    Another too is,

    Lets say your new to the property investment game, you might have a property, but you might not exactly know the ins and outs of an IP work . A $240k property that is 1 title with 4 units, to a sydney sider/resident, will think this is the deal of a life time, as they know in Sydney prices for anything near or like this could be over the $1 million dollar mark to purchase in Sydney.

    To this person, this would looke like a deal of a life time, and a deal this good to them, they dont have time to think, but to sign the contract and make sure its secured before someone else purchases it.

    Hi Redwing,

    I havent purchased any of her properties, but her books i will admit they are great teaching tool. To be honest, best to use her books and her finsoft caculator to work out CoCR and IRR, but to be honest i feel the same as Richmond that you can find the deals and probably better deals. What you do on the CoCR caculator is the same thing she will do for you, in person.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Hi Rugbyfan,

    dont forget, he is selling the property at a markup price to the investor to begin with. A 50k mark up price.

    Hi Kay,

    thats true, but you dont get that guaranteed rent for 5 years (and 25 years contracts he has available), as an investor, your really left with no choice.

    Hi Pices133,

    Thats what the contract stipulate, some how he has been able to do it. The only way you can manage the property is to wait till your 5 year contract with him is up and then you are able to rent it out via PM.

    But for many people, because he guarantees 24k each year, not many or naive people will aruge with this.

    For V.O. to manage all these properties is easy, remember he is the landlord to 1500 properties.

    1500 x $10 pw rent = $15,000 pw week he makes doing nothing.

    He has a direct billing service setup that deducts money from the pensioners account and would only need to pay some one or 2 people $500 a week each to manage these properties.

    On the trip, he tells all about what i just mention in this post, to everyone, he is up front on how much money he makes in acting as a land lord. And how he makes his $15k a week doing not much at all, and how he provides such a great service.

    Its just sad how many people can fall for this marketing and just want to sign anything they can get there hands on.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Oh BTW, what about the arguements .. do tell.

    Lots of arguement occured, when simple question, were put forward, as were do you find the tenant, but how is the property +ve cashflow when interest rates are 7%, when its not. Yet how do you work out these figures. That they couldnt explain, and the guy who was talking about the deals, didnt even know what +ve cash flow or +ve geared is, yet he is on the microphone telling everyong that this deal is and such and such. Also trying to find a lender who can lock in less than 7% for 5 years, which they said can be done they could not produce any evidence or proof of which lender who would or can.

    Also can we have some clarification about being watch by guests … whats that all about?

    There are some people on here who are just lurkers, sorry to be rude about that, they just read everything, yet dont contribute to the forum, they pick up on somes deal, because of little accidental hints of places of interest and so on, by forum contributers. Or other releveant information

    Just wondering if any lurkers, did sign up on any deals now, and just realise they have be very well marketed and have signed themselves away.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Hi Kay,

    For a $240k property that has 4 units under one title.

    There is a guaranteed $24k return each year.

    $24k shared by 4 tentants renting it out is $115 pw, you will get from each tenant. V.O. has also added on top of that rent a $10 a week fee to each tenant on the lease.

    So the actual rent the tenant/pensioner will pay is $125 per week.

    On every rental he makes $10 on top of it.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Ok, V.O. is very upfront and tells people that he has put a huge markup, but guarantees the rent for the next 5 years.

    Yes people are crazy, they are signing deals on the bus, with no solicitor and in the middle of nowhere, were your mobile fone has no reception or phone coverage.

    People are just going into the deals with no legal or third party advice or check ups, they were signing up like hot cakes on sale.

    The real losers are the investor and the pensioner, wno is also locked in.

    Its sad, but true, but this was happening right there infront of us.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Because he promise you a 10% GYR on the property, you dont get that 3% CPI inflation facted in. V.O. gets that, he takes the rent money from the pensioner plus there 3% CPI inflation for each year, as their pension increases.

    Though after 2 years, you are still getting $24k on your $240k IP. Even in the 5th year of your locked contract with him for being landlord, your still getting $24k, doesnt matter, if you were to lock yourself with him for 25 years.

    In 25 years time you will still be getting S24k.

    So far can you see the catch?

    Now lets say you want to sell your property after 5 years, because he put a hefty markup on the IP, in 5 years time on an IRR and including your cost base for this investment. You can not sell your property at a profit, cause you just dont break even yet on your return.

