Hi Glen

Marty is AWESOME!!

I learned so much for him when I was first starting out!!

I'm not sure if he is planning any future events, but if not we have our bus tour of Melb development sites coming up in November.

We've had huge success with these in the past, with many attendees going onto make six figure profits from their 1st developments.

In fact, last year an attendee bought the 'sample' site we looked at as an example & she is half way through the project that will net her about $200k!!

We've run these events for a few years now & offer 100% money back guarantee… and not one person has requested their money back..not one!!

JacM has given you the right starting point
While you are correct with other rezoning it helps your case, but does NOT guarantee it.
Council will give you their thoughts, but worth discussing with a town planner and/or land surveyor familiar with the area & council
Either way, rezoning can be a very lengthy time, maybe consider trying to buy it 'subject to' the rezoning and/or subdivision you require

Hope this gives you a starting point

Hi everyone
very topical thread, and seems to polarise people

While I wont make any comment on Carly, I recommend you do not lump everyone who speaks about or teaches property investing as 'spruikers' or rip offs, or whatever phrase you prefer.

Remember you are here on Steve McKnight's site & he falls into this category too. He has been ignorantly criticised in the past and there is no one in his field more ethical or with stronger wishes for those attending his seminars etc to succeed.

I had no idea about property when I started in Steve's mentoring program in 2005. that cost me a few thousand bucks.
While a lot of the information I got from that program would have been available free or cheap elsewhere, i had no idea what i needed to find, or if I did, where to find it. It was all bundled up in a convenient 'package' for me to use. it was the kick start i needed

5 & a bit years later I am now full time (well i only do it part time i guess) property developer earning many times what I was when I joined. I work from home & spend a whole lot of time playing with my young family.
I can tell you that was a few bucks VERY well spent!!!!

I also now teach others how to complete their first property development, with some seminars, mentoring program etc.
I have had some great successes with many students making 6 figure profits that they may not have done otherwise.
To me, it is a huge thrill when i get the call to be told the impact that it has had on someones life. It is an added bonus of what I do.
I'd like to point out that i offer 100% money back guarantee on everything we do, to take any risk away from the attendees. I dont want anyone's money if they cant make use of the information.

While i am certainly not trying to twist anyones arm to come to one of my events, (thats the last thing I'd do) I'd like to recommend that you do thorough due diligence on any person/course/seminar etc to ensure it is right for you, and that you will make the most of it. I also suggest only those money iron clad money back guarantees too, for obvious reason.

Like any industry, there are some very good ones, and some very poor ones out there

If it is right for you, then to spend a few hundred, or a few thousand dollars for you to earn $50k – $100k (or maybe lots more, maybe many times over again & again) then i think it is pretty good value

I hope you see my comments as balanced, and not biased

Hi all
we joined in the 1st intake in 2005, with no investing experience
once we complete what we have underway currently, we will have over $9.5M in transactions
we could never have done that without RESULTS
dont worry about which coach you may get (they are all great), dont worry about it not fully starting until July, dont worry about any other excuses.
if you are serious about your future, and you are serious about property being the vehicle, then dont think twice about it – JUST DO IT, WHATEVER IT TAKES!!
 the cost is minuscule compared to what is available to you

oh, we are still with the graduate program at RESULTS!
