I live in the area and land is so tightly held here. Blocks are selling before the land is released. The profit margin on this one would be in the millions, the input is in the millions too though.
I keep finding deals (this one is the biggest by the way) that are just way too big for me at the moment.
Most are about a million down (all with over 20% return). I just need the mil first huh?
Not sure if I should just stop looking, or find someone who can finance these sort of things (where oh where are all the people with all the money??) or if I should use it all as a learning tool.
Slow and steady wins the race, find deals that you can manage that are within your capacity and build up.. if you do your research you will find opportunities that can work for you. If you go to far to fast you may not have the foundation to support it and you end up tin trouble.
Yes you will be better to say things like "I'm growing wealthier by the day" etc. Also a millionaire is not much these days when the average home in Sydney nearly costs this much. I think billionaire is more appropriate now days.
I think to be a millionaire you need to have the confidence in you, the ability and luck. throughout one's life comes a number of opportunities. all you need to do is pick the right opportunity!!
If I were a Billionaire (I'm not going to aim for small thank you) I'd give away some 'stuff' cars, houses money, buy both sets of parents houses and lives so they can hang out with the grand kids.
I'd also buy a couple hundred acres just for me and a lambo for my other half. Very greedy huh!
Personally I'm aiming for $50 mill cash and assets. I'll post on here when I get there
If I were a millionaire, I'd buy all the stuffs that I want and help those who are in need. If you are wealthy enough remember to share your blessings=)
When I become a multi millionaire, I will strive to help all those around me to succeed as well, and will look into ways to create a better future for the world i.e. by investing my time and money in the next generation to come after mine
managed to get around the world for 2 months on about 15k saw all the sites and not 1 backpackers hostel so you definitely dont need a mil to do it. If i had $1m probably gear myself up 1:5 if possible and buy $5mil property? If i had 20 times that: -a few acres in my hometown cooranbong/martinsville (probably buy the house i grew up in back) – a few dogs chooks cows horses hydroponic+aquaponic setup solar+wind energy and become fully self sufficient and off the grid – continue in my line of work from home – clear out some debts back in nz (Tangata whenua! – dam government!!!!) – take care of family, community and the environment could probably do that without $20m but they are my life plans
Scott, I'll help you with offloading some of that heavy, heavy cash….I can even take gold bars, look, I will if you need me to.
That acreage with a really huge hedge. I really want a big ass hedge and someone else to cut if for me, so I can look at it everyday and go, wow liking that hedge!
Being a millionaire (50 mill for me please) is really about the freedom. If you wake up, you can think, 'hey today, you know what, I wanna feed a bunch of people, just for fun'. Or "hey, I haven't done 260km around my racetrack today, I think I'll do that today.' Or maybe I can see how much plastic dollars I can fling out a low flying plane window this week. Take your kids to the Kimberly for the week…. you name it.
It's about ideas you can have everyday and with that cha-ching you can do, instead of wish.
I like this thread. Every time I get a message I think, hey yeah, remember all the things you can do when you get paid.
I would like to think that we all can be givers before we make the big million. If we can't give now when we have little, how do we expect to give then when we have plenty? It doesn't have to be money, it can time, mentoring, knowledge, encouragement, etc. etc.
Wishing you all success and many happy returns!
D, 50 mil huh!?! and "I really want a big ass hedge and someone else to cut if for me, so I can look at it everyday and go, wow liking that hedge! " Hahahahahah! Good one.
