    Why read a book when you can pay $000's to attend seminars that will give you the same info but allow you to walk away with that warm fuzzy feeling[?]

    These seminar people must be hurting in the current environment now that the property tide is turning...

    Your local real estate pages, Property/rental Press, Harcourts Blue book and Real Estate Agents house listing magazine. Spot how properties/rentals/rents come and go off the market and watch the price each time. Other than this go to the local library and get every book out and read them all over the next year so you get some balance to the views. Plot the views against what you are seeing in the real estate pages / market to check for reliability of the information.

    kiwi property monthly mags& forums worth a read.
    -most of the doz property books I,ve read run basicly along the same lines.
    -personal don't see much cap gain upside in the overall NZ property maket for the next couple years looks very bearish to me, except for the odd hotspot-(invercargill,southland for me.)
    - studying for reasons why a areas property will increase in value(or keep increasing)Land to build ratio,numbers of listings,sales
    - areas income, main employers ,future growth etc

    cheers fellas keep it up

    im giving myself a year or so, to study it ,get some brains about it etc.

    so far i know that a newer house is good if u want negative gearing to offset ur personal income to decrease taxes cause new house = quicker depretiation.

    "The Complete Guide to Residential Property Investment in NZ"

    by Dudson & King.

    It has Book Review section at the back for further reading. They even recommend some of de Roos books.

    Dolf de Roos is supposed to be NZ property guru but on page 9 of "the NZ investor's guide to making money in residential real estate" he says:

    "In GB, capital growth has averaged almost 10% over the last 900 years (since 1086)" and we all know what a crock that is - don't we Duncan?
    \"The overweening conceit which the greater part of men have of their own abilities [and] their absurd presumption in their own good fortune.\" - <b>Adam Smith</b> - <i>The Wealth of Nations</i>

    The information you have is not the information you want.
    The information you want is not the information you need.
    The information you need is not the information you can obtain.
    The informaton you can obtain costs more than you want to pay.

    www.propertytalk.com

    Check out the forums. There are a few old pros in there offering some good experience. Don't pay any attention to the peddlers & the ra-ra-ra.

    Frank Newman's "The New Zealand landlord's handbook" gives the run-down on practicalities. From a common sense perspective.[8]
