Property Strategist: December 2008
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
South African property blogger. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Do you trust estate agents? With the property market taking a bit of a tumble in the last few months in particular, some tough questions are being asked of estate agents and truth be told - many of them are being found wanting. The main issue I have with estate agents is that very few of the guys and girls who show me around show houses have any idea of 'property as an investment'. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Property Strategist: January 2009
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
South African property blogger. Monday, January 19, 2009. Creative rent collecting strategies. Aaaaahhhh the not so glitzy side of property. the non-paying tenant. A female colleague of mine and I were chatting today and she's at her wits end. She has a male tenant in one of her properties and he is simply refusing to pay his rent. She has tried to be nice by giving him extra time to pay his arrears and tried debt collectors and lawyers letters. Saturday, January 17, 2009. As a shareholder / Unitholder i...

Property Strategist: Deposits
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2009/03/deposits.html
South African property blogger. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Would you think it inappropriate if your bank made it a rule of thumb that you had to have a minimum of 25% deposit before they would finance your home? Part of the problem that the "credit crisis" has highlighted is the extension of credit to consumers who could ill afford the gearing on a property portfolio. South African consumers have long gotten used to the idea of paying between 0 and 10% deposits (which many of them grumble about).

Property Strategist: Commercial property blowing up?
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2009/05/commercial-property-blowing-up.html
South African property blogger. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Commercial property blowing up? I was driving through Lonehill, Fourways and Roodepoort recently and it is quite interesting to see the number of auction signs that are outside the commercial property developments. A lot of these are these trendy "strip-mall" type setups but also these smaller office complexes. Or is it more a case that the tenants are the problem and simply paying later than they should be?

Property Strategist: September 2008
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
South African property blogger. Monday, September 29, 2008. And so it begins. Probably the biggest reason I hate shopping around for property is . ESTATE AGENTS! I'll be honest, they are my pet hate. Yesterday we looked at six or seven places and invariably we have to fill in the forms where estate agents take down all our details about what we are looking for. You will say: "We're not actively looking to buy but we just want to get an idea of whats on the market". We are just looking. We are not selling...

Property Strategist: Abalengani
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2009/02/abalengani.html
South African property blogger. Sunday, February 1, 2009. Anybody heard much about this Abalengani Property Group? They're listing their property assets on the JSE in a reverse listing into the Kaydav shell. They're talking about dual listing of Preference and Ordinary shares with the pref shares offering an after tax return of around 15% and you get ordinary shares thrown into the deal. Getting mixed feedback from the industry - any comments? February 1, 2009 at 9:42 PM. SA Venture Capital Strategist.

Property Strategist: Review your personal balance sheet
http://propertystrategist.blogspot.com/2009/02/review-your-personal-balance-sheet.html
South African property blogger. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Review your personal balance sheet. Reproduced with permission from the Bad Entrepreneur blog. I'm definately not one of those Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" preachers - but I think there was one really simple concept that was in the original book, which I believe that ordinary employees or employers should remember and take out of the book. It sounds like such a simple concept - if your income producing ( cash positive. It becomes an asset...
