BEST value on the property planet !! How much do I owe to Jan ??? Bless her explanation of "internal rate of return" all those years ago ! Talk about a light bulb moment that turned into millions !! And bless the RBA that kept dropping rates for all those years. Love you too boys ...but only because you mostly get it sooooo wrong and create the busts followed by the booms that can make us wealthy. Such is life. LL
 
I went to a free 1 day seminar of Sean Summervilles about a year or so ago. Some seminars are worth the time for a few ideas or reminders of things you had forgotten about, or people you meet, Sean Summervilles is not one of them. He would have to be the slackest presenter I have seen, and it was only a small room of about 15 people. I don't know why he bothers, so half hearted. He kept leaving the room to make or receive personal phone calls, even if property related. Rick Otten, Dymphna are 20 times better if that puts it in perspective.

Well then.................. can't say he's high pressure slick sales tactics dude then :)

The Y-man
 
Perhaps he is already a multi millionaire from his methods and just does it for fun, which would also mean he doesn't need to charge for his courses :)

Probably has done well, as has many others using the same strategies. Who said he does not charge for his courses??? That's what the seminar was for! Probably figures if he picks up a few students here and there it's pocket money for little extra effort to his normal weekly routine.

But just providing feedback on my experience in relation to Scarlett's question.
 
Scarlett - I think you will find there are more strategies and variations of those than you are currently aware of. You have probably come across a few and think that might be it and wanting to know more details on these. You have probably just noticed the tip of the iceberg!

I suggest attending as many free seminars as you can, read as many books as you can especially from people who operate in the Australian market. Some of the magazines list upcoming seminars. You will then discover more strategies and how each person has a slightly different approach. You may find one that fits your needs/interests ....then 12 months later you find one that appeals more ....5 years later you go to a seminar and hear another which appeals even more and it it is one you dismissed 6 years ago!! Your mind opens up to ideas the more you are exposed to ideas/strategies and the more you learn.

I thought Rick Otten's strategies were a bit too far removed from the norm originally and some of his examples were badly presented (too simplistic and I am very analytically which enabled me to shoot holes in it casting doubt over everything), but a couple of years ago when I was going back over some of his free DVD's picked up at seminars or posted to me and then reading his book I found my mind was now more open and able to absorb alternative strategies and ideas. I then realised how flexible Rick's mind was to was "solving" peoples real estate problems in a win/win situation. Once I started to get inside his head and see how he thought it was like walking out of a forest with tunnel vision and into a wide open field with vision all around. (It has really opened up my mind to buying/selling and finding out what the other persons situation is/why they are selling/buying and structuring a deal which fits with their needs and yours as well - some of Ricks deals are brilliant). I am not suggesting any of Rick's strategies are of interest to me or suitable for others but just using him as an example of how strategies once written off as too far fetched can later make sense. What's that saying .....when the student is ready the teacher will appear - meaning that when your mind is ready it will be able to understand and absorb what could not be earlier.

Try reading books that cover stories from different people using different strategies rather than getting bogged down on one strategy before you expose yourself to others. Oh, one tip - there is no right or wrong strategy as I looked for for many years, just different strategies for different situations - financial, time available, interests, skills, objectives etc etc etc.
 
Hi, Sean Summerville here...

Sean Summerville here,

Firstly let me give you guys some freebies. I have written several books and I will give you 3 free to download.
They are: 47 Ways to Buy Property No Cash Down
I Buy Property for $1, a book I wrote in 2005
and Fortunes in Foreclosures

Great to see the lines of communication open. I hope I can answer some of your questions. First of all lets start with the most important question asked by on this thread which is about buying property no money down. There are many great posts on this but the most important component of buying a house with little or no money has nothing to do with property?? Confused?Thats right it has absolutely nothing to do with property.
It is all to do with your belief system.
If you think you can, then you can and if you think you cant, then you cant. Both are correct. My mentor was a guy who did probably the biggest no money down deal in the history of the world. He took over a Billion Dollar company with no money. I spent about one month at his Ranch in the USA before he passed away. We did not talk property once.

