We are now working on private funds, that depending on how we use it, should see us buy an extra 50 houses at least……

You may know the cost of everything…. but what about the value ????

Joseph,

Many of us here, have started our journeys “alone” and found kindred spirits…[Read more]

Some very interesting discussion here….

1) If you are highly leveraged, YES, definitely nowadays you should try to minimise your exposure if possible…

2) Oil Prices….. – How much has the relative cost changed I wonder…. I mean, the US$ price has gone UP, BUT, the US Currency has devalued substantially against many currencies…. so.…[Read more]
