I heartily agree that comfort zones are bad, if not
dangerous. The longer you spend in a comfort zone,
the harder it is to leave. It is easier to stay
in a rut then it is to climb out .

I think you might need to swap plan and purpose around

realestate websites looking for next purchase …

I heartily agree with you on that one. Only a small
number of the available properties are actually on line.
you really have to be prepared to put in the legwork
once you’ve identified an area to locate properties through
directly contacting agents in the area.

Also I’ve noticed some rural areas you can’t find anywhere
on line, but they…[Read more]

I guess it depends on the lender … the lowest I have seen
to date is 75% ( or roughly 39 weeks ) of the rental income
being included …

my take on the “pay yourself first” from richest man in
babylon is that it means dedicating a set portion of
your paycheque to investments ( make your money work for
you ) and then the rest gets divvied up amongst your
bills and debts … wohay then I can get that new toy
with anything that is left over … if anything
is left over … the goal…[Read more]

heh I put off getting buyer beware until the new one came
out and I noticed the ad for the product said they were
going to raise the price from $99 that sorta scared me into
action I guess …

The copy of buyer beware I got came with two cd’s and a work book. One of the cds is a data cd that contains
pdf and MS word versions of the templates.

Gives you a good base for your own templates.

Cheers,

Brian.

and the beauty is that you can edit the templates if you want to fine tune them a bit

I recommend them too, they have helped improve my processes
quite a bit.

Cheers,

Brian.

Hello all, my first post wow

The “experience” thing has prompted me to post
a question. Don’t know if it belongs here but
here goes.

Realestate experience, isn’t it more complex
than just how long you’ve been investing for ?

If I’ve only purchased properties in a single
location then I will have only experienced the
same property cycle. But…[Read more]
