Good on you Adam & Beck,

Go get em!

Hi Pin,

I totally agree with you!!

Sounds like due diligence, rather than being negative to me.

“Negative” to me, is putting people down, or saying “it can’t be done”, and not listening openly to others trying to explain that it can.

Due diligence is very important. I’d definately like everyone to explain to me, or newish investors the…[Read more]

Perhaps, so that it will be the last thing that we remember from your book…

Like a warning, that this sort of thing does happen often and might happen unless we are VERY careful buying properties with existing tenants, and also making sure that we do our due diligence on new tenants also.

I think everyone will probably come across one tenant…[Read more]

We have 2 cats, called Sooty & Tiger.

Just lately, the last week or two, everyday when I go out the back door, I just about stand on bits of dead birds – GROSE []. (It’s Sooty – the female I think, cos Tiger is too slow). They are bringing them right to the back door to show us. YUCK!!!!!!

They are neutered, and sleep on our dog’s hammock…[Read more]

Anytime Newkid,

BTW – I’m not sure where you’re your from, but I have used Stuart @ http://www.prosolution.com – He is based in Melbourne.

He has helped us out of a jam or two with finance, and got us on track.

PS _ I get nothing or I am not assoc. to Prosolution in any way though – Simply credit where credit is due.

Bye,

Smaointe,

Another thing you can benefit from is by reading more. Start going to the library again – (feels like being a school kid again) [] but it saves heaps of money.

Try reading some more property investment books by authors like Robert Kiyosaki – Rich Dad, Poor Dad etc..

“Education” is gaining a competitive edge over many “average”…[Read more]

Hey New Kid,

There are a few VERY good mortgage brokers that assist people on this site. If you flick through a few posts, I’m sure you will find them. Stuart, Terry & Melanie & others, all know their stuff. I would recommend them over other brokers as they understand what you are trying to achieve.

My opinion for what it’s worth, brokers ARE…[Read more]

Hi Smaointe,

Welcome to the crew!

Steve’s book is a great starting point to your investing career. It is full of common sense ideas, but it hits you like a brick – (so logical). He makes success seem so easy, well it can be. I believe success starts from your attitude. If you “believe” – then it will happen. (You also have to put in a LOT of…[Read more]

Hi Bear & all,

What a great post!

For now on, how about we all, (including me) make a real effort to only post about things that will REALLY benefit someone, and when we do, that we speak to each other in a courteous manner, whether we agree with their opinion or not.[]

There are nice ways of pointing out differing opinions, and then there are…[Read more]

Welcome Potsie,

I’m not a Mortgage Broker, but I think that many of them are feeling lots of stress from being overworked, frustration, anger, and even suffering from sleepless nights (well that’s the ones that care).

The bank’s seem to be impossible to deal with lately, with loans taking MUCH LONGER to be approved & settle.

They are “beating…[Read more]

“OLD TIMERS”!!!![][]

Well, I don’t know about that, but I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN !! ha.ha… Thanks for saying that.

Give it time, the forum will settle down soon, when the novelty wears off, and we can all have our great chats again.

Catchu soon,[]

Hey Richo,

You’re right.

FHOG wasn’t around when I struggled to buy my first home.

It REALLY makes me angry that millions of OUR dollars are being wasted, when so many young people in our society are homeless and living on the streets, and our hospitals are financially up sh*t creek! There has got to be something done.

Richmond for President!…[Read more]

Thanks Judith,

I’m glad to hear that. I hope the FHOG is means tested soon. At the moment it’s just a big joke on the Gov’t.

Del

The regulations with FHOG definately need to be tightened.

Apparently, heaps of overseas investors are claiming it as well.

Who voted in our Govt????

Crashy,

I am not getting into the “shares” debate, but don’t take the negative comments too personally – not easy though.[]

Take a deep breath, “take in” what has been said, and move on. Then go and try to answer some posts to help someone who can benefit from your advice, even though you are probably feeling a bit like someone else on this…[Read more]

Martin,

I forgive your crassness! (this once)

You made comments a few days ago, basically stating that “it can’t be done”. I merely tried to explain to you that “it can”.

Nobody says just go out and buy anything. Everyone is responsible for their own due diligence of the property, the town etc..etc.. Who ever makes a mistake, it comes back to…[Read more]

Thank you Camviv,

I appreciate your post.
As Crashy said, it is getting too personal.

We are all here to learn from each other, and to try and assist others.

This type of negative stuff does nobody any good.

Thanks,[]

Del

Good morning Martin,

How are you today? Same as usual it seems.

Crashy is right to suggest to IGNORE your post, and I will not comment on your “words”, however I have just one question for you.

You said that this topic is for Del, however all the quotes in it are from other people – not me!![?]

Just have a wonderful life, and I hope that you…[Read more]
