I was just the same with my first (and only) IP purchase to date. Lots of problems with it over the past 2 years which is why I haven’t bought any subsequent properties. However, now that I’m clued up on due diligence after attending Steve’s seminar, I feel much more prepared and in control. I trust my next purchase will be a more…[Read more]

Wish I had thought about investing years ago, before spending 22 years working for the govt in a soul destroying environment.

I plan to quit this job in the next 12 months, and work for myself part time, just so as to have an income while I pursue the property investing goal. I wish I had taken the plunge years ago, but the public…[Read more]
