I know this may sound like a fob off … BUT! You will find an amazing amount of information on this topic using the search function located at the top of this page.
This is a popular topic and you will find many view points about it.
Welcome to the forum, two things; first I would not finance 100% with that much equity, you would be wasting it. Use the 170k for 20% deposits on more than one property of course this is best if the properties are +cashflow.
Work out what your goals are that will help you to determine your future strategy.
Second, Most of the points you asked about in your post are very common questions and more detailed answers can be found by using the search function located at the lop of this page. Check it out and if you can’t get the answer you are looking for then post for more info.
It is actually free, but not available online. There is a page on their site that tells you what you need to send them and where tosend it. It aslo takes about 10 days.
Well worth knowing what is on your report before going to any lender.
I was just idly wondering though whether there reachs a point where the publicity becomes counter-productive.
Yeah I agree, not saying that is what Steve has done or is doing but there is indeed a noticeable change in the market for investment properties. You can’t buy a good properties if you sneeze, you miss it. I noticed this first after the Masters Seminar and even more so since the book launch. Coincidence maybe[?]

Another thing I’ve noticed recently is that the emphasis of posts on the forum seems to have changed. When I first started reading (late last year), there seemed to be a much higher number of “wrap related” posts. Now the topics are predominantly on buy & holds.
I have also noticed that the wrap forum is very slow, but it seems to go in swings and round-a-bouts. The other change I have noticed is more posts that worry about what other people are doing.
So overall I wouldn’t say Steve is overexposing himeself ([xx(] oooh I shudder[]) but it certainly does have an effect on the market. Is that good or bad, I think it is just part of the economic/enviromental factors.
It really depends on what you are looking for, if it someone to tell you what you should be doing, my experience has shown that job is mine. Always know as much or more about your strategy than anyone else. And have the professionals for the detail stuff.
If it’s for good financial advice try this one.
Dale GG is an Accountant that is very good, they are in Kilsyth and worth travelling the reasonably short trip to see them.
Interesting thread, it was because of the reno kings on today tonight back in January that brought me to this site. So it is no wonder that newbies are arriving daily to the forum, and there will be more!
It was staggering how many people appeared after the book, I was surprised.
The only thing I will hate is answering all the same old questions[xx(] (not that there’s anything wrong with that[] … BUT)so for that alone I would say “STEVE, STOP WHAT YOUR DOING, TURN THE CAMERA OFF”.[] But then we wouldn’t get to see our forum friends on TV.
Seriously I think good luck to him, and good luck to us for stepping up to the plate and being apart of it.
That was the other thing I ment to write, when you click on someones name to see there profile that name turns purple to indicate to you that you have accessed that link, it works in the same manner as the threads.
The number of stars and the colour of stars does co-ordinate and they are based on number of posts made and have nothing to do with purchasing property or product.
Newbie = post 1-10 NO Star
One BLUE Star = post 10 to 49
Two Golden Stars = post 50 to 110
Three Silver Stars = post 110 to 499
Four VERY GOLD Stars = 500+ (Terry is the only non moderator with 500+)
“Administrator” or “Moderator” are always red no matter how many posts and they are determined by Steve, Dave and Brentasorous.
Hope this clarifies the issue. I would like Brent to advise if this is incorrect.
Cheers

PS: Well done junior on the new star and thanks for your great contributions
Try doing a search using the function at the top of this page and search on 11 sec sol, 11 sec rule, 11 second rule etc. You will find an avalanche of information about it. It is a great feature.
It must be my night to rag on you BUT, where on earth did you get the idea that stars are related to purchases. And just out of interest have you purchased anything?
This forum is more than just a place to post discussions, many of us have developed good friendships and attended the ($1500 2 4 1) Masters Seminar as well as the recent WRAPS seminar also at $1000 so don’t ass u me that everyone here is full of cow patties, we are here to support each other and enjoy the forum.
Just out of interest I was one of those few Del mentioned that chose not to put in an application at the last minute, because I felt that what I had gotten from the seminar was well and truely worth my time and money. I still think so.
There are soooo many newbies to this forum lately that you don’t know what activities have been going on here so I suggest that you read through some of the posts about the Masters, APIM and Millionaire program to really get a feel for what goes on here.
Good luck tp Wilandel, Tas Investor, Betty Blockbuster, Pete and everyone else involved in the maps program.
