Hi Quiggles

In answer to your question No I don’t think one needs to hold opinion – if people can’t see and hear two sides of a discussion including criticism and come up with their own point of view there is something seriously wrong.

The more facts one has they more likey you are to make a good decission. I believe more facts have been shown…[Read more]

Hi Steve

I think that is great if you are going to e-mail all concerned.

Next time I had better be the first to raise “a storm in a tea cup” if it gets a half hour conversation with el maestro!!

Hi Grossrealisation

Well as you say we can agree to differ and miss the point all together.

It is always easy to acuse of axe grinding or something simular when there is a strong difference of opion. the main reason this is said is to make it personal and therefore debase the argument. there is nothing personal here, there is no axe grinding. It…[Read more]

Ok Steve

Lets deal with a couple of facts here-

So the e-mail you now say is incorrect now 3 of you not ONE but you and Dave as well are there to help –
but you also say”our entire multi-million empire with 110+ properties, this website and various other business interests is run on a staff of…. three people (plus Dave and me).”
– so that will…[Read more]

Hi Elly

I was trying to reply to Steve’s reply when all your posts were moved to this Forum. I have replied back in the general section!!

I think Steve is wrong if he is now saying he is going to employ more “mentors” – but notice he has not actually said that in black and white, he has just given a scenerio. Also your e-mail about Brendon…[Read more]

Thank you for that Elly – I too was near to joining, – what a joke!

That mentor (Brendon) has been charged out at $100/pw to each hopeful person according to Steve McKnight’s accounts to us.
Wwell that is:(100 X 250) x 52 = 1,300,000pa say he is only handling the standard package that is 200 of us it is still $1,040,000pa.

Worst still say he…[Read more]

Having previously been involved with property investing/developing in Jersey C.I we always looked to + returns so it was with interest that I read so much about negative gearing over here – Yes I know your tax situation is very different to where I live/lived but if…[Read more]

Well I saw two blocks this morning in NSW country, one was yielding a miserable 12% and the second one potentially 15% plus!!! So I find it difficult to believe anyone who says their are no good deals anywhere.
