Invercargillians Ahoy

[Perry]

Any PT forumites lurk in the wild south?
Like in Invercargill? Anyone fancy an
informal natter over coffee/lunch/what-
ever on Sun 13th or Mon 14th July?
I should be down that way, then, so my
lady can visit her rellies.

No big deal - just an opportunistic idea
for a put-a-face-to-name get-together.

Reply in this thread or send me a PM
with some contact details - either way.

Hi Perry,

I hear you have one interested member so far - hopefully more will jump on board too very soon.


Cheers,

Donna

T'was a cosy get-together at a cafe in
Esk Street, where AndrewK, Leapy and
Perry chewed over a slew of stats that
were available on Southland/Invercargill.

We also talked about individual strategies
and tactics and how rents in Tim's Town
were increasing, as commuting costs made
people from Winton, Riverton, et al, head
into town.

I think it was Leapy who said the average
rent for a 3 b/r was circa $212 for May 2008
and the price to buy in reasonable areas
was in the $200k and down, bracket. Rate
increase is 5.71% and lots of dairy and
related infrastructure development meant
that growth prospects were looking good.

A great place to buy, it seems. Go south
young PI!
