Haha. Whining hey. I Think you need to get over your self.
Dont think you understand the concept of due diligence kking. If you did you wouldnt be ignorant to the simple fact that im gathering information for both sides of the arguement.. Only a fool(or gambler) jumps in without due diligence.. again correct me if im wrong
ps thanks to all those that gave an account of there all experiences in the R.E.S.U.L.T.S program.much appreciated
boshy. not about me champ. this post was designed(long time ago i almost forgot about it) for the many people(trust me mate there are a few) that are super keen but want due diligence in some form.
apart from being smart. Number one rule of property. ..due diligence. Which encompasses all aspects of property. Not just buying. Correct me if im wrong.
Congrats Erin. Thats the kind of info i was after. Great to see someone succeeding in life. Does the course fit the current financial climate? is it outdated do you think or definitely stil valid for a beginner. Cheers
nothing wrong with being skeptical… Being cynical now thats something else…
One thing ive noticed since i first posted was seeing steve in action through a seminar. He portrayed himself as being very ethical and a all round great guy (not that i know him of course but keep up the good work if your watching steve!)
My beef is with the content of the course and its validity . People are hypnotized with his covers "0 – 130 in 3years" and "positive cashflow" this and that.
most people know positive cashflow properties don't really exist anymore. if you believe in a needle in a haystack then sure there are opportunities.
Again the post is just about the content of the course and its validity. Id happily pay twice the admission if a steve could promise the courses validity.which i think he does so there goes that argument!
and yes you are right! hes not forcing me and i should be greatful such a great opportunity exist…dont worry i got the memo(and yes i read it)
hi mate, just thought id let you know before someone else does
theres no such things as a positively geared IP. ..but If you prescribe to the the notion that there is a needle in a haystack then sure they exist. Im guessing you just read steves book and got all giddy about it. like i did when i first read it.
time sure has flown since then. If you do find that needle good on ya.not many can.even on here
I believe every single bit of advice or information have meaning. You can look at it for what it is or you can reframe it and see something you wouldnt normally see. opening myself up allows me to see all the angles. Good and Bad. which as i see it is good.
As i was saying. I probley wouldnt listen to scamps ideas but would definately absorb them. Similar to the US elections if theres a superdelegate in here(Which it seems are you guys) then il take orders from those higher above
So it looks like il be doing exactly what you tell me. As you command.Im joining R.E.S.U.L.T.S and going to Burswood(the suburb not the Casino) …bugger cause i really like that casino too. Anywho. See you there. Anything else…bring a pencil?
meakinmaster60. You have a good point. and your a amazing age. yip you guessed im the same.. as for my choice well all i can say as you would definately is that im no dummy.
Been in building and construction all my working life.Have a Diploma in business. Have certificates in psychology and human behaviour. and a Bachelor of Arts Majoring in Media.
Just decided to have fun while doing this. But at the same time have a plan B if anything should go wrong. Like every person on this forum…
So if you say i shouldnt invest now then i wont..When rougly do you estimate? As another order mate il get right onto Craig Turnbulls stuff ASAP.(whoever that is) sure il find out quick
Im still taking orders so the guarantee on this post is still valid! Can i ask are you still in the RESULTS program? Like everyone here that hasnt done Steves glorous program is wondering.. is R.E.S.U.L.T.S program R.E.A.L.L.Y any good. sorry to ask a question that no doubt has been asked 100s of times but it seems there no clear answer to a long program
Anywho. on the first order il do right awaY!
Cheers Scamp. So rent not buy yet? Well im renting now. When do you say i should buy?
hmmm plan…thanks squeaker. Plan is to get a house and make some moneymoneymoney moooney mooooneeey(gotta love that intro song for Donald trumps show the apprentice!) … seriously tho the plan is the best plan of someone else. Trying to mimic here instead of being an individual. Investor im guessing there squeaker_d since i wanna make it large in this game.
Just had a look at the new offer from Steve and the venue was only for sydney. If only perth was on the list. Im hoping they look into taking the seminar outside of the eastern states!
and mathew73 i did exactly what you said and i think i found a place matching your criteria…how far from a train station are we talking exactly, and yip its a crap box to…. guess il go do what mal said now….cheers.will report back
Ok.well you said it mathewc73 so looks like i gotta do it. Sir yes sir Ill research your orders mate.
