Timeline, milestones.

Anyone care to share? e.g.

1970 - Born
2000 - IP1 $100k (sold 2010 for $250k)
2003 - IP2 $150k ($300k*)
2005 - Married
2004 - IP3 $400k ($650k)
2007 - PPOR $500k ($700k)

I?m interested primarily in years of purchase, purchase prices, current values, sales prices. And anything else of significance such as marriage, kids, divorce, starting a business, retirement etc.

* The figures in parentheses are current values.

Sorry, I don't want the world to know all my financial/personal information.

Best I am willing to do is.

Born 1962
First home 1987
Married 1988
Bought heaps of IP's 1998-2013
Sold a few along the way.

Currently holding of IP's is in the double figures.
 
I think it's a good exercise for one to do once in a while.
It can show how far you have come and can help assess future goals.

Will have to go an do some digging to find my figures/dates, it's so easy to lose track of this stuff and not realise that so much has happened over the years.
Might even find a property or 2 you have forgotten you even owned....
 
Checked my history for the first time ever.

1975 - Born.
2000 - Married at age 25.
2001 - Bought PPOR, new OTP apartment, entitled to 14k FHOG which was desperately needed.
2002 - Joined Somersoft :)
2003 - Sold PPOR after 2 year hold, as no way to add value, and I had decent building/reno skills.
2003 - Bought another PPOR, dilapidated house on a main road, plans to reno myself to build equity.
2005 - Started a business from scratch to help fund future accumulation of IP's.
2007 - Bought IP1 in Sydney.
2008 - 1st dependant born.
2010 - Bought IP2 in Brisbane.
2010 - Bought IP3 in Brisbane.
2011 - IP1 developed into a Duplex, hold as IP's.
2012 - IP2 developed into 5 townhouses, hold as IP's.
2012 - Sold PPOR after 9 year hold.
2012 - Bought another PPOR
.
2013 - IP3 developed into 6 townhouses, hold as IP's.

Looking at this timeline, the key turning point was a couple of years after starting a business.
All IP's have been accumulated in the past 5 years, even though I've been a daily reader of Somersoft for the past 11 years.
I believe an active investing strategy will fast track results well above a passive strategy, but this is probably common sense.
