Seminar – Mark Rolton

ER3110 you are not accepting emails, I Can't PM you?

Sam – that is one loaded and potentially dangerous question as it brings into play Will and Testament and if the person dies intestate and so on. If the will deems the property to someone else, it may null and void any option document, or at very least put it into question with relatives etc. Definitely one for a solicitor to answer, it could be far too complex to answer with any accuracy here.

Never had the situation Sam. Imagine that you still have the right to exercise an option to buy, but definitely check with Mel or Tony C. Unless Terry W wants to weigh in …..

Thanks Guys,

I spoke to Mel from home and housed and he seems to really know his stuff. Sounds like a nice guy as well. Will be setting up a meeting with him soon but before i do i'm waiting on the delivery of the book "Principles of Land Contracts and Options in Australia" by  C Rossiter. Fingers crossed it should come in today and will give me some answers to the questions i have.

I did have another question off the topic. Does anyone here use RPData? My partner met up with one of their sales reps on Friday and wasn't convinced that the price they charge is worth the service they provide. I found a huge amount of data for a property we were researching using Google for free. The only thing i couldn't find that RPData offers is the contact details of the owner of the house. Anyone here know where i could source this information from without having to go door knocking?

Kind Regards,
Sam

Awesome…thnx Paulyp for sharing your common sense in regards spending 5k on self growth <Moderator: delete abuse>

Paulyp]Hi,with all due respect, I don't understand the mindset of some people, many of us go and get a car loan for $30000, personal loans for  plasma t.v's or other things that depreciate in value but when it comes to parting with $5k for the knowledge that a course such as Massland's or any other for that matter can give a person, sorry but this boggles me.  If anyone knows of any books out there on property options PLEASE let me know.  Options are a specialized area where there aren't many decent books that gives  Australians the A-Z in this field.  Therefore to excel in this particular field you need to put in the hard yards both financially and mentally, but in the end it will be worth it.     Are we expecting pay $5k just sit back,  take a holiday and wait for the cash to roll in?    With this mindset most of us will be in the rat race the rest of our lives!
Anyway thats my 2c worth.    

Cheers

Are seminars really worth going to? Regarding property investing?? We are considering it but it seens that a lot of people hosting these seminars like the sound of their own voice and not helping us out? Let me know if you think its worth my time to go. Thanks

MR. FAIR GO, PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPS….YOU MENTIONED YOU PUT AN OFFER IN FOR A SIX MONTH OPTION PERIOD AND DURING THE PERIOD YOU WILL PERFORM RENOVATIONS…WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PERIOD IS UP, YOU JUST HAND OVER YOUR PROPERTY BACK TO THE VENDOR WITH THE RENOS THAT YOU PAID FOR? WHAT SORT OF OPTION DID YOU USE, A CALL OPTION OR A PUT AND CALL?

Hello Personal Leader

Happy to answer your questions, but I can't find my own post that you are asking about!   

Please show me where the post is that you are referring to – we have done a lot and I need to refresh myself on what deal this was about.

Cheerio

Mr Fair Go

Hi Philip,

Do you still offer the 2 Property Options 101 manuals for $499? From your website I can only find a whole package including 12 months of coaching for $6,450 (where as above it was stated it was available separatley). Is this the only way to purchase the option manuals now?

Thanks

Just give them a ring and say you don't want to go anymore and ask for a refund. There should be a refund policy somewhere. Of course they will try and talk you out of cancelling but be strong, you can do it.

I wish this thread exist back in 2007 and read it before I went to the seminar. It'll make you feel good and think that it's easy until reality hits and sinks in. Yes, it's possible to get somebody to agree to an option as I did, but realising the deal is the hard part specially if you don't have a team/contact of specialist/professionals like town planners, surveyors, civil contractors, builders, financiers,etc backing you up. 

Did I pick up anything from the seminar?  Well yes, but it's not worth $5k! Also, from speaking to a few property lawyers, you don't really need options that a conditional contract can't do (providing it's a good deal) and less messy.

I am currently doing an introductory law course as part of a uni program where I have access to instructors that can answer property related (including options) matters where it cost nowhere near $5k. This forum is also a good source of information. Good luck.
