My strategy for investing now focuses on my Property Mangement dept. Business pays for many expenses also not included in wage. I was broke and close to bankruptcy just 6 yrs ago before Real Estate gave me direction. Congrats to everyone on your insight to the financial freedom property offers you.

My goal is to eventually be earning $300,000 p.a. My income is deceiving because there are other aspects to it. You may have missed Harris though who's income does surpass that mark. I love knowing about others who make fantastic incomes, just inspires me to work harder. Great Post guys.
