how wrong your generalised comments are…..
It’s typical of people here that have a uni degree to justify obtaining a higher job role / salary because of this….. ABSOLUTE CRUD……….
Vice Chairman of a company I worked for started with NOTHING…. did not finish high school at all…. by last count 9 years ago he had a fleet of 4 ferraris, houses in South Africa, the US, and, Hong Kong… all 1 Mill + in value…..
How did he do it…. NOT IN SALES….. by working hard, having the drive to succeed…. not to show off any credentials…….
I have several other ex colleagues and bosses like this…..
and yes I work overseas…. I was hired by one of the top US firms from Australia, and earn a GOOD wage…. plus plus plus…. why ??? Because of my degree….. ARRRRGG… wrong answer,,,, NO… dont have one…. WHY ??? Because of my experience in both my field, and in business…..
Experience counts first…. You wanna see that first hand ??? come to Singapore, where all the little boys and girls are taught to be robots, and get a degree…… they are still next to useless…..
I’m sure there are exceptions to both side of the argument folks, but STOP THE GENERALISING…….

iambored….
WITH YOU on this one….
All of the wealthiest people I know, are all NON grads…. most didn’t even finish high school…..
Sad to say, some MBA’s i’ve seen rolling off the production line are CRAP….. I even had to show one how to pay his frickin telephone bill !!!
The world moves so fast nowadays….. hmm….. degree ??? no thanks…..

Dolf is a Kiwi…. so I guess he’s almost Aussie !!! hehehehe…..
The proposal for finance is quite good, and, the banks do like it…. we use something like that with our bank and they are HAPPY….

Agree with your tack to have scepticism when we learn about these seminars….. I do as well….
BUT… for some people whom we know reasonable info about, as long as the price is “reasonable” ( and that is the catch…. ) would it not still be worth it ??
( just wondering out loud here.. not trying to argue anything…… )
As an IT Slave.. it’s quite common for me to spend a couple of thousand $$$ to attend a 5 day course… I walk out with added knowledge….
I would assume the same for some seminars out there….. Frankly I was amazed a few months ago, when a huge debate about $1200 (?) for Steve’s seminar…. It’s the people that complain about the cost, that are the ones who never get off their butts and act on the info…..
For me, personally…. I’d do my homework on the speaker, before decided on going for the seminar…. Then I’d make damn sure I would get out there and practice ( if practical ) what i had learnt…..
Just a few thoughts……
Cheers

GIVE IT A REST………….
Is that impartial enough for you ??? I’m neither a moderator, nor do I know personally any of the moderators on this site, so, have no “side” to be standing on….
What I AM getting tired of, is you having dummy spits all the time…..
Free speech is fine… insults, mockery, threats are NOT…..
I do not know what it is with you and monopoly, and FRANKLY, MOST OF US DON’T CARE….
DEAL WITH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE….
we want to discuss property investing and the peripherals in a peaceful environment… I’m not saying we all have to get along here and be happy…. I’m saying KEEP IT CIVIL
I have not seen many of your posts, but obviously you are a mortgage broker…
Would love to hear some of your stories from the broker’s side, dealing with “us customers” and the banks…..
Sheesh.. enough said folks…. Move on… stop carrying on like little brats….

No, we did it as 1 deal….. let’s not get greedy now !!!
We did get our solicitor to draft up an agreement before we bought the place though…. 10k fee for the buyer, so there was no backing out once we bought the place…..
Guy is over the moon…. he’s moving his already successful cafe biz from down the road to the place… so here’s hoping…..
He wants to re-finance in 12 months which suits us just fine [biggrin]

http://www.pelican-invest.comThe key to coverd call options is finding the right balance ( i.e. the strike price )
We always made sure that even if we did get called in, we would make money on the deal….
If you are going to do this, YES, DEFINITELY go out and do the courses….
It’s not a hard thing to do, but experience tells us that you can’t expect income every single month you write an option, if it’s worth writing at all, at times….

Sad to see you still don’t get it…..
You are in a forum, with LOTS of experienced people all around you…. Yet, you don’t raise any questions about something you find so hard…..
When I first learned to ride a bike, I had someone there, helping me…..
We are here to help you…. if you ask……
If you are saying it’s too hard, and, dont want to ask questions, then maybe wrapping / property investing isn’t for you…..
I’m in constant contact with MANY newbies….. what makes them different from you ??? They asked questions, instead of giving up……
Here to help, as are others…. when you are ready to ask for it…..
Cheers
Scott
SF,
I don’t pass it off lightly…. We are wrapping constantly, and, truely find it easy…..
Suggest you wipe your behind, get off the toilet and go out there and start…..
Or, if you find some points confusing, then ASK…………….

Good luck….
Seems like the first agent did not perform the duties he was contracted to… and has a case to answer of his own…. dereliction of duty…..
If another agent comes along, and he don’t like it… he should be suing the agent, and, not you….
anyway…. seems like you have a good case to defend yourself…..
All the best… look forward to hearing a positive outcome for you…
Cheers

Hi Crest,
Well, our deal ended up being a straight wrap deal… obviously it’s 70/30 loan which hurts, but we do get a GOOD sized deposit from the buyer.
The place is 2 years old with a 2 br house attached… The guy is going to live in it, so it works out nicely for us…..
All in all quite a straight forward deal….
Your’s however sounds good too !!! good to see you thinking outside the box….. hope your vendor’s go for it……
I’d suggest if they are keen to buy, you best get them signed up first to make sure they don’t pull out…..
good luck !
Cheers

Getting back to the actual topic here G7….
It seems that the marketing people have dug your friend a hole…..
But as mentioned by Kay I think. didn’t he/she vet the marketing, before it went out the door ??
What probably got Jenman’s back up was the style of marketing….. he then stereotyped the person behind the marketing….
No surprises there with Jenman….
So…. where does that leave your friend ? Suggest he screams at advertising people, and, re-hash the whole campaign…. get away from the American style tactics…..
As far as Jenman is concerned…. Ignore the sod…. He’s only interested in his own press……
Maybe he should have a read of these…… :
http://www.reiv.com.au/media/eaarticles/pg_media_eaarticles_jenman.htm
or this :
http://www.reiv.com.au/media/eaarticles/pg_media_eaarticles_wheresjenman.html
Isn’t it funny how the press ignores these…… Maybe ACA should do a story on Jenman…… DOH !!!!
Scott
Darren,
Yep, FHOG + Hurt $$$…..
But if you want to stay out of the market, leaving more for us, thats fine by some of us !!! [lmao] ( just kidding [laughing] )
Again…. RISK MANAGEMENT is your key issue….. Not saying jack up prices or anything like that…. I’m saying if you follow your systems, ensuring people can easily afford the payments, and, they are OK people…. then you manage quite nicely…..
Experience plays a good part in this…. as you know…..
