Does anyone know any Accountants, Solicitors and Financial Advisors in South Australia who specialise in property investment.
Two accountants in Adelaide (including an expensive accountant I’ve been using for about 10 years) have refused to advise me on any investments whatsoever (possibly because they’ve been warned to keep their investment advice to themselves for fear of litigation) and they continually advise me to seek the “expert” opinion of a financial advisor. Their advice is very frustrating because everyone knows that financial advisors simply aren’t interested in property because they can’t get a hit out of it.
Anyway, after all that – I’m open to suggestions.

Hi Johnny,

do a search for “Adelaide” and you will get all the info you need!

Cheers, Marco

PS – why go to a financial advisor? They are only glorified insurance salesmen(IMHO)

I know exactly what you mean Alf. If you’re not carefull you can start off with some money and very quickly have it eroded away by all the “hangers on”.
