When I sent them an email recently, I had a phone call from Spiro to follow up within a couple of days (which I thought was good – actually, I didn’t have initial high expectations about getting any response at all!).
A key thing that seems to be missing in these forum answers is that Spiro said that the properties that are displayed on the website are EXAMPLES only, often already sold (although some are still available), and intended to give the visitor to the site the ‘flavour’ as to what they have available in their folio. The really good ones, and the ones still for sale, and the ones that, apparently, they will actively source for you once you pay the subscription, are only available once you have actually paid the subscription. There are new deals coming in daily, that you will never see on the website.
I am time poor. I earn more per hour than I wish to put into learining <every single detail> about property investing that I would want to learn before I act. In other words, I fully believe in 110% due diligence and research, however I am prepared to pay a premium for an expert to do some of this for me. If Cahsflowcapital can offer this (and I don’t know yet that they can), then I’m prepared to stonrgly consider using their service. Just because you don’t do everything yourself, doesn’t mean that somehow the deal isn’t a good one. Perhaps this method is even smarter than those who decide to do everything themselves?Afterall, even Steve McK says that you should surround yourself with a good team, not just be a one-man band. Why shouldn’t this team include a buyers agent such as these guys? I will always cross-check their recommendations, but if they can do the bulk of the ‘grunt’ work for me, to me that just sounds efficient and smart?????
As far as their commission goes, I reckon there is a fair chance that you would end up paying less overall if they acted on your behalf than you would by buying through a traditional agent. At the end of the day, you are still in control, so you wouldn’t sign anything unless you had squared it away.
Finally, you could always trial the purchase of a ‘small’ place through them to start with, and see how it all worked out. No need to spend six-figure sums off the bat…
I’d be keen to hear from someone who is actually a member, and has bought properties through them, and how they are going, than further speculation from non-subscribers. In other words, some testimonials from a source other than their website.
Any volunteers (please)?