    • V.O. manages to purchase a property at undermarket value, he sells it at an over market value, you have to put more money in the deal as the bank will not take a 20% LVR deposit on this.
    • On every seperate unit each week, he makes a $10 profit,for the lenght of the contract and because of a 3% CPI inflation every year, he further makes more $$$
    • Your stuck with the same GYR each year, which does not increase in your favour. Has locked in a investor with a pensioner, who has not got much choice in their position
    • Short term the money looks good, but over time, your stuck with a property, not a good rental return, and limited in what power or control you have

    The only way this deal is going to work in your favour is, if you can lock in an interest rate of under 7% for 5 years, and have huge capital gain, when your contract expires. If not, you either sell the property at a lost or you continue with another 5 year contract and at the same rental return for of what you purchase the price to begin with.

    ok i dont know if you understand how it works, but thats how he has been able to do this and lock in people with no choice or little control, because of such guarnateed returns.

    sis

    ok, guys

    V.O. buys a property for say $200k or any property but puts a real hefty markup on the resale of it to you (you as the investor), not just one property, but he has managed to buy and control 1500 properties. At the expense of an investor, who is locked into 5 by 5 year leases, which gives him total control over your property.

    Here is an example of how the deal works, (all his deals are block of units by the way.)

    V.O. Purchases property at $190k, he sells to investor at $240k. He makes a $50k profit. (with this deal comes many strings attached.) He promise to also landlord your property with a 10% GY return of the purchase price. If you dont let him landlord your property, he will not sell the property to you at all. He also locks you into a 5 year contract, with no choice to pull out, or you pay hefty penalites, puttin you back in that predictiment, that you have to let him landlord your property for you. (you can also lock in a contract for 25 years, now for a novice investor, this is not good for them, yet so many fall for this.)

    $240k property @ $24k GYR = 10% GYR

    With this figure and at currnet interest rates, and having to be locked in for 5 years, this property is not +ve cashflow, yet it is +vely geared. (Many novice investors, may not know the difference between +ve cash flow and +ve geared). This property is infact more -ve or far from neutral.

    On all properties, he offers management, he will do all maintenances service for a small fee of $10 per each seperate unit or property rented.

    Remember he sells blocks of units (1 title x 4 units). So infact he is getting $40 for this such deal .

    Each year due to CPI this has an about 3% inflation across the economy, thus meaning because he rents to pensioners, the government increases there pension by about 3% every year.

    So lets go back to this $240k property he sells you.

    $240k property @ $24k GYR = 10% GYR.

    Deal looks great, but on paper, its shonky let me keep explaining. All these incentives he gives you at a $10 fee and then locks you in at 5 years. Something is Wrong.

    I will keep explaining in next post.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Hi Guys,

    I will explain how the deals work, yes they look good to a novice or first time investor, but the deals are very shonky and are only good, if the IRR is accurately predicted right in 5 years time, if not, you will actually be in more debt than you started with.

    Let me explain.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Hi Pisces133 and Guys,

    Oh dont worry i will tell tomorrow, first i gotta call some people about the trip… lol… yes we had an arguement with some of the host and people who were organising and reading out what deals they have, the deals are actually really good for first time investors, but to be honest i feel some deals were actually good on the returns but caculation on an IRR for five years time is bit of a worry. (long story but to make it short, your are locked in to a 5 by 5 lease, but if you break your lease there are big penalties.) I will explain more tomorrow.

    Though the food was really good, im serious they fed us like 4 times a day, and provided great accomodation, though i am a bit disappointed, that there are lots of people who do view this forum and are only guests on here.

    It honestly didnt take long to meet or find out who or which of these persons or people who are just fence sitters and just read everything and reap the benefits of what other people post and talk about on here.

    Though i will admit, it didnt take long to work out how V.O. was doing the deals and how he was promising such returns, i will admit that, for the novice investor, he is making big $$$ off them, (now you can sorta guess why an arguement arosed and many questions that i put forward, could not be answered or were sided tracked with a quick change of subject).

    Though, i will honestly admit in 2 days, it did really open my eyes and see, who you can and can not trust, and what you have to becareful about posting such good places of interest.

    Though a short note, for everyone, just a heed of carefulness, you dont know who is on their home computer right now viewing and reading such topices and taking advantage of someones enquiry or question of help.

    This has just really disappointed me and i know many people on here, will now be a little bit more aware and will be, more careful in what they post on this forum. To be honest, its great for people to help each other on here, but someone could be taking advantage of your general helpful post/knowledge or information you try to give some one who needs.

    For everyone, i didnt buy any property at all, but i will post more about the trip here later on.

    Cheers,
    sis

    Hi Burbonbill,

    Yes it is legal, but while sell when you can use the collateral from that property to purchase more IP?

    Just a thought though
