very interested to know how you remain abreast of all the trends in your post(s).... do you

- do all of your own research... or

- rely on information/rei/RP data and

- if you invest in property australia wide, outside australia or in one particular state

You use the "overall general economy " as a basis for an investment strategy...maybe you can expand, briefly, how you acheive this, & monitor the strategy & its performance

you mention rates (interest) so assume most ventures are geared...maybe you can share what debt level/tolerance or lvr your strategy carry's throughout periods of ownership , your preferred bank & if you retire debt on sale proceeds/after CGT

thanks Les
