    ANOTHER pointless and belittling post Phil.

    BTW, did you ask repetitive newbie type questions when you started out on the road to your “incredible wealth” or where you just born with unlimited knowledge?

    No querty … before i started answering stupid remarks like yours i researched through the sight.

    There is so much good stuff here i continually wonder why people don’t go look back and do some research on pasts posts before the them selves post repetative questions.

    Research is a quality of successful people, before they ask questions. You can see here that 99% of the mistakes that people make is because the didn’t ask/research first.

    Continually i read about people who have gotthem selves into a bind, this is why i asked the question. Previously i posted a topic to suggest that admin catagorise this site for easy use.

    eg;
    buying my first property
    wraps
    developing
    duplexes
    builders
    flips
    putt an calls
    financing …
    portfolios
    whole sale buying stratagies ……..
    and the list goes on

    Big Phil,

    Welcome back. I guess your business will not do very well if you consider people “stupid” who do not do their own research. Isn’t the whole Resiwealth concept about information and education?

    I found this little bit of self promo very interesting…

    _____________________________

    “Residential Wealth Pty Ltd is the brainchild of Mr Philip Sigglekow. Philip has been specialising in the Property and Finance industries since 1986.

    Philip started out as an electrician and realised early on that to be successful he had to make changes in his life. Philip studied what successful people did, changed his career path and worked along side some of Australia’s best entrepreneurs including Keith Williams who built and owned Hamilton Island. In 1988 Philip was a key player in the company who planned and sold what is today Laguna Quays Resort in the Whitsundays, a $600 million dollar resort facility, four times bigger than Sanctuary Cove, in its total conceptual plan.

    Since then he has been a Director of several companies including Financial Planning, Real Estate, Finance Mortgages and Property Marketing, a far cry from the days as an electrician. He invested large sums of money in his education to learn from the best in the world the techniques and strategies of success, which he has applied to his own life. Philip has bought and sold hundreds of properties and developed a love of teaching and training others how they can do the same but in a shorter time than he. Who better can teach than a person who has done the hard yards. This knowledge and experience has positioned him as a key National speaker who is sought to teach his secrets of success.

    Philip believes that to be rich you do not have to work harder because that is not what the rich do. The key to success is knowledge and how you do certain things in a certain way to attract success.

    Australians have a love of property and it is no secret that over 80% of the wealthiest Australians got there through property investing and developing. Many people say that your home is not an ASSET but Philip believes, your home can make you RICH if geared correctly. Property doesn’t care who owns it and with the uncertainty in the stock market bricks and mortar is still your safest Asset.

    For many Australians the purchase of their first home or investment property can be a very tense and frightening experience as well as expensive. Residential Wealth prides itself in providing the answers and assisting their clients in making the correct decisions through their “Property Due Diligence Program & Secure Financial Packaging Strategies.

    Residential real estate affects all of us in every age group as we all live and rely in the security of what we call a home. In fact it is so important that our whole economy relies on the building industry as a form of financial measurement.

    Throughout our lives we are raised in the family home when we leave home, we aspire to the great Australian dream of owning our own home and that is where the journey begins.

    Young people today appear to experience great difficulty in saving enough money for a deposit and more and more feel that the price of housing has risen to such an extent that the dream of owning their own home is out of reach. The government is working on ideas to make it easier for our young generation to get their first home with such ideas as equity investing, however the question is who really owns the property?

    The baby boomer population (born between 1946 – 1965) will be starting to retire around the year 2010 (5 million people or 25% of the population) and this will put a great deal of pressure on the economy as the government doesn’t know how to fund future retirees. We are seeing indications now that governments will need to increase the superannuation levy and decrease the pension payouts, for this reason. Don’t live in denial, even today (March 2004) the Labour and Liberal governments are looking at ways to keep older Australians in the workforce longer, why is this? Quite simply “There Is Not Enough Money To Support Them”.

