Seminars ???

Hi Bradles,

I am of the opinion that a seminar needs to be somewhat aligned with your investment philosophy. For example there is little benefit in me attending a wrapping seminar as it is not a strategy I see myself employing.

Of course the ‘fip side’ of that comment is you don’t know what you don’t know. But I would still prefer to bed down a strategy before diversifying otherwise it is possible to send 000’s of dollars on seminars, burning lots of cash and doing nothing.

As for Steve Navra’s seminar – it is more a wholistic workshop and gave me a broad overview of how I could put together a property portfolio. There is a lot of Peter Spann theory (from my reading of Peter’s books) in Steve’s seminar – well for me there was.

I just got an email from The Knowledge Bank about one of their events, a decent line-up for a 2-day $97 seminar.

Might be worth checking that one out.

I’m booked in for the Melbourne event, so I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m going to stick my neck out, knowing it may get bitten off (is that the right expression?)

For the last 4 years I have conducted an annual “Real World” real estate workshop.

A 2 1/2 day intensive and advanced seminar for experienced investors. It’s not cheap but not one person has ever asked for their money back (there is an unconditional money back guarantee and you can stay for the whole workshop before you decide if it was worth it.)

Every year we have experienced investors come from all over Australia – last year the Reno Kings who run their own seminars came and paid to attend!

This year I have the greatest line up of experienced property experts ever assembled in Melbourne assisting me. They are all established experienced investors (been through more than just one property cycle) who have increased the value of their portfolio’s over the last fewdifficult years..

Is it still worth going to seminars? I won’t answer that because I am biased, but if you want a CD full of opinions from past attendees send me an email

Bradles- yeah, what the rest said, but adding a bit more…

It does, as others said, depend on what ya wanna do. If you want to reno, think about reno kings, if you want to develop, think about development-focussed strategies… if you want to positive gear (for income), or you want to negative gear (for growth), then direct your research there.

There are SO many different ways to invest money in RE, then I think you are better off targeting. But the way to trget is to read all the material out there first- but the books before you go to seminars- and then specialise.

I am not a seminar type myself- I haven’t got the money. Remember, free seminars are usually tasters for much more expensive seminars, and provide very little info. They often sell a dream more than specific strategies. I believe seminars, in general, are probably good for people who need motivation, but books are kind of self-directed, and contain incredibly valuable info.

Think about it- how long does it take to read a book? Many hours (if you’re like me and like to mull over the info I read). A seminar would have to be the same amount of hours to provide the same amount of info. And a book is about $30…

Also, if you are thinking of going to a seminar, ask if the seminar will provide different (additional) info than the book has. If ya wanna pay to see slides of a man in front of a red sports car, then go for it. But I’d rather spend that money buying my OWN red sports car.
