Thankyou all for the links–I’ve printed off the articles and will use them to get the ball rolling in a final attempt for us to get our money back from NII.
I’m just disappointed they haven’t delivered what was promised in terms of service etc–I’d much rather be saving the $419.00 a month than putting it in their pocket.
HannahWouldn’t even try it—i know someone who received $14000 about 3 years ago—and she’s just recieved a letter now asking her to prove that she ever lived there. She never did but implied at the time that she did. It was only an investment.So now she will have to pay out…hopefully anyway!!
From my understanding you have to live in it for 6 months yourself to qualify for the grant or you have to move into in within the first year of owning it.
There is info you can access under nsw or appropriate state government sites all about the FHOG
Hope that helps
HannahMarc,
YOur website is fantastic!!! How long have you had this going? I too am a kiwi living in Sydney–about to relocate to brisbane for fiance’s promotion and we’ve been weighing up our choices in terms of taking advantage of the market there(Dolf de roos has said good things about South east Queensland as have lots of people) or buying back in NZ because its much more affordable. we let a couple of good deals go in Nz—one wasn’t positive but not far off. Anyway I’m looking forward to having a good look at your website.
Thankyou
Hannahi too would be very intrigued to find out how George did it–so george–we’re waiting.
were you a trust fund baby? were you left somethig substantial in a will or did you really have the motivation and determination to get out there and do it for yourself?! If you did, i too take my hat off to you—I always love a good success story—so when can I read your book?for the person asking about finders fees etc—-richmastery.com.au will give you access to ESC deals which are pretty well analyzed and are separted into positive cashflow or capital growth. You can register for their newsletter which will e-mail you all the latest deals.
Good Luck
Hannahhi Adam,
you said what many of us have been thinking. I agree there are people out there who don’t seem to realize that these things don’t come to them without a bit or alot of their own effort. If it required no effort to make money, we wouldn’t be buying books about it and we’d all be wealthy. [

Read my reply to martinw’s post under the title “book Review–I want a refund” currently on page 2/3. i thought it was a pretty good response to his criticism of Steve’s book.
hannahHi luckyone
From my understanding the e game available through pow wow is one that you play against the computer whilst the online version available from Rich Dad’s Website enables you to play with people allover the world–which would be great. I’m personally not all that keen on paying the US$16-26/month for access to his network as well as the US$99 for the game. I’ll stick to the board game I have.
Up to you though
hannahHi all,
My fiance and I were sucked into the whole deal with NII. We have been really disappointed. we’re not saying that what they have to say is not possible. I certainly can see how it is but we were lead convincingly to believe we would have a support person the whole way through which is a load of @#$%. They have been and more often than not from what we have heard through others, continue to be very unreliable. They do a whole sell scenario where they go and check with their boss to see whether he thinks you’re suitable for the course–as though you’re privilaged to be accepted and tell you that there is a 90%+ success rate and give the impression that its completely legit and government approved etc. Our last comment from our sign up consultant, Cass was “I look foward to working with you”—wouldn’t that leave you feeling pretty good! we really thought we were paying for a course and coach in one–we ended up paying $15000 for DVD’s. I attended one of the weekend workshops included that only I was allowed to go to. if my fiance was to go we would have had to pay for another person to do the course!! Anyway on the course–we were introduced to a company who sources new apartment deals for a fee aswell as another one who could sell us access to a due diligence search page at about $2000 a year. We just felt as though there were more costs everywhere we turned. Then there was the guy who runs a financial solutions business also for a fee. The depressing thing for us was that he was prepared to deliver everything we thought we were paying for with NII.
Anyway we paying for this course that has received so much publicity lately that we don’t want to admit to anyone we’ve done anything so foolish.
I really want to attend Steve McKnights course but as you could understand my fiance isn’t all that keen to spend any more money on seminars etc accept for the odd $60 here and there. Life is certainly a lesson at times.
DOn’t do it—save your money. i recommend spending the $15000 on heaps of tapes and books and seminars offered by the great property gurus like john Burley, Kiyosaki and Dolf De Roos etc etc….and Steve McKnight.
Hope that helps
HannahHi all–there’s always going to be a sceptic out there and it looks like we’ve found one of many. There’s always going to be deals out there–as Dolf de Roos says “The deal of a lifetime comes along once a week!” I believe this because I’ve done my research and have seen them for myself both in Australia and New Zealand.Realize that they’re never going to be handed to you on a plate–you have to do your own due diligence. Noone is going to tell you exactly where they’re buying now because they’ve done the work themselves–there’s no easy ride in life but lots of great advice if you’re prepared to accept it.
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE QUOTES IS:- WHETHER YOU THINK YOU CAN, OR YOU CAN’T YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!!
Freedom’s one is good too—Think outside the Square!–when it comes to investing that’s what we have to do now.
Lastly my other favourite thought is instead of ‘I can’t!!” think “How can I?”!!!!
All the best to those of you out there doing it rather than criticizing it. Thats just alot of wasted energy which could have made a sceptic some money!
Hannah
