    Celivia,

    The only difference is with a LOC, lots of your profits are going in DR interest on your LOC. With that repaid, all the money goes directly to you. Financially you feel and look to banks a lot better off.

    I would never advise anyone to sell their home, but we are determined to make a success of investing, and not just be an average investor> We feel the only way to do this is to SELL.

    I guess we have owned our own home for some years, and the novelty has worn off. We don’t see it “up there on a pedestal” anymore.

    Regards,

    Hi Andrewsal,

    Yes, do it!

    We have just listed our house on 20 acres (a week ago) and we are going to cash in our LOC, pay out our small mortgage, and SPEND THE REST on lots of +ve cashflow ppty.

    We will rent a small house, but we will have CASH coming in. Although we’ll be in a smaller place, we’ll feel rich because we will not have to look at our big LOC, mortgage loan etc. We will have a mindset to “GO AND DO IT”.

    YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! You can always buy a house later.

    GOOD LUCK,[8D]

    Will & Del

    Congratulations Leigh,

    Well done. You did your figures, set your price and stuck to it.

    You didn’t get “emotional” over the ppty, like others did, and you won!!

    Who said there aren’t deals out there that meet the 11 second solution.[:I]

    Hope it all goes well,[:D]

    Del & Will

    Hi battz71,

    Yes, I went to the Feb seminar. I would definately recommend it IF you plan to renovate as part of your strategy.

    Use the “search” function at the top of your screen, and search for Geoff Doidge & Paul Eslick, or reno kings or queens.

    I have discussed it before, so have others.

    Also try their website” http://www.financialsuccesssystems.com and have a read.

    Good luck,

    Hi Arty,

    Sorry, but you’ve got it all wrong.

    Steve IS NOT finding any deals for any of us.

    We are doing it all on our own, just like you guys. He is there as a mentor, to motivate etc…
    Yes, we are all finding it hard to find deals.

    Hi Pebbles,

    Nothing of Henry Kaye’s is free!! [:(!]

    BE CAREFUL AND DON’T SIGN ANYTHING!

    In other words “DON’T GO”!!!!!!!

    You will find a lot of info about Henry Kaye if you use the search facility.

    Good luck,

    Hi Keith,

    Welcome to the forum. [:)]

    CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL.[;)]

    I’d love to hear a bit of your story, and I’m sure the others would also.

    Richmond,

    Thanks for that. We’ll have to have the TV on in one room on CH7, and the video in the other room on CH9.

    Choices!

    Hi Aaron,

    I hope you appreciated my longest ever post! – Sorry about that. I probably got carried away.

    My question to you so that we can lay this post to bed is:

    Do you NOW think that the way Steve chose the people for the MAP program was fair?

    Regards,

    Leigh,

    Thanks for resurrecting this post from the “never never”.

    It was a great post a few months ago, and I’m sure that some of the “new” members will enjoy reading about some of the “old” members.

    Happy reading all,[;)]

    Thanks Leigh,

    I wish you were doing it with us, cos I know you have the attitude to succeed.

    It’s great to call you a friend now, and whether people are in this program or not, doesn’t make them any better than anyone else.

    Perhaps the newbies could make their posts a little less “bluntly”….if they want to succeed and become a real part of this great forum.

    We are all here to help & motivate each other to succeed, not get personal with eachother.

    Richmond,

    I didn’t think our KooWeeRup football team had ever won anything – especially footy!

    Sounds like a normal nite at KWR Footy club.

    I’m sorry we missed that nite, Billy is a classic!

    Ah Richo,

    How’s the job going?

    Without trying to sound vain, – Yes and yes!![8D]

    The Today Tonight crew were at our place today filming, (which I might add is not straight forward with 2 girls aged 4 & 5)and have been at others also recently. Never act with kids or animals. We tried it with both….[:)]

    Please don’t laugh at us. WE ARE HOPEFULLY BETTER INVESTORS THAN TV STARS !!!!![:I][:I]

    Without spoiling the plot for Today Tonight, we have set our goals, and are going to do whatever it takes to succeed. We are finding it just as hard to find deals as everyone else though. That won’t stop us!!

    Perhaps we could catch up soon if you get any time off from that other opposition network!! ha ha…[;)][;)]

    Hi Simon,

    Yes I see what you mean. All those calls from wanabees ringing up about places that are sold a week or two ago, must really give the agents the sh**s![:I]

    Hi Slim & others,

    I was at the seminar. The price was more like $1500, but that’s OK, and I was lucky and got a 2 for 1 deal because I booked & paid before a certain date. It was a double bargain.[:)]

    The seminar was held over 2 days, Sat & Sun. On Saturday afternoon, we were all offered the opportunity of the Millionaire Apprentice Program, and who ever wanted to take up the challenge had to submit a homework assignment & questionairre by “08.15am” on the Sunday morning.

    Of course, everyone there except one or two I believe, submitted the applications. A couple come in after 08.15am, which was the absolute cut off time to hand in applications! They proved they couldn’t do it, so didn’t get considered.

    After that exercise, everyone was surprised on the Sunday to find out that interested applicants ALSO had to fill in a daily journal for the 30 days following the seminar. Last day of the journal was 30th June, 2003

    Well, here’s the bombshell, that blows everybody’s selection theory.

    I believe that only about 45 people out of I think 180, were the only ones that could be bothered to write a few lines each day, and post it to Steve. This proved that the others didn’t appear to have what it takes to committ to something for even one month, not a year!! There may be some people who changed their minds during the month for whatever reason, perhaps knew that with work & family committments it really would too difficult etc, and that’s fair enough.

    Steve purposely put this monthly journal as the decider, and it proved to be very interesting figures I thought.

    Who ever is chosen is out of that 45, and NOT who looked best out of 180.

    Good luck to all on the program, Yes you may have gathered I am one of the lucky 12. If I was not “chosen” I would have accepted it and felt that it was at least a fair process. I would have tried to do it on my own though.

    I wish everyone on the program huge success, and I wish everyone NOT on the program huge success. The program will take up lots of time and some sacrifices to all participants. A lot of the chosen people are flying in once a month from all around Australia – AT THEIR OWN COSTS. There are other regular costs also, accomodation etc.

    Hey guys, please don’t think that we have had this handed to us on a platter, and we are going to wake up “millionaires” one day. Steve is NOT finding any deals for us, or telling us where to invest. Everything is up to us. He is there as a “mentor”, and we can ask his opinion etc.

    I thank Steve & Dave for this chance of a lifetime opportunity, and I hope that other forumites will support us all.

    Regards,

    Hi Mortgage Hunter,

    Perhaps I have been too harsh with agents.

    I was under the belief that they left the sold properties on the net, so that they would still get phone calls coming in from people!

    Hi Alf,

    A bit different to what you’re talking about, but we try to instal a safety switch, and smoke detectors if they are not already installed.

    Helps us sleep better at night.
