Would You Buy This Property?

Categories: Strategies, Tools & Resources

One of my favourite things about the Ultimate Property Hub is the live Q&A calls where I help members assess their deals and make sure they don’t fall for a dud.

This week we had a particularly interesting deal.

As you’ll see in the video below – Owen (one of our Ultimate Property Hub Members) asked my feedback on a deal that, at first, seemed like a total no-go.

However… once we dug deeper, I was able to find several ways Owen could turn this project from something that would put him in the red…

… into a 23%-25% ROI home run!!!

Having an experienced investor look over your numbers… to make sure you haven’t fudged any numbers… and isolate the key factors you need to negotiate – –

Makes the difference between NEVER finding a deal… And finding cracker deals ALL THE TIME!

(That’s why I recommend you check out the Brisbane Property Adventure Bus Trip – – a full day “field trip” with property millionaire Nhan Nguyen.

Nhan will take you to half a dozen sites, and walk you though a complete feaso analysis right there on the spot!)

This video above proves: this is critical to your success!

In Owen’s case, going through this process with me helped him identify the actual problems he needed to fix in this deal to make it work.

This gave him the exact demands he needed to give the listing agent – and the confidence to walk away if the vendor says no!

Now Owen will either proceed with a better deal that can make him $103K… or he’ll reveal this deal is a dud, and walk away WITHOUT RISKING A CENT!

Either way, it’s a win. Watch the video now and you’ll immediately see how you can start applying the same process to assessing YOUR deals.

Remember, watching how pros analyse deals trains your brain to ask the RIGHT questions and look at things differently.

In many ways, it’s like going to the gym to strengthen a muscle.

And once you start working your deal-finding “muscle”… you’ll unlock access to deal… after deal… after deal… EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK!

It’s the easiest way I know to make money. (And the most predictable one, too!)

Watch the video now, and don’t forget to book your ticket on the Brisbane Property Adventure Bus Trip ASAP (early bird discount ends this week!)

This Deadly Poison Is A Property Investors’ Worst Nightmare

Categories: Strategies

If your next reno or subdivision property was built pre-1990, beware:

It’s likely you have asbestos in the roof sheeting, the wet areas of your home (laundry, bathroom, kitchen), maybe even in an old shed out the back.

But the list doesn’t end there… Far from it!

You Can Often Find Asbestos In:

Outdoor Toilets: Although strange now, back in the ’50s to the ’80s, outdoor toilets were a common feature in many Australian homes. And these toilets were often made with asbestos roofing. While new homes aren’t built with outdoor toilets anymore, demolishing the old ones is a tricky, dangerous, and potentially expensive task.

Dog Kennels & Cubby Houses: Older dog kennels and kids cubby houses were often made from leftover building asbestos. (Can you imagine your precious children or pets breathing this poison in?!)

Outdoor Pergolas, Garages and Retaining Walls: It’s often the exterior add-ons you forget about when you survey a property, so take a walk in the backyard and assess the area! Anything pre-1990 deserves your careful attention!

Barbeques: Asbestos cement sheeting was often used to the underside of the barbeque or to support the ceramic tiles used around the barbeque benchtop. Oops!

Electrical Meter Boxes: Did you know asbestos was often used in older-style electrical fuse and meter boxes? Electrical backing boards were manufactured containing asbestos as a fire retardant and to resist electrical arcing. And even boards with new digital meters and modern circuit breakers may still be mounted… on the old asbestos board!!!

Asbestos Won’t Just Kill Your Project… It May Very Well Kill YOU!

This horrid cement based material has already killed over ten thousand Australians since the ’80s. And cancer experts predict it will kill 25 thousand more in the coming decades.

But then again, you can’t avoid it!

Despite the phase-out initiated more than 30 years ago, and despite the total ban enforced since 2003 – – Asbestos is still pretty much everywhere.

There’s no way around it –

If You Invest In Property, You Need To Know The Right Way To Deal With Asbestos!