Ill get back to you and see if they match your requirements. Unless of course others think your reason have no merit. In any case i go do it asap and report back here
Your right i could have all sorts of nutters but im positive that forum members would rip the nutters a new one if they could see it was bad advice.
As for doin research and cutting thru the chaff well that would be a very sensible thing to do. But being sensible aint no fun so im just goin to be a indian here a do what the chiefs tell me to do. word for word.
Scott No Mates the details are Savings – 20,000. Direction in life – Go into business within 3years. Ive gotta make more money so my girlfriend can spend it faster(her words not mine)
– Property im looking at is a crap box with 876 squares 27mins drive to perth.Would like to follow the development line of things but then again only if im told.
looks like your out gunned and out numbered j.d. but i sympathize with you to a certain extent. You treasure your surroundings and you have a prefabricated(to you), attachment of how things should be. This is just normal for EVERYONE tho. I do say should because we all know that real home owners(house you buy for the sole reason to live in) buy homes for there location AND what that location offers to them personally… so your buying into the whole vibe of the area.
its just to bad that that piece of the pie cant be kept or controlled to your liking. But the kicker is that everyone else is buying around you for the exact same reasons.Location and what that offers to them. There exact reasons are probably different but the core of it all is the same.
Nobody denied you your home. Why should you deny them. And home(the whole pie…yip you guessed it i obviously like pie) is what a person makes it. It just happens to be different from your overall idea of what it should be
Not an expert in property but saw the examples that you gave such as lakemba.. lakemba is a dump of epic proportions. I should know i lived there. I would have to say its 80percent (no joke) muslim/arabs and 20 percent other. I dont see that changing at all in the next 5 or so years unless developers change the landscape a bit.
From an investment point of view i suppose if the figures stack up why not. But i gotta say its a dive and ive lived in some shoddy places.Maybe you could look to the outskirts of lakemba and market the property under a different suburb for whatever reasons.
You might want to wait for the next 2 maybe/probable rate rises in the first 6months of 2008 and look for properties foreclosing. Its a fact that there will be record foreclosure levels if the predicted rate rises come.bad for many.good for some i suppose
I wouldnt spend $5000 on a car and its wrong to assume that all cars lose value. "no matter what" as you say. Google GTHO ford phase 111 and youl understand what i mean.
my primary secondary and university cost very little by comparison to most in australia… From NZ myself (sure seems like everyone is these days) But i understand where it is your coming from..
Cheers Jebro for giving the a REAL rounded answer. For those who "fell by the wayside" after doing the course.. do you believe they should be entitled to a small refund??
Many things can happen to people within a year that may or may not enable them to continue such as ill health. Are there provisions for those who cannot participate 100% of there efforts..thereby hampering there result… which in turn places them "by the wayside"?
Thanx also tammy for pointing out that there are "no guarantees" but dont you think its weird of a person to take ALL of the responsibility if nothing is achieved. By doing so you exempt those who delivered you the service. I think boshy888 go it exactly right
any form of education depends on at least 50% of the student's frame of mindset, motivation and commitment. Having seen the naturally gifted students end up with poor to mediocre results and yet the slow learners end up with the best results ,I know that the outcomes usually depend on the individual, although the aptitude of the teacher and the quality of the course content also plays a significant role.
Thanks to all. Ive just read steves 3rd book and think its great. I just hate(maybe thats a bit much…anyone1 know a nicer word for hate lol??) self promotion. Its like Steve is constantly talking in a third perspective when he relentlessly relates things back to the R.E.S.U.L.T.S course. People only do that in order to sound as if whats being said is coming from another person. An in-derict way of talking about yourself. . . in this case talkin himself and the R.E.S.U.L.T.S course up.blatantly.
and calling an equity based formula in your own name…whats up with that… Steve we know your good, even great. but modesty isnt your forte.. real estate and helping others is tho and i commend you for it. Cant say ive had an impact on as many people so greatly, so yes. good stuff
Just about to start on michael yardney books. anyone know a good book on negative gearing??
