    General consensus is that we meet somewhere central i.e. Adelaide in a coffee lounge, quiet bar, scout or similar hall, conference room or at someone’s house. My preference would be a Tuesday Night the first being 21st October 2003. This would give everyone a chance to slot it into their itinerary. Please, does any one know of a suitable place for about 15 to 20 people?
    Items for discussion include
    work out some aims & rules for the group, regularity of meetings & costs, agenda, committee, get to know each others specialties & preferences & experiences, mentoring or partnering, look at setting individual tasks & goals, getting special deals on Accountant, Legal, Broking, Valuing, property management, Quantity Surveying & financial planning fees & having Guest speakers on topics of interest to the group. Other possible advantages of the group could be starting a list of good prospective Investment Properties which you know about but are not in a position to buy at the moment but other members may find attractive. Also, set up a network of tradespeople for repairs of IP’s Plumbers, electricians, painters, carpet layers, curtain & blind sellers, hardware stores which will give good service and price to group members. I have left room for your ideas. We all need to be interactive in this, so we all need to contribute to get full benefit.

    Cheers, M.

    Hi all, I thought this would be a nice opportunity to introduce myself.

    It seems a lot of people here are a lot older and wiser than I am – I can truly be called a “babe in the woods” as of this time of writing. I am a total newbie to the real estate investment game but I am keen to learn as much as I can from everyone with experience.

    I have had a fair amount of exposure to the stock market, I have both done a fair bit of reading into it and can say I have a fairly sound understanding of its principles and psychology of the market (which I find facinating). However, due to circumstances, I deemed it an innappropriate investment area for me due to constraints such as a high level of uncertainty (the human mind is a fickle thing…more so when it is grouped together!).

    I came across real estate investment through a friend and saw it work for him, so I became interested in it and picked up Steve’s book and I am VERY happy I did as it shed light on how workable profiting from the market really is (coming from a family who had dabbled in investing in one or two ill fated properties didn’t help my initial poor perception of the property market as a wealth creation tool).

    I am relatively young compared to most of you guys, I am a mere 21 years old, but I am keen to get started on becoming financially independant as soon as practically possible. I finish my dual degree in Computer Science + Management (Operations Management) in less than 8 weeks and look to begin living in the “real world” [:D] early next year after a holiday overseas.

    Anyways, I’ve posted on a few forums on various topics which interest me, and so I know first hand that they are are an invaluable resource, and coupled with the fact that here, I am conversing with people in my very geographic location and you can multiply the usefulness of this tool by 100%.

    I look forward to learning from and with all of you.

    Kindest regards, M [:)]

    Thanks for that.
