You want to trade a $5000 Supra for a $100K house?
Have I missed a step somewhere?
I am going to make a few more trades between the 5k car and the 100k house. I am not looking for one of my interim trades to be for a house at this point… sorry for the confusion
The next trade item will be worth 10k +
Thanks for your interest.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for your offer to trade – what would the fair market value of the house be?
The house I am going to trade for must be worth at least 6 figures ie: $100k.

Me again!
You'll all be pleased to read this post…some awesome progress!
It's been a while since I've poped onto propertyinvesting.com
1) I traded the Richmastery Academy Ticket for a $5000 Toyota Supra
2) We auctioned the Painting for $450 that was donated to the Mental Health Foundation
3) The $2 Trade Challenge now has an awesome website http://www.tradechallenge.co.nz
4) The $2 Trade Challenge was on New Zealand Current Affairs program 20/20 – Watch here

Exciting stuff huh!
The website has had thousands of hits and I am now considering several offers to trade for the supra…
One trade at a time…the house is coming!!

Update for you again soon…

Now there’s a comment from a person with an abundant mindset!
Too many people are “or” people, why not become an “and” person.
The same goes for the word can and the word can’t. Someone once said “Be a can person not a can’t”

Anyway, good luck with the challenge! Any ideas what your next trade will be? What happens if you can’t sell that ticket before the seminar is on – then you would go down to $0. I don’t think that was the wisest of trades in my opinion.
I have no idea what I am going to trade next. When I look back at the previous 6 trades, I also had no idea what I was going to be trading then…
You’re right, if I didn’t trade before May 2007 the item would become worthless. I think that this makes the item a great one! Having a timeframe to work within will ensure that a trade IS made and the momentum will continue.
I appreciate your constructive comments Paul.

Like they say “You learn something new everyday”
Billboards are great for cashflow. They are extremely low maintenance and can add value to the building they are stuck on or the land the post is in.

$2 to a house is not property investing; that’s trading – there just happens to be a house mixed up in the items.
Buying & Selling a property for a profit (or even a loss) is also referred to as Trading and in fact is not Property Investing.

…. PROPERTY FORUM.
The goal for me is to own a property. Is that the goal of most members on this website? I am using a slightly different strategy to aquire the house, thats all [suave2]

I heard Alpacas are o.k, ….
No idea whether or not they are a good investment.
Alpacas, I like Alpacas. Being a Kiwi, some would assume I like Sheep, but there is something about Alpacas necks…
neil91255 & L.A Aussie, cheers for your interest in my $2 Trade Challenge

Hi LA Aussie,
Yes, you’re right – the trading from a small item to a house strategy has been done before, no doubt about it.
My only objection to that comment and the yawn is this:
Creating income through Real Estate has also been done before, yet 1000s of people attend seminars, read books and model the strategies that have been proven successful in the past so they can all enjoy a similar result.
I am simply modeling the strategy that Kyle McDonald used to create success for himself.
There’s something for you to consider. I appreciate your interest in this thread Marc – cheers [smiling]

What are your thoughts on my $2 Trade Challenge?
What is your opinion….Will I achieve my goal of making several trades from $2 to a house?

Hi Foundation,
Thanks for your comments, as always, when I am doing something that is not “normal” I am open to criticism.
I appreciate that you considered “playing along” and look forward to making the next trade with someone who does see the value in my current item. [specool]
Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion – I see that about 180 people have viewed this thread and decided not to. [party]
