Categories: Mindset

There’s a lot of information out there that focusses on the technicalities of investing in property.

In fact, there’s so much content available on property investing strategies that most people are just too overwhelmed to do anything!

Today, I want to take a look at some of the invisible qualities of a successful property investor…

It’s time to switch off from all the noise around the latest strategy, how to get the best finance or where the most profitable hotspot is.

No contracts, no feasibilities, no agents, no banks

Let’s get down to brass tacks… the stuff most educators don’t talk about.

I’m talking about the glue that holds a great property investor together day in, day out… I’m talking about:

How I Got Everything I Want In Life By Following A “Kid’s Idea”?

Categories: Mindset

If money and location were not an issue…

If you had the power to do anything you want with your life… anywhere you want…

Would you still be doing what you’re doing today?

If you’re anything like I was earlier in my journey, chances are you just answered:

“Hell no, Matt! My life would be 100% different if money and time weren’t an issue anymore!”

But here’s the kicker. You will forever be dependent on money… unless…

You Figure Out What You Want To Do Instead!

If there’s one thing I learned from over a decade of helping myself and others achieve financial freedom, is this:

What usually prevents people from achieving success is lacking a crystal clear, vivid image of what their end game is.”

And to be honest, creating that image is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. Scoff if you want, but let me tell you – it’s harder to figure out WHERE you want to go… than HOW to get there.

But… there is some good news:

Today’s post is GUARANTEED to help you create that mental image… and imprint it so deeply and effectively into your subconscious mind…

…that it’ll awaken a force you never knew you had within you – so powerful that you will finally be able to utilise everything you’ve learned, all of your skills, experience and knowledge – and turn them into as many dollars as your heart desires.

How? With some help from my favorite business mentor and best-selling author, James Klobasa.

As a young child, James always had a clear idea of what his perfect day as an adult would look like.

When asked by one of his school teachers to draw a picture of what he wanted to be when he grew up, James drew a picture of himself enjoying time at the beach with friends.

Based on his beach-centered “Kid Vision,” James created a life that allowed him to ditch his day job, travel and enjoy plenty of fun times in the sun, surf and sand.

In his book The Expert’s Handbook, James empowers his readers to tap into their “Kid Vision” and use it to create a business that supports a lifestyle of wealth, happiness and abundance.

Finding Your “Kid Vision”

Finding your “Kid Vision” involves reflecting on a time when you were really excited about life and figuring out what feelings drove you during that time. [Read more…]

6 Powerful Tips Every Property Developer Needs to Know

Categories: Strategies

A few days ago I was doing some research for a development project I have my eyes on when I had a realisation.

There I was – flipping through the 154 page workbook that comes with my DIY Property Development Kit (and yes, I ABSOLUTELY still use it – especially the 24 point Due Diligence process) when it hit me…

I almost missed something super critical in the details of the deal!

I won’t bore you with the details… but let’s just say that having that resource to fall back on saved me from a broken heart and a badly bruised bank account.

This experience reminded me again just how important it is to have a go-to person, guide, mentor or even just a checklist you can rely on when assessing a new project.

And if there’s one strategy where you really need that person… it’s property development.

Why Does Property Development Need Special Attention?

Property development can be hugely profitable… but you need to make sure you have your bases covered before you take on a large project.

But don’t you worry – we’ve got you covered!

Here are six tips that will help you generate profits and avoid expensive errors on your next development:

1. Select the right property for you

One of the first decisions you will have to make as a property developer is whether you want to purchase raw land or a property that already has development approval (DA). Your decision should depend on a number of factors, including: [Read more…]

9 Property Investing Secrets From Korean Martial Arts World Champion

Categories: Strategies

The story you are about to read is one of those that shows us that there is no magic formula or a pre-established path to success in any area of our lives.

As simple as it may sound, all you need is to know what you want to achieve, have the drive to pursue it no matter what, and be resourceful about it.

If you are one of my readers, you probably know that to become a successful property investor the requirements are pretty much the same!

The main character in our story learned that lesson from his childhood experience in the martial arts world…

… his secret was being able to transfer those teachings to other aspects of his life, like his business.

So, here is a question to ask yourself:

What life experiences do you have that can become the key to your success as a property investor?

Keep that question in mind while reading Leon’s story, it may help you to uncover some valuable assets you didn’t know you have…

Leon Weber hasn’t followed a typical path.

A martial arts World Champion, Leon dropped out of high school and had a variety of jobs, including Bluescope steel employee, online entrepreneur and property development project administrator, before finding his niche in property investing.

Today, Leon is one of Southeast Queensland’s most successful property investors—and his story is full of valuable lessons that apply to seasoned property investors as well as people who are just getting into the game.

Leon Weber,
Tae Kwon Do World Champion
Successful Property Investor

Leon shared nine lessons he learned on his personal and career journey that have helped him to become a successful property investor:

1. Use personal experiences to your advantage

From the age of six, Leon has been involved in Shotokan karate and tae kwon do. He received second, third and fourth degree black belts and won multiple World Championship titles.

This early exposure to martial arts taught him the value of hard work, having goals and “going for it,” he said.

“I’ve applied this drive in other areas of my life and business—and most recently, to property,” Leon said. [Read more…]

Town Planner Reveals: 8 Key Tips For Obtaining Development Approval (Part 2)

Categories: Strategies

Today we are continuing the series published last week dedicated to saving subdividers from possible property disaster.

As I explained last week, this post should be seen as an important “refresher course” for those of you readers who’ve been around the block once or twice – and as a potential life-saver for those who haven’t pulled the trigger on their first deal.

So what is this all about?

Well, as you probably know, there are A LOT OF HOOPS to jump through in a property subdivision. Many are confusing, many are time-consuming, and all them are required in order to complete a successful, profitable subdivision.

And the most significant, most confusing, most critical hoop of all is…

…the one that’s the difference between developing a profitable subdivision and being stuck with a block of dirt that doesn’t earn you a cent… is…

Obtaining the coveted development approval from council!

So I reached out to my friend Craig Christie, owner/director of ASI Planning. I always prefer to know what the people I deal with look like as it gives me a feeling of “knowing them” a little bit. So for your benefit if you’re like me, this is Craig:

Now that you know Craig, here’s what you really need to know about him: He’s an award-winning town planner who really, truly knows subdivisions. In fact, what Craig doesn’t know about obtaining development approval from council is not worth knowing!

OK, so in Part 1 of (published last week) Craig discussed how to:

And today I bring you Craig’s next tips for guaranteeing your next subdivision is a “money-in-the-bank” one:
