Hi Chris,

A few people to the forum went along to one his lunchtime free introductory sessions in Melbourne.

Have a read about people’s thoughts here https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1316

You want the latest update?? Huh? Huh?

OK, here it is.

Steve’s book is 99% of the way there. It’s been written, edited, and is now being typeset so that it can go into print.
The front cover is being finalised right now, and we’re counting down the days until the first copies hit the shelves on August 1st, 2003 – barely 44 days away.

No word…[Read more]

Hi Essykay,

WealthGuardian is now up and ready for you in the resources section.

Hi jubeiREI,

Good question on the .com issue.

The short answer is it’s because of our international appeal.

Although the information we provide is fairly Australia-centric, we have a huge amount of members from outside of Australia. At our last seminar, we had people coming from all over Oceana and the Asia-Pacific region.
We have members from…[Read more]

Great Work Red Card!

It’s awesome to hear about your success. I hope this is just the start of something much bigger for you.

Keep it up!

Hi Sunni,

I ran a quick search on RealEstate.com.au and found these 200+ properties between $90-120k in Queensland. No doubt there’s a great deal in there somewhere.

As for Ipswich, I’ve heard from a few people that it’s getting harder and harder to find great deals up there. Prices are up, and yields are down.

But if you can’t find positive…[Read more]

No idea Felicity. I guess the only way to find out is to get Steve to send away for his credit report.[]

He does stick to 80% LVR loans though.

The seminar which I was talking about was his original wrap seminar from a couple of years ago (I was listening to the recording recently).

Sorry I can’t help you on this one.

Hi Rachel,

Lets see if I can answer some of your questions.

quote:
In your seminar on obtaining unlimited Finance my take on this was that if you are structured right as a company trust that you are only going garentor on the loan and it goes on your personal income.

Yep, essentially that’s it.

As for credit record searches and enquiries – I…[Read more]

Hi Lizzie,

I was doing the same thing this weekend just past.

The way I did it was I went to real estate agents and asked them two questions. They were “How many rental properties do you manage?” and “Can I please grab a copy of your current rental list” (The please is very important)

What I was able to see from this information was the types…[Read more]

Hi Stretch,

You probably can’t see it from where you’re standing, but we’re under the PropertyInvesting.com hood right now installing some turbo-charged new features.

One of those features is an upgrade to the forums which will allow members to do pretty much everything you said in your post.

I just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion – and…[Read more]

Sounds like you’ve got yourself a plan. What’s your next step? To find a region which fits your criteria, then look for a good buyers agent in the area?
Take action and go for it!

You might consider grabbing a copy of Fast-Track. It talks about how Steve McKnight and David Bradley chose their niche area, and began investing.

One thing which…[Read more]

Hi Leigh,

Sorry about taking so long to notice your post in here.

I don’t see why you couldn’t start a post where people introduce themselves. After all, we designed PropertyInvesting.com to be an online community of property investors – not another property investing web-site.

So long as everyone plays by the forum rules, you can post what you…[Read more]

Hi Kristoffer,

Yes, there are bird-doggers out there – people who go out and search for properties, and pass some (or all) of these properties on to other people for a fee. This is often called ‘flipping’, but various regulations and law changes have made it more and more difficult to do.

There is also a type of Real Estate agent which can do…[Read more]

lol – Fair point.

The problem is, when we put something out on tapes, people ask for CD’s – when we put it out on CD’s, people ask for tapes.

Then why choose tapes?

1) They’re the lowest common denominator (ie – almost everyone still has a tape player – and if they don’t, it’s fairly cheap to pick up a walkman)
2) They’re easier to produce.
3)…[Read more]

Okay… I’ll see about making it available early this week.

Hey Guys,

Fair point with the issue of questions being previously answered. I can see both sides of the coin though.

When we get the new, upgraded forums, we’re able to put up ‘sticky notes’ – posts which essentially stay at the top of the forums. Perhaps the first sticky note should be a welcome message, followed by some tips on getting the…[Read more]

The short answer is no.

Sounds like you’ve been gazumped.

Verbal contracts aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Until the vendor accepts a formal written offer and signs a contract of sale, the property is essentially still on the market.

I guess your choices are;

1. To either persue the property – you may end up in a bidding war, or it…[Read more]

Hi jempire,

There are a couple of sites around. I remember http://www.residex.com.au/ was mentioned at the seminar, and I think the other one was http://www.rpdata.com.au/

Also, check out the PropertyInvesting.com links page – particularly the sites under the “Facts, Figures & Statistics” section.

I hope this helps

Warm Regards

Hi Steve
The game went a long way in helping overcome a number of fears in just getting out there and doing it. Roleplay is a wonderful way of experiencing life in safety.
