Where do I start?

Cameron, that question is so broad. what is the goal>??

Hi Cameron,
I have never done a Commercial deal either, but a seminar I atteneded a few weeks ago certainly piqued my interest. In essence, the presenter was describing how she was buying small Commercial spaces (e.g. coffee bar, or restaurant sizes) and getting enormous returns. I heard that she was pulling like 9% return, with the tenant picking up most of the expenses that would be on a landlord’s plate when doing residential investing. So, she was clearing as much as she was paying on the mortgage. In essence, she was bringing in cash like a bank.

Imagine paying $30k a year on a mortgage, and receiving $60k a year for you to pay it. Awesome eh?

Now hey, these seminars all have a “sign-up” thing at the end – but it is worth going along to check them out anyway, ‘cos here’s the thing. Let’s say this presenter is offering you her assistance in finding deals that you can buy, and she will assist – and all it costs you is $5k upfront? Is that a good deal?

If it led to just ONE such deal as above, hasn’t that $5k led you to putting $25k a year in your pocket? Now, there could be lots more such seminars out there – I don’t know. But I do know that this lady is still doing these seminars right now. Her name is Helen Tarrant.

I was impressed by the numbers mentioned by her – other than that, I make no recommendation at all, as I didn’t sign up with her – but I did enjoy the evening taking a look at an unfamiliar subject through her eyes.

Perhaps something like that will give you a bit of an idea of HOW these deals are put together. Oh, and also, you are likely to meet up with other people who are not watching TV that night, but (like you) are endeavouring to learn a little more to help their wallets. Some might even already be successful Commercial property investors. She will likely ask “Who owns Commercial Property already?” Approach those people afterward and say Hi !! Networking can lead to heaven knows where. Enjoy,

Benny