Otherwise, you might end up losing much more than just money.

Using active property strategies like Renovation, Subdivision and Development you are more than likely going to need to demolish a property at some stage… or at least shift it or renovate it!

It’s critical you learn how to remove asbestos properly.

Subdivision Costs WA: A Complete List Of The Costs You Need To Budget

Categories: Strategies

“What are the typical subdivision costs in WA?”

This is one of the most popular questions I get asked when chatting to property investors. It’s second only to “how do I find a great deal?”

It’s a great question and was the reason I wrote the DIY Subdivision Kit and included it in the Ultimate Property Hub membership site.

Finding out those key expenses is not always easy, especially when you don’t know where to look or who to ask. So I figured why don’t I just share all the juicy details right here!

9 Magic Words Used By World Champions To Transform The Mind, Erase All Fears, And Get In The Zone

Categories: Mindset

It’s Sunday, 11:23 AM.

I’m spending the day at Rainbow Bay – – my favourite beach in the whole country. But I’m not here for leisure… I’m here on serious business:

I need to find something I lost here twenty years ago…

I’m here to find my courage.

I spent most of my teen years on this majestic beach. Surfing every minute I could spare. Barely even stopping for food.

But then I grew up. And life changed.

More responsibilities.

More pressure.

More work.

Less fun at the beach.

And before I knew it, twenty years had passed since I last surfed.

When we came back to Australia from France, my beautiful wife Marisa encouraged me to get back into the waves again.

I admit – the whole idea of bringing back my old self and having fun like a kid again excited me.

Then I Fell Into The Same Trap That Fails Most Property Investors

I expected to get back to surfing without any problems. After all, I probably spent 5,000 hours or more surfing – and all the ‘knowledge’ was still stored somewhere inside my brain!

What I didn’t account for was… the lack of confidence.

I didn’t trust my muscles to react in time anymore. I avoided the big waves, remembering I couldn’t afford to injure myself and become a burden on my wife and kids.

**After Just Two (Pathetic) Surfing Sessions, I Threw In The Towel**

For the last one and a half years, my new surfboard had been sitting in my garage collecting dust. When my friends asked me about it, I said things like…

“Mate, I’ve got no time… “

Or… “The waves are too small today buddy…”

Or… “The swell is too dangerous today man…”

Or a thousand other excuses why I couldn’t take the surfboard out for another session.

Want the honest truth?

I’ve spent the last eighteen months in fear of facing the waves and failing again. One more failure and maybe I’d have to admit – I’m not cut out for this anymore.

Fear certainly makes small problems appear insurmountable, doesn’t it? But don’t worry –

I’ve Found A Way To Eradicate Fear And Indecision… Using Nine Magic Words!

To explain it, you and I need to take a quick trip down memory lane. (It’s critical that I explain this little something before you can understand the mind-blowing concept I’m about to share with you.)

As a kid, Mark ‘Occy’ Occhilupo was my surfing hero. His rapid rise to the top (all the way to becoming a world champion) was impressive.

But when he fell from grace and somehow managed to bounce back, and make another rise to become a world champion for the second time… that was incredible.

And despite being a surfing legend, if you ever caught Occy on the beach, he’d always be up for a chat, a photo or just a quick “How are ya mate?”

As fortune had it, my Mum was one of the nurses that assisted with the birth of his baby boy. And recently, when an opportunity to spend a few hours catching waves with this legend came up, I jumped on it!

Leading up to the big day, my mind kept playing tricks on me.

Even on the morning of my session with Occy, my brain was still trying to find ways to sabotage the moment.

My subconscious was coming up with all these reasons why I had to back out:

Why would a world champion surfer want to hang out with me?
What if he takes me to a dangerous surf spot and I get smashed on the rocks or drown in the ocean?
What if I can’t even stand up and I look like an idiot?

Do you find your subconscious has the same wonderful ability to bring you down? Keep reading – I’ve found the answer.

