Thanks guys, I’ve found this a very interesting topic. But what about first timers, do you think it’s better to rent and gather IP’s, or buy your first home (PPOR) and then gather IP’s?

I haven’t had much of a look but have a go and see if you can find anything interesting. Hope this helps- G7

Ha ha, loved it. It reminds me of the many times I’ve been rushing to work at 100 miles per hour down the freeway because I’m late and I realised I’ve left the car at home.

Hey Foston, I also noticed those flashy cars, did you also see the huge DVD collection aswell?

Ignorance and stupidity is no excuse for financial hardship anymore, it’s the 21st century.

Stay up all night drinking and dont sleep. Just have a quick nap the next afternoon if needed and a normal nights sleep the next night. You can never wake up to a hangover if you’ve never been to sleep! [sleepyanim]=[sick3]

The Sunroof? [confused2]

Or, maybe it was a convertible?

Most definately, After you’ve got it and played it, you’ll be amazed at the knowledge you pick up for only a few hundred bucks!

Why dont you rent for 6 months and see where the market goes? You sound like you’ve got lots of money to invest, why dont you sit on it and wait and see what happens?
Rents are low, gives you time to think, and a $300k house could be snapped up for $250 by the time your lease expires?

Hope this helps G7 [eh]

I rented for $35.70 per fortnight in Mosman, NSW.

I never use layby, if I want it I buy it right then and there on the plastic fantastic.
However, I wouldn’t pay for something that would not be easy to pay off quickly, I’m very bad debt-adverse. I always sleep on my big purchases and think them thru, but I dont think it matters what method you use, so long as you dont dig yourself a financial…[Read more]

Hey everyone,
It’s nearly been a week smoke free and I feel a hell of a lot richer, thanks for all your replies, it’s a great support, not only for me but probably others aswell.
It’s obviously not easy and it’s not over yet, but to all those thinking of quitting, keep persisting because it’s well worth it. I’ll keep you informed and you do the…[Read more]

Hey I heard off a paramedic that thickshakes from McDonalds are in fact whipped chicken fat.
This happened because he responded to a young boy who had collapsed after having one. With all food poisoning cases the ambo must take a sample of the food they ate for testing.
He found out that it was made from the chicken fat and that the young boy was…[Read more]

Hi guys,
Thanks for your support and encouragement, today is going good, I usually fall over at about day 3 or 4. I have quit before and know how good it feels, especially in the wallet region!

I’m really determined to do it this time, my mum went blind at 45, and we only found out a few years ago that smoking significantly brings forth this…[Read more]

Ken,
John Burley and Kiyosaki are great teachers and have a lot of good advice. They both promote financial intelligence. Read some more and you’ll start to figure out what is best for you.

Although the more you read the more conflicting information you get. But it has made these guys and others rich, so there is not only just ‘one way’.

The…[Read more]

If a house for sale at $100 000 rents for $180 per week say, what’s telling you the owner won’t accept $85 000 and you can re-rent it at $190 per week after you bought it.

This is a quick spin and rough example on making it cashflow positive. Remember they’re not always staring you in the face, but you can try to turn deals to your…[Read more]

Yack,
It’s not the course, it’s how it’s being marketed. ie- get rich quick theme, unrealistic etc. They left the marketing to a third party, who has used the persons signature and photo on the material. The person was trusted to do a good job but obviously hasn’t, thus the publicity.

Hi fullout,
This post may be a little late, but Dolf’s 10-pack CD program ‘Property Investor’s School’ is pretty good. It’s based on a weekend seminar held in NZ and covers quite a lot, from becoming rich to commercial contracts etc.

He’s certainly got the bigger picture and I’ve found these CD’s very worthwhile. I give them a 9/10. Hope this helps,
