Awesome thread and its great to see a healthy discussion as a fair amount of money is changing hands on the promise that it would assist real estate students achieve specific real estate goals.

I've been to Mark Rolton's free day seminars in Brisbane & Gold Coast in Oct/Nov 2013 and found them informative. I however did not sign up for the 12-Month Coaching Program because I wanted a bit of time to think it all over as well as assess their value proposition (cost/benefit)

Also at the Brisbane seminar I had a chat to one of Mark's Portfolio Managers regarding an existing rental property that I have and the chance that they could rent it through their property management arm. She said that they would guarantee it's rent if it did not rent after the first week of them taking over as managing agents. I felt this was awesome as it would give me the peace of mind regarding vacancies and rental cash flow. I sent her an email and followed up with another email after a week. She came back to me saying she was on holidays. and would get back to me in a week. Its been 3 weeks now and haven't heard from her. 

I did a google search on Massland and stumbled on this thread today. I signed up and I must say despite being keen to learn Property Options, JV's etc I now have doubts that Mark & his business are the team to do it with.

I consider to have an above average understanding of property as we are currently going through council to get DA to demolish/develop & BA to build. Its a steep learning curve and have to put in the hours to browse council websites, speak to town planners, get countless surveys done etc. It would be great to have a procedure manual or mentor to guide you through.

Am thankful to threads like this and people on here who share their opinions as the property game is littered with pit falls.

Good luck to all and do your home works guys .. no substitute to hard work .. but be smart about it ..
