Thanks Guys & Gals
Thanks to you for my welcome back. I have already posted a few posts. Gee it is nearly 1pm already. Looks like I wil have to go back to my Coun cillor regarding Forum Addiction.
As GW quoted I started young @ 18 in 1979 and have had the fortune of riding through 3 booms. All of which rolled along the same
I don't class myself as a big property person. Just a small flexable doer -upper, developer, investor. I have twin boys that are now in first class. My wife works so I have been Mr Mum since they were 9 mths old. (And yes I have aged heaps)
Last couple of years have built & sold a number of spec homes on the rising tide of the boom. However now have off loaded most properties, held some newer places as investments and am sitting on the fence for a while. There are some good buys appearing but I cannot see anything I would purchase now being any more expensive in 5 yrs. Lplate I am into camping. Bought a new Rodeo twin Cab to take the boys camping. And to get away from the MRS occassionally.Usually take one boy at a time (1 is Sooo easy) Occassionally we all go . The boys love getting out and bashing around in the bush and all that camping stuff. We have just moved into a new home. A home that was originally a spec development. However as it is only 500m to a new golf course and golf club, 1.5 klm to the beach and has a brand new state of the art Public School. So we decided to move in ourselves. We have rented our old home.
I had a kidney transplant 8 yrs ago. Over the past 2 yrs there have been some problems with minor rejection. But all is well at present. So I am enjoying my health and the boys company before they grow any older and don't want daggy old dad hanging around. (No good being Kerry Packer)
It is good to be back here. We are lucky these facilities exist. Back in 1979 there was nothing like this and only about 3 books available on property
Anyway thanks again and hello to all the new postersas well.
Best wishes, health, happiness & prosperity
