Hey guys, I was wondering what opinions are on non traded property trusts. I'm liking them as a investment option and considering weighting a significant amount of my portfolio towards them. Advisors seems to favour listed property trusts but besides the liquidity factor I don't see why listed...

Thanks vixs. Yes I do agree with your line of thinking. I'm not a risk taker and just getting into the share market is a big leap for me risk wise. I would rather pay slightly more fees and get more sound advice to minimise risk. At the end of the day I'm getting 3% on my money at the moment in...

Yes I was thinking that. So really I would be paying fees twice in the portion they invest into other funds. Which makes me think is it not better to just invest in a managed fund that holds a diversified portfolio and would achieve a similar result that just eliminates the middle man and there...

Hey guys, Just wanted to follow up on this post. I met with the cba advisors. I went in wary as stated above with them possibly trying to push particular products. First thing they tell me is they don't push any of there own products. There strategy is they recommend a particular portfolio of...

Thanks for your insight. That's what I'm thinking, wait till the market drops further this year then jump in.

I don't feel comfortable loosing anything, much more comfortable making . I'm happy to look at this as a long term thing. I'm still fairly young and earning good money. Mortgage paid of no other financial commitments. So could afford to take some risk but at the same time am quite...

Hey mate, been following that thread. Did you pull of that trade with Sto?

OP, I'm in similar situation to you. Mid thirties made some good money in property over the last few years and have a substantial amount sitting in a term deposit looking for a better return. Started researching over the past month and also looking at managed funds or ETFs. Problem is the...

Thank Guys or Gals. I appreciate the feedback. Ill keep doing my homework and leave the capital in the bank at the moment collecting a safe 3% return till it all starts to make a little more sense to me. Cheers.

Appreciate the feedback guys. I guess when I say low risk that is my perception and I have to admit I am a rookie in this field. Sentinel property group got my attention. They work on a individual funds being based on a single property purchase located mainly on the eastern seaboard with a...

Do you really think the property market is going to crash and even if so will it affect commercial property like it affects residential property? I am swaying towards no traded A-Reits such as Sentinel Property Group who have funds that invest in retail property. I feel that retail property is...

Hi all, New to the forum and was looking for some info / opinions on investment options. Recently just sold off some investment properties and have some capital laying around collecting a measly 3% return in the bank. i want to look at investing outside of the property market but I'm not...
