I was just looking back over the postings
for the past few months and have noticed
that there are fewer and fewer Newbies,
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed with the
excited that comes when your first
discover your financial future in property.
Most of the posts are now about
wrapping, flipping, flapping, booms,
busts, clearance rates, tricky financial
maneouvres and a distinct element of
cynicism and hard-nosery.
I wondered how many of us first came to
the site having read one of Jan's books or
attended a seminar. I still remember the
night in 1994 when I listened to Jan
waxing lyrical about the benefits of buy
and hold property. I remember her saying
"You buy your first IP and then you buy
your second. Now this is the important
bit...(we leant forward our pens
poised)...you keep the first one."
Revelation! Scales falling from our eyes."
Life was so simple back then. I am
feeling very nostalgic.
Are there are any of you still out there?
The buyers and holders regardless of
booms or busts, negative or positive
gearing, who don't feel guilty when you
received a cheque from the tax man
because it means you might have made
a loss of the deal?
I was just wondering if we have lost touch
without roots.
