I'm sorry if I offended you.
Maybe I should explain the other side..
This weekend I spent 3 days at the Sydney Property Expo.
We pay thousands of dollars to have a stand to
promote “our” services. Remember we are in business.
Over the 3 days hundreds and hundreds of investors came up to speak with me and ask
my opinion an a whole range of things.
That’s OK – I’m happy to give
my opinion.
Often there was a large crowd so I had to be brief and keep the answers short.
Probably half the people who came up to me asked me questions about how to become a property developer and wanted to get into development with either minimal equity or minimal experience.
When I cautioned them it was not what they wanted to hear – so some may have thought I was “arrogant.”
So many people came up for me to help them justify some of
their previous investment decisions and were not happy for me to say I disagreed with them – again I am “arrogant.”
If I say buy in well located inner and middle ring suburbs, person after person made me justify my reasons – because it did not fit in with what they thought or more often with the investment decision they had made.
So rather than explaining my reasons over and over again – I referred people to my book, where I have explained my thoughts succinctly.
I find it interesting that people ask my opion - expect to get it for free and then start arguing and disagreeing with me.... I'm not always right - but if you ask my opinion I'll give you my opinion for what it is worth - not what the hundreds of attendees want to hear.
I am abrupt and short at expos' = sure I am - we had 900 pople ask for opinions over he last weekend in Sydney
Many in this forum agree it’s one of the best books they have read and it was a worthwhile investment – so why do people get upset if I recommend it?
.
Many people who came up and asked my thoughts did not like what I said – they preferred the message from the stand directly opposite us who suggested you could become a property developer with zero dollars.
It’s really easy to sell the concept of
huge profit for little upfront expense and no risk – that’s what people want to hear.
I’m sorry you didn’t hear what you wanted to hear – but it’s really, really hard to make a project stack up in Croydon – that’s a fact.
I’m truly happy your property has increased in value – but so have most properties in Melbourne last year. I still stand by the fact that you can’t make a profit on a 3 unit project in Croydon at present, but you can in the inner suburbs.
And finally I don’t and have never sent 4 emails a week.
I have a strict anti spam policy. All my emails have a clear method of unsubscribing at the end.
Most readers of my e-magazine accept that in return for the great content they receive every fortnight from a wide range of experts, plus the monthly Webcasts where we answer listeners individual questions, I am allowed to promote some of our services.
That seems fair to me.
If you feel this is unfair please unsubscribe and I assure you that the emails will stop.
