Hi
It's no secret that I have been critical of (among others) the information contained in API (see
thread) while at the same time stating my opinion that this place is the best resource in Australia for residential property investors.
I expect that many of you read API and that you're familiar with a feature they have recently introduced called "The Interview" (they've interviewed Michael Matusik and Bernard Salt among others).
I'm wondering what support there is for something similiar (but better, of course) here.
It would be a series of interviews with high profile forumites. They'd be done maybe once a month or so (maybe every fortnight, I don't know).
To make it easier for the interviewee, I envisage that the questions would be pretty standard.
And interviewees would, of course, be free to answer each question in as much or as little detail as they care to provide.
Example questions could be:
How did you get involved in property?
What is your property investment philosophy (CF, CG, renos, houses, flats, buy and hold, develop, flip, wrap, etc)?
What is your IP / property story so far?
Do you invest in other asset classes (shares, commodities, businesses, managed funds, cash, forex, etc)?
What did you think of the last boom?
Where do you see the market at the moment?
Your thoughts on the next 12 months and the coming cycle?
If a budding property investor asked "what are the top 5 things I should do", you would say?
And if that same budding investor asked "what 5 things should I avoid", you would say?
Is that the sort of thing that would be a useful resource to have?
Or just more of the same to look at?
