I agree with their philosophy about acquiring property and keeping for as long as possible.

I would not buy from them. (NEVER BUY FROM A SEMINAR) But use their strategies and DO IT yourself. I have been to a few…[Read more]

Hi,

I have recently put my IP with Robert R Andrew (Queen St Campbelltown). I have had no problems to date. One thing that made me decide to go with them is that the Rentals and Sales are managed personally by the owners and therefore have a personal interest in the business.

Hi Battz71 ! []

Haven’t been able to get a copy of Dolf de Roos highly recommended book yet but still looking.

Very curious …….. what is his 100:10:3:1 philosphy you spoke of? [?][?][?]

Just addicted to this forum and hungry for knowledge.

Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.

Good advice AD

Am interested to know the title of John Burley’s book you mentioned?

Very interested in property investment and keen as mustard to learn all I can. Perhaps this book would be of help.

Title please??

Many thanks []

That’s what we’re worried about – financial freedom sounds great but at what cost if you have hundreds of properties to look after or keep your eye on.

I am also very interested in how to manage multiple investment properties successfully with the minimum of effort. Any advice and hints out there? Managing 130 sounds like a full time job in itself!

We have 8 IP’s and our PPOR and we do spend a lot of time and energy “keeping track” of this small portfolio of properties.

We employ a PM for six…[Read more]
