I could see this could be frustrating for investors who actually buy speculative artwork in SMSF as you would have to keep it under wraps and not view it until you are age 65 or deemed retired.

Correct me if I am wrong —- But the only thing you can purchase in your SMSF that you can benefit from is artwork, you can purchase this and hang it in your own hallway provided that is the most logical and secure place for…[Read more]

And suburb? Being new I guess you are enjoying the benefits of depreciation, but it still eating your cashflow is it IO or PI?

Often Financial Advisors push money and share related products without knowledge of property investing strategies. Question is, by seeing a Financial Advisor you are knowling cutting yourself off to the below strategies/opportunities:

BTW Have you read Steve McKnights book From 0 to 130 properties? Even if you take 5% know how out of that book you are well on the way to being active. Of course Ballarat referenced in the book has gone up in value since, but the principles remain the same all over.

Terry – Great to hear your a CTA, and everything else, all the important skills you have to buy and sell properties, so I guess you save on every transaction? So do you have clients you work with remotely, ie use internet comms 100% without need for face to face meetings?

Terry, just added 'uses a lawyer' for Active Investor and.. I went to your website, saw your qualifications it looks like you're a Broker, Accountant and Lawyer and can speak Japanese?? That's quite a CV you got there…
