A real estate mistake that cost me $300,000+
Posted by admin on Feb 19, 2011 in Property Investing | 1 comment
I hope you’re having a good weekend. I want to take you through a deal that in the end didn’t happen – but it’s educational for you in any case. First of all, I’ve been researching the Brisbane market a lot. Not so much for its potential in the next 12 months, but over the next 3-5 years I believe this market will have a lot to offer investors who get in early. So let’s talk about the deal and what you can learn from it (I learnt a lot). With the property, it was offered to me by a friend of mine who...

I’m not joking! l’ve seen information, stats, data and numbers that could be a leading indicator to where the real estate market is heading. This information is critical – especially right now. Allow me to explain… The big talk at the moment in the investment circles is all about the boom and the pending bust of the real estate market right here in Australia. I have news for you that l know you’ll find interesting. Of course any one with half of a portfolio would read all the dooms day reports and wonder if...

Yesterday I wrote to you about a system I learnt many years ago that gives you a 97% chance of having everything you ever wanted in your life, be it financial, relationships, health…whatever. Ok it’s not 100%. Nothing is 100% guaranteed to work. …but hey, 97%? The odds are stacked in your favour aren’t they? ….and you know what, there is really one thing that you MUST do to make this happen. Before I tell what that is – Here’s the proof. Harvard business school did a study on the financial status of...

I’m still away on holiday… You just have to love Australia don’t you? It’s one of the only places in the world that shuts down for a whole month…. I don’t know about you but try to get something done in January… Virtually impossible. Find a tradie, go to your favourite restaurant, get a new job, get a hold of a solicitor or if you have a business, make a sales call. Hopeless…hopeless…hopeless… I realised this along time ago about January and instead of getting frustrated I just did the only sensible thing… …Join the...

Posted by admin on Jan 11, 2011 in Property Investing | 0 comments
I have to admit it – l’m property crazy….( you’ll soon see why) I have made millions and most of has been as a totally lazy property investor. ….or better still a “chicken property investor” Here’s a typical example…. In 2001 I bought a single front in Richmond Melbourne for $238,000 ….got it valued in November 2010. The valuation came in $825,000 Wow… that’s a $587,000 capital gain in 10 years. Average that out and it’s $58,700 per annum tax free (lm never...

I’ve had enough! In fact, many subscribers have sent me emails challenging me on my thoughts and ideas and investment philosophy. The biggest bubble in real estate is not the prices, it’s the B.S. of journalistic opinion about “the imminent real estate crash.” It’s getting to the stage where we might even see a headline that reads, “Expert Says Sell Your Real Estate Now Before You Lose Millions!” That expert of course is probably someone who doesn’t own any real estate, never has and never...

I find this really amusing… With the Australian dollar at a significant cycle-high, the talk is on how cheap consumer goods are going to be in the next 12 months. Also, the fact that it’s a great time for Australians to travel overseas for a holiday. So this is the time to buy electronic goods and travel to your heart’s content. Zero talk about how to make money with the high Aussie dollar. The smart money knows what to do, but that’s always a small percentage of the population. With the dollar so high and going even...

Earlier this month I went to a seminar called, “Infrastructure Partnerships Australia Conference.” Yes, I know it’s a weird name, but basically the seminar was about real estate trends and forecasts in Australia. The people that attended this event were the ones who were at the pointy end of the real estate pyramid, and that is listed property development companies like Stockland, Mirvac, government officials, major banks… you get the drift. Most of the event was pretty boring, but there were certain talks and...

I don’t get too political with my emails to you… I decided a long time ago that regardless of what political parties are in power, I would become a proactive observer and attempt to profit from either their stupidity or brilliance. …but this discussion about slowing population growth is rubbish! If either Gillard or Abbott want to slow how many people come in to this country, here’s what they have to do. …put the brakes on the economy. They both know that – surely… That’s right, they have to kill...

I bet you’re confused about what’s happening in the economy right now. I certainly am. Reading all the headlines, you’d think we’re on the cusp of a property crash and diving into another global crisis via a double-dip recession. Run for the hills!! Add an election to the mix and you’ve got a recipe for massive procrastination. So what can we make of it all? Let’s see if I can help… I think the Reserve Bank of Australia went way over the top with its interest rate hikes. We went from a 3% cash rate to...
