Up the price slowly over 6 months.
Then hold a "spring special" which is still a higher price than what it was 6 months ago.
Amazing how many people are happy with that.

Interest rate tamperings are not the only strangle cord being used.
The IRD says it will no longer provide business reply post envelopes.
(I suspect they stop supplying envelopes at all, eventually)
The LTSA (Large Tax Snatching Agency - now called Transport NZ)
changed the renewal time for vehicles on the Restoration Register
from 5 to 1 years; now they're charging for it, annually.
Shonkey & Blenglish are certainly goading the herd of wild elephants.
Smile as you go under . . .

Geez, with the amount of time you spend on this forum during the day; don't youse fellas at Auckland Transport do any actual work?
I'm in a special place my friend ;-)
We do do work, just that my position doesn't require me to do as much compared to others, and all I do is manage my consultants while they do the work for me.
Plus I have no intention to climb the job ladder anymore, so I'm not doing 110% like a lot of my colleagues do.

Happy, no, was wanting America's Cup Win, to jump start the life back into Auckland property in four years time.
Note Tony Alexander's reads offer some hints on where rates are going, he is proved right time and time again, and I would also note his latest punt on Auckland house prices in this weeks report.

Gone are the 70 hour weeks, working nights, working saturday mornings.
You do it when you need to, but work for me now is just a place holder for income to show the banks to allow me to borrow.
Once I stop buying long term holds early next year, I wont need it.
Great having a little office to do all my property research and business though.
Work my 40 hours and blast away at what needs to be done, with the aim of getting home as soon as possible to wife and kids.

I did have a laugh at this....part time comedian I see.
No, because no matter how upset I am, my emotions don't change a thing on the outcome.
At the end of the day, rates NEED TO BE PAID...
Well my colleagues all work hard so they can keep their families fed, and I appreciate their efforts.
