How does one get an invite to your parties…?

I take your point that $10 million in property seems like a lot to most people but the point of the book is to point out that in reality it isn’t and is achi…[Read more]

It seems in my reading God certainly does not want us to be “burdened” by what we have. Seems to me what we have is his gift.

(I would quote Matthew 6 as well but most people interpret it complet…[Read more]

If you did I’d be forced to slap you! [biggrin]

In the end we are all human beings with the same challenges, problems and dramas in our lives.

I just liked the quote from some guru I once heard…

A quick question – As i have equity in my properties and my wife does not work – i plan to borrow $20k (claim interest deduction) and buy a spread of property trusts.

Should i buy in my name (income earner) or my wifes name – no income…[Read more]

A very interesting question. The view is very nice – thank you.

How has my life changed?

Mmm, well, first I don’…[Read more]

Err, can you EVER have too many islands? [biggrin]

IF I deliver the book on time (running behind) it will be released into book shops about April 2005.

Isn’t everybody’s reaction a personal one? [eh]

Thanks for the compliment – glad you enjoyed it.

At the start of the Chapter on Renovating for Profit, Peter is meeting with Luke. Probably should have been a spare line spacing and a new paragraph started of Luke rushing off. Tis a little confusing[/quote]

Yes, it is a layout issue.
Oh well, in 67 reprints they will probably fix it.

It’s very close to the top of “active threads” if you are looking for it

geo is spot on.

The problem with annalists is that they are trying to predict the future. I remember in 1995 that one of the biggest firms in Australia said that the property boom (such as it was back then) was over!

And I was…[Read more]

I am happy to answer but have to respect Steve’s “no-shares stuff” rule – it is after all his forum and he has made the rule for very good reasons.

I have just bought your book from a book store last night, so far I have enjoyed it.

How’s it going now?

I actually want to direct – can’t act to save myself. I reckon that’s why I became a seminar presenter ‘cause it’s the only way I get to be on stage and…[Read more]

On the contrary – I was actually PROMOTING the local library.

Here’s the things – I LOVE seminars and I enjoy presenting and think we do an OK job. I think our financial planning service is good too.

But when I started I would not have been able to afford either.

That’s why I wrote my books (and by the t…[Read more]

How do you find the time NOT to read?

To me reading is magic. For thirty bucks you can get all the wisdom of an author that has taken them years to collect and apply. And even the self-published and ‘opportunistic’ books have something to offer.

I figure it would ta…[Read more]

This is a CRITICAL point.

Knowledge is no good if it isn’t put into action. I call “Knowledge Applied” the Key to Wealth and it is one of the chapters in my first book, “Wealth Magic” and re-visited in the new book “How You Could Bui…[Read more]

Yes I have. I found it interesting and obviously a lot of people have used the strategy to success. Just not my “style”.

The book is certainly a publishing phenomenon here in Australia and Steve…[Read more]

As well as my reading, I’m also listening to conversations with Millionaires by Mike Litman. ( when are they interviewing you ?? [blush2] )

DC is brilliant in terms of mind-set – I love his stuff.

Haven’t had…[Read more]

Didn’t I mention that I’d run out of cheques??? [wink2]

Next on the reading list :

1. Think & grow Rich – Napoleon Hill
2. Richest man in babylon
3. Wealth Magic + yr new book….
4. Creating Wealth – Robert Allen

Well, you have 3 of the best books ever written on wealth creation on your list.

“The Richest Man in Babylon” changed my life. It was the…[Read more]

Well, that’s EXCELLENT news, because as I mentioned before I am here shamelessly plugging my books.

Let’s see some genuine reviews (aware of your latest thread)…

Unusually sceptical from you Kay – oh well, to save you the effort of digging it out and reading it, here…[Read more]

Ahh sceptics, you know what they say – “A sceptic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing!” [rolleyesanim]

Perhaps you should go straight to…[Read more]

Thanks so much for that feedback.

No matter how long I have been in this “game” and it’s now been a while (since 1991), I still LOVE getting positive feedback from people who have been in…[Read more]

Who is brain? Who is brain??????? Sheesh, I don’t know why I bother sometimes! [angry2] LOL

I have selected Brain as my avatar (I presume more than one person can have the same one?) as I love his ironic sense of humour and laconic purpose.

It’s one of those jokes that gets funny only afte…[Read more]

After reading some of your comments both in here, but mostly in Somersoft, I have found you to be “good value” and I can only assume, your books would reflect same.

Aww, shucks – I’m running out of cheques!

Thanks – I always try (don’t always succeed by everybody’s stan…[Read more]

It helps to have read “Wealth Magic” so you know where I am coming from (and it’s a ripping good yarn – my mum rates it 5 Star!) but not critical as “How You…[Read more]

Thanks Mel – your cheque is in the post!!! [biggrin]

Should already be there – “How You Could Build a $10 Million Property Portfolio in just 10 Years”

Nothing, I don’t think – it is obvious that interest rates are on the rise, the US economy is in a mess and the most likely outcome is that we will be in an increased interest rate environment – most annalists who I respect are saying it will cap out at 10%…[Read more]

Well, I just think it could get hairy out there in the next few years. People who claimed they were legends by making money in the last few years might find out it was the market who did all the work, not them.

And if that’s the case…[Read more]

Not necessarily – the market is doing that for me in many cases, I’m just along for the ride. But there is no doubt that a good negotiator can do better without trying to unduly “squeeze” people.
