I would take your time. There is no point rushing out to do anything. The market in NZ has slowed down, but that doesn’t mean there are no deals out there. It’s just harder to find them. I would spend a lot of time researching before you fly over there.
I hope you don’t only have this person’s name? I also hope you have some form of contract drawn up that says this person owes you money. If not, you may be in a bit of trouble.
I would suggest going to the Police station and making a report. The generally have the resources to search for people.
I am in a similar situation myself. Tenants are paying $130 which is below market rents in the area. They have agreed to pay $140, which is also below market rents. I don’t want to push any higher than this at this stage as I don’t want to risk having the home sit vacant.
Speak to your property manager and see what they say. Normally…[Read more]
No, I was referring to the Master Builders Association Building and Home Improvement Show. It’s on this weekend at Caulfield Racecource, in Melbourne (see the link I posted above).
If I was in Sydney, I’d go to the one you mentioned too.
You are only 1 week into your 3 months adventure. Give it some more time. I think in a few weeks time you will realise how boring it is living in a shoe box Personally I think being confined in a campervan from morning to night will do my head in. At least with normal accomodation, you can socialise with others tourists and sleep a…[Read more]
I got the same impression from this John guy. He pretty much said when you want to buy, we’ll arrange a meeting, I select a property, then he will then me everything and it will all fall into place… but he won’t tell me anything before then… Ummmm yeah no worries!
Yeah, I’ve known Westan for a while and know about his US operation well. The reason for contacting this guy in Sydney was purely out of curiosity, just to see what he was offering.

Apparantly (from what I have heard), there is no rich dad. I think it’s a little gimmick he uses portray his stories. As does Peter Spann… the ‘wealthy friend’ he is always referring to is actually a number of people who helped him get where he is today.
I attended one of Kiyosaki’s seminars last year in Melbourne. It’s not the coaching program you mention, but here are my thoughts on Kiyosaki. I think his books are great when starting out. I read a couple of his books in the begining which changed the way I see things. It made me realise that I don’t want to work till I’m old and that…[Read more]
I wouldn’t worry too much. You haven’t attended the seminar, nor have you provided your credit card details. It’s going to be a little hard for them to get money from you, unless you have signed something that has hidden costs in the fine print.
Am I correct in assuming that the seminar you attended in Sydney was the one organised by Westan? If that’s the case, you should state this in your post because it looks like people are jumping to conclusion.
If it wasn’t Westan’s seminar, then yes, I agree with g7 and Derek.
