    Are there any organised meetings amongst private investors in Canberra wanting to learn from others experience and to encourage each other?

    Cheers

    I know that Prime Property have info nights/seminars, as does Wize Investments.

    I think a Canberra get together by forunites would be a good idea as well…

    Ant ideas on venue and date?[suave2]

    Steve

    Sound like you want to start a group. For this group to be successful we need someone with a reasonable amount of experience in the private investor real estate business. That’s not me. Do we have anyone that fits this category that’s interested in getting together a group in Canberra?

    In terms of location, it could be at someones house or at a coffee shop or restaurant if numbers are small.

    In terms of date and time, I await a response in terms of interest from somone ‘experienced’ in the business we’re in.

    Cheers

    I would also be interested in meeting! I would prefer southside, but if not possible, then anywhere would do.

    Cheers,

    Neil,
    I think you make a valid point, but even if we are all newbies having a group to bounce ideas off is still invaluable.

    Hi Steve,
    It looks like you may be the organiser. Can you please let me know when your first meeting will be? I am setting up a company with family in Canberra and I could send them along to get educated. They can discuss our deals too. We are in Perth so its a bit far …
    Thanks

    Is this offer on for any Sydney siders?

    Hey all,

    There’s already a property investors group that meets monthly in Canberra and has done for several years.

    In fact we had a decent sized gathering last Sunday to play Cashflow. In March we had a speaker talking about the Queensland market & next month we have a dinner planned (date to be confirmed).

    We tend to get up to around 50 people to a meeting, depending on the content – for the last cashflow game we had about 20 people, to last month’s presentation we had 50.

    We alternate meetings South and North to permit as many people as possible to attend.

    Note this is a group organised by volunteers (who are investors) for property investors – it’s not like Wise or other groups organised to sell you something.

    We’re a very social group & always welcome new people.

    If you want to be on the mailing list for events contact Ed Nixon ([email protected]).

    Either Ed or I will put an announcement of the next meeting (the dinner) with all details on this forum in the next two weeks.

    This doesn’t mean that PI people shouldn’t organise their own group however!

    Can whoever ends up volunteering to run the gatherings please email Ed or message me so we can co-ordinate the events for both groups to give people an opportunity to attend both gatherings :)

    Cheers,

    Aceyducey

    How many Canberra people on this Forum have played Cashflow? When I read Rich Dad Poor Dad about 2 years ago it seemed to be a fantastic concept. I never bought the game myself, and am interested to see it mentioned here.

    What’s it like?

    Cheers,

    acmain,

    The group I’m involved with is an investor-run group (by volunteers) who don’t sell nutting to nobody! We get together for socialising & mutual support plus some education through good speakers when we can arrange them. Read my last post again.

    Cashflow is a good game, it balances fun, speed and education nicely IMHO – as I said in my last post we had 20 people to a meeting playing it last weekend.

    Cheers,

    Aceyducey

    Hi guy’s,

    My wife and I bought cashflow after attending a RK seminar in Sydney.

    The game definatly has a great potential for learing. I’m in Canberra so I’ll be putting my name down on that list as well.

    See you there[exhappy]

    Hey guys

    For info – Prime Property have an office located in the Waldorf hotel in the city. They advocate a LOT (perhaps only?) of serviced apartments (Quest run ones etc.), and one of the ‘recent’ developments I saw them promoting heavily was the Aurora apartments in Brisbane – some massive tower with 100’s of apartments. They used to advertise a bit, don’t know if they do now….

    Cheers
    Mel
