Only Your 3rd Day Back?

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Well, here’s some good news on the next Property Workshop!

Following a barrage of emails from those of you who took off the week before Christmas … you will see that the early-bird registration has been extended until the end of January.

However, I suspect the “Full House” sign will be going up before then. Therefore, if you haven’t already reserved your seat … make your decision now — rather than miss out.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Property Workshop … Early-bird rate soon to Expire

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I was just checking through the enrolments for the Workshop so far … and it seems that the interstate people are currently outnumbering those from Melbourne … by about 3:1

Last time, local and interstate enrolments were more or less balanced … so let’s try and even that up.

Make sure you enrol now, to secure your pre-Christmas discount.

This time — Don’t Miss Out on
The Annual Property Workshop!

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Details are now up for you to read and enrol.

If you do come along … I promise it will completely transform the way you invest in Commercial property.

Last time … sadly, I had to turn a number of people away. However, those who did manage to secure a seat were truly stunned by some of the bold new ideas we covered — as part of the breakthrough 9-Step Formula.

Key issues like …

  • Structuring your Finance to “beat the Bank”, and …
  • Negotiating & Marketing techniques to make sure you leave NOTHING on the table!

To capture these same insights and enhance your own investment success … why not find out more about this Property Workshop?

Project Workshop 2008 … Update

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Last week, I confirmed that the next Workshop will be held on Saturday 1 March 2008.

Because people had to be politely turned away from the last Workshop, I gave the opportunity to pre-reserve a seat … for those not wanting to miss out on this one.

Anyway, I was rather surprised how strong the pre-reservation has been.

And this Friday, it will be ONLY these people who will be given first chance to enrol — before the official posting of the Workshop registration page goes up next Monday.

So, if you would like the opportunity to “jump the queue”, you can still do so now. Because, with only 27 seats available (and some 4,019 on my Membership list), it may well end up being a locked-door Workshop.

Property Workshop 2008?

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

All year, people have been pestering me to know when it will be. Well, the date has now been set for Saturday 1 March.

Again, it will be held within the Melbourne CBD — to make it easy for those flying in from interstate and overseas.

The last full-day Workshop turned out to be far too crowded. So, this one will be limited to only 27 people!

And, therefore, it will be on a first-come-first-served basis!

Looking Behind Your Passing Yield

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

For what reasons would you accept a Lesser Yield?

Perhaps you intend to occupy the property when the lease expires; or it may adjoin the one you already own. Either way, the initial low rental is really of little importance.

However, not every such sale will have a special value to the purchaser. More often, the reason for accepting an initial low yield will be that …
