View Full Version : Investing in South Africa
Pule November 11th, 2008, 01:38 PM Gents,
I opened this thread out of curiosity and please don't make a big deal out of this.
I just wanna know as to who of you have investments in our country irrispective of the size of investment. It will also be interesting to know as where and in which industry you would invest in if you have money.
I will start -
1. I won an apartment with friends in the Jozi CBD with friends.
2. I own another property in the Vaal.
If I had more money -
1. I would buy block of 2 story flats located next to Joubert BRT Station.
2. I would open a hair salon and a McDonald outlet in the same building.

joburg November 11th, 2008, 09:34 PM A house in Kensington near Roberts Avenue - providing in the future a direct BRT route into the Gandhi Square.
Else I think finding an apartment in Rosebank is like finding gold.

:lol: correct Jakes.
Pule November 12th, 2008, 08:56 AM One thing I have realised about the you of SA is the fact that they invest in their country. Most of people I know own shares or property.
Durbsboi November 12th, 2008, 09:40 AM getting property unit trusts as well
t-bang! November 12th, 2008, 11:13 AM i'd like to get into property especially in the CBD

Very true I have friends under 19 who already own property
willayster November 12th, 2008, 04:08 PM i have a apartment in sandton - linden rd. great rental yield.
bought a 3bed townhouse in bloem 4 months ago.
i have shares on the JSE - but would hardly call those investments these days. gud damn sasol
i believe its a great time to pick up cheap residential prop. i am moving to george in march - hoping to pick up a steal in herolds bay - but moi kadu.
with the interest rates as they are, and the markest being ubber unpreditable - return on cash in the bank is tough to beat.
Durbsboi November 13th, 2008, 07:20 AM hold up, I know some one in George wanting to sell their house on the golf estate, how much you looking at spending?
willayster November 13th, 2008, 08:03 AM which estate? only one i am interested in is oubaai.