Occy turned out to be everything I expected: the nicest guy you’d ever meet.

He was friendly, thoughtful, and 100% focused on getting me the outcome I wanted.

Yet I still wasn’t sure he could help me.

Sure, he’s a two time world champion surfer. But I didn’t need someone to teach me how to surf. I’d done it for the best part of my teenage years!

What I needed was someone to “reset” my limiting beliefs, my self doubts, and install some confidence back into Matt!

As it turned out, Occy has a secret to giving you confidence in spades.

How To Win In Property (And Everything Else In Life)

I didn’t expect to solve my problem today. I just wanted some movement in the right direction.

But with Occy at the helm, I soon discovered the real secret to his ascension into the status of legend.

Occy didn’t give me advice. He didn’t offer me insights. He didn’t lecture me on being more confident, or on how to surf better.

Occy knew I needed help winning the mind game that was going on inside my head. So what did he do? He waited.

Waited. For the right moment.

Waited. For what he knew was the perfect wave for me.

And when it finally came, he looked at me, and said:

“This Next Wave Has YOUR Name On It, Matt”

I cringed.

The wave approaching was much bigger than I wanted to take on. Any other day, I would have waited it out. Let a more skilful board rider go after it.

But when a 2 time world champion tells you “I’ve got your back, so you go and you take that wave and you don’t stop paddling till you get it!!!” – – That’s exactly what you do!

I’m Back, Baby!!!

Within that split second, using only nine magic words, Occy gave me my confidence back.

I got up and surfed that wave with the biggest grin on my face since I convinced Marisa to marry me.

If you were watching me from the outside, you wouldn’t have seen anything special. Yet inside I felt complete joy.

There I was, carving across a beautiful wave (it was pretty rad, trust me!) all thanks to nine magic words:

“This next wave has your name on it, Matt”

How This Applies To Increasing Your Success As A Property Investor

It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to become a better surfer… a better parent… or a more successful property investor.

The rules of the game never change: Success is never about strategy. It’s first and foremost a mind game.

A mind game that must be fought inside your head before you can win at it in the outside world. Take property investing for instance.

“It’s not rocket science”, as my good friend Nhan Nguyen often puts it. Yet most people in this country don’t own even one money-making property.

How come? It’s not rocket science…

The answer is simple.

Takeoff Is The Hardest Part

Creating momentum (in almost anything) is hard. There’s so much friction. (Did you know it takes more fuel to take off and get out of the earth’s atmosphere, than it does to get from the edge of our atmosphere all the way to the moon?!

Yep. Winning the fight against your fears, your doubts, and the doubts of your family, friends, and spouse is where most people lose the fight.

We all need an “Occy.”

Someone who can stand behind you, with confidence and experience, and tell you…

“This next splitter has your name on it, Simon!”

“This next reno has your name on it, Robyn!”

“This development site has your name on it, James!”

These nine magic words, spoken at the right time, by the right mentor – is the magic wand that opens the floodgates to success.

In Less Than A Second, Your Whole World Shifts

So if you’re lacking in confidence… Can’t pull the trigger… Still trying to get everything perfect before you start… Or are paralysed with fear and doubts…

You don’t need much in order to succeed!

All you need is ONE exceptional person, giving you the right nudge when that wave comes. After that – everything else is peanuts!!!

And in the Ultimate Property Hub you’ll find not one exceptional person… but hundreds of people who are eager to lift you up.

Plus dozens of property experts at your disposal 24/7.

Plus me, too…. There to support you every step of the way.

Achieving success really is simple. The right mentor + The right time + The right words = Achieving anything you want.

So if you’re tired of the “same old same old”, and you’re ready to finally replace your salary with property income – why not start today?

You can double your income. Triple it. Quadruple it!

If you ask me, there is no faster and safer way to riches and freedom than property.

And I promise you: There’s a wave out there that has your name on it. In fact, I’m going to make sure you catch it!
