    Well I have finally got my expenses under control and will be saving a deposit with my g/fried to hopefully get my first house in around 3 months. I am pretty excited, but have been copping a fair bit off sceptics. Negative gearing seems to be the only thing they are interested in and have a very unimaginative perception of wealth creation.

    One person in particular seems to think that Steve going to court for misleading the public or something? I doubt its true, but what is all the sceptisism for? people don’t like things they don’t know i guess.[blink]

    Negative gearing is,perhaps, all they know! I was the same until I read Steve’s book and found a better way of doing things. Many seminars tout the negative gearing line…so that is all people come away with!

    Dale,

    You’re a “real estate officer”. Wouldn’t the people who work in your field have many and varied ideas about real estate? Neg gearing as a monopoly idea of RE is about ten years old now. Most real estate people I know are pretty up with all kinds of strategies these days.

    Hi Kay,

    “You’re a “real estate officer”. Wouldn’t the people who work in your field have many and varied ideas about real estate? Neg gearing as a monopoly idea of RE is about ten years old now. Most real estate people I know are pretty up with all kinds of strategies these days.”

    As recently as three years ago the Vice President of the Victorian Real Estate Institute (or similar) highlighted the fact that, at the time anyway, only 20% or REA in Vic owned an IP.

    Don’t worry she won’t last long :)

    It’s a little known fact that the most successful real estate agents are those that leave the buyer & the seller happy in the majority of cases…Because they get referrals & repeat business.

    Service is the key, not pressure.

    Time will tell.

    Cheers,
