Hi Louise,

Just a quick note. I heard on a radio station, this man saying that it would cost him 28K for himself and his wife to do this property course. [] 1st person @15K and 2nd person @13K. By golly I wish I was one of those people who could afford to pay that money for a property course!!! [] I reckon for 15K I’d like private tuition in…[Read more]

Hi Jarrod,

The house prices in Geelong have almost doubled over the last 12 months and the ‘locals’ can’t comprehend the jump in prices (this is from feedback from potential wrapees who’ve said “You’ve got to be joking!” and we haven’t heard back from them). This is especially in the areas of Norlane and Corio. Nth Geelong and Bell park its even…[Read more]

Hi all!

Hi,

Asalws, after you do your first few wraps, then you might want to find someone interested in doing wraps in partnership with you, in an area that is further away from you. Let’s just say, if you were to do this wrap at a great local approx. 2-3 hrs away, the wrapee may just want to become a wrapper once he’s cashed you out and has enough…[Read more]
