Mate that real estate , I made the choice I do it but that's  why I left real estate 

I'm more happier doing what I'm doing know, get paid more for less work and alloy of oppurtunity

On real estate you will get calls at any time of the day, yes some time I would actually get calls from people who worked at night

Thats the nature of the nature of the bussiness

Hi possum pal, 
I am 28 and I was a sales consultant at a  doing real estate  at the age of 24 to 27.
First  year was hard.
I moved on from real estate for two reasons
1) in order to be successful you need to operate 24/7
2) there are plenty of other ways to make a decent living

Mid life crisis? Nope,  your just finding your feet that's…

Property management fees are tax deductible where your time isn't.
I would rather pay some one x amount of dollars and spend my time focusing on other things

I worked as a real estate agent and still had a property manager looking after my properties
Spend your time on making money rather then chasing money 

39 your still young, there are people who do no nothing in their whole life, so starting now is not a bad idea at all.

I have to agree with xdrew on all points,
In terms of inflation going down cant see that happening
australia has become a expensive place to do business 
i work in shipping an it's cheaper for me to move one pallet from china to Melbourne then Melbourne to NSW

Rich area vs Poor Area!!
The last three investment properties I bought have been in areas where "most"  people wouldn't want to live…
But the returns in such a small amount of time have been really good.

Try and keep a open mind when investing, You can have a bad Tennant in "high income areas too"
 

Customer service is dying in all industries,
Why?  Most  people just want the cheapest  of everything

People have no class or respect  for them selves 

Hi Joe,
I used to work as a real estate and one thing that helped me grow my business was after service.
Is it illegal for the agent not wanting to work with your friend? Not all, Only if it is based on race, “etc” like Terry suggested.

The question is this, has there ever been real bank loyalty? For me personally, I use different banks for different reasons.But i agree with Derek and xdrew, speak with a broker and see where you stand….Also with certain banks they may just have certain credit polices they need to follow i guess.Cheers good luckand you will be in your feet agian

Only time will tell and speculation is the mother off all "F" ups.When bad news is presented there are two different reactions one positive and the other negative. Who is right or wrong is based on  every ones personal circumstance. Mining at the moment is in Limbo, Unions are demanding more money, more taxes and there are allot of mines who are…[Read more]
