    Hello Mickey,

    You will need to get some more information to make a choice.

    You will need to consider all property costs. This includes shire rates, water rates, land tax, strata fees, insurance, maintenance, loan costs, vacancy rates etc.

    Trade these expenses off against your rental income, as well as the adjustment to your tax return.

    Once you know the answers, you will be able to make a more informed decision.

    On simple face value they seem to meet the ’11 second solution’…so good job. It sounds promising….

    P.S. If you dont take them up let me know (shoot me an email) and I might be able to do something with them and get you a finders fee – [:D]

    Good luck

    Hi Mickie; Intrieged as to why you want to get into property when you have network marketing busienss.

    You see i also have a networkmarketing busienss and i want to get into Lease Options so i can make enough to live on as i beleive the end of the dole is just around the corner.

    If i can make enough from property to survive on then i can work on my network marketing business and build that up because it this busienss that i want to eventually run with. It has a lot less risks and for a $200 investment one has the potential to become financialy independant and it also has the advantage of being passive income too.

    bye
