[8D]Hi Melbourne Cashflow gamers.

I own this game – a friend has it at the moment – but I have never played it.

I would be interested in playing with a group of like minded people.

Hwd007 – have you played yet? How can we set another one up. Would you be interested?

Hi,

Money saving ideas – hmmmm let me see. Difficult to really pinpoint – but will give you an overall picture of my experience.

A bit of background – I am 37, de facto, 3 small kids, work full-time, get paid well, husband at home with 2 of the 3 kids under school age.

Have very nice home and a few investment properties – positively geared -…[Read more]

Hi All,

This topic was an interesting read for me. I am trying to organise the best structure for the way forward and the book you mention sounds great.

Thank you,[]

Hi All,

Depends what you are looking for. I’m with Steve on this one. It’s about the numbers. You don’t go investing in Tasmania and look for capital growth – if it happens great – if not – so what – you are looking for positive cashflow properties – along with the research of vacancy rates and other due diligence questions when purchasing IPs -…[Read more]

Dave C, I’ve been to Dale’s website. Your recommendation is so strong. I can’t wait to meet with him.

Thank you again.

Hi Dave and all others,

Thanks for the tip to speak with Dale.

I’ll keep you posted as to whether he agrees with my accountant (for my situation) or whether he thinks I will benefit from setting up a Trust.

I have emailed him today and hopefully get to make an appointment soon.

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for your wonderful responses.

So far, you have confirmed what I was suspecting and feeling in my guts, I need to look for advice elsewhere.

As this is what I was planning to do, with your help I feel a lot more confident in continuing down this path.

Can’t wait ’til Tuesday.

p.s. “TheEnjoLady” – Thanks for the Trust…[Read more]

Hi Youngie,

If you are new at investing in property I would go for one with some sort of immediate return – ie., rent. It also depends on encumbered you are – I mean do you have other loans, can you make repayments if it doesn’t sell quickly?

If it is on or near a beach, and you can afford repayments buy it – otherwise I would think carefully.

Hi All,

I have dabbled in Tasmania this year having bought 4 properties in as many months – the last one was last week. I bought them site unseen.

I have now seen the first one I bought as I made a trip to The Apple Isle at settlement…to do a bit more hands-on research.

Prior to buying the first property, I researched and researched and…[Read more]

Hi All,

I’m new on the forum but not new at loving, eating, sleeping, breathing real estate.

I have crawled thus far, by stepping in, here and there to make purchases – but after the weekend’s fantastic fun I am now not planning to walk or run – but – to fly!!

Thanks Steve and Dave….and thanks to all your other inspirational speakers.

Good…[Read more]
