buy installment warrants of shares that are going ex-div., collect the dividend and then sell, moving onto the next trade.Has worked extremely well in my super fund, better than any rental income, managed fund etc.

my husband is an A grade electrician, but actually has an appliance repair business.
We get an electrician to do our new wiring safety switches etc and he gets it checked by the appropriate person in order to get a certificate(cost $100 extra).
My husband hasn’t the time to do the wiring and doesn’t do this sort of work regularly, so he leaves it…[Read more]

why even have the furniture, can’t you just throw it out?
Add furniture and they break down or become faulty, you are up for replacement or liability.

Agree totally with Richard’s comments.
no such thing as get rich quick, been there, it doesn’t work.
Trading: I’ve tried numerous things, for the amount of energy, effort, time and stress spent you get exactly nowhere.
It doesn’t matter what assorted software sellers, books etc tell you.
The ASX website is an excellent source of knowledge.
If I…[Read more]

On saturday I signed a sales contract for my hotel unit at Magnetic island, capital loss 90,000, yearly losses over 6 years: 12,000.
I paid 105,000 originally.
You are talking about investing about 600,000?
I would suggest you are heading for financial disaster.
If you have and must spend that money go for something free standing by the coast.
We…[Read more]

To me, those properties looked mostly “dumps”.
Is the population stable?
Are these places rentable, what is the infrastructure.
I wouldn’t be buying just for the sake of it.

from personal experience its a slow process and has only started to happen to me this year.
I’ve worked and stressed 15 years, going from 6 different job locations to only two.
Made some very significant investment errors but one lucky break and we are now on the way.
I work two full days, can take my son to and from the bus stop, help with his…[Read more]

Rentals, people still seem to prefer houses.
Body corp fees, can take away up to 3 months rental.
Land value, minimal with units/apartments.
Resale: much bigger audience with house and land, as this tends to be prefered by families and “mums and dads”.

Keep away from HK, good on you Neil Jenman.

I am not sure its that expensive, I think it might be less.
Its fully tax deductible, he’s an accountant and financial adviser, I paid thru my superfund.
I would say worth every cent.
He starts from the basics, setting up a structure, assett protection, how to select property, setting up a SM superfund and the last bit is off shore towards…[Read more]

Please consider Ed Burton At vitallink, ph 0237 7682, http://www.vital-link.com.au,
he is holding a seminar in Melb 29th to 30th Nov.
I went to his previous seminar and found him very very good, he covers all aspects, such as assett protection, how to source properties, superfunds.
He doesn’t do wraps like steve, but the best value around, along the…[Read more]

Yes do you really want to know about my sorry saga with other fellow investors of an 8 million loss in serviced hotel units at magnetic Island, be very careful and get a commercial solicitor to advise and read previous postings.

Crashy, your name appears on the sharefinder forum as well. I presume you are trading the osprey system, my sister Angelika is very actively trading and generating significant cash flow.
I will be planning to join in next week, when my CFD account has opened.
How did you go with your job interview, any good?
I also have thought of buying some…[Read more]

Don’t rely on agents to go on a fact finding mission for you.
Agree totally with above,if the area is no good, walk away, there will be plenty of other deals, maybe thats why the house is so cheap.

Thats right, ususally very little outlay by yourself.
the product, if there is one, tends to be quite nebulous and promises huge things with really no evidence or scientific support.

Hi Aaron, I’ve worked it out!
at least my computer whizz son did.
Click on profile, click on submit and then you can change your field.
well, regina is now Reggie and remains a silver member.

Oh dear, here it goes I am 47.
Wish i started at 25, but didn’t even know what an invest property was, let alone PPOR, too busy enjoying life, travel and spending money.
Big panic and catch up mode at age 40 and many mistakes, but on track now, best of luck!

Hi Westan, only working part-time since Feb.
Finish work by lunch, get home, do my book-keeping, check emails, read and write to the forum, watch dr Phil on TV, I think he’s great.
Pick up my son from school bus at 4.15.
My next move is to start into share investment and short term trading, go slow on properties, start some debt reduction.

I also seem to be one of a few with real name, but thats because I haven’t worked out how to change it to an alias.
I suppose if you cop flack for saying something, at least its under an alias.
