Thanks John, I want a property which can mostly pay for itself, but I am more concerned with long term appreciation.

For him, every day is a Saturday 'cause he gets to do what he enjoys.

Too much back scratching.With politics, it is a personal choice we have the freedom to exercise and it usually leads to argument with no constructive outcome.The main thing I've been concerned with is the 250k tax bracket plan.

You may find yourself in the middle of a commission dispute as a result of what referred to in the industry as "procuring cause."

Our yields in cities vary approx 2-4%, so I'm trying to come to terms with some cultural differences regarding home ownership.In a recent discussion on an Aussie property forum regarding forecast flat or falling property values, many local investors put the view that there is a natural floor on values caused by the rent/buy decisions of current tenants.

I turn people away if they are a lost cause.

You think it might cause some problems?

Fuld, I expect, will be one of many corporatists happy to contribute to the cause.

Nothing more, nothing less.As far as fear is concerned..... nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My concern is that they get other offers.
