Wendy's Week

Wendy, Rick and LudwinaWhat an amazing event!  That's me pictured at right with Rick Otton (We Buy Houses) and Ludwina Dautovic (The Red Tent Woman), two of our spectacular guest speakers.  Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive and I'd like to send a big thank you to all those that made the effort to attend.  Well done on taking action!

I'm also honoured to be included in the 2009 Who's Who of Australian Women.  If you'd like to grab a copy of this inspiring book showcasing  the experiences that have shaped 6,600 of Australia’s most remarkable women, and how they in turn have shaped the nation, go here.

Until next week, happy investing!

Strategic Property Investing

One the most common questions I am asked is “where should I buy property?”  That’s a great question, however a better question would be prefaced with “this is my strategy…”

Investing in property can be extremely rewarding, but you need to know how you are going to do it.   Would you buy a new car without first determining your price range, the make, model, colour or included features?  The same applies to property investing.  Research is required to determine HOW you will invest in property.

A key part of “the how” is knowing what you are good at.  Why? When it comes to investing in property, knowing what you are good at will help you determine the strategy you should focus on.

With property, it is a case of "horses for courses".  You will find that you'll be drawn to one or two particular strategies more than others. Take the time to make a plan of what best suits you, your personality and your available time and resources - is it renovating? Is it developing? Is it making changes to a property to increase the value (such as strata titling)? Perhaps it is finding deals for other people?

Work out exactly what you are looking to achieve through investing in property:
  • Are you looking for income? Or growth? Perhaps both (yes, this is possible!)
  • What is your target area and who is your target market?
  • What criteria do you look for (3 bedroom houses, large parcels of land, blocks of units, student accommodation)?
  • Who is going to rent your brand new purchase? Does it suit them?
  • How long are you going to hold it for?
  • What do you do if you can't rent it for any length of time?
Focus on your strengths, make a plan and determine how to best achieve your property investing goals.

Five Minutes with...

Jennie Brown Jennie Brown of Jennie Brown.com.au

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge was when I returned to property investing after being away from it for a few years.  It didn’t help that I had moved to a completely different area in a new State either.  Armed with a few more years under my belt, it wasn’t as easy as it had been when I was younger, more impulsive, and less knowledgeable.  I overcame this by doing lots of research, forming a great support team, and being very clear and focused on what it was that I wanted to achieve.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?
There are a couple of things I would do differently.  The first is that I would form support networks and teams quicker.  The second is that I would leverage more sooner – hire more people, hire more knowledge, hire more skills.  Lastly, I would seek out mentors right from the beginning, instead of thinking I could do it all on my own.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?
For me it’s not about who, it’s all about what.  I admire any person who acts with integrity, courage and honesty – my own value system.  I admire them even more if they combine this with standing up against adversity, or standing up for what is right, or the underdog.  Lastly, I really admire people who use their lives to make a difference – be it as a famous personality or the everyday person on the street.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.  What keeps you motivated?
I’m just so passionate about what I do!  I love creating something out of nothing, I love seeing the properties evolve, I love seeing other people succeed and I love being privileged enough to help others.  When I see success, lives changing, shifts in thinking – I just get so excited and it motivates me to keep doing more!

Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

        1.  Work out your own vision for your life and your value system, and just go for it.  Don’t let anybody talk you out of it, and don’t be distracted by life and other people’s expectations.

         2. Surround yourself with mentors, a support network, and positive people

         3. Have a go!  Don’t live your life with regret – you don’t want to be saying in ten years time “I wish I’d done …”.   Do the work, prepare yourself and have a go!
