Jeremy, if you had some interesting questions i might answer them for you if i can.
I dont know why you think i am public property, and should give all answers to all personal questions? I'm not sure why once in a chat room i said "sure, ask away, Im an open book" you now think this is my everyday policy.
And I dont know why you persist in this conversation, If you feel I have never helped you in any way, terribly sorry bout that, but really, its not my job to help you or anyone else on this forum, If i contribute, its because i know the answer,I DONT know all the answers and even if i do know the answer to questions, i dont always give an answer,as I am not qualified, i would rather leave those things to the mortgage brokers or the accountants , bless them for visiting this forum, I learn a lot from them, and take a lot of information back to my own accountant and ask if "we are doing this" .
I dont HAVE to help you, if others feel I am not being helpful, then they can hold that opinion as well, but this web site is not my 'job' it is a bit of fun, and very good information with other interesting likeminded people. If anyone else thinks I am a waste of time, just say so, and believe me, I will go away, I DO have other things that can entertain and inform me. But my personal business is not up for discussion.
Your persistence in wanting an exact figure on what I own, is a silly male chesting thing, and I dont play that game, 1. Im female, dont need to get chesty, 2. Im very confident in myself, i dont need anyone else's approval of who what where or how much. My reasons for keeping my business to myself, i could never expect you to understand Jeremy, and I dont feel like explaining it to you, make of it what you will, you already have, you should now let it go and lighten up.
I have related plenty of stuff about individual buys I have made, and if you personally missed the info Jeremy, then sorry again. I have NEVER asked for the guru tag, and those that know me, know i shudder at the word guru, as to me, it indicates someone who knows everything, i dont know everything, far from it, I just happen to have a good team that knows everything.( I use all of my brains and as much of everyones elses that I can - roosevelt?)
To be honest Im not really interested in the boring facts and figures side of property investing, the related tax issues etc etc, i pay someone else to get into it, and I stumble along on my merry way, could I be in a far better posistion if I DID take an interest? undoubtedly!
but really , im just not into the nuts and bolts, i like the chase, and thats about it. Thats my style, im not asking anyone to follow my style, im not knocking anyone else's style.
I HAVE certainly brought a lot of people together over the last few years, and some of the terrific meetings of minds and information passed around is very exciting, between cashflow games and Big BBQ's and freestyler meetings, I think i have been instrumental in passing out a lot of information. My return for doing all this? my own personal growth. Money? well, if you consider the money I have made from people passing along good tips, then yes, i made money, but i also put the whole shebang together other people make money as well from information. Freestylers making me money? HA! not yet, maybe one day it will show a positive return, but then I am not going to tell you my personal business as to what I would do with the profits from a "feel good" business, but It certainly will go to help others, I dont need it. And quite frankly its none of your business, I am not public property.
Would love to see you at an event or get together one day Jeremy, did you manage to go to the Christmas dinner held in Sydney last night? Rob and I organised that.Theres always Brisbane and Melbourne dinners to go next week, the Melb and Bris. coordinators and myself organised those as well, we dont make anything out of it, we are just trying to help everyone and ourselves where we can, this is how I help people on the forum, we are the live extention of the forum, I cant do that accountant stuff.
SO Jeremy, do you have any other questions other than, "Exactly how much property do I own?", I will answer if i can. Besides, you already know I own nothing, its all in trusts, and I have an obligation NOT to go sprouting personal information to that end.
You also mentioned to me that you thought the article in API magazine was wishy washy, well, i didnt write it! I gave information that they asked for, Dave De Moor wrote the article, and with true integrity kept the personal information that i asked not to be disclosed to himself, how rare is that for a journo? I applaud Dave De Moor for this, the reason why i did this again you wont understand, others who have spoken to me in person will undertand.
Now, you have made me write this long reply, which I know you wont be happy with as it doesnt answer that silly question you keep asking, but if you cant get over it by this post, then we know its become an obsession for you, and you should attempt to let it go.
I think your a great person from what exchanges we have had in chat, and from what everyone else tells me about you, and I see by your usually good quality posting, you have a lot to offer, even more than I have to offer, as you are far more interestd in facts and figures, I am not. As I keep telling people, Im a little to comfortable to have that burning passion about property anymore, still love it, but not as screamingly full on as I used to be. I also have other business and a family to be with. Ive done my hard yards now.
Hope to see you at an event Jeremy,
Cheers, TW
