Guam I went in 2001 for a sports tournament. Pretty small place, you can dive the WW2 wrecks- unsure of price visit strip clubs full of Japanese businessmen. swim swim swim- has a very tropical climate visit worlds largest Kmart not really much else to do

young investors I am 26 years old. Left high school at 18, brought 1st house at when I had just turned 20. Worked all the time to buy the house, at one stage had 3 jobs on the go, approx 80 hours working per week, worth it though because I saved quickly. Lived in the house for 18...

Nikolina, I can't be bothered arguing with you. But your story is not straight or you do not understand what living off rental income is/means, and to be honest- who cares either way. all the best

Bill, you are onto it. Her plan has many holes in it that many have glazed over while reading. sounds great when read quickly but doesn't take into count many things eg capital gains. I did at age 18- but found it very hard- to work 7 days per week plus try to pull all nighters, also...

take the above example- (understand it was just senario)- $400 weekly rent assuming 7% yield= $300,000 pp x 5 properties 1.5 million. How on an average income does one pay off 1.5 mill of debt in the near future? In 20 years that is paying 75k cash per year, that would mean an income...

See the below story, it is a 5 min read but well worth it, I saw it on another website time ago and it has stuck with me. story- Food for thought... A boat docked in a tiny New Zealand sea side town. An Australian & American tourist complimented the Kiwi fisherman on the quality of...

I think it is time I get a legal Will drawn up. Are the do it yourself types ok? If not, what is an approx $$ amount a lawyer will charge for creating a will. I have 2 IP's and a PPOR, 2 IPs in New Zealand and PPOR in Australia. Will this make it more difficullt or expensive to set...

Hi all, Just brought our first PPOR the other week, settled last week. Bank has charged us $1052.70 for land titiles office charge- taken it out of our mortgage. Where does this come from, is it our lawyers fees? Thanks

I wouldn't be impressed if I was in a uni lecture and was being taught from Rich Dad Poor Dad, I would then be waiting for the lecturer to start trying to sign me up to some MLM scheme. Richest man in Babylon was a good read, when I read it as a teenager, this kind of thing should be taught at...

I would tend to think that a local property manager would be more of an advantage then one removed from the area your property is in. I work for a national RE franchise and we have both sales and pm teams. We do get a lot of people coming through the door asking for a rental list or to see...

I agree with Hobo-jo, disgusting! Stop wasting your time trying to cheat the system and instead find a way you or your son can add to society.

Hi all, this situation doesnt always happen because a real estate agent is trying to scam you. If I have an offer coming in from one party that I am pretty sure the owner will accept it, and if I know others have expressed keen interest in puting in an offer to purchase, then I will let...

Robbins CDs I brought a copy of Robbins audio cds on Ebay. Cost well under $100 and I thought that was good value for money. People are selling them all the time on Ebay. I would try these out before spending big on any seminar if I were you. Israel

Helen hi Helen, Cannot disagree with you more, if I was the owner of the property I would want the agent to keep advertising my property until it was unconditional. Should your offer had gone unconditional then you would have owned the property, all offers after yours was accepted would...
