Left wing political group orchestrating home buyers strike...

I bought a whole block 15 months ago. I've renovated to add value, and now have a positive cashflow investment with renters lining up.

It is what it is. I never, ever said there was not profit to be made in opportunism. Exploiting people desperate for accomodation will certainly yeild profits.
 
No it is because I have life experience and your story just doens't add up.

I'd never fault my parents for doing the best they could do. Even if they are not perfect the fact is they could have left me and there would have been nothing stopping them from doing it. I reckon you'd be wise enough to be grateful for what you got and not blame your folks if your story was true. Even if what you got supposedly wasn't much.

I didn't call them not smart either.

There is a tendancy of vain rich people to talk about how they escaped difficult situations and in my experience the vast majority of those in truly difficult situations just don't have time or energy to study anything, especially not engineering. Furthermore the turn around time for return on degrees is so very long, making it a terrible investment for someone truly strugling.

Yes, very nasty places, exactly my point, they're a bad buy for a PPOR, an extremely bad buy. I just didn't have good enough knowledge of the area and you lot gave me some terrible advice, no doubt based on vain fantasies that every single person on this forum struggled and rose up through sheer will and hard work.. like some sort of bad 18th century novel.

I have never claimed to have had a truly troubled upbringing, simply that I grew up in less than ideal circumstances. I don't blame people for this.

Based on your responses to my story, I think you are quite a nasty piece of work.

The tenants work full time jobs, and earn above average incomes. The properties, now renovated, are very nice and I would live there happily.

Your views are ridiculous for someone who has such limited life experience.

I tried to help you understand - I won't bother in the future. Run along and live your boring, average life.
 
I'd buy a 3 by 1 just about anywhere, but we're talking about units which probably house criminals, drug addicts and housing commission people. There is ZERO value for money in those "things"..
Obviously you won't buy a 3x1 just about anywhere. We've given you countless examples but you think your too good for the area(s).

OH POOR - YOU YOU WERE ABLE TO BUY A HOUSE ON ONE INCOME WELL FFS WAKE UP YOU CANNOT DO THAT NOW..


HELLO!!!!! My Daughter, Wylie's son etc are not only one income, but minimum wage one income. Funny how they can do it and it is so hard for you to do it.

IT WAS NEXT TO HOUSING COMMISSION WELL THE ONES THESE PEOPLE WERE SUGGESTING PROBABLY ARE HOUSING COMMISSION AND IT IS NOT A HOUSE BUT A MULTI LEVEL UNI

YOU PROBABLY BOUGHT A 3 by 1.
.
Next to Housing Commission is exactly the same Buddy. The Housing Department are selling off so much stock that these areas today are a far cry from what they were 30 years ago. Add to that that not everyone that lives in Housing Department homes are drug addicts or criminals. There are many decent people on low incomes that live in Housing Department properties. A low income does not make you a criminal.

No it is because I have life experience and your story just doens't add up..

Life experience! You gotta be kidding! A very narrow view of the world is what I see combined with very little life experience.

Yep! I agree!

No I am just annoyed with millionares who constantly claim they over-came adversity and struggled as children because their family only had one bmw and caviar was only served by the butler on tuesdays and thursdays.

You are a sad, characterless human. Bagging others to make yourself feel better because you don't have what it takes has a name - it's called tall poppy syndrome.

EDIT: I think from now on I'll address you as Tall Beeboppy.

tall poppy syndrome at it's finest. probably an minor in some 'arts degree' in there as well.

"but madame, the peasants cannot afford bread"
"well, let them eat cake".

here's one for you, Tall Beeboppy.

most people who are 'rich' come from poor backgrounds, out of the desire to do better than their parents and give their kids what they didn't have. psychology 101. maybe that's your next minor, i don't know. a lot of people who are rich also came from disadvantaged backgrounds - that one just comes from experience and dealing with a number of larger Perth land developers - something you clearly lack, both initially and with the drive to acquire more.

and then there's most of the population who can't be arsed doing anymore than is necessary to get by and then whinge when it's not working out like their 'rich' neighbour because they seem to think that because they do nothing every night in front of the telly, that everyone else is, as well.

and that's about where you fit in. you're aware of economics thanks largely in part to your socialist lecturers and institutionalised mentality, and now - rightly - you're angry that all that education had amassed to 10% of what you need to know in the real world. well, welcome to your gap year. this is the bit where you travel and get some perspective and come back bright eyed and bushy tailed.

your true colours have finally shown through and confirmed what everyone else here - having dealt with your trot at parties and gatherings and family christenings over many years - suspected all along; that there is no fundamental argument to the verbal vomit being purported by yourself, it's all opinion and theory.

the best bit is, your refusal to get in with both feet and see how you can make it work - no, no - just sit on the fence and point out all the bits we missed.

people like yourself come and go from the annals of life. i'm just glad i didn't waste my youth by trying to change the system.like you appear to be wasting yours. i'm glad i understood the system and just sought to profit from it, regardless of it's swing.

oh, to be an idealist again....the world was my oyster until it turned kilpatrick.

And on Wednesdays!!! We were extra indulgent in our family, we had caviar AT LEAST 3 times a week! :p

Oh and James was given the day off every third Sunday so he could drop off leftovers to the needy on his way to Church!

Pluleeseeee :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
I guess perspective truly is reality.

I’ve had it tough recently, the Cayman Isle accounts are frozen due to some ‘federal investigation’ malarkey AND I got a flat tyre on the Bentley today. But times like these I just pick myself up, dust myself off and persevere.

i hate having to move the dead body to one side of the Merc's boot to get to the can of inflatable foam. i always end up with blood on my cuffs - that's stuff's hard to get out of 2000count cotton shirts....

lol.. okay, so my refusal to buy what I can't afford = not trying to improve at life.

Who said anything abotu changing the system ? I merely state I cannot currently afford property. does that notion offend you that much ? Or maybe it scares you ?

Nah, it is called rich dad syndrome where people like to imagine themselves crawling out of the gutter and becoming well of through sheer hardwork and personal brilliance. The rich are often vain.

The reality is you caught an asset boom. Big deal.

I'd like to see the smug peoples on this forum starting out right now. I doubt they would.

That's the point - 30 years ago the baby boomers with a similar personality to you would say the same thing. 'oh it's so hard for me starting out'

Everyone has been saying this to you - get on with life and stop whinging
 
People all over Australia are "starting out" today, yesterday, last month, last year and they will also be starting out tomorrow.

What is your problem? People buy what they CAN afford. That might not suit you, but plenty of others are doing it.

When I "started out" I couldn't believe I was paying "that much" for a tiny little house that was horrible, but it is worth multiples of that now.

Just keep on renting.

I'm curious to know just why you are actually posting here? You have been shown time and time again how others are getting started. There are other forums more suited to you.

i post here for information on properties but I am amazed at how argumentative you guys get about me saying I can't afford to buy property and how you insist it has not become more expensive..
 
Actually people cleaning my houses and people I know working at restaurants carrying dishes are typically richer and make more money than say many lecturers (unless they do other things with their spare time).

But you probably won't believe it, since you don't believe there are 25 year olds on $300k-$500k whose job is to copy and paste presentations.

In summary, I'm not surprised professionals/academics can't afford houses haha
