I own this game – a friend has it at the moment – but I have never played it.

I would be interested in playing with a group of like minded people.

Hwd007 – have you played yet? How can we set another one up. Would you be interested?

Money saving ideas – hmmmm let me see. Difficult to really pinpoint – but will give you an overall picture of my experience.

A bit of background – I am 37, de facto, 3 small kids, work full-time, get paid well, husband at home with 2 of the 3 kids under school age.

Have very nice home and a few investment properties – positively geared -…[Read more]

This topic was an interesting read for me. I am trying to organise the best structure for the way forward and the book you mention sounds great.

Thank you,[]

Depends what you are looking for. I’m with Steve on this one. It’s about the numbers. You don’t go investing in Tasmania and look for capital growth – if it happens great – if not – so what – you are looking for positive cashflow properties – along with the research of vacancy rates and other due diligence questions when purchasing IPs -…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip to speak with Dale.

I’ll keep you posted as to whether he agrees with my accountant (for my situation) or whether he thinks I will benefit from setting up a Trust.

I have emailed him today and hopefully get to make an appointment soon.

Cheers,

Can’t wait ’til Tuesday.

If you are new at investing in property I would go for one with some sort of immediate return – ie., rent. It also depends on encumbered you are – I mean do you have other loans, can you make repayments if it doesn’t sell quickly?

Prior to buying the first property, I researched and researched and…[Read more]

I’m new on the forum but not new at loving, eating, sleeping, breathing real estate.

I have crawled thus far, by stepping in, here and there to make purchases – but after the weekend’s fantastic fun I am now not planning to walk or run – but – to fly!!

Thanks Steve and Dave….and thanks to all your other inspirational speakers.

Good…[Read more]
