Hi guys,
I am a newb to investing and a newb to Somersoft (hi all!).
My question is regarding getting the right investment strategy from the start:
I am passionate about educating myself and have read a couple of books and attended a bunch of seminars (but no formal training), and I know there is all the knowledge I could ever want out there (and here) for free, but I feel that to maximise my time and (substantial) capital I would benefit from some outside input/professional advice on what the best portfolio 'plan' is for me.
I am wondering where/who you think the best place to go would be to sit down and work through my situation and work out the best possible strategy for me (atm). I don't just mean a quick chat with an accountant, I mean seriously working through my options. What I would like to achieve up front is:
It seems to me that the best options available are to:
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Feel free to recommend specific programs/people too (I am in Perth). *Self-interested parties need not respond.
Many thanks guys

- Refine my goal(s)
- Look at different strategies (FHO/PPR, multiple IP's, CF+, renovation, developing) and see which one best suits my goals
- Work out a timeline/action plan utilising the best strategy(s)
It seems to me that the best options available are to:
- Speak to a financial planner/accountant/mortgage broker (I have tried this to some extent but didn't find they delved deep enough)
- Join a mentoring program (I have been looking at Poritive Real Estate, any thoughts?)
- Enroll in a training course (I haven't found any that deal with this 'early stage' planning)
- Read A LOT of books (and probably find as many questions as answers...)
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Feel free to recommend specific programs/people too (I am in Perth). *Self-interested parties need not respond.
