LOL, rich dad...firstly i guess u have to hav the initial capital to invest b4 anything else.
as wif the property market, i am quiet interested in it myself...as we all noe, properties can only appreciate in value in the long term (scarcity of land), but atm...interest rate is playn a major role...plus ppl r sayn the market is going through a down turn in the business cycle and no one really noes how low it's gonna get, in addition wif the 1st of july deadline for new "investor's tax", i reckon the prices for close to 50k houses will vary greatly...
but even if it does fall, it's still impossible for a poor man lyk meself to buy a property, in fact i don't fink many current youth (i.e. 18-26) will b able to afford the initial payment on the loan of an avg priced house wif out help from their parents...sigh
as to the unemployment thingo....tat's rubbish...as long as there is a property market (which will always b the case) job numbers will however vary, but never deminish
