    Completley aggree,

    Received an email a few weeks back from a reputable Funder in the market offering 7.50% (48mths) fixed return (paid monthly & guaunteed) on investments over $500k. Also, no fees.

    Overall a sound & safe ROI.

    Catch is...Only offered to a certain industry network

    make your money in business, then leverage into property. After property as kicked in and grown - lower LVR - then sell and go into higher yielding blue chip shares with good franking credits. EFTs maybe.

    I only skimmed the email but heres the low down...

    They are a private, Melbourne based funder in the EF space opertaing 18 years with unblemished investment record (apparently). Although i say they're 'reputable' (dealt with them on numerous deals) they are a 3rd tier (bottom of the barrell) lender. But hey, theres a market for that!

    Company name is Morris Finance & have funding lines open to private investors. I just re-read the email, looks like anyone can invest i beleive?... however EF Brokers just get an additional 0.50% return as a 'special.'

    FYI - I'm not suggesting anyone go invest in them, merely stating what they claim.

    These sorts of things can pay off, but there are also many where people have lost the lot.

    there's more to life than working
    I think this is key to supercharge wealth creation. Generate high income from the business, and use to leverage into growth assets in property. To can only do that for so long though.

    It's all about leverage on top of leverage really.
    In a business, you leverage your limited available time by having employees earn money for you.
    Now, you have more money to invest into property.
    With this increased level of money and property, you can develop property which is leveraging again.

    The Richest Man in Babylon is great book for this concept.

    This book is next on my to-read list.

    The Millionaries Fastlane is a book im reading at the moment that also alludes to the notion of leverage on top of leverage, or "Controllable Unlimited Leverage" as its called by the Author. He compares this concept with the 'Slowlane' road to wealth, described as "Uncontrolled Limited leverage" (e.g. you trade your time for money as an employee, but you cannot control time & it has no leverage).

    Perhaps a little off topic, but, word of advice. Enjoy the journey. Do not compromise your health and family.
