Consider this course: http://www.resultsmentoring.com/

I’m 1/3rd way through it. I paid $6,000 and consider it well worth the money so far. The main advantage (apart from great home study course/DVD study material is that you can ring your coach (active and experienced property investor) any time (9-5) and discuss the deals you find at whatever…[Read more]

I got minus 50. Is that good?

(Dang. I know its not!)

Thanks for all the posts. Yes I mean every day budget (not developing/reno)

I like the iPhone app idea but I don’t own an iPhone (resisting the expense).

Looks like it’ll be spreadsheet then. Please email any templates to chiz AATT factplanet.com (and I’ll stick them on my server for anyone to download – assuming they’re not huge)

Cheers

Budget is a very important class they should place in the school economic system.

100% agree.

They teach kids at school how to fill in a credit card application but not the fact that all they’re doing is spending their own money that they are yet to earn (sounds obvious but they need to be taught this)

What? No one has a budget? LOL?

Someone, anyone?

Quicken? MS Money? Spreadsheet? other?

Thanks

Thanks for all your hard work Sue !

Good on ya!

My thoughts:

It was my first time there and overall I thought it was awesome.

Highlights and nugget gleamed:

* Set a life mission statement (tick, now done)
* Li wrapping up his speech talking about a scenario where we’re marking our own life score card on our death bed. How bitter a pill it will be if on our death bed we look at our lifes…[Read more]

No haven’t received them. I thought (but may be wrong) that you collect them on registration at the conference centre.

Woo hooo…

its coming, its on its way

You may find someone willing to lend 90% (but I’m only guessing here) because an army salary is one of the steadiest incomes there is. I’ve never heard of compulsory redundancies in the armed forces.

The reason to be wary of investing in hotel complex rooms is….

Don’t look at answer yet…

J900,

I sold a spare one last Friday. PI are not doing name transfers during May (only prior to May) so sorry, you may be out of luck even if you can find someone who is selling them. Your only option now is to buy one at full price

If you go to the web site it says there are only 7 tickets left…[Read more]

Luke,

Read Steve McKnights book “0 to 130 properties in 3.5 years”(get the updated one from 2009). It’s a FANTASTIC overview of all then various investment strategies.

Then go to all free seminars you can and learn how they use them to sell you off the plan houses. Don’t buy anything because they are usually in areas that won’t perform too well…[Read more]

This is the only thing I’ve seen: https://www.propertyinvesting.com/seminars/2010-conference

Is there more information on when each workshop is (and on which day?). I emailed the P.I. office on Friday but got no reply.

The impression I’ve got is that there are multiple rooms with different speakers and we have to decide what to go and listen to.

Is that the impression others have got?

If “yes”, have they told us that workshops are on at which time yet?

Another smart 20 year old something. Good on you Jared. I wish someone had given me a slap when I was 20 and said “concentrate on this idea for the next 20 minutes”. I’d have been worth 10 million by now.

So good for you – keep focused on it. Learn as much as you can and you’ll go far!

Reported to admins…<edit: thanks Chiz, offending post from above has now been removed (moderator )>

If it was my daughter I’d go the trust route.

You obviously want your daughter to “keep” your gift whatever happens. Sadly, without a trust there is a way she could lose part of it.

Examples:
1) She gets sued (maybe by a tenant); or
2) She gets married and then a few years later gets divorced.

Again, sadly the second scenario is not uncommon…[Read more]

Live in and renovate!

Yes a good way to save and increase capital – just as long as you’re a handyman AND both of you are prepared for the stress of living in a dusty mess for a year (?)

Hi Warren,

If you’re even part way through Uni I’d suggest keep going – no question about it.

One advantage of being a student (over us full time employees) is that you have a few more hours spare per week. You don’t have the income but if you can find property that is ripe for reno / developing and then partner with someone who has the…[Read more]
