Property spruiker under microscope
Queensland?s Office of Fair Trading and ASIC probing Kevin Young?s Property Club
FAIR Trading authorities and the corporate cops are probing ?Australia?s no. 1 wealth creator? ? a real estate investment club through which 14,000 people across Australia have bought 17,000 properties.
The Queensland Office of Fair Trading?s investigation into Brisbane-based Property Club ? founded by multi-millionaire Kevin Young and previously known as The Investors Club or TIC ? is understood to be covering allegations that Club members have been misled by claims that:
* RECOMMENDED properties are the ?cream of the crop? when they are not;
* THE Club is a buyer?s agent, when a company of which Mr Young and his wife are the directors earns commissions when developers sell to members.
?We are investigating,? said a Queensland OFT spokesman.
