I live in Tasmania just out of Hobart.

There is NO WAY I would purchase in Clarendon Vale, it is right next door to Rokeby and just as bad. (burnt out cars, etc)

I can only speak for myself, but “Rich Dad” started me on a mad research / reading frenzy of which I have still not seen the end.

I have just finished “The Richest Man in Babylon” – it is a good read and well worth the price.

There are a number of points he make that do cast doubt on Kiyosaki’s credibility, however I came away from them with a new outlook and a determination to start doing something with my life – and maybe that’s all that matters.

The Rich Dad book started me on my financial freedom journey, mainly be…[Read more]

I also use a (now large & complex) Excel spreadsheet in concert with QuickBooks Pro.
Spreadsheets are great because you can adjust them to any situation/investment/analysis you like.

The value may raise or may fall, both of which are outide your control.

Why not find properties that generate positive cash flow from day one – guaranteed?

Interested in such a thing?
