I live in Keilor Downs, Melbourne, and I’d prefer to invest locally really. Somewhere like Caroline Springs (most delfin estates) or Point Cook way. Who can I start talking to?
I earn over 70k, my wife also works and we have one child. We live in a new home built 2 years ago and recently valued at over 400k. Our debt is around 260k, so surely we should have enough equity to get another house and rent it, but where and with whom?
I simply don’t have the time to look around too much or to do it myself – not now anyway.
My plans are to invest to a point where I can take a day off work or two and spend more time with my son and family.
That’s all I want! Is that too hard to ask?
Surely there must be a good property manager (real estate, whatever!) that can take us there.
I need someone who is licensed and registered to sit down with us, work out a financial plan, an investment projection over 10 years and give us the know-how on how to achieve our plans. We don’t want to be rich – not yet, but we do know what we want.
The only thing stopping me is the mistrust factor.
I don’t know who to trust or to believe.
It seems that all the scamsters and defrauders work on this side of town because they know they can con people in the West more easily than those in the East. Maybe people here are generally less educated or well-off, but we are not all stupid! LOL
There must be someone….Hi every1.
I am new to this list, so please forgive me if I seem rather crude with my following comments. Steve, I like the intro, but then again who wouldn’t? Isn’t the fact that like myself, people have joined this list because [a] they want to make money or , they are making money but want to know how to make more money smarter? Don’t get me wrong… I am not one for kicking sand into people’s eyes, but the intro seems too “typical” in terms of what other similar introductions to making wealth go. I guess what would be more “assuring” would be to have references and/or quotes to prove your claims. Now I know that sounds too easy to say or to criticise, but put it this way… I’ve read many books about investing and about making wealth… some are great and some are better off becoming movie scripts! Never the less, one book that has always stood out amongst the best of them and I think still does, is Dale Carnegie’s “How to make friends and influence people” (correct the title if I got it wrong). That is a TRUE investors book because the idea is not how to make MONEY, but how to win over the people that can HELP you make money and that is worth more than gold!
Keep up the good work
