    People reply to posts seeking advice in a way that assumes you're a scumlord and you want the fastest and most cost effective solution.

    I don't expect investors rely solely on forums for all the answers.
    Its a start, stepping stone, but more to investing than a forum, IMHO

    Suddenly lots of posts on Brisbane

    What they dont tell you???

    use a forum for leads, a stepping stone

    the only way to work out what is fact or fiction is by contacting many realtors on the ground and valuers can be helpful

    It's called ramping in the sharemarket world where one bigs up a company, far more common than shorting.

    We get plenty of hyped up threads on where to buy, some have actually happened, boom in Melb, Syd, and Perth (shorter cycle)

    Brissy been going for a while, still a fragmented market, but lets see there are some bright spots I guess.

    But my point was don't buy if you don't understand what is happening, don't rely just on a forum for the answers.

    Agree. Dont rely on anyone else for your answers. By all means, listen. But then verify!

    There are probably only half a dozen to 8 ppl on here who's opinion I value and I still wouldnt act on advice from them before doing my thorough DD on their advice and the topic in general.

    Stop taking photos of me and posting them on PC.

    That one was taken about 30 years ago :D. I was a mere shadow of the person I am today.

    What they don't tell you on a property forum is that poster who is harassing you for posting your opinion is not a property investor.
