You’re right @xdrew, don’t settle with IF, think positive and change your IF to WHEN because it will inspire and motivates you to be a millionaire.

Awesome thread! Awesome Goals!
I Hope and I’m sure you will achieve you goals these 2014!
Good luck everyone!

I’ve traveled around the world a lot. I’ve been blessed with two legs and a good passport. Even if I had a ‘bad’ passport, I would never let that stop me from traveling. I have now entered a total of over 70 countries, 4-5 years travel outside Australia and learned the basics of few languages. I’ve met thousands of amazing people around the world…[Read more]

Hi Peter,
I just spent 6 months back in Australia helping my friend fully transition. If you email or PM, I could put you in touch with my mate and you can call him direct.
So I just went cold turkey on work about 2008/2009.
My friend was having a bit more of a challenge. B read so much Steve M, and Investing stuff. He really wanted to have a…[Read more]

I have used Brett and Loretta at Griffin on Denham Street.
I would recommend them.

Mikal, when I bought my first properties, and again during the GFC, I found some legal ways to get extra deductions are really get ahead.

As Colin (and perhaps others) said, call the FHOG Hotline, call the Stampduty Offices or Tax office. Totally recommend calling those authorities and getting info directly from them. You may find legal…[Read more]

We have a meetup group in Townsville too.
Started it after I saw what you were doing
Townsville's (not as big or good as Brisbane's…. yet)

Great stuff V.      What your doing there is fantastic!

Hi Fay, I might suggest looking a bit at your personal strengths and weaknesses. Maybe even go a little further and do one of those free Myers Briggs.
Also have a good look at your: What and why. What do you want to achieve and why.

This can really help clarify your purpose and choose a stratergy that fits that purpose and your individual…[Read more]

Hi guys, Thanks Benny for brining that great post back. I love seeing old post occasionally especially when you see the same people years later helping others.

Tip for all.   To keep my favourite posts like this and all important text/posts/bookings/ideas,
Try Evernote. Strongly suggest everyone who hasn't already got on it to try it. Most…[Read more]

Take a deep breath mate, perhaps 3 of them. Everything is going to work out. It always does somehow.

Which area? perhaps people here can help advise.

Buyers Agents.
Offering Bird-dog or finders fee's.  (Facebook groups, meetup.com groups, Investor groups)
I've personally  posted a few deals I found in my area that I thought were 'too good to be true'. I looked into them and they worked out but I couldn't pursue as finances were in other deals. I've got a real easy Reno and resell under VF…[Read more]

Funny, I was just talking to Ollie, he has one of the best sites I've ever seen.    hackingchinese.com   this guy (well Ivan does too) knows what he is talking about.

When you end up coming I would be giving any of the 3 of us some Skype calls.

Exactly! So true.  And as you pointed out, its more than just the language.
Yes going there with a beautiful girl makes a difference. I work with a Tri-lingual Russian Beauty sometimes. That blows them away. Or I take a Shanghainee stunner. 

Ivan, add me on Wechat, Adriannqld 

Great to meet up sometime when your in Shanghai. CNY I may go up to…[Read more]

Great question Ivan. I want to be more involved in Investing while in Shanghai.
I went with an American Property friend to an Expo with a girlfriend. I'm an approachable guy, people came up to me a few times asking what I was selling.
Mean while, there were some Australians there struggling to promote their Australian Property groups. I spoke to a…[Read more]

Hi Brian,
Thanks for looking after my friend last year in Albury. Awesome work.
I have one friend keen to do more in Adelaide. She has a couple of properties and would be open to looking at VF Strategies. I'll PM you her details later. 

Sent you a personal message Shawn.

Ps. I hope you can claim this on Landlords Insurance

Sure their is a lot of BS in the world.
I love this website because I've never directly done business or talked with Richard 'Qlds007' however I've seen him helping so many new people out over the years through this site. We have a lot of real Success Stories here and I believe what I see here much more than the magazines. I stopped buying…[Read more]

Hi Adam, I have Properties up for sale under VF in Townsville and JV's in NSW.  Happy to provide a fee for anyone that provides the buyer. Where are you?
We have 1 guy going nuts up here in NQLD. Went to Magnetic Island and Cairns this week and saw his 'We Buy Houses' signs all over the place.

Not to sure if where a match Sampson,
I've spent the last 4-5 years living off Passive Income while traveling Europe/Asia/Middle East.
Now 32. Working fulltime in Personal Development & Investing.

There are plenty of people here though that earn / make / made much more financial wealth than I have.
Great idea asking here, and please feel welcome…[Read more]
