xdrew, just one thing i forgot to mention in regards to your comment about "a path top a particular achievement is long gone" – PLUS to steve's moto of "doing things differently". I have to disagree with those statements. 

I believe you’re life is too short to try to reinvent the wheel or to learn it all by yourself, So the smartest thing that…[Read more]

xdrew my friend  I am sincerely grateful for the time you took to share some advice & thoughts with me. I especially liked the metaphor with the Ferrari crash; It hits a spot for me to be honest.

In regards to television, I don’t really know what’s even happening in the world due to the lack of interest I have in the tube. I rarely set eyes on…[Read more]

Well yes, My living expenses are $514,20 weekly on a strict budget  to be exact, I have a 12 month old girl and my partner can’t work as she has to take care of the child.

Why did i choose $1500? Because that’s my income at the moment and i would like to replace it in order to maintain the steady climb in savings. Working part time is just going…[Read more]

I like that idea Jamie, I’m leaning towards the reno for that extra, quick equity. Seems safe & simple.Perfect IMO. Someone mentioned pro/cons with this V renting. I’m not feeling too confident with renting, Does income alone determine which of the two are more suitable or is there other factors to look at…[Read more]

Another smart thing for you to do if you are a first time renovator is; spend some time understanding how much things cost.Spend time in Bunnings understanding the cost of plants.  The cost of paint.  How much you need to buy to cover the area you are dealing with.  1 litre of paint covers 1 coat of 12 square metres (eg an area of wa…[Read more]

Adiskay. I’m 25 and in a similar situation as you. I have just started the cert 4 property investment course ( done at home) designed by Steve. So far it is great I am about 18/66 sections into it although I haven’t done any of the assignments yet. At this stage I would encourage you to get into this as I think it gives you a…[Read more]

Thanks guys!

This blog made my eyes water, couldn’t stop reading thanks for that link
Just today i read the chapter regarding renovations in Steve’s book.. turns out DIY isn’t such a great idea.. hmm understood

Cheers, And another question i have. might sound stupid. But i’m willing to move from my old folks place out as soon as possible. Whats the best option for me considering i’ll need money to investing in the near future? To rent or to buy ? If i buy i probably wont be able to get anymore loans right?

my apologies in advance if im asking something…[Read more]
