    Unfortunately for Daniel he mistakenly sent an internal salesforce memo about us to us…thank god!! Apparently I "asked too many questions", "stupid crap" like "how many clients have you aided in purchasing ten plus properties?" And "do you take credit card for the fee?" as a couple of varying examples. I could not believe my eyes when I saw it!

    in fairness Nathan had the guts to call me to apologise. Apparently Daniel had a bad week. I told him that Daniel shouldn't write things down that he doesn't want clients to see and that he should brush up on his salesforce skills. Nathan did offer his personal help which I politely declined. 

    B-Invested are learning that an organisation's culture is created and maintained at the top, it's from the top down that the team learn what is acceptable behavior. Therefore what is acceptable at the top is acceptable all the way down. I such a small business as B-Invested, it is the fact it was written down just shows you how the organisation thinks as a group. The issue here is there is no grey hair at the top to show them that they have lost their way.

     I used a national buyer’s agent to set the deal up, as I’m in Vic.

    RM, That property sounds ok, can I ask who you used as the buyer's agent? What is the rebate about?

    I would be paying it off my home loan or putting it in a off set account on my home loan.

    Renting where you want to live and investing where the market is moving can give you the best of both worlds. I spend 50% of my week, working with clients to get their strategy right. When they have their strategy's in place, they tell me that they find investing far simpler with a clearer direction

    Mark Coburn, Thanks for this post. This has changed my thinking on buying a home first and then saving for a investment second. I have been reading a few of your posts, I am going to call you for some help with my property strategy.

    This is a decision each investor needs to consider based on their own tolerance for risk and how they see the upside.

    Overview:

    Owning investment property is a business, and at the end of the day it needs to make a profit for its owner. Like running a business, the owner needs to balance managing risk vs. creating wealth. The risks with NEW are manageable and mostly known vs. those of OLD which have many unknowns, and can’t be fully known prior to taking ownership.

    Mark, 

    Why do you think there is more risk in buying old and doing them up?

     I  thought the same, but my investment adviser has told me that I should invest in areas that will potentially give you captial growth and if the returns are good then that's a bonus.

    WAG,

    How does your Adviser expect you to hold the property if returns are only meant to be a bonus?

    Where did you end up buying and why?

    Johny
