    Hey there,

    Anyway u go u must comply with a plan! Have u sat down and established a plan yet, that includes goals/objectives in the short-term and the long-term? Investing is like a strategy. Its how to obtain/acheive your goals.

    From there u can research and find suitable investing strategies that make your goals come true.

    cheers

    Hey Sushi ,
    Well done for asking the question…..your journey has just begun.
    As Harryson says you must get a plan. There is a lot of info here and I would suggest sitting down one night ( or a few) and reading back as far as you can on the forum. That will give you a lot of info and a lot more questions which you can then ask here again. There are also a lot of good books to read depending where you are on the journey. Books by such Authors as Robert allen, Napoleon hill, John Burley also check out Steve’s post at

    https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=316

    Gotta sit down soon and write out all the books I have read lately some good ones too.

    Hope this helps and don;t stop learning.

    Enjoy

    Hi Sushi

    good on you for starting !!

    It is a fun and sometimes bumpy ride, but actually taking control of the financial part of your life is a huge experience. (hugely good that is)

    I agree with Harryson & AD,
    1) research research research,
    2) build the team (business partner, solicitor, accountant)
    3) research the market
    4) do a deal (i.e. buy something that wont send you broke if it “goes pear shaped”)
    5) learn from the experience and do it again
    6) embrace your mistakes; they are the best teachers (apart from your children) that you will ever meet

    As everyone else said, there is some great reading material here, so this is a good place to start. Make sure you look at the links section of the site maintained by the ever groovy sooshie.

    cheers

    the Bruce

    ps WELCOME !! [:)]

    Ta Bruce,

    Well what can i say. Since my first post the feeling of being overwhelmed has disappeared rapidly. This site has presented me with the knowledge to get under way.

    I would have to say that one of the best factors of this site is the encouragement and motivation give by all, and for that i applaud u all.

    i hope that in the future i can do the same for others as you have done for me.

    Thank you

    PS Steve congats on a choice site

    Hey there again Alex,

    All i can say is; “If you get in debt make sure it is small if it big then make sure u get someone else to pay for it”
    Robert Kiyosaki

    There are people out there that have millions in liabilities but they don’t pay for it!!

    If u only take in half the information on this website u will do alright!!

    Cheers

    Hi,

    There have been some excellent quality posts in reply to your request.

    My thoughts are that you need to determine what your outcome is that you are trying to achieve from investing (ie. capital gains or cashflow).

    Deciding this will enable you to focus on particualr types of property investments.

    Then it’s a matter of finding them, which will require some effort.

    If you haven’t already done so then I recommend the Fast Track tape that I recently completed with David (my business partner). In it we outline what we did when making a start, so you should find the information relevant.

    Re: books, do you earn interest? If so then maybe you could argue you already invest and as such books etc. are just extrapolations of maximising your investing dollar. Don’t rely on this though… see your accountant.

    Bye

    Steve McKnight

    Hi Folks

    This is my very first post on this site and it is because of the sensational information that has been shared as well as the genuine sincerity of those offering the information that has prompted me to let you know I think this is a wonderful site and the people sharing are obviously wonderful also. Glad I found you!

    Kind regards
    Leigh K
