May’s meeting: Tues 20th May at 7pm
This month’s topic: Goal setting and staying motivatedLately we’ve covered many topics relevant to property investing, but this month we are going to get crystal clear about what our goals are, why they are the right goals for us, and how we are going to attain them, and learn some insider tips and secrets from our guest speaker Leanne Shea Langdown, from Achieve Beyond coaching. More on Leanne can be found here: http://www.achievebeyond.com/
Rather than drifting from deal to deal hoping it will bring you closer to financial freedom, or taking a ‘hot tip’ from a friend or following the pack to invest in the next property nirvana, this is an opportunity to learn how to make a clear decision about what you’d really like to achieve, consider the most effective path, and learn how to maintain motivation to get you there (the tricky part!)
This evening will assist you beyond your investing success. This is the chance for you to learn directly from a professional success coach and mentor about goal setting and motivation and apply these secrets of success to any area of your life!
As this month’s topic is applicable to any area of your life, please do bring a friend or three with you. The journey is always better when you have good friends to share it with :)
Hope to see you there,

Meeting date: Tues 17th June at 7pm
This month’s topic: Investing in USA, and Property OptionsThis month we are hearing from Dean McCormack, who has recently returned from the land of opportunity – the US of course.
He’ll be outlining his own personal strategy for starting to invest in the US residential market, and will demonstrate how he is getting net returns of 15%+. Dean will be talking us through how he built his current portfolio over the past two months that will provide him with $15k pa net cashflow.
Dean will also discuss the important details, key contacts overseas and differences between the US and Oz markets. Anything you might want or need to know about investing in the US, Dean has just come back and is happy to share what he’s learned and share how others might get started in the US market.Secondly, Dean will be covering property options this month. Specifically, why is an option different to simply buying the property and why use it? He’ll go through the advantages and disadvantages of using an option and look at making money using short term options.
There’s a lot to cover, plus I have a stack of magazines to share this month! Gold coin entry please.
Bring a notepad, pen, a friend to share the learning with, your coffee mug, and see you there!

August meeting: Tuesday 19th Aug, Civic Library 7pm
We resume our monthly meetings with a focus on getting the fundamentals right.
This month we’ll be hearing from one of our own attendees who has been studying furiously into the techniques used by ‘hotspotting’ gurus. Serena will share with us her findings, allowing you to leverage off her insights from months upon months of analysis. She’s been picking apart the background assumptions and methods, and we have a great opportunity to get the inside scoop without all the hard work. Kind of like reading the executive summary and not having to write the report!
Serena will be addressing some key issues that run through our minds as investors:
Ever wondered when to buy property and when to sell?
How to predict where a property market is heading, using a system that is 90+% accurate
Discover myths that distract investors and what are the true market drivers
Learn how to maximise your capital gainsDon’t miss it – your future self will thank you for it (Marty McFly style, for those who get the reference :))
As normal, please BYO coffee mug and a gold coin for entry. I have some property investing magazines for those who are first in, doors open just before 7pm. And don’t forget your coat!See you there,
Claire-

ACT meeting: Tues 21st October, 7pm at Civic library (next to Canberra Theatre)
We are thrilled to have John Chamberlain from Lexmerca Lawyers to help us understand all things conveyancing. What actually happens on settlement day? You end up with a cheque or a set of keys, and this ‘settlement’ process just happens… sometimes things go wrong but what actually goes on? And what can we do to help the process go smoothly? No one likes the pain of paying penalty interest when things are delayed! John will demystify the settlement process and answer any questions that come to you.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet a very talented local professional, and learn about the legal side of property transactions!
We will have networking afterwards, so please bring a coffee mug (foam cups are eluding me) and a gold coin for entry.
Please share with your friends who are looking to buy or sell their own home, this opportunity to hear from John is a unique chance to learn about a process that applies to non-investors too!John’s website with contact details: http://www.lexmerca.com.au

This month is the last of our meetings for the year. Which means it’s your last chance to come along and meet like-minded others! Please come along for a presentation on putting smart offers together to increase your chances of securing your next property. Our presenter is, well, me.
In my role as a Canberra Buyer’s Agent, it’s my job to ensure my clients have the best odds of having their offers accepted when they decide they’ve found the right place. I’ll be sharing a few tips and pointers I’ve learned along the years in the hope that it will assist you to present a strong offer when you’re next buying property.
More about me here: http://www.capitalbuyersagency.com.au
And you can find me on Facebook and other social media too.
As it is our last meeting for the year, we’ll be having some networking time accompanied by snacks and drinks. Our venue has given the a-ok for some wine and beers to be consumed on premises, so please bring whatever you’d like to drink and a small plate to share. Don’t worry if you forget, I’m sure there will be plenty to go around!
Hope to see you on the 18th for an informative evening followed by some festive cheer!
All the best,
Claire
