No problem.
We decided not to go ahead about 2 minutes after they left after the meeting.
It was late-ish last year that we had the meeting.

I'm surprised they haven't been in contact with you much – that is worrying. Have you sunk much in to it yet?

Definitely understand the earning of trust but my financial situation is quite delicate and this could definitely put us on tilt if it did not go well.

The risk was too dangerous at the time.

I believe the concept of the book was somewhat of a gimmick. However, I pray that is not the case.

Do you talk with Steve much about other things?

Thank you Michael

That's a good point – the asking whether it covers those outside their portfolio.

I would hazzard a guess at "no" but I hope that's not the case.

Was wondering if there was any more feedback about this?

Would love to hear from Fiona H some more to get some better insight.

Thanks!

Thanks mate. Have you gone any further or is it on afterburners until he fills all the spots?

Are you at all apprehensive or skeptical?

I understand how they make their money out of it all (nothing in life is free, after all). But I'm still a bit worried I suppose.

I guess we'll see how the talk with him in person goes first.

Awesome – glad to hear.

What is your understanding of how the process works?

Hey Ravi,

I find myself in a situation similar to you. A lot of people will find it hard to understand where you want to go at your age. I'm sure you've read Kiyosaki's books… it isn't something we are taught at a young age!

What your parents said about going to Uni isn't a bad idea though — like JacM said, that piece of paper is what will allow you to be 'qualified' to work in a higher paid job.

I think some of the suggestions by Kent – that is, getting in to the property industry somehow – is something that you should look in to. Basically, without a decent income you aren't going to be able to deem yourself eligible to service loans anyway so, that should be your primary concern at the moment as well as trying to reasearch!

Hey Fergus

I have just started my journey towards being a property investor and am very much starting to research intensely into areas / places of interest

From what I have gathered, through my own research, and the words of some more seasoned investors, these sort of deals don't just 'crop up'…

It is all about being creative with your investment strategy and your solutions that you bring to the table. Being pro-active in letting agents/sellers know what you're looking for. Going to lengths greater than just looking at realestate.com.au

Fact is, people do sell below market value, for whatever reason that may be. You just need to know where to look and you need to be proactive about finding those deals.

When I get closer to buying my first property (i.e. have enough capital to start putting overs out), I will be blogging about it with almost complete disclosure – i.e. what I thought of places etc etc.

Hope this helps!
