I've been
busy this week attending my first interstate speaking engagements for
2009 in Perth. First stop was the Women's Network Australia

Next, the WAIP property investing group.
This
Saturday I'll be presenting at the Breakthrough Marketing Symposium
event before gearing up for our own event on Saturday 14th March.
Our event
will be THE
ONLY Affluencia property event we are running in 2009.
Full event details are here. If you
intend attending, you need to book

Until next week,
happy investing!

Safe as Houses
The dive in the price of shares over the
past few months is very interesting from the perspective of a property
investor. Where literally millions of dollars can be wiped
off the values of shares in one day, it certainly highlights the fact
that when it comes to the share market, what do you actually physically
own? And what is it truly worth?
You’ll have heard the term “safe as
houses”. With property you are investing in bricks
and mortar. You can touch it and you can see it.
This is one the key reasons people love to invest in
property: the perception that if you can touch it then it
must be more secure.
What happens when the share market takes a hit? People panic
and jump into property. What happens when property
slumps? People sell up and jump into the share
market. The human psyche is very predictable as is the
behaviour of inexperienced investors.
The recent dive in the share market has been triggered by
market nervousness and lack of confidence in the US economy
and how it handles the home mortgage crisis. So concerns
around property have caused shares to plummet –
isn’t that interesting!
Property has been out of favour for some time. Fewer
investors means less stock, with the result being rents have steadily
increased. Add to the mix the many interest rate cuts we have
enjoyed over the past few months. People are always going to
need somewhere to live. So even if the property market
stagnates or even drops in value, eventually the market picks up as
there is always a demand to house people.
It will be interesting to watch whether there will be a resurgence in
the property market as those share investors who didn't lose their
shirts look to park their money elsewhere. Rents are the
highest they have been for some time, so coupled with low interest
rates the yields investors can now secure are bound to lure
some share investors back into the property market.
Smart investors know the best time to cherry pick the bargains is when
all the mum and dad investors are basing their investing decisions on
fear and following the pack. The next few months look set to
be a prime time to take advantage of opportunities as they develop in
the property market.

Ana Stankovic of Winning
Formulas for Success
Question
1 What
has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
It’s
always challenging to jump ship in the middle of a career, which in my
case meant moving from IT management to real estate
investing.
The first place you look when that happens is to a mentor, and while
there is plenty of “how to” information out there,
none of it prepares
you for the cold slap of reality when buying and selling those first
few properties. So my biggest challenge was pressing forward
with
not much more than my self-taught learning curve and a firm belief in
my ability to make it. It’s the same challenge
anyone must
conquer in order to succeed.
Question
2 If
you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do
differently?
Luckily
for me, I came from a world in which analysis and preparation is
everything. So I arrived in the real estate world with these
attributes in place, and they’ve served me well. So
the answer
is, I wouldn’t change much if I had the chance to do it all
over again,
which is one of the reasons I now teach others on how to launch their
own business from the same perspective. The intersection of
knowledge and preparation is where you find success, and this is
especially true in real estate.
Question
3 Who
do you admire and why?
I
admire anyone who takes the time to look before they leap, then summons
the courage to make the jump in spite of the risks, which
they’ve
mitigated through a process of thorough preparation. That
makes
my list of heroes a bit long, because that’s pretty much the
common
thread among all high achievers – they prepare, they believe,
and they
go for it. Richard Branson comes to mind as someone who does
all
that with a high level of creativity and passion, which is what I try
to bring to my work, too.
Question 4 It
takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in
business. What keeps you motivated?
For
me motivation is a combination of things, sort of a sum that exceeds
the parts. First, real estate is a high stakes game, you win
big
or you lose big. Those stakes make the process of preparation
meaningful and exciting, and when you do it with confidence
that’s what
makes it fun. I also strive to create a win-win with those
from
whom I buy property and for those to whom I rent and sell.
And
now, because I’m teaching my approach and making my tools
available to
others, it’s very motivating to know that I’m
touching the lives of
other people in a positive way. Sure it’s about the
money – what
business isn’t? – but that alone is a hollow
victory, and I’m in this
for more than that. It’s the people that motivate
me the most.
Question
5 What
are your 3 biggest success tips?
1. Preparation is
essential in just about any endeavor. And in real estate
there are
so
many variables to consider, many of them out of your control.
So you
must get
your head about what they are and strive to control what you
can in context to
what
you can’t.
2. Secondly, the
use of sophisticated analytical tools that move the decision point
from
the seat of your pants to the front of your brain.
3. Perhaps
most
importantly, the will to persevere and grow in your chosen
field.
The
learning never stops, and those who endure and succeed are those who
always remain a student of their profession.
