My experience is that people who do not plan there lives will often drift and fail

Thats not what I am saying my partner is fully licensed in the United States and provides a full turn key service however he things like an investor and is creative in how he gets properties. The average agent sells properties. Most of the marketing companies sell through a few so called wholesalers. However I would not go to an agent in Australia…[Read more]

It is important to deal with people who are investors not agents. Agents to a large degree see Australians as a soft target. I deal in Texas with a full time partner on the ground. Unless you are dealing with someone on the ground then do not invest there. Having the full service on the ground is essential for you success. Do your own research…[Read more]

frankly research is everything and without going to the states and seeing it for yourself you are playing with fire. I have been involved in the Texas market since 2005 and am based in Australia. I work with a very experienced operator who has been working on the ground for more than 5 years. When I first met him 3 years ago I took more than 6…[Read more]

We keep quite a few deals. The guy I deal with owns nearly 30 properties which are similar deals to what we promote.

If you are going to invest in the United States make sure that the people you are dealing with are on the ground and not just dealing with a wholesale company. For instance I deal in Texas and work with someone on he ground who has been doing deals for at least 5 years. In other words before the GFC. That means that all the back end services such…[Read more]

I have been involved in Texas but we are also directly involved in Property Development i n Australia. We do this by putting investors directly into development projects and thereby they share in the development profits. The returns are great and it means you are able to either make a cash return or acquire an investment at a genuine wholesale…[Read more]

We are not arranging seminars as yet but have a look at our website and see if it might be of interest. Happy to have a chat

Hi Aj
You do not need a financial planner. What I tell people however is that they need a lifeplan. In other words you need to look at what you want to achieve in all aspects of your life. If you dont plan how can you really make any decisions apart from those made on the run.

Planning your objective will help you work out want you want to…[Read more]

Perhaps you should take a look at our website. Because rather than just try and sell you a property we work with clients and teach them to make money. We also arrange to put clients directly into development projects and thereby allow them to make much of the development margin. This is the only way to get a property at a real wholesale…[Read more]

Perhaps as a starting point you should say who you are?
Even on your website not a name is mentioned.

I have done this a lot but never to cut the agent out of there commission. If you have the skills you can get a good deal. If you approach the vendor while an agreement is in place with an agent the agent is still legally entitled to his commission. If the vendor does this then they will be liable for legal action. If it was done at your selection…[Read more]

you should explore other options including consulting with a great broker i would suggest alistair perry http://www.perryfinance.com.au

I would be happy to have a chat with you about strategies

I think that Liquidity will remain tight over the next 12 months especially with a declining Europe. However I also think that creates clear opportunities across Australia. We buy development sites and put investors into the deals to become developers. Because developers are struggling to get funding we will be able to fund projects. In many parts…[Read more]

Sorry what it was meant to say is that most of my experience has been in Texas

Some markets in the United States are still falling. For instance Phoenex has fallen at least 8% and is expected to fall another 8% in the next 12 months, Atlanta 9.8%and Los Vegas 6.4%. Now there is a view that what does down has to come back up. In some cases I disagree. For instance Detroit prices are 30% less than they were in 2000. However…[Read more]

There is nothing wrong with dealing with a mentor. Or someone who has more knowledge than you

There is a huge difference between Real Estate agents and Investing. Also marketing companies are just there to sell you something. What you should also look for is experience. Deal with someone who will help you make money not just spend it there is a huge difference

hi i provide a mentoring service at the very least we could have a chat and i may be able to point you in the right direction.

I think that Mentoring is important. However it is important to have a mentor who helps you do the deals as well.
