I think so many of these grpoups play on our own insecurities/fears.

That’s very true, Kay.
And if these insecurities/fears are not noticable, they may give you a “psychologic test” and analyse you till they find something *wrong* with you- anything. Something that they can cure, of course![baaa]

I thought they must of had half the articals or something, i noticed there is no SIS photo, or is there??

That’s right, Jaffasoft, no photo on-line.
On Saturday I went for a lovely walk with a friend and strolled into the newsagency to look at SIS’ photo. [biggrin] [specool]

Thanks for that McDonalds link, Kay Henry [biggrin].
It would be so much fun to go to one of his bizarre seminars- just to see how the guy operates, how crazy things can get in there [mad]. We could sneak in little le snacks (oh no they’re too noisy to eat, something softer like jellybeans perhaps) and we could wear those glasses [suave] with eyes…[Read more]

There are many ways to complete more deals, generally it’s personal beliefs that limit the number of deals people make.

You’ve read up on one of the investing gurus books, and they advise you put in “Multiple Offers”. say ten or twenty or more, etc.
So you go ahead and do just that.
But you can only afford to buy two properties.
Unfortunately, five of your twenty offers came back accepted, so you invoke the finance clause, legitimately now, as you can’t afford to…[Read more]

I just let my PM handle everything; they’re experienced and know what they’re doing by checking tenants out in the first place.

I also have landlord insurance in place, which gives me peace of mind.

Hehe taking photo shots of tenants- that was a joke…right? [confused2]

To treat tenants like potential criminals is not exactly my idea of…[Read more]

We ate our Monopoly game. Hehe, we had one with chocolate properties.

This covers building, contents, landlord’s and liability.

Landlord insurance includes things like: theft by tenants, malicious damage or vandalism by…[Read more]

What if you are a licenced trades person, and have your own company, could you claim work that you did yourself through the company?

Not only are these boards a wealth of invaluable information, but the forumites can provide entertainment as well, at times! ) [thumbsup2]
