    I recently red Steve book. I must say it is facinating. However, I find it extremely difficult (if not impossible) to find a cashfow positive property using his 11 second formula. If I understood it well, a property rented out for $120/week should cost me $60k. An extensive internet surch for the past few days using realestate.com and domain.com did not bring me such luck.I searched in Greater Brisbane, Greater Melbourne, Traralgon, Mildura, Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat areas. I am not keen on Kalgoorlie, Mt Isa etc as they are unifocused economies. The other thing is that Steve seems to suggest that we take a Principal and interest loan. Is it not going to increase my weekly outflow and hence impacl on positive cashfow? Am I not better off reinvesting the principal else where? May be I did not understand well. Any help?

    Thanks

    Is it possible to find +CF property? Yes.
    Is it difficult to find +CF property? Yes!

    When Steve wrote his first book property prices hadn’t jumped to the level where they are now. I suggest you read Steve’s 2nd book where it talks about creating +CF proerties rather than simply buying them (as it is very difficult to find them). If you just want to buy +CF proeprty check out other types of property (rather than resi – such as commercial, industrial) of course usually the banks will lend you less money (up to a maximum of 70%).
