One of the greatest experiences in life an investor can experience is, receiving a commendation from some one who has observed your progress admiring your character and values your integrity. Over a 4 day school of learning with an average of 50 students in our class It cam to my turn to address the class for 20minutes, I was unaware but some four hrs latter many of the folk approached me with complements and gifts, what was said in that time would be remembered for a long time to come some saying they wished my talk had gone on for... continue reading >>Vendor turned Investor

My first vendor that I did my very first vacant land deal with is now one of my private investor in wholesaling property. How has this come about simply by applying a very important practice when buy and selling property and that is meeting the NEED of both the seller and the buyer. Money that he has from the sale of his property was now ear tagged for my property deals, when I need to go long with an option over a piece of real estate he's there, for example when I need capital to add value to vacant land... continue reading >>Vacant Land

I discovered recently how powerful it is to control vacant land just with a piece of paper called an Put Option. With a 104acres under control potential upside of 1.4m, for a developer, with an assignment fee of only 40k I will have buyers lining up at my door. I am now going for the jugular with a 300acre block, DA approved for 335 residential house lots and upside of 14.2m over 5 yrs not bad, my option fee is only 250k.If you are thinking of taking up a career as an real estate investing and in... continue reading >>

Hi every one I was at a funeral recently and if you know anything about Maori people you come to realize the funeral process can go on for up to seven days. Part of my privilege at these proceedings is to sit at a forum that WELCOMES the people who come to pay their respects. What in all heaven's has this got to do with real estate??? Well nothing directly however as I listened to the various people pay their condolences to the deceased person and her family I could not help but think how an amazing women she was,... continue reading >>Any Ideas

A weekend of exploring the possibilities of securing an option over houses that have been advertised for weeks in some cases months by agents. As my partner and I went through books of listed properties, we could not help but see that many of these houses are over priced still, also no obvious indication of motivated sellers at least in the adds. Is there still an opportunity for wholesalers here that we are not seeing???? so on the blog page we go with the questions to fellow investors who may have an in sight for us. Does any one have... continue reading >>Revisit Old Contracts

Its amazing how much you can get done when you have your office organized and a partner who knows what he's doing. Friday is often a drag for me, but today was something different My office was on fire with my business partner revisiting some old client proposals that 3month ago didn't fit our strategy (long sale). So with a wholesale strategy in one hand and a flex option in the other before my very eyes I saw my partner go into action and secure $14,000,000nz of wholesale property (three separate titles) came under option-we now own the rights to... continue reading >>
Land buying
I cannot help notice that te US market offers so many oppertunities at present in the buying of Bare Land, my sources tell me to invest in the US especially ware you can buy land for as little as $100 Plus and whole sale the same pease leaving at least 50-60% on the table for your buyer, i wish NZ was like this, how ever sellers here a still wanting full retail for their properties. What is your experiance in the US market?
