While looking at some old posts from May 2003 I came across this reply post by Otto Dargan in reference to property investment companies.

I’m sticking to my guns!There are good companies out there! I completely agree that most are shonks. I don’t think anyone can disagree with that!
Its hard to find good ones. Usually the bad ones have an extencive network where everyone is in on the scam. All you need to do is get an independant valuation and all is revealed! The people in this industry that are trustworthy don’t give free trips to queensland. I know of some good ones where the independant valuation comes back $30,000 above the sale price. Remember I work as a Home Loan manager so I have to do a valuation on everything my customers buy.
These companies are great for people who don’t know much about property and don’t want to know much on the condition that they get an independant valuation! Its a pity that since the people who use them aren’t experts they usually don’t get an independant valuation, which mwans they can get burnt.
All the good comapnies I have seen do not advertise, they work by personal referral. They don’t give referral fees either, their margins are too low. I have great respect for these companies as their ethics are well above that of the rest of the market. If a product or service isn’t good it will only rarely work with personal referral. This website is a good example in that I have told many of my customers and friends about it and they in turn have told theirs. If it wasn’t good then I wouldn’t have told anyone about it.

“People forget that by saving just $3 per day and investing it sensibly over a working life, you’ll end up with around $1 million.”Thanks s.i.s. I’d appreciate that.
I am conscious of not wanting to bug him for advice if he isn’t wanting to respond.

Karan.
