How have Positive Real Estate helped you reach your goal?

Have not yet reached my goals yet.

However, the most amazing thing was to purchase our first property in Australia, thanks to the awesome team: From Naomi motivating me and finding ways to save more – lots of encouragements!

To Matt finding the “one” lender who would lend to foreigners… and everyone else along the way to reach step, that is amazing.

What are your greatest achievements within Positive Real Estate?

Buying in Australia as foreigners and starting our journey for real estate towards financial independence. It feels real and doable, while safe, which helped my incredulous husband to jump on the bandwagon and trust me.

Just to have been able to start without being scared to death.

10 properties, financial independence in 7 years.

“I’m very happy with my decision to join PRE.”

What specifically has the team at PRE helped you with?

The most valuable thing PRE has helped me with is changing my mindset to look towards newer properties which are better quality. I used to renovate houses to make $$$, but now PRE has taught me to invest smarter. The research that PRE has helped me with has been fantastic. They have made my life so much easier to find a better quality house to buy. Sam’s bus tours have been a fantastic learning exercise for me.

What are 2 key things you’ve achieved this month, quarter or year with PRE?

1. Action – I’ve bought 2 properties off the plan this year, thanks for your help Elaine.

2. Knowledge – Sam, Lana and Elaine have all helped to increase my knowledge on the market in Melbourne and Brisbane – I am really enjoying learning more each day!

What challenges have you overcome?

When I first started, my family was strongly trying to talk me out of joining PRE because they don’t believe in property coaches. This was a real challenge for me because I had to see through this and then think on my own to make a decision.

I’m very happy with my decision to join PRE.

“Understanding quality investments”

Positive Real Estate has helped me with understanding the Melbourne & Brisbane markets, purchasing a great property off the plan in Melbourne and consistent ongoing property education – understanding quality investments.
DREW

“PRE has helped me with insight into property investing”

PRE has helped me with insight into property investing. Two key things I’ve achieved this month are the purchase of an investment property and setting up an SMSF. The challenge I’ve overcome is working for myself with staff members on extended leave.
LOUISE

“Our purchase has all worked out and can’t wait to keep growing our portfolio”

I have always wanted to be an investor. Karen was amazing at figuring out a way to make it all happen. The property we purchased is only a small stepping stone into what will hopefully be a large portfolio one day, but we are very excited to have our foot in the door.
read more...
We only had a small deposit to start with and were very encouraged that we weren’t told to come back once we had more saved.

At only 24 and 25 we are very happy with how our purchase has all worked out and can’t wait to keep growing our portfolio, we are now saving again for our next investment and are so grateful to have all the support and guidance that we have had.

RHIANNA & JASON

“Surround yourself with the right people and make the best decisions possible”

I completed a $21k renovation to increase the overall property value by $41k. The biggest success was increasing rent from $360 per week to $430 per week. Surround yourself with the right people and make the best decisions possible using the best information available at the time!

“What I appreciate most is my Coach’s wonderful support, guidance and knowledge”

In early August 2013, I went to a free seminar held by Positive Real Estate in Cronulla. It was here that I met our property investment coach. I felt an instant liking to her and how she explained how the market was in Australia. She did not have the ego and attitude that many presenters I saw before had.
read more...
She was also genuinely interested and confident in our situation that she could help us move forward in the investing future we wanted.

The team is experienced and genuinely helpful to assist with whatever strategy you choose. I worked with one of their experienced brokers Andrew, who found ways to present our financial situation to the banks in a more favourable way.

But what I appreciate most is my Coach’s wonderful support, guidance and knowledge to help me learn how to buy property on my own. She would challenge my old way of thinking, point out things I had to check and ask before considering purchasing and praise my efforts. With no family and friends to talk about property investing, her support and friendship has been paramount in my confidence and determination to keep investing.

All this was possible, through the guidance and support of our Coach, a great broker who refinanced our home loan and found us loans with more suitable lenders and a fantastic and dedicated team.

We are extremely excited about where the Australian property market is moving at the moment. It doesn’t matter how much money you have to invest, as there is always a good opportunity somewhere. I didn’t understand or know this 12 months ago. George and I are so happy we have made the decisions we have, learnt to spend money more freely to buy what we need and build friendships with a wonderful group of like-minded people.

ANITA & GEORGE

“We bought three properties in 12 months”

We are evidence that property investment works – if only for a couple of years and for the tax benefits, which we are hopeful can improve once property growth occurs.
read more...
We didn’t understand the tax benefits prior to investing but we have thrown ourselves in – we bought three properties in 12 months, set up an SMSF and purchased a property there and we are now looking to diversify into Melbourne, Perth and Sydney where we don’t have any property currently.

