Kay, if statistics are to be believed, about 95% of people have incorporated in their belief system, knowingly or by default, that people who prosper, do so either because they inherited money, know someone that helped them, are “lucky”, are dishonest/evil/or have a pact with the devil, and (if they person is female) she must be sleeping with the…[Read more]

Trisha, interesting conclusion. What makes you think I don’t “belive” in property investing? (we need defining the word believe at this point I suppose

Hi Westan.
I am not surprised you are annoyed. In fact I think it is inevitable.
You say I don’t know what you are thinking and you ae right.
I don’t know your conscious thoughts, those you control entirely.

Yet I know from what you wrote that you have, like the majority do, an array of values that have been planted in your subconscious by……[Read more]

Ooh yes!
I agree too….we are GREEDY – DISHONEST – EGOIST – EXPLOITERS – EVIL –

…taking away from the poor for our own lavish low desires. How dear you plot yet again how to earn that much more? How can you consider paying for such inside knowledge? That is avarice!!!!!

You greedy rodents, and the even more greedy seminars that mislead you…[Read more]

Don’t you love how politicians fill the air with grandstanding talks about how they are going to find new interesting ways to give away the money they take from us with crafty tricks, to more and recently discovered classes of deserving recipients?

Makes you wonder in this society who are the heroes? Isn’t it confusing?… the more you produce,…[Read more]

How well do you know Mr Paker Westan?
The short answer is you do not.

Far from “praising” Paker or Gates or any other millionaire, I am exposing the popular wisdom that points fingers at such people, using colonial economic models, thinking they have the right to decide how someone else’s money is spent, make large unwarranted assumptions about…[Read more]

Hi guys… some interesting and mixed reactions.

The reason I bring this up, in case you have not yet guessed, is not that I am a friend of R.R. even when common sense and observation tells me that justice was not served in this case. It has all the marks of a hounding campaign that concluded in a mockery trial. On the receiving end of an ill…[Read more]

I am surprised that you all follow the linching mob on this one. I thougt you where a more thinking sort of croud.

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Nice to hear you have found what was holding you back. One for Steve.

Boring? How can proeprty be boring?
Scary, difficult stressful may be but boring?
I usualy have accelerated bodily functions around the time I settle a property…. I wonder if Steve has somthing for that [biggrin]

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Well, “wanting more”, time to change your name.

You do no longer “want” a term of unfulfilled desire, set in an uncertain future never to come.

What about:
“Have more”
“Blessed one”
“Abundant”
Share the blessings”
“Paying it forward”
[biggrin]
Another book to add to your list,

Hi there!
I think the responses given make a lot of sense.

You must remember that equity does not mean capital unless you sell, so when you can probably find a lender, you will end up with your own home debt plus an investment property debt.

Unless you can find positively geared properties, you will have purchased a liability and not an income…[Read more]

Also, the market value of her own home needs to be less than $150,000 if she is to receive the full pension.

I agree with Monopoly and Mini, as for Kay, what can I say Kay? You appear to be an expert in taking things out of context. If that particular sentence has pricked you to the point that you have ignored the rest that puts it into context, what can I say? Enjoy!

The fact remains that if we where all Meat-Pie manufacturers, each one with a share…[Read more]

I saw posts like this before and really, to answer on the information given is a hit and miss affair, too much information is amiss.

Yet what prompted me to answer are the answers offered.

I am surprised at the, in my view excess prudence in the matter of raising rent to market value that many people seem to have. Most people seem almost…[Read more]

John and Lois.
Some of my opinions on the place.

If you want to invest in Mt Isa, never buy site unseen unless you have been there before several times and know your agent like your best friend.

Avoid RE agents from out of town offering properties in MT Isa like the pest, usually they are pedalling what the reputable in town agencies wouldn’t…[Read more]

Kay, the mechanism of our subconscious is not theory, it is fact. Older people apply the same principles to choose their partenrs that they did the rest of their life. The fact that they are no longer able to reproduce does not change a life long “system”.

The study of how our mind works is fascinating yet needs some dedication and cannot be…[Read more]

I wonder where Russ is, does anyone know?

I don’t know if you are rattling my chain, but in case you are serious, perhaps I can say that it would be the exception that confirms the rule[blush2]

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

I agree with Aussie, Aceyducey. You may think you know what attracts you to miss X, but unless you dig up all what is hidden in your subconscious, you probably will never know.

I was told once to try the following experiment: When you see a female that you find attractive, take a mental picture of all the features that you find interesting and…[Read more]
