How many properties you bought in last 12 month?

[Ivanhoe]

Hi!
It would be very interesting to see how many "active" investors there are on this forum.
Thanks

Thanks for replies, lets put it this way: bought=settled, if you sold on the same day or later - you still bought it, right?
Cheers

Just one that I traded.

[Josko]

None, but actively looking fro my second IP.

Hello Ivan,

And how many properties have either of you settled this year?

Hi Ivan

I have always wondered why one would want to know?

1. To find out if this is a good time to buy - problem is we looking back at twelve months?
2. To find out if other people are doing the same - doesn't really matter because investing is about personal goals
3. General investor trend - very unlikely to be adequately answered here accurately.

ActionMan, I hear what you say, generally it's about goal setting. (And whom to take out for a lunch)
your 1 2 3 are irrelevant to me but would make sense to other ppl here I guess

Ivanhoe,

How about a parallel poll asking how many properties people are considering purchasing in the next twelve months? Rather than putting a number on future investing, how about three options: Fewer than in the last twelve months, then same as in the last twelve months, and more than in the last twelve months?

A discussion with Marc and Donna led me to believe that the forum has been far more active over the last twelve months than prior to that time. This suggests that there are many newer users on this forum who, like me, are learning a lot. I for one will be ramping up my investing (my strategy calls for two properties in the next 12 months). It would be interesting to find if others on this forum are gaining momentum like I sense many are.

Just a thought.

Paul.

I'm in the 10-20 range now, but only really started getting serious in the last 5 months.

Now that I've quit the job and have more time, give me a few more months and i'll be in the 20-50 range.

Also, Ivan your poll won't take into account deals such as SLOs where you control the property but haven't 'bought' it

[Ivanhoe]

SuperDad - good idea, why don't you create the poll you are suggesting (i don't have exclusive option on polls here me thinks)
Grant, to late to change wording, we'll do it in couple of month with:
"How many deals have you done in last 12 month?"

[SuperDad]

O.K. Ivanhoe, I'll set that up when I get home. I didn't want to just jump in and do it, lest I stepped on toes. (I'm getting "moderator shy".)

Paul.
