Hi all
How many of us are trying to accumilate property using earned income, relying on capital appreciation to fund further purchases? It's certainly achievable, but Robert Kiyosaki states that the common way to great wealth is to build a business and use the excess cash generated by the business to buy real estate.
Even if you look at many of the prominant real estate commentators they are using businesses to generate cash for this purpose. Lets look at some of my favourites.
Michael Yardney has Metropole Properties and a significant "Guru products/seminar" business. Rick Otton vendor finances homes to fund the ones he keeps. Martin Ayles runs a development company to fund the ones he keeps. Ed Chan has Chan & Naylor. Bill Zehn has Invertor Direct. Steve McKnight even has his books and his web site/ guru products business.
Then of course you have the people most of us have never heard of who have unrealated businesses and just quietly chanel business funds into substantial portfolios.
I ran out of steam for purchases a while back, so have let the portfolio sit while I've been building a business based on selling and distributing a product I've had built to fill a need in my area of expertise. In a very short time its well and truely wiping out the negative cashflow of my portfolio and should get me buying again soon
Has anyone else had experience in this regard?
