    Hey Karen,
    Maybe you could try contacting the Property Owners Association in Qld. The link is under http://www.poaa.asn.au They will at least be able to point you the right way. I would call them myself but it’s a little late now. Hope this helps

    Nathan I have sent a question on the Mastermind Forum so we will find out. My guess is though it is an American Foreclosure or some such thing.

    As the dictionary defines it …. a profit obtained from an investment, a return.

    As said Nathan, structures are the key. I asked the same sort of questions and Steve explained a basic structure to me (which is in his Wrap Pack I think). Also I have a good broker who is keen to help me achieve my goal by playing hardball with lenders, etc. This makes my life easier as I have someone I can ask not Why can’t I do it….but how can we do it? and she provides possibilities ….

    It may seem a lot Nathan but that is not thast much believe me. The real challenge is finding a good solicitor. You can always check them out at the vendor finance association.

    Vlad,
    Two questions…..
    1. What are you aiming to achieve ?
    2. Do these investments get you closer to your goal or further away ??

    Hey Nathan…..Great to see you powering along. Find those answers and never feel bad a bout asking the question.
    One thought for you is as Tara said. Decide what you want to achieve (big picture) and then decide how you are going to achieve that goal (little pictures). I will say though that insteade of choosing one particular approch only I see Property as a problem and the more tools I have available to me to approach the problem the better. I suggest familiarise yourself with one approach and try it but never limit yourself from another approach because you haven’t been there.
    I will use all my tools as long as they take me closer to my goal of $150,000 passive income per year. What is your goal ???

    Hey Gavan,
    Congratulations on wanting to join the game. I personally try and do my numbers based on 10% deposit or even 100% down.Makes it harder but worth the challenge.

    As to accountants I personally have found Dale Gatherum-Goss very good and helpful with property matters. If you need more info let me know.

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune Angie. Just remember two things…

    1. It is only a mistake if you repeat it…(you didn’t)

    2. You control the game not the agent. IF it doesn’t fit….walk.

    I know the next one will be better..

    Have a look in the resources section of the website. Some good value stuff in there (I don’t get commission by the way).

    Worth getting a few things here and then for further reading hunt through the forum for a post by Steve that listed some books worth reading.

    I have no clue about the area at all Coolstil but all I can say is ifthis kind of investment fits your mould then that is excellent. I personally only buy property that is positive geared or that I can do a quick Reno on then sell. I find the cost of long term holds like the one you talk about are just not my approach…..not saying it isn’t good for you. I also fear that too many of these sorts of proprties will leae me cashflow poor and unable to reach my target of freedom in five years. (Five years to choose if I want leave work.Think I already know the answer).
    On a different note it will be interesting to see how well the beachfront properties do over the next year….I will own one for myself in the not too distant future but that is more of a lifestyle thing. Then again I can no longer look at any Real Estate without an appraising eye…what a horrible disease I have caught.
    Hope this helps.
