I’ve asked similar questions of a couple of others lately, as they have reached different milestones on the forum. I thought you might not mind adding your considerable words of wisdom….
What are the 2 most important things you’ve learned about investing in real estate?
My big ears are flapping! I’d love to hear what you have to say!
Sorry, I was off celebrating my birthday and trying to do my filing so I can do my tax return from last year – oh yeah, and I had a book to read too. You’ll be pleased to know that I finished my 600 page book in about 2 days!!
Bron, I’m guessing that you mean learnt from the forum? If I remember rightly that was what you asked of the others?
1. That ‘chatting’ with others on a forum is a really good way to not only learn, but where you can have fun learning about property. Most of my friends are so not interested, but I feel I’ve made quite a few friends both on line, and some that I have actually been able to meet up with in Canberra. When I eventually get to Sydney I’ll meet up with SIS, PG and Kay, and probably some others.
2. That there are many different ‘philosophies’ behind the way we invest, and that no one method is right for all people. I also have to stop being jealous of Westan who now gets to retire thanks to his investing, and I’ve got to remember that when I get to his age, I’ll definitely be in the same position (in fact, I’m working on it for age 30).
3. That I don’t always answer questions properly!!!
4. That I love helping people (although I sorta knew that already) and that I hate seeing anybody’s quesion going unanswered – even if I don’t know the answer, I’ll most likely give it a stab to help steer the person in the right direction.
Chan$, HK is finished as a seminar presenter – but perhaps not as a ‘behind the scenes’ guy.
My question to you was just a general one, not necessarily what you had learnt from the forum but what you have learnt since you began with PI. (I have asked slightly different questions each time so I dont’s sound like a broken record!)Thanks for your reply though. I always enjoy hearing whar you have to say!
MMMmmmm Yes! We all have to stop being jealous of Westan!!!Ha Ha! At least he helps keep me motivated! And he’s still happy to share info! Thanks Westan!
Keep up the great postings! Thanks Mel and Congrats!
