing is on somersoft . I just had to read it . By using my brain , I got to stage where I knew what to do without other people having to tell me . I listened to all the experts but didn't follow any of them . Everyone...

There is a " secret " . I have discussed it with Rixter and he agreed with it Cliff

I'll buy in two situations . The above ( we bought four places in brisbane late last year ), but also in really good positions at what I think is the bottom and that's not when the market has come off the boil . the market will usually drop for a while . In good places in Sydney the peak of...

Vast majority of people go into debt . I'm referring to a discussion of the negative way it is being portrayed by hobo jo as taking this thread away from its objective which is how to succeed , rather than why people will find it harder to succeed in the future ... That's a different discussion...

Ho-Bo jo and deltaberry If you want to have a debate about debt etc about that can you take it elsewhere . It's not the reason why people have engaged with this thread . Cliff

Good points . Depends whether you want to get in before anything happens or as things are starting to happen . Late last year in Brisbane , there weren't many buyers where we were looking and , from talking to agents in Logan that we knew , no buyers in Logan so you could low ball . Now...

Valid point Cliff
