My strategies are easy to copy and they work. The great thing is my students can even do property transactions remotely. When you think about it, everything these days happens digitally or on the phone, opening the way for interstate deals.
(PRWEB) August 21, 2013
Social acceptance of innovative property investing strategies is gradually growing in Australia, says real estate strategist and property master, Rick Otton. During a Creative Real Estate podcast, Mr Otton reveals times have changed, with investors lending more support to techniques such as positive cash flow and vendor finance in place of banking loans.
During the podcast, the property millionaire said even real estate agents were increasingly willing to try alternate strategies.
“I heard about a man who was trying to buy a property. The sellers had it on the market for around $640,000, but he offered $600,000,” Mr Otton said.
“The real estate agent said, ‘if you haven’t got all the money, the sellers will vendor finance you for the money you haven’t got’. This just goes to show the shift in the market place as these kinds of strategies that I’ve been promoting for years are now becoming much more mainstream.”
Changing with the times
For the past two decades, Mr Otton has coached more than 35,000 property investors around the world on his ‘no-money-down’ buying and selling strategies to financial freedom.
Unlike others in the field, Mr Otton’s investment strategies do not require people to have banking finance, a deposit, stamp duty or even any real estate experience.
Mr Otton said his strategies suited the times, as Generation Y’ers were more inclined to prioritise spending money on gadgets and entertainment, than on saving money for home mortgages.
“It’s interesting because what we’re seeing is the old standards changing very, very quickly,” he said.
“My strategies are easy to copy and they work. The great thing is my students can even do property transactions remotely. When you think about it, everything these days happens digitally or on the phone, opening the way for interstate deals.”
Adelaide-based property investor, Ann Jetson, who appeared as a special guest on the podcast, said thanks to Rick Otton’s strategies, she and her husband were able to achieve positive cash flow and growth on their property portfolio.
“There’s no limit to the number of transactions we do because the banks are never going to tell you that you can’t keep making money,” she said.
‘How to Buy a House For a Dollar’ has been voted by Dymocks as well as Money Magazine as one of the top financial books for the year 2013.
