INTRODUCTION

The Road to Success

Property Friends started almost by accident. Around 2005, Neil and Lynn McNabb approached me to help them buy an investment property like one my wife Ulla and I were planning to buy in Cairns. They had seen how we had been successful in buying properties which had impressive capital growth and above- average rental yields. Other people had also noted our achievements, so by the time we departed, three other investors had approached us in the same way.

We bought five properties on that trip and our friends were delighted with the results of the purchases we arranged on their behalf. They told their friends about what Ulla and I had gained for them ... and Property Friends was born.

We now have a network of people all over Australia and overseas who are buying investment properties, building their portfolios and reaping the lifestyle rewards that come with being in control of their financial futures.

I spent 25 years in the corporate world, running in the rat race at full speed, controlling major infrastructure projects, commercially managing billion dollar contracts and working around the clock to deliver results for someone else. I knew there had to be a better way.

Ulla and I had been investing in property the traditional way - buying, holding and waiting for values to go up. Our portfolio was negatively geared and the interest payments were choking us financially and emotionally. We wanted to build wealth for our future and for our two daughters, but we had to find an alternative method that would deliver a balance of capital growth and rental income in a way that was sustainable for the long-term, without the risk and stress we were under.

‘Some members of Property Friends have gained as much as $150,000 in equity within 12 months ... Others have built portfolios with net assets of more than $1 million.’

Better, safer, stronger investments

The Property Friends strategy is explained fully in later chapters, but suffice to say, we focus on new house and land packages in strategically selected parts of Australia that match our criteria focused on long-term capital growth, strong rental yield and Hassle-free investment.

We have developed a proven system that works for investors to buy quality properties at wholesale prices in the best locations, invariably before they are put on the market for sale.

Generally, Property Friends who buy a property valued at about $500,000 can expect to make at least $25,000 in group buying savings and capital gain before their first tenants move in. At best, some members of Property Friends have gained as much as $150,000 in equity within 12 months.

Others who have been with us a number of years have built portfolios with net assets of more than $1 million (i.e. the value of their properties is more than $1 million greater than their total loans).
