How wonderful to see so much excellent and valid discussion going on here - just what these forums are meant for. And on an aside thanks for the support - I was havig a bad week last week so another straw wasn't great but each person must be allowed to express their opinions, I guess! Just...

Don't be sorry and don't ever stop asking questions!

Keiran The new book How to Maximise Your Proeprty Portfolio does clarify this a little more and it addresses the question of running out of tax deductions and becoming positively geared as does Income for Life (page 202). Bazza my strategy is not to use a P&I loan and I guess this is what...

Hi Kevin Love to and at the risk of sounding like I am trying to sell books they are in the last two books I wrote and in much more detail than I could list on this forum. I know you can get my books in libraries if you are reluctant to buy without knowing what they are about. Also you do...

Hi Bazza I understand your reluctance to buy without looking and this is a basic human need - to touch and feel so to speak (settle down, I mean the property!) By all means go and look if you can, and certainly I have bought some after looking first (although not lately). Be sure however...

help Thanks everyone. I knew this forum could not JUST be full of people who didn't like me!! My next project is a book for young people. I have been trying to get into the schools by offering free educational seminars for year 10 and 12 students - to teach them the importance of both...

At the risk of getting sacked Well anymore kerb crawling in this forum is likely to get me sacked (lucky I have a great boss) - as I am not getting much work done here at all. But let's see how I can help you with an answer. Firstly, can I please make one thing clear - the positive cash...

Patience? Hi Sim Patience is the one thing I've got lots of!!! Living with 5 kids, a husband, 3 dogs, two cats, your mother and your ex husband (who has a flat on our property and helps with the family), then this is a virtue you have to have!!!! :p . I just keep smiling!

Thanks Thanks Michael. Its not too often that I get the chance to actually sit here and do nothing but browse a forum. After today's little exercise, it will take nerves of steel for me to take another peek!!!! I guess when you get lots of good feedback it sort of protects you form the...

Ok I'll clear it up This is fun to many of you but I like to think you all do really learn something from this forum. Don't worry Mark - the criticism doesn't hurt so much as disappoint - I do alot of work for no money (speaking spots all over the country, free articles in magazines, radio...