    Many major Australian Blue Chip companies (Ansett – AMP – FAI – HIH – One Tel etc) have either collapsed or are in financial turmoil, thus making it a hard decision on who to trust and in which companies to invest your hard earned savings.

    Australians trust and know the value of investing in bricks and mortar (Property) and are growing tired of corporate CEO’s losing their shareholders funds through bad management practices, and ridiculous high incomes.

    Residential Wealth knows and understands the importance of making the correct investment decisions as we too have experienced what happens when people make the wrong decisions.

    Philip has developed and produced a complete strategy of the “Science of change to attract success” to take people from average to outstanding.

    Some of the richest Australians have come from very humble beginnings, imagine what you could achieve with the knowledge and how happy you will be with a clearer direction.

    Quite simply the secret to your personal success is knowledge, the more you have the easier it is to make a decision Just think for a minute about all the decisions you make in your life no matter how big or small they are, isn’t it true that the more information you have the less opportunity of you making a mistake.

    The resiwealth program is ‘free’ to members of this site. Over 1,000 pages of information other companies have charged from $1,000 – $15,000 is yours free as a member to this site (refer to main menu).”

    The bit that really caught my eye was this…

    “Philip has bought and sold hundreds of properties and developed a love of teaching and training others how they can do the same but in a shorter time than he. Who better can teach than a person who has done the hard yards. This knowledge and experience has positioned him as a key National speaker who is sought to teach his secrets of success.”

    If you have a love of teaching and training others, I am the Pope!

    Now for me to teach you something… if you intend to create a business based on educating others, don’t criticise the students!

    I just noticed this little inclusion in your signature Phil. It certainly explains a lot about why you started this thread.

    Is this an attempt at diminishing this website to try and get traffic to your website?

    I think Steve started something here that is the most invaluable tool for all investors regardless of their skill level. There are not many places where you can go and get so many different pieces of advice from people of varying backgrounds and skill levels.

    I dread to think what would happen to a ‘newbie’ if they posted a question you considered silly or of poor quality on your site when it comes out.

    I will wait patiently until your website comes out to judge this for myself.

    I also challenge this comment about Resiwealth…

    Thanks Robert, i think this is one of the best web sites i have ever come across, and i love coming here to get a feel of what the market thinks.

    I have been through 2 recessions (if thats what u call them) or learning curves. In 1990 i had $5mill (or the company did) in borrowings then the interest rates went to 19.33%, what a great experience that was.

    Yes we all have signitures as you your self have.

    Yes i was and am about to again run coaching programs, until the Kaye factor happened when i decided to pull out until the heat settled.

    Yes i do love to teach and apparently by my testimonials i am quite good. I also have 3 books at the publishers in Glebe in the final stages, i have commissioned a cartoonist to do the clip art photos (over 200) because i was unhappy with what you could purchase on the market.

    I am hard on my students because this is the real world where people can loose their house if the stuff up. We are not at school any more so i take business and investing/developing in property very serious.

    Recently my brother in law (over the last few months) has got himself in such a bind financially that they are about to loose their home, because they didn’t listen, just plain stupidity IMHO.

    I think the market is wonderful if u r in the right area and a bloody night mare if u r in the wrong area. Wallace DeWattles wrote in 1904 (in one of the most read books of all time, the little green book) that the secret to becoming rich is to give people what they want.

    I am just not a fan of anyone who calls investment information a ‘secret’. It implies that by attending a seminar or buying a book that they will be provided with such increbile information that no-one else has (except the millions who buy the book or attend the seminar) which they can then go out and get rich in a week.

    When was the last time you saw a seminar advertised as ‘Sensible investment strategies for sensible investors’ or ‘Making sense of it all’ or even ‘Creative ideas for creative investors’??? I certainly don’t know of any seminar where a ‘secret’ has ever been revealed.

    Does Resiwealth hold an AFSL Licence or are you a Financial Planner? What qualifications do you or your organisation hold to provide wealth creation advice?

    Resiwealth
    Can’t help but say it: find something better to do with your time. Maybe your over it !!!

