The only way around something like this is if you team up with someone… they buy one property and you rent it out, you buy another property and they rent that one.

I have definately heard of people doing that… there are two…[Read more]

Just reviving it as I seek the same. I don’t have the money to actively start just yet… just wondering what there is available in re: groups of this nature on the Gold Coast ?

It would be better for me to rent a modest place whilst I invest… so that I can then eventually move out into “my own home” securely due to having the IPs behind me (as such).

I would be investing in property for income as well as assets. I realise it is starting to…[Read more]

I did a search and couldn’t come up with anything. There is no glossary of terms as such that I could find… so I have to ask… what does PPOR mean ?

Otherwise I’ve found this an interesting read since I’m a long time renter… and plan to downgrade (rent a smaller/less expensive place) so that I can invest.

I’ve always been curious…[Read more]

* What’s your opinion on the residential property market in South East Queensland ?

* What’s your opinion on the residential property market on the Gold Coast in particular… esp. Central Gold Coast ?

I want to hear ALL opinions – incl. the ones that refer to themselves as “Realists” (not…[Read more]

It’s affordable and accessible. I don’t always want to pick up a book. I really have to be “in the mood” to read a book.

Sometimes I just want to watch… tune out.. not think..

If you do not like TV, don’t watch it. Simple,…[Read more]

I’m a long-time renter. I was always curious which way to go: should I rent and invest in property (cf+) or should I buy to own (a property) and then invest ?

Hmm… I’m hoping to be in a better position in 6 months time so that I can move out of the rental property I’m in now into something smaller and…[Read more]

I really wish I came across this website sooner. It is one of the main reasons why I decided to stop with the Gold mentor program.

I figured that I know the basics… that when I was prepared to actually go ahead and “go for it” (as I’m still v-much in the learning phase due to not having the $$ behind me…[Read more]

I just wanted to add to it as I’m one of those people who happen-ed upon Ed B. much earlier than this website and thus Steve McK.
