Hi,

We live in a democracy where the government of the day sets social policy.

As a Christian I see the value of giving someone who needs help a ‘no strings attached’ handout.

As a taxpayer I sometimes get frustrated at the inequity of it where you here sensational stories of families having kids to live off welfare.

Whether it is right or wrong is a personal choice. If you don’t like it then there is no point arguing with someone holding an opposite view on the forums here.

Instead, contact your local MP and tell him/her how you feel.

Oh, and my final comment – I always thank my lucky starts that I’m in a position where I don’t need welfare to survive. I don’t for a second envy those who do rely on government handouts to make their lives easier, whether through choice or life circumstance.

Cheers,

Steve McKnight

Go easy folks… share your toys and play like friends in the sandpit.

Personally, I’ve never advocated buying in rural hamlets. I advocate investing in areas with expanding infrastructure.

Still, nowdays I have changed my approach again to something that is neither location nor price specific. Actually, outlining this approach is exactly where I’m up to in writing my 2nd book.

Bye,

Steve McKnight

Tip:

Positive cashflow deals are made rather than bought.

Tip:

The more removed you are from the problem the longer it will take to profit.

Tip:

Cash is more valuable when it is in short supply. Remember this when negotiating.

Tip:

God invented paint to fix up brown houses, which always seem to sell for less.

Cheers,

Hi,

This post was moved here because it is an opinion and this is the appropriate place for it!

Trust me, I tried with other mortgage brokers but had no joy. Once again, Leonie spotted and capitalised on an opportunity that was available (at that time) to any mortgage broker.

I’m sorry if other people feel offended. That was not my intention.

Regards,

Steve McKnight

Hi,

The difference is probably members who have selected not to have their identity known when they log in.

You can see the people online in the Active Members area (under Members option in left hand menu that appears after signing in).

Still, I’ll follow it up.

Cheers,

Steve McKnight
