Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the things that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Good advice.

In other words: if you don’t stick your neck out even a little bit, nothing great is ever likely to come your way. Margaret Thatcher said that “success and achievement do not come to those people who want just a little bit of peace and quiet.” Also, good advice.

It’s wise to keep in mind that the definition of insanity, at least according to popular culture, is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result each time. As it relates to your financial goals, that means that to expect labouring all day, every day, to make your financial dreams come true is folly. If you would like to improve your financial situation–by a little or a lot—something specifically has to change.

Dreaming big with investment properties

Dreaming with no action gets you nowhere. Humans are creatures of endeavour. They are meant to strive and have a go. That’s how we advance. As John A Shedd said in 1928 “A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for”.

By investing in rental property, you can stop dreaming and start realizing your financial goals. It takes a lot less than you may imagine to get started. Some equity or a modest deposit can start you on your way by securing that first rental property. The rental income and tax rebates will pay off that first property and then help pay off additional properties, which will bring in even more rental income and tax rebates.

Once you see how easy our system works, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start investing in property sooner. With investment properties, your money will literally earn money while you sleep.

It’s not a fairy tale. Real estate investing can make your dreams come true in less time than you would have thought possible. Soon, you can stop working those long hours and start spending time doing the things you and your family enjoy.

After all, who says you have to stop with making just one dream come true?
