Thanks Terry!I'll do that 

Hi hangingupsidedown,How did you go with your plan?I found your case really interesting because my partner and I are making up our minds on how to maximise all the existing options as I can see you guys want to do (leverage). In our case we're a gay couple, we're migrants, so we're not getting married anyway, which could be an advantage maybe…[Read more]

Hi Steve,I'm looking forward to reading the result of your approach to the US market, I was there several times in 2008 and there were VERY good deals, I lived some close to Miami, but I wasn't even thinking in becoming an investor. I haven't made my research about how things have changed since then. It's inspiring to hear about someone who r…[Read more]

Hu Shaun,I find this website very helpful to understand the basics of Home Loans http://www.propertyloansonline.com.au Have a look CheersAlex

Thanks again Paul !!!It's really good to hear different stories to get more knowledge. I would like to combine passive and active strategies, because the "sit and wait" as the only strategy it doesn't sound exciting at all, it has its benefits though. I would like to hold properties but in between do renovations for example. Me and my partner a…[Read more]

Paul,

Your experience has been AMAZING ! It’s fantastic to read things like these, I am more confident everyday that it is possible. How long did it take you to reach the 10th property?

Cheers

Oh really? lol sorry, I just read Financial Broker, I thought it was different.Thanks Terry

Thanks Richard,Do you know any mortgage broker who I can ask this question? Possible lenders, etc

Thanks Richard! Here's my doubt:What is the process to buy a property for non-permanent residents living in Australia? , regardless if it's for investment purposes or not. I read the FIRB website, I saw the elegibility criteria, and the application forms but still I don't have the steps clear. Do I borrow money from them ? Do they give me an…[Read more]

Hi Richard,

One more time, thanks very much !

By the way, do you know a mortgage broker who I can ask a question? I just wanna know if it’s possible to borrow money with the temporary resident visa I have. The process is not very clear for me in the FIRB website.

Cheers

Hello Admin,Any hope of those events happening here in Adelaide? Are you going to advertise them here? I am pretty interested.CheersAlex

Hi vonny,There's a free 2-day work shop on the 16-17th October in Perth offered by Positive Real Estate. You may want to go and have a look. I'll do the same.CheersAlex

Oh Ryan !It's a shame to hear (read) that ! The good thing is that you haven't stopped at all.I can tell now that appart from the seminar last night, few days ago we booked tickets to fly to a bootcamp !  And I didn't push it at all, I think my partner is still in the phase of being "curious" and he wants to find out "what else" is out there. So,…[Read more]

Thanks Ryan !

So you understand me PRETTY WELL ! I agree with you, having one partner’s support can help to many great things !

We went together , for the 1st time, to a seminar, and he got more interested now ! He’ll even read Rich Dad Poor Dad ! That’s good !

So I think things will be much much better in short time.

Cheers

Alex

Hello guys !Sorry I am new in the Real Estate World, what do these words mean?:PPOR = Place of Permanent Residency ?O&A = ?NCPP = ?LOC = ?IO = ?CheersAlex

Thanks JacM and duckster,Definitely, after having our goals very clear we will have to make a plan considering different options (e.g. Super) and follow it, or improve it if neccesary, and so reaching the financial freedom in 10 years time or sooner !Thanks guysCheersAlex

Hello Shaun, Hos is it going? Are you more into the Real Estate world?In my case, I started by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and that's where I got my interest in Real Estate from. I recently starte to buy the magazines Australian Property Investor and Your Investment Property. I have also attended to some free seminars about…[Read more]

Hi Jess,Thanks for sharing your personal experience with me. It gives me more ideas now, we are certainly very different, that's why we are together by the way, we could do a lot with his skills for negotiation and persuading people, he's brilliant for that. I'm not as good as he is, but instead I am the kind of reading the magazines, reading the…[Read more]

That's exactly right JacM ! We can't rely on Super, especially us that we became members this year , and I'm 29 and he's 28, we have much less savings there than a local of our same age who had worked since the age of 20.Let's see how it goes this week, I reckon it will be much better. I know there's a little bit of interest, I just need to…[Read more]

You're a super star !Thanks for that Daniel
