Hi makingmoneystill
No, I don't mind you asking. Up until 4 years ago I concentrated mostly on buying a mix of residential and rural properties (irrigation farms and stations), in Vic, North Queensland and remote NSW. I retired at 58 and put most of $ into a NSW beach/cliff top home where I watch the whales pass by and play the stock market. I still consult on property issues when called upon to do so, but for the most part I'm enjoying what's left of life (to the victor go the spoils). My strategy being, you can't take it with you

. That said, nothing beats quality RE as an investment if your timing (in and out) is right. As you will note from my first post on the property forum (a month or two ago), I'm always happy to advise respectful HC members on RE issues to the extent of my (past) professional knowledge. I call it giving back, given most here could not hope to afford my hourly consultancy rate.
