    "There is no question that house prices will go down, just a question of when"

    Is this 'expert' really generalising property in Australia based on Moranbah?

    She complains because banks lent her large amount......no sympathy.

    Cry me a river.

    Go bankrupt for all i care....at the end of the day....bank never put a gun on your head and forced you to sign.

    I liked the "Moranbah is the canary in the coal mine" bit. lol. Nope, Moranbah is a one industry town that went through a cyclical boom. That's it.

    The guy who did that story is the biggest **** around! He blows **** out of proportion!!!!! I get yes people are paying too much for property but that's the market of what people are wanting to pay.

    What a load of crap that show was. I was at some of the same seminars where people were earning tens of thousands of positive cash flow per property. My gut said it was a risky way to invest. Perhaps a few others should've invested more conservatively.

    Does the American guy not realize that investors take advantage of IO loans for negative gearing?

    Thought it interesting that my wife who has zero interest in investments was amazed that someone would buy 10 houses in a mining town. I beleive the term used was "WTF?". :)

    Does he also not realise banks base serviceability on P+I no IO?

    Anyone know who the expert was? Seen him before, can't recall where. Wanna check out his credentials, and where to bet.

    We all know that Perth is the canary in the coal mine for the Australian Property Market. ;)

    The whole Australian property market is shot because the Perth market has gone down a bit. :D
