This is a big help.

ApplesHi Helen,
Long story short, I had an inspection done on a property and was overquoted for an existing problem that was found. I nearly let the contract fall over because I was a bit frightened by the cost of repairs. As it turned out the quote was for a bunch of cosmetic work including a new kitchen (that wasn’t at all needed) and not just for the problem identified. Luckily the mix up was ironed out and the sale went through because it was still a good buy.
My point is to be specific in communicating with builers to avoid misunderstandings that may make a good buy seem bad.
Also make sure that the builder who does the inspection is registered to do so. In my understanding registered builders are not necessarily regisered to do inspections/reports and this could come back to bite if something is overlooked.

Apples.Hi all,
Its hard to put a finger on 1 favourite these are up there:Scent of a Woman
Godfather II
Heat
LOR
Lock Stock and Two Smoking BarrelsWhile its hard to pick a fav, I think the worst movie is hands down AI (Now there’s 3 hours I won’t get back).
Thanks a lot to all of you. Your ideas have both confirmed what I already though and added some extra insights that I didn’t consider initially.
This has been a big help.Cheers,
Apples.Cheers guys,
Your advice about agent incompitance is noted, thanks Robert. Although I had not planned to give up just yet, encouragement helps to put things in perspective, thanks very much Derek. Next time I will be sure to make and ask for receipt of offers in writing and keep them honest.Cheers guys.
All the best,
Apples.James,
I am nearing completion on a course work masters in applied finance.
PELS Debt: Approx. $14000.
I recently bought Cashflow 101 and RK’s first 4 books.
Price: Approx. $400.
While reading these books and playing the game won’t get you much credibility in corporate finance, for all practical purposes I have learned more from RK’s products.
The small outlay for your education will save you exponential dollars in the long term.

Brady,
It is great to see someone so young with such vision. Having said this don’t forget to be young. I have spent the last 5.5 years at Uni and am approaching finishing my Masters at age 23. I realised that studying is only part of the university lifestyle, an equally great part is having fun, chasing tail and making lifelong friends. You don’t want to be a 58 year old property barron who hasn’t had any life experience aside from property and regrets not making more of their youth. So finish school, go to uni, run amok and do the things you will regret not having done otherwise. There is no reason – as some of the above posts have mentioned above – why you can’t do all of this, work, study and invest. Take it first hand, as I said I am 23 and I am also very driven but if I had my time over I wouldn’t change a thing. No amount of property can replace youthful experiences, it is something you jsut can’t put a price tag on.

Thanks a lot to all of you. That has been a big help.
