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. 

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 Magazines (expect occasionally in an Airport). Rather spend time learning from sites like this and people like Richard and Jamie M.

Tom, I've been talking over Skype recently with 2 people from here and the Somersoft forum. They had amazing success stories. All of us retired or semi retired before 30. Escaping Rat Race in 5years, Single man? no kids, easy with an Australian Salary. With a successful development, renovation, Vendor Finance stratergies, or plans like Wilco mentioned (and sticking to it) in 5 years you could either be out of the race or a millionaire. 

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 in this PropertyInvesting Forum.

Its been a hot market? Not so sure.

I do expect it to rise. You mentioned Gladstone, check Google news for Bowen.

I'm more than happy to meet any Townsville Investors or assist anyone buying up here.

My last buy was in November in Rasmussen Townsville, 190k. Spending 20K on it. Will get it revalued at 250k in March.

Ryan Mclean, well done on your recordings. I'm getting into your site now, good landing page.

Paterson, I do NLP, Coaching, Mindset Training. Generally for installing beliefs, values, concepts of Investors for non-Investors.

The Tony Robbin's and Mindset thing you mentioned is what I most strongly advocate/teach for people to do/use/achieve first. And then focus on how to achieve what they really want. This sounds like what you have described. Very well done. I'm sure your already feeling the oncoming success.

I could dropbox you a few recordings on Property Investing. I am up for helping any Property Investor Members with Mindset training recordings/webcasts and basic or Intro consultations. Clients are finding my services through referrals so I'm more than happy to pay it forward here.

Hi Will,

Completely respect what your saying about not needing a Mentor. A good friend (or probably a few actually) paid $X for a mentor without achieving much. Personally I currently have a mentor and a 'system' which I roughly follow and having great results. The Mentoring/Coaching I'm receiving is providing a massive ROI.

Is there a lack of good Mentors out there? What if you had a great one for just a limited time.

PS. Im not a Mentor, I am involved in Coaching.

Im looking for a new one.

Almost got burnt by my last tenant in Townsville. I  self Managed and he didnt pay. Didnt want to leave after I evicted him as well. Lucky I followed certain advice and steps from RTA and then a realistic person at RTA. I went to see if they had moved out but the Tenant wasn't there. someone else was. So I called the police saying I dont know who is in my apartment but the tenant was evicted last week. Its not him in the apartment, and they were evicted last week. Its borderline but possibly damages or something so the police were nice enough to come and have a look. They found some Marijuana, and scared who ever was in it enough. the next day the apartment was empty. except for a pile of there trash.

Maybe Ill post that seperate.

Townsville Agents.

Kingsberry Property Managment were doing a kinda ok job. After a couple of years there they seem to get better. they mess up a bit but not so bad.

The Rental Managers were terrible. The owner used to be a family friend but the place has just expanded so much they cant manage what they have.

A few investor friends of mine up here might be pooling our properties with 1 investor to manage all of them. If this goes ahead happy days. 

Problem though, they have very bad customer service. They don't return calls unless its to sell you.

I just signed up to one of their promotions were you can do it for 7days then cancel or go through with it. But they started billing me before the 7days was up!

Now they don't return calls or emails

I wouldnt use people that mislead.

Hi Melissa,

I did that about 10 Years ago. Been great. Yes there have been special Levies, MY roof leaked!

I also did the Gardens myself (and got paid by the BC for it) for a couple of years. Did a better job then the professional Gardeners I might add. Really easy to manage them.
