I beleive everything comes in cycles, and must educate myself on economics. I wasnt activly investing in the late 80’s but interest rates were around 17% !!!

hi – it’s a funny thing about chicken littles – most of them don’t invest in anything so I am always amazed why they are even interested in these things – is it just so they can say “i told you so” at the family bbq.

At least we will be selling it to all the emerging economies soon ie china,…[Read more]

hi anna, will have to disagree with the others on this occassion-but if you are worried if you have the right stuff to get through the job lift the old floor coverings in one room and punch all the nails and putty the holes – this is the worst put of the job so if you can get through that maybe give it a shot – best to try and learn these sorts…[Read more]

hi guys,

finance is the first step – then make sure it is a sound investment before you go ahead.

Hi dave,

try not to put the cart before the horse. if you are keen on building a large portfolio have a nice long meeting with a mortgage broker who you trust and talk about what your borrowing capacity is and discuss how you caspacity to borrow will change over time depending on the investments you make!
