Hi Dutch,

I can assure you it is the same Ben Poulson.

It is a rather uncommon name, so you might be right… but how can you be so sure of that?

It is a little concerning that you are openly questioning our experiences because they may not be the same as yours.

On many sites a first post like yours might simply be deleted – you arrived…[Read more]

Hi Dutch,

Your post piqued my interest.  First off, I wonder if you refer to the same Ben Poulson as I was.   It might be – I only knew him as a Building and Pest Inspector, but a quick search tells me that someone of that name is also a builder (who also does B&P Inspections).   The man I knew did some B&P inspections for me some years ago.…[Read more]

Hi Wan,

A quick note from me (since I note you are posting here for the first time) is to reread all of this topic – in particular, do take note of my comments in this link (an earlier reply in here) –  https://www.propertyinvesting.com/topic/5068817-home-loan-borrowing-using-trust/#post-5069869

For me, the Chapter 9 from Steve’s book gives a V…[Read more]

Hi Tommy,

Some of our Mortgage Brokers onboard could likely come up with a more complete scenario for you.  I would think you will be able to find a way that works best for you.  Meantime, do have a look at this post :-

Well, moving to Chrome has been a mixed blessing.

First, it FIXED the problem mentioned (where I was being logged out of my Internet Banking within 2 minutes of logging in).  Then I noticed that things seemed to run faster, so that was a plus.   And logging in to IB was a breeze, and a fast one at that.  Firefox had been quite slow in that are…[Read more]

Hi Raj,

I checked this out with our Admin – he tells me he has adjusted the link in the Bonus area to include this – full text below:-

That product is no longer for sale but we made the checklist available from the bonus resources page.

I’ve set up a redirect of that link to the book registration page if he wants to try it again.

So give that a…[Read more]

Hi Dawiid and others,

When I Googled “Rentrepreneur” it defaulted to Entrepreneur.  However it did give the option to “search for Rentrepreneur instead” – and that provided just a few topics in reply.   Seems that title may have been recently coined, so it might mean different things to different people.

However, Google did lead me to one po…[Read more]
