Real estate books are a mixed batch. There are those that I recommend, such as Eldred and McLean’s excellent Investing in Real Estate, now in it’s fifth edition. On the other end of the spectrum is Robert Kiyosaki’s bestselling fable Rich Dad Poor Dad, a dangerous and misleading book if ever there was one.
So… you’ve done your time in the city…the big smoke as we Aussie’s call it, and you’re looking for the next step. Well, one of the biggest catch phrases around, along with the one of the most popular Australian real estate investment moves these days is the “sea change”.
The term “Sea Change” came about a few years back, giving a bankable “tag” to the thousands of people that each week move to coastal towns along the perimeter of this beautiful land. While it mainly refers to the older generation, younger investors are flocking to the beaches, east and west, north and south.
In the last few weeks, I have had several e-mails and a few phone calls asking me to show a home.
I received an email this morning and the subject line was “Do you think he regrets following the gurus?” Yes, it was about Casey and I usually just delete these now without reading them but I read that one. It was talking about Casey’s latest blog entry.
I haven’t kept up with the Casey saga over the last week but apparently there has been lots of activity. Don’t know the details, don’t intend to take the time to find out, if you know the details, I don’t really care.
But…
I did read his post from last night and I am going to discuss the advice he gives. Casey is not an expert and the theory of someone who knows all the wrong things to do is a source of advice is just stupid. If I am seeking advice, I don’t want to know how to do it wrong or in an unsuccessful way. If I am seeking someone’s help it is to avoid failure, not embrace it.
Dear Prospective Client:
I must tell you up front there
Are you facing foreclosure on your Indianapolis home? Do you feel like you’re losing the race against
time in your effort to keep your home? Who Ya Gonna Call? Since you are unlikely to find a foreclosure busting trio to assist you in the fight, the first person you should call and be in contact with is your mortgage company.
Well, now that I’m back in Far north Queensland, I had time to catch up on some emails and came across some interesting facts…
Totally oblivious to these facts before now, I though I’d share them with you. They show that, “greed is bad karma” and no matter how rich and famous you may be…being humble is the better option!
