true enough but eny interested folks would surely have been reminded that he is around.

Hard to say yet Bear. Get the Edge contains some of PPII and is generally shorter. But if I had to buy one only I would go for the Edge.

I saw him on TV last night. It seems getting today/tonight or someone to feature your business is a great way to go.

The other aspect to it here misty is that with each +CF property you buy your income rises and thus your ability to save a deposit. Eg you take two years to save a 10k deposit. You buy a +CF property that gives you an extra $50 p.w. (or $2500 p.a.) and therefore now only take 1 year and 4 months to save the next 10k. That gives you another…[Read more]

Redwing,
Steve outlined them in his book and here is what I can remember:
They are often used with retail property and entail the tenant paying a higher rental to accrue a deposit. After a given term they are given the option of buying the property at a pre-decided price. The owner then chips in the equivalent of the equity that the tenant has…[Read more]

Hi J,
I used personal power II and after using that bought ‘get the edge’ which Im currently using. It really is excellent material and is worth every dollar.

Hi all,

sorry for this but I do not know where to post this. Can anyone tell me that when they reply to a post, how they include the:

‘Originally posted’ part – I’ve been trying to figure that out for a while. Thanks guys.

What sort of fees do you think are reasonable RussH?

What does everyone think is a reasonable finders fee? Does it depend at all on the price of the place found?

Look, all sorts of deceitful people sell dreams (see the recent programme on at least 30 queensland companies using manipulative two tier real estate marketing). And the fact is many MLM companies sell excellent products. If people have already made their mind up about MLM I dont expect I’ll be able to change it, but I think it important that…[Read more]

Just as a further point, despite the fall in yields, 10% is still not that hard to find or create with a little paint and carpet.

Hi Rufus,
I’ve lived in Dunedin for the last six years as a student and had kept a keen eye on the market. Just when I left the market was taking off and yields had moved from around 9% to 7%. The student area (north dunedin) is the best bet in my belief. Aim for smaller flats eg 2,3 or 4 bedroom as opposed to the large 7 or 8 bedroom places.…[Read more]

Thanks everyone! This is great advice, I’m really pleased I posted this topic! Does anyone know if absolute rent values have receeded in the past in Queanbeyan?

Here is a similar one,
You have 9 identical appearing balls and a pair of balance scales. One of the balls is heavier than the others by a tiny fraction. You may use the balance scales twice only. How will you find the heavier ball?

Hi all,
Here is a riddle. If you have ten identical looking sacks of identical looking marbles, all of which contain marbles which weigh 1g each except one sack where the marbles weigh 1.1g each, and you have some electronic scales that you can use once only, how will you decide which sack has the heavier marbles? (this one is pure logic)

Clarity is the key in my belief. If you know exactly what you want, exactly when you want it, exactly why you want it and exactly what will happen if you dont get, and you know exactly what you are prepared to do and plan to do to get it, and you remind yourself of this everyday it will be hard to sit on your hands having trained yourself that…[Read more]
