Hi Arty2003 I agree doing this for a lifetime is simply no fun at all but if you can commit to a 3 to 5 year plan the benifits far outway the hardships, and you dont need a lot of money to have fun.
On the weekends I make games with my 2 sons to play and I think that making them with them is just as much fun as playing like last weekend we had a large box so I cut different size holes in it and I got my eldest who is five to put circles around the holes and give each hole a number from 1 to 10 (my youngest who is two and a half decorated the box with every colour in their pencilcase) then I set a line and they had to throw some balls which they already had into the box, I got my oldest to keep score with my help and then we all added up the scores after 3 turns each. I am teaching them numbers and counting while they are having fun.
If you don’t have children there is always a drive in the country looking at property []

Hi Richmond is that 160k minimum weekly rent or $160 weekly rent []

hmm maybe I shouldn’t have said that since your a moderator []

I think like most people I want more time with my family. I really can’t understand these people who finish work and go to the pub and when they go home their kids are asleep. I find so much enjoyment playing with my kids when I get home after work that I want to spend more time with them even if it means spending less time with them for a couple of years to achieve financial and time freedom and then start doing more with them.

You can also find any hidden assets on the property you want to purchase; say on a deceased estate there is an old vintage car in bad condition in the back of a garage now to the right person, a car enthusiast its worth money and you may get them to give a deposit and when the house is yours they take it away, also works with antique furniture.[8D].

Or on a large block check if you can subdive it to raise money, you just have to have a settlement on the same day.

I take no credit for these they are based on Robert Allens book “Nothing Down”

Just remember that when you look at the “For Sale” on the websites a lot of them have “For Rent” as well its up to you to think if its worth it or not, but then again on a good deal what can you offer a tenant?

Another good resource is the ABS Australia Bureau of Statistics.

Hi everyone
I am a network administrator by day, a Dad for two great sons, at night a USANA Distributor and on the weekend I am looking for Positive geared homes.

And its great to be alive []

But most of all I am on the road to time freedom because I know that to suceed you must be 100% comitted to anything that you do.

I am thankful for this web site because as an old chinese proverb says:

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month’s study of books.
