"your investment property" Magazine
- Thread starter dheath
- Start date
To be honest, I don't think it's that great. I've bought them so far, but think I'll give it up unless there's something I specifically want to read in it. They gloss over things too quickly for my liking.
Although maybe that's just me. I find once I become more knowledgable on a subject, the monthly magazines don't have as much to offer me anymore - but they're great in the beginning, and I keep them for future reference eg. developing further down the track.
if you want a mag then australia property magazine is about the best you'll get for residential property. it has interesting stories and good market updates - but i must admit, i'm starting to feel like i'm growing out of it too - or maybe because we're reno-ing our ppor i'm more interested in the house and garden mag

I'll second that.
I have found APM to be the best and most informative. I used to read the whole thing front to back and refer back to past copies religiously in research, but I find that nowadays I flick through it and pick out the bits that are most relevant to my situation. Some months I'm lucky to read half the articles - but time is also a factor. A new baby in the house may have something to do with that
.I do find the "facts and figures" parts at the back of the mag sometimes hard to fathom - but there are so many resources for figures, growth rates, yields etc. and they all say different things - it's not worth putting any real faith in anyway.
I subscribe and always will as long as I'm interested in property.
Also recommend subscribing to the realestate.com.au email newsletter - usually has some pretty good stuff.
metropole.com.au also has a market update area which is worth a look in my opinion.

I love learning from mags (might suit my short attention span ) and API was great for property investing. As others said I found I outgrow magazines after about 2-2.5 years - maybe that's their timeframe for safely starting to repeat stories. Happened to me with API as well as (don't laugh!!) Burke's Backyard. It was a huge learning curve in the beginning (I didn't know anything about gardening or Australian plants) but now I flip through it and there is little new in it for me, same with API.
I want to learn about shares now but haven't really found a dedicated mag for that - any suggestions?

'AFR Smart Investor Magazine'. Used to be called 'Shares' but that didn't go as well, so they've broadend the scope a bit to include other investments (eg. REA, funds etc), but there's still a fair bit on shares in there.

Hubby bought me a scratchy this morning and I won the princly sum of $7 which I invested straight into FR smart investor magazine. Looking forward to reading it! Very proud of myself as my winnings are usually invested in chocolate
