We barely even get Sexpo these days. 😁

The expos are food for thought at the very least. It’s another avenue that might get those who are not quite “ofay” with property investing, something more to think about.

Your situation and what your plans are both now and in the future would really shape the decision to go interest only or principal and interest on your repayments. Do you have a strategy with your property investing? Each purchase needs to be fully evaluated for its use now and in the future.

Generally, going interest only is the best option for…[Read more]

I agree Pete. Well managed, debt is a very powerful tool and by getting further education in how to do it (property investing) to even further minimise the risk is smart. Some would say you can find enough information without having to purchase education programs, others perform better if someone actively teaches them. I am one of those.

Just taking a punt on this topic again.

What are people’s thoughts? I’d love to have the Property Investor Expo come to Adelaide again.

Hi Moggy,

Thanks for your post. It’s great to see all different opinions on different matters. What I don’t understand is if you don’t plan to buy property, why are you on a dedicated property investing website/forum. Interesting.

In regards to Helen at Real Wealth, I know the details regarding the consumer affairs issue. Your post assumes the…[Read more]

Hi Carla,

I am still working through it now. I joined back in 2013 but only a few months after I joined, I lost my job of 15 years. My choice, but it would have happened regardless. Since then I have not had the income to even contemplate more purchases. I am now self employed as a Mortgage Broker so i’ve been building my business for the last…[Read more]

That’s what I was already feeling. Cheers. Was just wondering if anyone had heard of or even used them?

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the response. Roma’s stats look good and stable. Are you saying its not a place to consider at all. All current and futures investors should forget Roma?

What are your suggestions for better places to invest and why?

Thanks.

Thanks Tom.

I just called RevenueSA and they have confirmed what you just said. You are still eligible for the FHOG if the Investment Property is bought post 1st July 2000 and is not lived in for more than 6 months.

You learn something new everyday.

Cheers.

As a recently redundant tradesman at Holden I absolutely don't agree with you in that the support money is a waste.

I do agree that our farmers need more support, absolutely. The two are very different sectors in our country's economy and need to be treated as such.

Manufacturing is extremely important as it is one of the four main contributors…[Read more]

Thanks Jamie.

I have noticed that and understand fully the need to be a "people person". That is most of what the job is.

The experience side of it is what I am looking forward to. Most, not all, but most jobs listed ask for experienced brokers or advisors so filtering through what employers actually want from a new employee will be fun if not…[Read more]

Cheers for your comments and suggestion everyone. I've had a look at all of the preferred providers now on the MFAA website and there are only two that offer face to face in Adelaide. The National Finance Institute and AAMC Training.

I am enrolled to do the Diploma of Financial Planning too and along with the Cert IV or Diploma of Finance and…[Read more]

Ah ok. I understand now. My meaning of what I said there was its "easy" because I like doing it. That's all. I know a lot goes into it for sure. 

Cheers for the comments mate.
