Here's my advice:

Buy low - sell high.

This guy has good no-bullshit self published books- be sure to read his take on the various 'gurus' out there including Rich Dad Poor Dad....

I've been living by that motto for a while now :1orglaugh
I'm just looking for the meat and potatoes, not looking to make a million over night.

There's a few friends of mine that are in their early 20s and allready own 150k plus cars and have a healthy savings account, all due to propperty investments and reselling. However, unlike them ... I was not born into a rich family. They have one up, seeing as their family has been doing propperty investments for ages. :(

Thanks, I'll look into it :thumbsup
I wonder if there's real estate and property investment forums out there.

There has to be... anyone know of any? :pimp

You are way to late

interest rates went up again for the 10th time in a row.

My only advice is to buy the worst house on the best block.

Buy > Fix > Sell
I wouldent say too late :thumbsup

you havn't seen this....

:Oh crap

well, if you are just starting out your first and best investment will be your own house.

mainly for tax shelter and appreciation.

Got that covered :winkwink:

It's possible to buy high and sell low... and still come out ahead once you factor in the tax breaks like accelerated depreciation.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is excellent! I would highly recommend it!

I think the Aug is the time to switch from realestate back into stocks. But thats just my opinion. They said buy low sell high. If you want realestate exposure why not buy CD they own coldwell banker one of the biggest realestate brokers in the country but they also pay a dividend, have other businesses. and a very low valuation.

Thanks! Is there any one in particular?
I have a bunch of his books, I hope I can find them :Oh crap

You know, every thread is starting to look the same to me

i gotta check that out..
