This could be the most interesting topic to date!!![]
Could EVERYONE who has purchased a recent cash flow positive investment (residential, commercial etc.) please post a short story on:
1) When you purchased your investment?
2) How much you paid for it?
3) What structure is the investment (eg: buy and hold, vendor wrapping etc.)?
4) What is the weekly gross rent (income)?
5) What your net Cash Flow is?
Keep it short and sweet, be awesome if we could see 100 or more stories of real life Cash Flow Positive stories from real life people!
Share your stories, even stories from a friend or someone you know. I think that the best form of encouragement is seeing real results from people who have done it!
I would love to hear from our fellow forum members who have successfully invested in Positive Cash Flow properties.

SIS you have been a busy buyer, well done, i bought 10 in my first year of investing in 1997. what on earth are you talking about “off set gearing principle”. By the way, just be careful, its not the number you buy but the deal that matters, especially in this market.
my best buy recently was in Dunedin (NZ pop 100,000) the asking price was 70k (which was cheap for Dunedin) and currently let for $170pw. i bought the property for 58k. i expect to add about 20k more when i paint the outside of it. it is about 70pw cash positive with a 20% deposit. the return on cash into the deal is about 35%.

thanks for your comments, All the properties i have purchased were under the market value and some have just already double in price, though i will admit, i know you are an excellent investor and many of your posts i have read, show that you have both knowledge but plenty of excellent investment purchases, which i also do admire.
Offset gearing – is mainly balancing debt and credit but creating finance with amounts of cash flow and quick created equity.
I will try to find a link and post it here about offset gearing, though i did do alot of talkin about it the other day on here on one of the threads.

as evidenced by your posts a lot of work/time/effort/travel obviously went into your deals.
As always good to see people doing well.
At the moment we’re adding value to our PPOR, having just got married. recently put reticulation throughout front and back yard (D.I.Y) for less than quotes for front yard, along with other work ( you can always add value to your own place by doing renovations and building equity )
looking at getting properties revalued and seeing where we stand before our next move. according to REIWA in the last 3 months our PPOR area has jumped up 15% value and 37% in last 12 months (median house price)
Keep the stories coming !!
