I am guessing that since yo mentioned your fathers estate that you may have comeinto an amount of money recently. Looking at you options at a time like this is fairly daunting. Someone told me once that if I ever won lotto to put all the money away for 6 months and jsut get used to haveing it befor any decisions are made. Makes sence to me.
I think that a financial advosor would be a good prot of call. Actually seeing that your first visit is usually free, got to ten different ones. Find tha one you like and that agrees with all the learning you have done from your own financial library, because believe me, there are those who know what they are talking about, and there are those that,,,,, well.
I have heard several peeople talking of Toowoomba recently. I get the feeling that +cf places there would not be in abundence but hey, as far as the realestate part of your portfolio goes, it may be jsut what you want. Good luck with it.
YOu mentioned shares, the only advice I can give you there is that shares, like realestate, when well chosen can be a great investment esp over time. Should you have a win early and decide to get out that is great, but if you are an investor you cant mistake yourself for a trader. They are two very different things. Investors usually buy for long term, traders buy because they have a system that is proven to make money over a number of trades. They get x amount of wins to losses, and the wins are X % of losses. If you want to trade then you need a system.
All the best in you r investing future.