It was all about your communication and your ability to work with others

As far as The Property King. It was one of those nicknames that I was given to me years ago. I was running late for a meeting with some investors. There was a barrister, real estate agent, broker and 4 other property investors. When I rushed into the room late one of them said, 'here he is the no cash down property king of Australia'..we all laughed but that was about 10 years ago. I guess the nickname stuck. It could have been worse, they could have said here is the guy with the smelly socks?lol.

For those that Know You Can..Happy investing

Sean S.

Hah, same info he posted on another Australian property forum in 2012, word for word. Just no links to all of his websites, good to see him learning more valuable ways of spruiking and getting away with it.
 
Wow...Do you actually Buy Property...

I invest in property. I buy $27,000 houses in areas that are worth well over 110k. Grow up and get off this forum and actually buy some property that actually makes some money...Ummmm...I buy lots of property like this one with guys who are in the game:
People tell me not to waste my time on forums like this with people who are all Hat and No Cattle.
I wrote those books and have never given them away on a property website like this before. Tell me, what books have you written and when?
How much have you ever given back to others?
When was the last time you ever purchased a house for $35,000 that rents for $170 per week in Australia that has a 26% ROI and is now worth over 100k. in Australia and recently?
If you are so bitter that you can not allow people to read the information and make up their minds themselves you should look at yourself and not others.

simtr, why should I bother with you. Seriously tough guy I am replying to someone who is asking a question about me. This is not the place for you to anonymously put your thoughts on a website. Make an appointment to meet me in person. I hope those people who want to make a difference in their lives use property as a vehicle to increase their wealth. Happy Investing, Sean Summerville.

All hat, no cattle?
Is patronising people on a property forum really a good strategy?
If you hold these views that property forums are for people who are all talk and no action, why post here in the first place?

I think you've done yourself a disservice here, completely irrespective of the quality of your product.

That's a bold call considering the company you're in here

You aren't giving them away. You are capturing people's details for your database and email list. Sean, the only free cheese is in the mouse trap.

If you were truly giving them away you would provide direct pdf download links without the need to opt in.

Tell me, what books have you written and when?

You're right. You shouldn't bother................so, why are you here again?

Seriously tough guy I am replying to someone who is asking a question about me. This is not the place for you to anonymously put your thoughts on a website.

Actually websites are the very vehicle to post anonymously. There's very good reason that most people here don't use their real names. Not everyone has a commercial need to post under their real identity. Even some of those who run businesses and also contribute valuable knowledge to this great site also use alternate user names. The rest of us are just meager property investors.

Make an appointment to meet me in person. I hope those people who want to make a difference in their lives use property as a vehicle to increase their wealth. Happy Investing, Sean Summerville.

If you have no need to impress, then surely you don't need to get emotive (to use your words) to anonymously put your thoughts on a website. If you only just recently joined this community to seek approval, validate and rationalise and impress, then I doubt you will find much joy here.

If you have something valuable to contribute, beyond spruiking your wares, then bring it on. If not, then stop complaining and explaining. It will do your cause no good.

Ouch, from working on the floor at Jupiter's Casino to becoming the 'Property King', nice work! Shame your LinkedIn blurb is exactly word for word the same as your opening post to this forum. Guess I hit a raw nerve. Glad to see some of your personality come out on this forum though, stick around and share some of your knowledge with us.

Would you kindly provide details of a few of these deals, especially if they are in SEQ so we can verify the same.
I reckon if you give a step by step guide to a few of these deals you may find some forumites may take up some of your courses- certainly there are a few on here who have the money and motivation to do so for the right product.

PS: sledging people about hat size vs cattle ratio (HCR) may not endear many to you. I'm not one of them but I suspect that there are a few on this forum who have made serious money without guruguidance and would be a wealth of knowledge- which they give away for free (still missing Dazz).
