Mortgage advisor why did you repeat what I already said in my last post regarding how easy it is to control this much R/E?.
As far as get of your ass and do it…well all I can say is…..this is not a relevant comment.
Someone said about deposits being $500 etc, yes it true of course you can do this but it is a dangerous game, having so much…[Read more]

Stop worrying about making money??….are you nuts?, I didn`t see the show but I have been a critic of the idea earlier……and all I can say is “Show me the money”.
I`ve known about stories on this show which are totally fabricated, so I give the show no merit whatsoever.
What did these people apparently achieve, a CF+ position, equity what?.

You will definately find a house like that around 15 ks ormore from Bris CBD, no problems, try Jindalee, Riverhills,Westlake,Jamboree Heights, forget Ipswich. Kenmore is good too but maybe a little more pricey.
Mtommaney is good value and for some reason has very large blocks of land, Bellbowrie is also great. Take your pick you`ll have no problems.[strum]

I don`t give any credability to the jealousy rap, this is nonsense, you got a question, you ask it.
I DO NOT want to know SIS secrets, and don`t believe he should feel the least bit compelled to give them either, all I wanted to clarify was the fact that he did not start from 0 and make this money in 12 months, he explained that he saved for a…[Read more]

Kay, LO DOC loans are an easy way, if you have the equity they`ll throw money at you at a slightly higher rate!.

Lifeexp yes in a perfect world, but the big intangable is “time”, you can control money but you can`t control time.
There is risk in all things, and to keep it to a minimum of course is EVERYONES aim, but what one investor calls risk, another may call opportunity.[buz2]

I wholeheartedly agree with Richmond, a healthy scepticism is essential imo, if you are to become truly financially independant.
It could be said that sceptics are negative, but to me it is exercising your mind and your right to use it, if you believe everything you read you will be stoney cold broke in no time!.
I envy SIS having that sort of…[Read more]

Good stuff tycoon!.[cap]

Very well done! at such a young age but certainly there must be external circumstances which helped SIS accumulate this type of equity in such a short period of time.
It would not be easily done to do this with no help at such a young age, if in fact you started with no money.

What people say they are worth and what they would actually be…[Read more]

I`m interested in this topic cause it`s something I`ve given a lot of thought to and I did at one time tend to agree with this point of view.
But of course everyone can`t own 130 houses, at some point supply and demand comes into effect, after all if there is an oversupply of rental properties the tenants will get the last laugh.
But I also…[Read more]

Valuation is very dicey, it`s what someone will pay that`s the true worth, may be more, may be less.
If you were to make this $20k instant equity and sold you`d make next to nothing, you may as well get a job in R/E the pay would be better!.
If you were to accumulate R/E this way then be forced to sell, through lack of tenants, lost job, or many…[Read more]

Napoleon Hill makes interesting reading but the question remains ‘How many people are actually able to make themselves do the exercises ?

If some people succeed it is because of a process over a long time.

If Tom Hafey said it, it`s probably worth listening to!.
But seriously, Napoleon Hill among others.

It comes down to your own motivation for what you do….simple, but people CAN change.
This is difficult but not complicated imo.
As far as all people avoiding pain it is a false perception imo.

In fact, it is often said the measure in your acheivment is said to directly commesurate with your ability to walk through pain, or to endure hardship to…[Read more]

Bill you said “All our actions are to either, make us feel better or to avoid pain”.
Maybe you could add to that “or to make others feel better or avoid pain.
It could also be said that “perception is worthless, reality is priceless”.[^]

Right on FW [^] and it`s a proverb/saying which deserves a great deal of thought.[^]

OK Pisces I bite again, but only in the very slim hope I can leave this forum on a positive note, if my post were out of line I apologise to Steve and the other forum people.
Who bought up Christianity?.
Who repeatedly made claims about what I said which were clearly false.
You are answering your own questions now thanks for that.

You said this Pisces.
[Even a person like Kay who is a self professed atheist
appears to adhere to this kind of outlook.
I just don’t understand.

I was not responsible for the vendor being in financial strife. I am merely making an offer. I don’t see this as taking advantage of someone else.

OK guys lets not get too carried away.
Marc1, basicly your attempt at providing some wisdom came from the right place I would say but for a start who is “misdirected”?[?].
Secondly I am far from poor, I`m semi retired, the reason I never mention it because it makes NO difference to me regarding arguments of this type, you seem to be using riches…[Read more]
