    I have recently found out about Steve and his books and within 20 days i will be $100,000 cashed up with NO debts except normal living expences wich i am bringing back to a minimal.

    So My question is Where do i start?

    Now i realise that research is important and i am going hard at it although i do work 5 days a week but i would like to make the transition to finacial independance starting now!

    i was just wondering if anyone would like to help me by giving me a little direction.

    Owe did i mention i HATE my job!
    Regards
    Dave

    problem + solution = profit
    money follows management
    buy property that pays for itself from day one.

    There you go – its easy to start your journey.

    I am still going. But I dont like the present climate for investing in property. I am consolidating.

    Dave,

    How about this one.

    Good Luck,

    I really want to get started too.
    And the more I find out makes me more hungry for CF+Properties.
    BUT it’s the Patience that you will need to learn, it will happen.
    Don’t jump to quick.
    Research and more research is the key I think.
    Lots of good info on this site to help.

    Good Luck [cap]

    Hi Dave,

    As the others have said the hastier you get the bigger risks you take.

    I would also recommend you do some more reading – there is a list of recommended readings in the ‘Heads Up’ forum that will round off your education.

    There are many ways to invest in property and extending your existing knowledge will improve you chances of success in the long term.

    Go and do it the longer you wait time will pass quick and it takes time to get there . Steves book is the best that I have read on investing in property , only beacause I like to turn property over as soon as i realize that in the current market for that property there is nothing else I can do to it (with in reason) to make more money on it. So there for I sell it and re invest some were else that I think has got potential to make money.
    But if you have only read Steves book, go read one of Jan somers books this is for more of an investor that likes the sit relax wait, but keep buying property. It is a very good tactic that will give good results. Also anther book that was writen thousands of years ago in stone , but re published in recent time it is called The Richest Man In Babylon this book will teach you how to save money so that you never have to be a slave to money I recon that every body should read this book if they have ever been in a situation were money has been a problem to them . This book is briliant and I try to live by its rule so to speak . Another book is Rich Dad Poor Dad this is a good book how ever very few people that read it could achive the sort of wealth he talks about . But there are some good points.

    Good Luck

    Cheers Rick[drummer]

    When it comes to investing I think you pick up something from every book you read – knowledge is power[biggrin]!

    I like different books for different reasons, obviously Steve’s books 1 and 2 whet your appetite, then there is Peter Spann’s book and I have just finished the Reno Kings book-Real Property Real People unReal Profits. Like Steves last book (in particular) it deals with real situations and how people worked their way through problems. It goes on to cover no cash deposits, and niche markets such as boarding houses, duplexes etc.

    I recommend all of the above to broaden your outlook.

    Happy hunting

    100k cash to me would mean 4 x $100k properties plus costs. This would mean that with 80K debts and rents of $150 achievable then I’m a happy man.

    Just a thought.