Thanks okka, yea i understand what is possible from the course, but as you say IF. Good luck to you in your journey
Well unlike some(better positioned) im gonna have to take the course in 2009 if i do go ahead with it. Maybe not yourself shelliemaye, but good on you for giving it a go. Hope you dont mind if i ask you of your journeys in time
I believe the theme throughout the forums is to "give it a go"
Ive studied business ethics for years and know that themes like "give it a go" "nothing ventured nothing gained" etc etc are things that are employed by gurus all the time to push people, for good or bad while never ever giving some guarantee. Even a smidgen of some small guarantee.(which isnt much to ask) That would be the no1 reason i choose the ACTUAL voice of the PEOPLE over that of the preacher(even tho im positive hes a top bloke)
Word of mouth marketing at its pivotal best.
itl take me a while to gather the required amount to even think about it. Even then i would have to be "accepted" by his truly the almighty Steveo (hope you dont mind if i call you that steve)
Guess the amount would be enough to drive me if nothing else.
Also to hutch.Thanks and Yea i understand no gun around. The only argument is the promise of something. You pay x amount of dollars(which i can understand is a bargin…to some) but at the end there is person who A)..gave it a great shot…a really great shot(based on guidelines).and came away with a DEFICIT.. Will steve offer a cash back return if nothing comes of it? of course decided by lets say this forum
Lets say 3500…surely thats not much too ask. I can definitely see how my conversation looks. Guess i really do rely heavily on the outcome over others, hence my call to those who fill the description of Gen Y/blue collar who may have participated in some form.
All in all the fanboys can argue that i should be grateful that such an opportunity exist. Transparency(especially when theres no guarantee) is the killer here when such high fees are required i guess. But again thats if you earn the median wage(or under)
Plus i take the good with the bad to make real life choices hence my call for those who appeared on today tonight. It gives people the chance to do a real assessment. Like some agents(no not all or even most) it shouldnt just highlight best features, and possible outcomes. make clear the risk involved. Theres so much telling us whats great(which is really really good obviously…i mean whats the point otherwise, i know)
Think ive said enough for now. Dont worry im actually a positive thinker.Believe it or not.im just got a real soft spot for the consumer outcome. OVER protector you could say. but yea thanks for the view.well taken
The position would be that i am an established (proven paper trail) investor with x amount of bankable dollars/assest. If i was with lets say ANZ. and the loan in default was with anz. Im sure an agreement could be matched that would allow me to continue the loan all things considered.
Ill be research this thoroughly. Even testing the theory within the next 6months
Yeah i actually read it wrong. which is worse because its over 5000!!! and thats the bloody special!!!! Geez thats a BIG call for anyone no matter who they are.
I can definitely put things into perspective but at that price you have to have a written guarantee to something…anything…at all.am i right?
Rhetorical question of course, because if you pay full price 7500 THOUSAND dollars your still suppose to be getting a GREAT deal. AND AND…. you have to have $10000 in capital to be "involved"
thats almost 20,000 you need before you even have a look at the damn course!!! Can anyone in this whole forum who earns the median Australian wage tell me they HAVE what it takes to take steve seriously on those charges.
Ive read of people who have failed through steves guidance(think today tonight) .Are they available to comment on this forum??
Im not here to go against steve. I like his books alot. Now that i know how much his courses cost thats is!! Im sure people will say that what you achieve is immeasurable, but there can be NO guarantee at all that anything will be achieved. I wouldnt go in there to achieve nothing of course but stil, with that attitude(i can do it) that stil wont guarantee nothing from steve. am i right?
Seriously though i believe im entitled to a well rounded answer/s to this forum considering the sheer amount of cash thats required of it. So im gonna track those who have taken the course and those who appeared on today tonight and voice my conclusion
Would you or anyone else be willing to sell there masterclass pack? im obviously a bit of a tight ass so im gonna try at least.
is that a fact or an assumption? cant understand why banks/lenders would be so much different than those in australia. I might ask more of it from banks mitigation departments and see if can be what happens. I can see how difficult it would be but dont see why it couldnt happen.
But can i reinstate there loan and buy there equity? Of course this would mean some rare kind of new vendor agreement where i purchase the title of deed and assume/reinstate the loan in foreclosure)
Do you know of many vendors that would approve of this.
