    Who do you listen to on Property Talk?

    I was thinking today about all the people I have seen come and go and the many regular contributors on PT and was wondering... Who do you listen to???

    Some posters, for example, may have cost their followers millions in terms of poor advice, some seem to be "learning on the job" and others seem to be settling in for the long haul, growing veggies in the bunker!

    And as for the economists, personally I think that they couldn't predict an orgy at a swinger’s party.

    It is actually blimen hard to know who to get advice from! So I thought I would start a thread on my top three PT's for advice.

    Gatekeeper: Always well read. A bit of a pessimist and really should have known better than to come to the rescue of C3PO but a greater contributor.

    Olly: A man among boys. He has a wisdom that can only come from years in the traps. He has made mistakes and admits it. Very few cannot walk away from him without a lesson learnt.

    Dan Dan: What a man!! Is prepared for ridicule with some bold calls. And I like his/her taste in cars!!

    I rate CD, and I think Badger is well worth listening to.

    Overall I must admit that I like to listen to the sentiment and try to pick out the general feeling of the market by reading many threads.

      Actually SG you ain't too bad either in that we know we will always get a direct and starightforward answer to questions which is a sometimes lacking for those in the game of educating or selling.

        Personally like exnzpat's writing style and take special note to heed Austro's advice.

          Personally, I respect the opinions and advice of Xris, Exnzpatpat, Olly, Eri, Perry, Austro, Steve Netwriter and often Gatekeeper and CJ amongst others.

          I have no time for the poster/spruiker pushing rip offs, cons and poor advice.

            Yeah definitely Steve, also have found the input of Terry and Matt Gilligan very useful. Have really appreciated the work of the hard working people that keep this site running, especially Marco recently.

              Hi

              I always look at for the posts from guys like:
              • Spurner
              • Dan Dan
              • R Rat
              • Terry
              • Matt Gilligan
              • Glenn
              • Olly


              Look for practical views on property investment / tenancy. Glenn especially is brilliant on managing tenancy issues.

              Have to admit there is a far bigger list of people I could have written down. Have learnt a lot since joining.

                      I'm with Steve on this.

                      Its not this or that person, but the interplay of opinions and personalities which make this such an addictive place.

                      Having said that, some individuals I especially respect and/or enjoy are:

                      Olly - He is an assett to PT. Hope he never gets miffed and leaves us for ever.
                      Davo - I know personally, and I know he knows a lot.
                      JohnL - He makes his "posts count", rather than "counting posts".
                      CD - Say no more.
                      Glenn - As real as it gets.
                      Roseneath Rat - valuable advice from "behind the lines" in bank land.

                      And many, many more of you who keep me eternally entertained an informed....

                      P.S. PoorMastery - Please come back!
