Hehe, nah mate, I don’t have any sore points. My money to invest in property came from working my back side off during my apprenticeship. I actually bought my first property while I was an apprentice and worked weekends renovating that property. I bought it before the last “boom”. Yes I did have to be tight, but money isn’t everything to me, I enjoy life without too much of it.

Agree though, being a tight arse is no good and not taking for granted the fact that you are young and healthy NOW and not later is important. Thanks for your reply.

Hey all,

Gogo- must reply to that first!!

What?! I appreciate your personal opinion, thanks for voicing it. You say people have nothing to show for being married and divorced EXCEPT kids?? Do kids and family mean nothing?? How awful, do they not have close friends? Morals and values seem to be going so far backwards, so rapidly.

I think most of the young people in here would disagree with you to the most on your post. What does it mean to “live life”. Jump off buildings? drive fast cars? what? travel? I am 23, have completed am a qualified electrician, qualified data technician, have owned a max of three properties at one time, run a business(see below), have been engaged and broke up, have almost been killed when a truck cleaned up 3 cars, have been sick, happy, laughed until I cried, been happy, cried, sad, loved, hurt, trusted, smiled, had so much adrenalin pumping through my vains that I feel like i could run forever, spewed my gutsout through alcohol, seen people die, been to numerous funerals, had girlfriends, been accepted, been rejected, been best man at weddings, attended weddings, gone off at parties. I go out often, I don’t have to drink to have a good time, in fact people think I am “pilling” when I am out because all I do is drink water and dance and be silly, I owned a 5th generation honda prelude when I was 19 for two years, drove it like an idiot, blew up the gearbox, owned a nissan, blew up the engine, have famaily and friends all over the world who are the most important thing to me, believe in what goes around comes around- need I go on……..well done to anyone who read all that.

I never really bring this up in conversation at all, but my master(martial arts) spoke with me the other night above “living life”. He makes us live life every single training session and more. I one session he will take out mind and body to the extreme, try and break us, then to the other extreme, where nothing exists in your head at all, no body. Hurt others, hurt yourself, push until you can almost go no more, calm until you can be no calmer and everything in between- he will make us laugh, philosphise, think, debate, discuss, show compassion, love, care, kindness……all in two hours.

Sorry to talk of myself there, it is not a good thing to do, but hopefully it explains my outlook on the topic a little beter.

Maybe when you get the time you could study “LIVE LIFE FIRST I THINK” policy and expand to us what that really means?? I am living my life and I am loving it. I love the people in it, I love the bad bad days, the good days and have no regrets. Sure, it gets very hard sometimes and I don’t feel like pushing on, but I believe almost every person in this thread has the character, motivation and discipline to push through the hard times to strive towards their goal. All the time “Living life”.

Sorry if this has dragged everyone, but I couldn’t let that post go untouched, could talk forever about “Life”.

My brief story. Purchased PPOR just after I turned 20, then bought another investment, then a 2nd investment when I was 22. Thats 3 properties at 22, sold two, now living in a 3 bedroom house where I base my business from. SOld properties to get the business going, should be running well enough soon that I can get back into renovating houses- thats my second “business”, renovating property. Basically my current position is my ppor and my business(see signature) and hopefully within 12 months go full timeback into renovating again too!

It is awesome to see you all posting here, please keep the thread going!!!

Maybe we could organise a convention once every 6 months or something? Just get together, meet, greet, have fun, live life(sorry sarcasm-lowest form of wit), talk investing and business. It is sometimes harder to be young and sucessfull because it is often easier to be succesful when you surround yourself with sucessful people- any sucess doesn’t mean money!

I believe you are all sucessful for jumping on here and giving this a good hard crack. You will get cold feet, but lets support each other and mutual benefit will come to you all.

All the best to you all…..

Happiness Lies within:
The very purpose of life is happiness: in order to acheive happier days, happier weeks, happier years, happier family, happier human community…we should pay more attention to inner development.

Thats the biggest post I have made yet, good on you if you read it all. hehe. Bit off topic, but quite relevant.

Please post if you have any ideas on how we could all keep in touch- maybe lets just keep this thread moving along…..??

Talk soon.

Hehe, sorry bit off topic, but Phil(resiwealth), I was pretty much the same, bought my first place when I was an electrical apprentice, had just turned twenty. good one. And you are now a property developer, well done on securing your news subdivision! I’m 23 now, I have started my own business- below, and am still renovating too! Love it.

Dammit!- into it! As Phil said work hard and knowledge is power – is my input. Maybe you should consider long term, well at least until the next good cycle in the market. You are young in age, therefore if you are well postioned for the next couple increases in property value where you are, thats great $$$ for you. Be patient my friend, the good things will come.

All the best

Jarrod.

Just briefly, the inner city apartment issue also has to do with the floorspace in metres squared. Some banks won’t even touch at all units under 50 square metres of floor, some differ with their policy on floor space of course. And if they do, you may be able to buy it, but none of that value or equity can be used as that will not use it, or see it as security.

Hope this helps…..

Yes, it’s really worth it- it doesn’t cost too much and it doesn’t take too much maintenance.

It makes it easy to distribute funds as required quite easily too.

Same everyone!

I am in Brisbane, even if there was a combination or meet half way, goldy one time, Brisbane the next? The more knowledge the better!

Good networking opportunity, but you have to weed out the “sharks” from the genuine “here to help”.

I would really enjoy having people around me with a common goal/interest and hopefully success.

Willing to help or try to get something organised if there are enough people interested. Even all throw in some money and have decent gatherings, presentations and possibly guests?

Or…..we can just meet up over a snack and a cofee- hehe, sounds easier.

Yasmina,

Try out all the above that the gents mentioned, also try Terri Scheer- brokers. It will only be a couple hundred dollars dependent on your situation- once again, nothing to stress about!

Yasmina!

Head up! You have done the right thing, the property sounds good. It’s all positive.

Hey- some guys really like to keep their places looking nice a tidy.

You will keep it for a while, and possibly get cold feet again for any reason. It’s all a test for you. No drama’s it will all pan out- what about when property proces go back up again! You will be patting yourself on the back saying “imagine if I hadn’t bought that place!”

All the best.