    Read the posts – some have hundreds of people reading them. It amazes me how many people use the site and read the posts in the forum.

    I do agree there have been some pooper posts here, however I have been using the site for some time now, and find the forums terrific. Its just great for asking questions when you get stuck with a problem

    And there is some very good advice from people who have done it and are happy to share their experience and knowledge with others. Even though some are touting for business, they still spend their time giving us the appropriate options and solutions to our questions, and sometimes the business that they are in does help some of us.

    So keep it up everyone. Let’s keep this site alive and kicking. Ignore the knockers.

    Yes Robert i agree with you re “secrets” thanks for the point and i will change accordingly.

    I have had this conversation it Mike Burnett MD of Vision Pursuit. I also know that many people don’t like the words Wealth and Rich for the same reason.

    Here is a thought for you though – not counting the bible what are the most read books in the last 100 years (or should i say the top most read books)

    The Richest man in Babylon
    Think and grow Rich
    Rich dad poor dad
    The science of getting Rich

    I wonder if they would have been so popular if the word Rich was dropped for another word???

    JULES1 – if you look at the responses of mine on other posts you will find them quite the opposite to what you are saying.

    Regards Phil

    Those books you mention emphasise my point. There is no chapter included that tells readers how the sucker title of the book got them to buy it and that is how the author is getting rich.

    I strongly agree with everyone except “RESIWEALTH”.
    I’m 26 and coming 27, hold about A$750k valued property + cash. I have asked a lot of stupid questions but not as stupid as yours. Even people asked stupid question but at least they have the heart to learn and to improve their lifestyle. I believe if you start to invest at young age, you will probably able to retired even at age 40 if you follow the right method. So therefore, age is not a question.

    Through forum I have leart heaps from eveyone’s contribution and from the topic rise had thought me to think and apply to myself, it does help!

    sometimes being too smart can be abondon because they are over smart and too complicated to even think of something simple.

    Conclusion, I would think if those that are “smart” won’t asked those questions:

    Quoted RESIWEALTH
    “What is the most dominant age here 17 – 25 ??????
    How many people own investments here ???????
    Who is just getting started ???????
    How many still live at home ???????
    How many experts with no money buts lots of info ??????
    Any real developers ??????
    Any builders ???????
    How many authors ???????
    How many snoops tooooo scard to answer ???”

    What about yourself?
    Thank you

    tsk…

    I am sure many people on here realise that so many people got their money through inheritance- one hardly needs genius to make money that way…

    resi… the words “wealth” and “rich” don’t have capitals- they are not proper nouns (unless as keywords in titles etc). Some marketer somewhere just told authors to Write Them in Capitals to Make Them Sound Important. However, it tends to make people sound a tad ignorant- like as if they don’t know where capitals belong. It is like websites with all that yellow highlighting crap- it just looks amateur and desperate.

    And resi… whilst dreams of wealth may sell, so does sex- how about these titles?

    The Sexiest Chick in Babylon
    Think and Grow a Bigger One
    The science of getting Laid

    They’d sell- absolutely.

    What about,
    ‘Sexual Secrets of The Rich (Learn The 7 Steps To Sexual Freedom!).’
    ‘Rich Dad, Impotent Dad (What the Rich Teach Their Kids That The Impotent Class Do Not!)’
    Also a lot of the ‘Newbies’ do ask very intelligent questions/post very articulated replies. Stars against an avatar mean nothing. Hell, look at mine!

    Hey Gatsby,

    There are definately no “Sexual Secrets of The Rich”. They simply pay for it!

    So now you don’t need to buy that book.

    Is it just me or is there a lot of genitalia measuring going on between some of the roosters on this site of late?

    A’la

    My portfolio is bigger than yours.

    I have more experience than you.

    I have read this site for over a year now and only recently found the courage to write in. My knowledge is no where near where most others are and so will always be asking ‘silly’ question. I am encouraged by the answers given, so will continue to learn through this website.
