Rick Otton Reveals Why Interest Rate Announcements Don't Faze Him
(PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- Rick Otton, successful author and property millionaire, today asked why people were so fixated on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s monthly decisions on interest rates.
“I was asked if I was relieved on 2 July when the cash rate was unchanged by the RBA. Sometimes, people assume that because I have a lot to do with property investing, interest rates are really important to me,” said Mr Otton.
“I don’t understand it. People pay so much attention to a couple of percentage points, as if it were life and death – but with the strategies I use for property investing – interest rate fluctuations don’t matter at all. Being at the mercy of banks is to me a very constrained way to build long term wealth.”
Mr Otton has built a successful property portfolio using non-traditional property investment strategies. His focus, outlined in his book ‘How To Buy A House For A Dollar’, is on growth and cash flow. Notably, he says getting out of the traditional ‘savings, deposit, mortgage’ mindset is the key to ignoring the Reserve Bank’s decisions.
“I’ve seen too many people banging their heads up against a brick wall, thinking that they can’t get into property investment for reasons that no longer hold true: because they don’t have real estate experience, or a huge deposit, or masses of equity, or can’t get a home loan or the interest rates are too high,” said Mr Otton.
During his ultimate real estate bootcamps and real estate investment courses, Mr Otton has taught thousands of people his unique, people-focussed methods.
“I love real estate, and that’s why it is my full time focus. In fact, my mission is to get ten thousand Australians to buy a house for a dollar! One of my favourite moments during my seminars and bootcamps is seeing the penny (or maybe it’s the dollar!) drop for people, and they realise that these strategies can actually work for them.”
“Using my techniques and tools, you don’t need to worry about whether the interest rate is low, high or tied in a bow. It’s not about waiting for a number to rise or fall. It’s about identifying a problem and finding a solution that works for the seller, the buyer and for you. We can leave the banks, and their mortgages and interest rates, out of it entirely,” Mr Otton said.
Mr Otton has a series of live events coming up in Australia in August. Go to http://www.howtobuyahouseforadollar.com/register/ to find out how you can learn how to be impervious to interest rate fluctuations.
