Hi all I’ve been reading the forums and find the real world information really valuable. I don’t think I’ll be contributing too much for awhile but I love learning from everyone and I’m grateful to read my fellow aspirational investor experiences. I’m a Sydney rentvestor always learning and looking for the best way to free myself from the 9-5 shackles. My partner and I have a high disposable incomes, no kids yet with two strong yielding modest commercial properties working for us so far, towards our goal of being financially free. My interests moving forward are around investment strategies and locations, tax structuring and just a broader knowledge and experienced approach to my investments. Thanks for having me
Hi TMNT, No doubt! I’m fairly conservative with my investments so far, naturally with commercial properties deposits being higher and yields also, it’s not hard too be patient and find that low maintenance great location investment. With long leases in place it’s all happy days so far. I’m a big believer in success by association so I just follow where the big company’s park there money. When I make a decision to commit to something I’ll research it for months till I’m comfortable then commit when the right opportunity comes up. I wish you well with yours
100%. When you're not it can be a bit of a nightmare, so best to not think it's going to be all beer and overseas trips
I have the same mindset (probably a very bad thing) when my investments go sour I start thinking, "If i was going to lose that amount of money, I shiould have just spent it on a car/holiday"
Oh no! That's the worst... The amount of crap I've had to spend money on could easily have funded an OS trip, now that you mention it.... but I'll refrain from ever thinking that thought again
