    I also like to inform you that emotion takes part in my opinion to buy. It is purely down to hard cold mathematics, planning, patience and risk analysis.

    Emotion takes part? mathematics etc


    That may be true if you have saved large deposits but I wouldn't count on equity in your other properties. I may also not wait to rock bottom as quality of life considerations are brought into my planning.

    Enough saved from selling High and buying renovaters.
    Without taking money from my well paid job and renters so kindly adding to it every month.Oh yes people like you, forgot to say thanx mate.
    Nice to know my children will be able to have their own places without mortgages.
    However with a large deposit all ready, a high payed job and a good credit rating I am strongly based to take advantage of the right time.
    You did not have the [EMAIL="b@lls"]b@lls[/EMAIL] last time, so you will not realise when the right time has arrived for you to jump in.

    That's a bit silly, in my opinion. Investing in education can indeed be a very good investmet.

    I went, like many people, to Uni when I was 19. I had some savings by then, but far less than I needed to get through uni debt-free. It has proved a great financial decision.

    I know several people who have been to uni and dont earn half as much as I do, a thickie kicked out of school at 15.
    That does not even include the money I make from loverly tenants and renovating houses.
    You missed the point that the poster was stating getting in debt is a good investment.

    Yes strange the HPC'ers post in the main facts, and predictions from authoriatative sources.
    Because they will cling to any hope that there will be a huge crash so that they can to get on the ladder, the one thing they berate others from doing.

    Read the thread, in detail, nothing any HPI'er has posted is backed up by a shred of anything approching reliable evidence.

    Just my several properties I own outright, learning through one crash and still prepared to buy and will buy when the right properties come along at the right price
    The problem is that many people reading this desperatly want there NOT to be a housing crash. In two camps.. Those who know there will, and it will be bad, and are hoping to talk the market up. And those who don't know enough, and will clutch at straws.
    Mate! dont you mean all the desperate would be owners who missed the boat trying to scare people into selling at low prices to cause a crash. !!!!!!? etc


    I desperatly want MK Dons FC NOT to be promoted to the 1st division. However I know that they will be.
    Wimbledon fan? you must be one of the 1500 or so they used to get at their common.
    I also know that there will be a serious price drop in Uk property. However much I or anybody else wants this not to be the case.
    Crystal ball time. How often you won the lottery mate? You and me and everyone else are clueless to how tomorrow will pan out let alone the fickle nature of the housing market.
    I will read and take on board what you say but will always back the people that have been there and done it before, not some youngster that is just out of uni.
    If you know it's going to happen you can plan, and may come through it. If you cling on to the belief that it won't, you will likely get into all sorts of difficulties. Especially if you buy a property now and fall into neg equity in a couple of months.
    That old chesnut. If you are going to stay in your home for several years it does not matter what happens over such short periods of time.
    Not really a lot more i can add to this thread - i'm not debating with trolls.
    I guess you are talking about !!!!!!? Squitnow Danneyboy etc.
    I love debating with those trolls it is great fun.
    My advice is not to engage with anyone on this board who insults you, or belittles your arguments with personal gibes, or irrelevant point scoring.
    Hear Hear, just because you lose the argument/debate you dont need to run away.:rolleyes:
