He's just got to put himself out there. Sort of the same as property investment, don't over analyse things and become paralysed, which he obviously has. If you want something jump in and go for it, cause if you don't you'll always regret it.. But I do agree when people say don't go searching...

What are you planning on building with 100k?

Congrats Trogdor! :D Hope it all goes smoothly for you and you reach your desired outcome. You give hope to people like myself, who also wish to move into commercial property investment one day! Can I ask how long you have been seriously researching commercial property (e.g. actually...

Thanks for your responses guys. I'll have a look into it and let you know how I go. Cheers. :)

Or the "Mindless drivel" thread.

Being an Adelaide fan I have been extremely disappointed in the A-League this season! haha We are going to get thumped in the Asian Champions League! :o As for the EPL, obviously miles ahead of the A-League in every aspect. Love watching the EPL games and the championship (2nd tier) is...
