On the evening of Wednesday 5th November I hosted our 1st ever mrd Web Seminar: “What In The World Is Going On With Property”. The event was a huge success. Two nights ago I hosted this same event again. Such was the enthusiasm that we upgraded our virtual room from 25 to host 50 people. Registrations continued to pour in, so much so, that we ended up unable to accommodate 20 people! BECAUSE of popularity of this complimentary even, I have decided to host it again this coming Wednesday evening; 19th November.
That means that aside from those 20 who missed out last time, we can accommodate another 30 people; actually 27 now as 3 of those spots have already been taken up.
At The Conclusion Of This Event You Will Understand
- The current state of the Australian property market
- Which way property rents & values are likely to head, when… and why?
- What impact the current economic global slowdown will have on the value of your home and your investments
Nothing good is produced by confusion! So when it comes to you successfully navigating your way forward; in these more turbulent times… DON’T BE CONFUSED; it is a sure recipe for disaster!!!

What In The World Is Going On With Property
Have a calculator handy; or you can use your head.
Here is a clever way to determine a person’s age. Try this out on yourself, after which you can use it to determine anybody’s ago (for the remainder of 2008 anyway).
This will only take a minute…

Last Wednesday evening I hosted our 1st ever mrd Web Seminar. The subject was “What In The World Is Going On With Property”. After the few usual technical hitches that seem to come with technology, the event was a huge success.
Those who participated offered encouraging feedback and commented that they thought the information given had been personally beneficial and insightful.
Tomorrow night (Wednesday 12th) I am hosting the 2nd of these two events… and I invite you to participate. I would love the opportunity to clear the air with regards to:
- The current state of the property market
– Which way property rents & values are likely to head; and when
- How will property be affected by the current economic global slowdown

Last month I felt there was a very strong case for the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to cut the official interest rates by a full 1%. I kept my considered views to myself but wished I hadn’t afterwards (as you do).
This month I considered the arguments and reasoning put forward by economists, journalists and commentators; who mostly said that rates were likely to drop by 0.5% (although some argued a case for just 0.24% and others no rate cut). I concluded that the likely rate cut would be 0.75% (or possibly more)…

What In The World Is Going On With Property,
Work
A busload of politicians were driving down a country road when all of a sudden, the bus ran off the road and crashed into a tree in an old farmer’s field.
The old farmer, after seeing what had happened, went over to investigate.
He then proceeded to dig a hole to bury the politicians.
A few days later the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus, and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone…

Features of this property:
- Resort styled
- Gated community
- Set on a hillside overlooking Lake Orr
- Ideally positioned between the shopping and commercial districts of central Robina and the emerging market square part of Varsity Lakes; adjacent to Bond University, right on the edge of Lake Orr
- One only 4 bedroom Townhome located on the central access driveway towards the rear of the complex. This position is ideal for those seeking an undisturbed lifestyle, yet with easy access to the pool gymnasium and entrance
- Being on the high side of the site ensures the balcony off the living area is an ideal place to spend a balmy summer evening
- Cool breezes and great views are just two benefits this property offers
A short stroll along the internal road to resort styled facilities include:
- Huge lap pool with beach entry
- Gym
- Sauna
- Outdoor barbeque pavilion
The desirability of this development includes the opportunity to cross a road and spend an hour or so on fantastic (and popular) walkways, boardwalks and bikeways that circle Lake Orr. Add to this being smack bang in the midst of the employment precincts of Varsity Lakes & the Robina CBD; one could almost justify leaving the car in the garage!

Last month there was talk that the RBA would drop official interest rates by 50 basis points or 0.5%. I believed there was justification for them dropping rates by a full 100 basis points; or 1%. I kept my opinion to myself and as history has shown, they did…
