Investment Hot Spots – Onto a winner!!!

Hi everyone….

I quite often see posts about investments and groups and get their email newsletters, I am always trying to get some free info in what they say instead of just listening to all the hype and doing my own research. I probably have spent a couple of hours a day at night after work doing this and I have recently found one that works and thought I would share my experience of a group we met in Western Australia.

We came across a group called Investment Hot Spots – Not sure how large they are but their information and service proved to be very valuable.

We had a rep come into our home (Something we weren’t real sure about) to discuss what we initially thought was an Investment Property pitch. It turned out that they spent more time in understanding our position and talked more about 10 year planning, goal setting and tried to understand what we needed to achieve from our investments. Something I must say that I didn’t expect. The rep to seemed care about what he was doing and a few meetings later we were given options and explained all the pro’s and con’s about the areas, investment growth rates, infrastructure, population rates and how it impacts on median rents level, approved and unapproved projects and so on and so on.

They referred us to the their site and told us to do our own home work and there was never any hard sell.

They even recommended that we buy our own reports from the “experts” like Michael Matusik or Terry Ryder if we needed a second opinion.

We live in Western Australia and know that now is the not the right time to invest over here but some of the areas in QLD seem to be going quite well with all the mining and Gas projects that we keep hearing about.

Their range and options were huge and they guided us through the process and looked at what we could afford and suggested Gladstone. Townsville, Gympie, Western Brisbane and other areas were available but we all agreed that Gladstone seemed the most promising.

Now that we know that Gladstone has recently gone through the roof and that is something we are very happy about but at the time the major projects weren’t announced and the huge media attention really hadn’t begun.

We bought a House and Land Package for $410k and three – four months on we see the packs are now selling for $525k… Not bad growth or a recent investment especially since we only settled the land two weeks ago. We have also just sorted our property manager through a second recommendation who have a backlog of tenants in the area and the property will be filled in the next 2-3 weeks.

Happy hunting Investors.