“I would have been stuck with one or two of my backyard properties”

Honestly, I have to admit and thank the Positive Real Estate team on my achievement. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with one or two of my backyard properties instead of capital growth suburbs across the country including blue chip areas. Thanks to Amanda, Karen and not forgetting the contracts management team who make the process so much more stress free. Our tenants were already lined up before completion.

“It’s the best move we have made”

There is no way in the world we would be where we are today without the help and advice from Priscilla and the Positive Real Estate team. It was a massive step up in price for Hamilton compared to previous purchases. But it’s the best move we have made. If Priscilla says to do something, my advice is to do it. She knows stuff. She’s the aim of the game and the lighter of our flame!

“We are so glad we joined the program, we would not have done or gained what we have today without it”

We were working to pay our house off with no real direction for our future. We knew we wanted to invest in something but we had heard so many horror stories where people have failed and had to start over again; and never invested again as they were too scared to lose their savings yet again.
read more...
I’d been looking and reading about Positive Real Estate for a few years, we are very sceptical about people ripping you off as it seems to be a common theme our days… but it was soon realised when joining Positive Real Estate that this wasn’t the case.

Amazingly, our Coach is an absolute gem; she has been and always will be great help and our mentor! She is very supportive especially the way she approaches and works through our ideas/goals. Kerry, along with the Positive Real Estate team, has changed our lives forever.

The main thing has been the confidence and tools we have gained to be able to move forward and feel comfortable about decisions we might make. Positive Real Estate gives you valuable information about how the property market can be manipulated (legally, of course!) and it gives you confidence.

We have made some good cash flow from one of our past properties after leasing it for one year. Part of the cash has been put aside for another property in the near future, and the other part purchased our dream car: a 67-fastback mustang. All of this in 18 months!

We are so glad we joined the program, we would not have done or gained what we have today without it.

“Laura & PRE has helped us set up our goals & work out what we really want to achieve.”

Laura & PRE has helped us set up our goals & work out what we really want to achieve. We have set up a budget, paid off our cars & personal loans, cancelled credit cards and regularly look for interesting ways to save even more money. We now have goals in place, a solid strategy and feel very confident in achieving these. We really feel that our future is now a very bright & achievable one.
read more...
Laura has supported us throughout the process of purchasing property & what we need to do next, even over her Christmas break Laura kept in contact with us, as one of our properties settled during the holidays.
 
Shane has been great, keeping us up to date with available properties, helping match the best ones for our strategy, supporting us along the way & making it happen.
 
We love their enthusiasm, honesty & trustworthiness. It is a great feeling to know they are only a phone call away. We also love the education sessions & mixing with people that have similar goals. We really do feel like our dreams are coming true. We actually feel like we are part of a big family.

Our greatest achievement is purchasing three properties in 6 months.  We never would of thought we could ever achieve that.  We have also purchased another property already this year. That will make 4 properties in under 12 months of working with Laura, Shane & PRE.
 
We will continue to save & buy more investment properties. We will continue to go to the education sessions & do more bus tours and learn as much as we can. We feel so much more empowered that we are taking control of our future. We are also using our Super to purchase property and have a lot more control of how our money is invested. We would love to buy a small property in Scotland and AIRBNB it so that we can use it for personal use when we visit family. We are starting to think about where we would like to retire & purchase an investment property that will support that choice.

“We have been members of PRE for 18 months and it has made so much difference to our lives”

We have been members of PRE for 18 months and it has made so much difference to our lives. It was 12 months before we purchased property using Shane and PRE. In the time before we were ready we met regularly with Shane and our coach Naomi in which he spent time with us to understand our situation and what our goals for investing in real estate were. Once our strategy and finances were in place Shane was able to find properties in three areas along the east coast of Australia that met our needs. Purchasing two properties concurrently certainly proved to be a handful but Shane and the PRE team kept us guided, informed, and notified when things were coming along. Now, 18 months down the track we have purchased three investment properties, set up a self-managed super fund and have learned an incredible amount by attending the monthly PRE mentoring workshops. We would highly recommend PRE to others thinking of starting their journey into property investments.
read more...
Working with Carolyn from the start was more like working along side a friend rather than someone you would go to for financial advice and then not see again until you next needed them.

Since being a member of PRE, we have bought two further investment properties via PRE which complemented our existing properties.  Although my wife and I haven’t been as active with PRE since starting a family, Carolyn always makes and effort to touch base with us to see how we are going and offer her support which is always appreciated.

Thanks Carolyn for your support and being a top property coach and friend.
