I’ve received the sales letter & CD (interview with the 2 guys who are presenting this one-off event) from Break Free Events about this weekend seminar. And I have also downloaded the 2nd interview from http://www.worldinternetwebcast.com/
As a marketing & sales professional for over 20 years now (boy does time fly…), I would highly recommend this event if you can get to the Gold Coast. This is definitely no scam.
Ghost writing publications is a perfectly legal way to get a job done. Do you think Ita Buttrose writes every single article in her magazines? Or does Donald Trump mix the concrete & hammer every nail in his Trump constructions?
Ghost and/or freelance writing is done for many books (especially business or technical books), magazines, etc. It’s an effecient and very profitable way to get a job done on budget and on time.
Just like when it is best to pay a tradesperson to do a rennovation on your IP, than waste too much time trying to do everything yourself.
When you go to http://www.worldinternetwebcast.com/ , click on the archives link & search for the two interviews conducted by Brett McFall with Ed & Frank. The first one they did in June has most of the nuts & bolts of the business model in there. So if you are like me & can’t make the event, there is enough information to research & get the business off the ground.
I am seriously researching it and have checked out the web sites they mentioned for the various services to get your market research, product & site up & running.
And the returns seem a lot better than property at the moment….
and with far les risk. But hey, I’m not knocking property, as there are many opportunities there as well.If you do go, I would love to hear how it went. And let me know if you need any more help.

“You Only Live Twice”Don’t warry too much about the “ethics” of low-balling. Because in reality ethics doesn’t come into it. All you are doing is putting in an offer in a free democratic market.
If they accept your low offer fine. In not, they counter-offer or refuse to deal with you outright (that’s their ego getting in the way).
You are not ripping anyone off if you low-ball. As the purchase of real estate in Australia involves a legally binding contractual arragement, you are not dealing with minors or people of unsound mind (in most cases
). Nor you are not applying coercion or duress. If any of the preceeding conditions apply the contract would most likely be null & void anyway.ALSO, in reality, most vendors in this crazy market could be seen as ripping off purchasers anyway. I see this happening often now in land sales when I try to do House & Land packages for my clients. In fact, several vendors have purchased a traditional size block in an estate from the developer for only $80-90,000 in earlier this year. Then in October/November have been reselling it for $160,000!!!!
Where are the ethics in that?!!!
So don’t feel bad about lowballing. As a property investor (just like a share trader), in order to make any profit, you must keep your emotions (& ego) out of the deal. Plus you should ALWAYS buy at wholesale & sell at retail!
Treat this like a profession, as a proper business. And only let the emotions come out when you “come home (to your family) with the bacon”.
Good luck & Merry Christmas,
David
P.S. BTW the extra profit you make not only adds to your coffers, but also could go to those more needy!!!
Why not start a charity foundation for homeless or abused kids with those great wholesale prices & profits you make from low-balling???

“You Only Live Twice”Hey Mike,
Where were you sitting at the auction last night?
I was near the front row on the far RHS.
Are you the guy with the moustache (bidding #A8), or his friend, who were sitting nearly behind me? If so, remember I said hello, & I’ve seen you at the other auctions.
I just saw the MB catalogue & the auction time is 3pm on Thursday. As a Sterling Homes sales consultant I don’t have any display home committments that day. And I should make it home in time to babysit the kids while my wife does the shopping that night.
So I’d be happy to post the sale prices if I go.
I’m not sure if Elders will disclose the sales prices after the auction before settlement. Funny system hey? You can attend an auction & see what a property sells for. But the agent can’t tell you afterwards. [
!]BTW what prices did the Riverland ones go for?
Cheers,
David Paxton
“You Only Live Twice”Liviwell,
Just take note though – although the numbers look good, they may be hard to rent out quickly. One property manager told me vacancy rates are about 2-3%. But you must buy in the right parts of the town.
Check out Elders RE for any country auctions.
Weston,
I didn’t get this guy’s name, but he would be an Italian, 30’s, balding and builds carports & sheds for a living. He spent a week in the town working from dawn to dusk putting in carpets, carports & tiling.
He said that the painted walls were OK, but they didn’t bother sanding the architraves & skirtings before painting, so it can easily peel off. Must be govt cost cutting! [
!]The ones at this auction mainly were freshly painted with polished timber floors. But probably need work in the wet areas as usual.
Are you in Adelaide too?
Cheers,
David Paxton
“You Only Live Twice”P.S. Oh by the way, Tassie is looking good.
Just been searching here tonight. Many properties found under $50k. Some daggy, and some looking very good – at least on the digital photos anyway (but I can’t imagine any would be doctored would they?
).Cheers,

“You Only Live Twice”Ez-rent,
Great to see you on this forum!
Here is my problem installing your program on Win95B.
1. The file is opened for installation. It goes through nearly the whole process. Then just near the end I get the following message/dialogue box:
“An error occurred while registering the file C:WINDOWSSYSTEMmsxml3.dll”
Abort/Retry/Ignore buttons.I hit retry several times & still get the same message. SO I hit Ignore & it finishes the installations & tells me it was done successfully.
2. I go to open Ez-Rent in the Start menu, & get the splash screen then the following dialogue box:
“Run-time error ‘429’:
ActiveX component can’t create object.”
OK buttonWould love to run your program. But might have to wait until I get my new laptop – unless you have a solution…..[
]OzpatinQ8,
Could you please email it to [email protected]
Thanks. I hope t doesn’t exceed my email quota. Otherwise do you have a website or ftp directory you could upload it to for download?
Cheers,
