    yes, get these all the time. I recently put up a post like this one only to find out that everyone is in the same boat.

    One thing that stuck in my mind that someone replied was that being poor is a state of mind and nothing to do with money. People with a “poor” state of mind cannot understand that not wanting to work in a job is not a selfish thing but a great thing to do.

    When people tell me that all I do is chase money, I ask them if they work for free. Then I tell them, well at least I dont take time away from my kids for 40 hours a week just to work for money. I make money work for me and buy time to spend with my kids.

    That usually shuts them up!!!!!

    Hi J

    not sure about the ad you are refering to, but Neil Jenman does have a system of “ethical” selling tecniques that he sells to some real estate agencies for a franchise fee.

    We have used Jenman agents before and were happy (they got us the price we wanted) then again, we were equally as happy with other agents too. It is all abit of a marketing thing, people “believe” that these agents are more ethical. But evidently, it works.

    Hi Vernon
    can’t speak for kiwi (thanks Kiwi by the way for providing those examples). But I’m presuming that the option fee of %5000 and the weekly option payment of $145 is dedicted from the final purchase price of $295,000.

    So the tenant has %5000 + 156x$145 =$27,620 to credit towards the purchase price if they exercised their option at the end of 3 years.

    Hope this helps

    by the way, I really have nothing agains the guy either. I think the whole thing is a bit of a joke, and everyone makes a living any way they know how.

    this is his way!!!

    If this is not a personal attack, then I dont know what is.

    But then again, I did intentionally provoke him

    AGREED

    to absorb what is usefull however, you need to have your own plans and implement the strategies that others are preaching.

    Otherwise consider yourself having a very intersting hobby and not a business.

    best thing is to talk with the seller and if they are willing to grant you an option ask what they would like in consideration for a period of 4 months or whatever it takes you to get your DA.

    I would guess somewhere in the order of $5 to 10,000, might get you the deal for a block of flats.

    you can still ring up and enquire about the minimum size requirement. you need this info to know whether you can put up 2 dwellings or 10

    natts

    Each council have their own regulations regarding the minimum size land per dwelling. Some are 1000m2 per dwelling, some are 250m2. You need to check with the council to see what they allow.

    Most real estate advisors are not agents and they
    DO NOT NEED TO BE

    They are INVESTORS

    I personally would prefer to sit down and listen to a financially free investor than a sales person struggling in a job.

    If the investor’s strategies dont meet your own goals and plans then dont take them on board

    Going into seminars without a plan and an investment strategy and waiting for someone to spoon feed you and tell you step by step what to do is a recipe for disaster. and in this case you are you own big risk!!!

    Hi Ron,

    I presume you are doing a development to KEEP instead of sell?

    And you will be using the units as long term buy and hold am I right?

    There are many creative landlording techniques to ensure you keep your tenants.

    Offer incentives, White goods, TVs
    treat your tenants with respect. Remember birthdays, christmas etc
    offer a referral incentive, ie pay for referrals if they are going to leave.

    Approaching large companies is also a good idea.

    Here is the issue

    go to http://www.jenman.com

    do a search for any of the investment gurus that are selling their ideas to the public

    Steve McKinight
    Rick Otton
    Henry Kay
    Dymphna Boholt
    anyone else
    etc

    and you will find lots of articles that he has written against them

    He thinks no one should be in business except him.

    Real estate agencies should not exist except if they pay franchise fees to Neil Jenman

    The only person that investors should take advice from is him

    EVERYONE ELSE IS BAD

    Respond to some of the things he writes about other people and he is sure to respond back within 24 hours and abuse you.

    GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!!!

    Hi Don and Liz

    We have everything insured with CGU, we have reduced some of the policies we now know cant be used unless you can proove specific instances, ie tennants smashing everything within a given time.

    sounds like we might have to move to AAMI or something else.

    We made the descision to give up working in a job for a set wage in Feb this year.

    Our 2 children now enjoy their parents as two full time investors working from home for unlimited income.

    Although its still hard work, we can take holidays, spend all the time we want with the kids and don’t have anyone to answer to.

    I agree, although both hubby and I put in 10 years of hard work getting 3 uni degrees each, we gave that all up for a better lifestyle and time with our children, and have absolutely no regrets!!!

    Don’t flatter yourselves guys, if she wanted to ask you out, she probably wouldn’t have much of a challenge! Men never are!!!!!!

    Hi MissK

    Is there a local investment club in your area, sometimes sitting with a whole bunch of investors discussing strategies of what they are currenly doing in your local market is worth its weight in gold.

    Appart from reading, you also need to clearly define your investment niche, what do you want to do?
    Buy and hold (positive cashflow)
    renovations
    developments
    commercial
    etc etc etc.

    and where???

    from there you need to SPECIALIZE in that area and know it well before you move onto the next.

    If you are looking to do everything everywhere, you will get very confused and frustrated!!!

    by the way, no private messages or emails regarding taking these emails to the press etc.

    I’m not interested and I would like to appologise now but such emails will be ignored!!

    the guy was just doing what he does best

    attack people and cause controversy, he is a genius at it!!!

    would I get in trouble if I posted up one of Jenmans emails to me? I use the emails to entertain my friends when we have a dinner party, they really are very funny!!

    He full on attacks ME in the emails for being an investor and not working in a job!

    This was after I told him that I actually did get something out of all the seminars and gurus that he puts down and the only thing that is a scam is working in a job.
