Hi all, 2014 in 10 days. It would be interesting to hear what you all have done in 2013 and what are the plans for 2014. Doesn't have to be investment specific. Those who responded to the last year's thread may want to update as well.
For us
2013 : A lot of investment related stuff happened. We bought 3 IPs. Sold PPOR. Did a major renovation, made lots of stupid mistakes and learnt a lot. Did another renovation which went smoothly. Bid at an auction successfully and got another house under contract, both should settle in January 2014 if valuations are ok. Joined Somersoft. Went on a 4 weeks overseas holiday. Bought a vehicle. Partner started part time studies.
2014: Settle the 2 under contract properties. Do some renovations at all 5 IPs. Get medicare card and insurances. Build some buffer. May be make a baby Convert an IP into PPOR or move to another rental. Start some studies. Better time management. And read.
