Hi Pepsi,

I’ve thought about this same topic alot too. The only way in my opinion is to sacrifice your time. i.e. look for deals before and after work, look for deals on weekends. That means you would need to perhaps give up some things for a short while till you can build up your positive cashflow portfolio.

I don’t think there’s an easy way…[Read more]

Hi Matt,

Good idea in regards to getting people around your own age as you can probably relate better. However it would be difficult to have a regular all rounded input from everyone due to inexperience of changing markets and therefore changing strategies.

Hi Simmi,

I don’t know how much 2 bedroom fibro homes cost around the Tweed Shire cause it would depend on the land size and the condition of the house.

There are alot of new units, townhouses and developments around that area mainly 3 bedroom.
A new 3 bedroom townhouse is renting between $280-$305 p.w. Most of them are in estates with pool,…[Read more]

Financial Planning Support Officer, work under 2 advisers for a Big 4 bank.

I chose speedy gonzalez because I’m actually quite petite and was quite a good runner at school in sports.

TheWizard because I’m part of another blog board which everyone is called “Keyboard Wizards”. “Wizard” was used hence “TheWizard”.

Does it cost anything ? Do we need to cover the cost of hiring out the place ?

Thanks.

I have a sponsor child too in Uganda. Also through Compassion. She’s 8 yrs old. I’ve had her for 2 years now.

It’s amazing how a little bit of money from the western world can make such a big difference to other people’s lives which we take for granted like bread and water.

One reason why I sponsored a child was to have a balanced attitude to…[Read more]

Then at 12pm server crashed. Damm…..…[Read more]

Most suburbs in Western Sydney are going up.

However what type of tennant do you want ? There are higher chances in attracting an unfavourable tenant in some places than others that could cause more damage to your property.

I am planning to buy in the next 12 months.Hoping to find some good deals as interest rates go up.Probably only buy 1 or 2 properties.

Also depends how much equity I have in my current property.
