Check with the Dept of Fair Trading
This company is based on the Central Coast of NSW ( Gosford ) with an apartment address. The lease is with a third party- a local solicitor- and I have heard that they are currently under investigation. These people are not real estate agents, nor do they hold any licences to deal in real estate. When I had enquired about a web site I was told that the director of the company was “old fashioned” and this was also the impression I had when I looked at a photocopied booklet of available properties. I was also lead to believe that the tenants are centrelink clients- this would explain the maintence deal but it all seemed a bit odd- who makes money? where are you in the food chain? Just my thoughts.
I did the intensive course- 1 full day each week of lectures for approx 10 months plus then time at home to complete all the assessment tasks(min 10hrs) while working in the industry full time – apart from the downside of being expensive and time consuming the best outcome for myself is that it reinforced the fact that the only thing I was really interested in was property investment!
I have completed the Diploma in Business ( Real Estate Management ) course that the NSWREI runs, good course with professional presenters. Why do you want to do it? To apply for a Real Esate license with the Dept of Fair Trading you also need to have worked in the industry for 2 years.
