How To Buy A House For A Dollar Book Tour Event in Sydney last August
How To Buy A House For A Dollar Book Tour Event in Sydney last August

(PRWEB) September 28, 2013 -- Rick Otton, the innovative mind behind creative real estate strategies in Australia, warns renovators on the hidden dangers of renovating, and urges them to try safer ways of going into property investment which do not post any health risks.

The Medical Journal of Australia recently found that six out of ten do-it-yourself renovators have been exposed to asbestos, but only 15 percent use protective gear when doing renovation projects.

I’m sharing these solutions now to teach more people that there is an easier and safer way to profit from renovations, and potentially save lives in the process,

Post this

According to a report from News.com.au published on 20 September 2013, asbestos had been banned in Australia in the 1970s, and it has been identified as a cause of a malignant mesothelioma after years of exposure.

“You don’t have to expose yourself to harmful minerals like asbestos or even lift a hammer just to make a profit out of renovations with the help of the ‘Handyman special.’ This strategy gives you the freedom to find someone who has the skills to renovate a home and partner up with him to make a profitable deal out of a damaged property,” Mr. Otton said.

“The perfect partners for these kinds of deals are skilled workers who don’t have enough deposit to get a property of their own, and instead of letting them pay in cash you just use the manual labour they will put in the property as sweat equity,” he explained further.

“In the end, the ‘handyman’ you partnered with may end up with more profits, but what’s important is that you didn’t have to lift a finger just to make a profit out of a renovation project,” Mr. Otton explained.

“I came up with this strategy because, like most people, I love the benefit that comes from the profits of a renovation, but I don’t like the manual work and risks involved in doing the entire renovation myself. I’m sharing these solutions now to teach more people that there is an easier and safer way to profit from renovations, and potentially save lives in the process,” Mr. Otton shared.

For those who are interested to learn more about creative property solutions, you can join Mr. Otton in his upcoming Newcastle property event on 29 October 2013.

About Rick Otton

Rick Otton is the Australian property coach responsible for creating the creative real estate strategies used in buying and selling houses which are in negative equity. He has been investing in property for 22 years, and he has helped around 30,000 people reach their property goals in the span of his career.

He developed creative real estate strategies in 1991 during the “Savings and Loan Crisis” in the United States of America. With the help of the strategy’s prototype and his wife Jane Otton, he was able to accumulate 76 properties in just 1 year. Mr. Otton constantly updates and improves these strategies as changes are introduced to related legislations and housing regulations.

The immediate success of the strategies prompted him to start the real estate company We Buy Houses Pty Ltd. Mr. Otton is currently the company’s Chief Executive Officer and they now operate business in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., and U.S.A .

Recently, Mr. Otton achieved his life-long dream of publishing his own book- How To Buy A House For A Dollar. It is a compendium of all the strategies a property investor needs to buy and sell houses easily without the need for traditional bank financing.

How To Buy A House For A Dollar received critical acclaim in Australia, making it to the list of Top 10 Most Popular Finance Title for 2013 as voted by Money Magazine and Dymocks Book stores.

Mr. Otton also regularly conducts one-day seminars, free of charge, around Australia about his book. The How To Buy A House For A Dollar One Day Live Event brings together seasoned experts of creative strategies with new students for an interactive discussion of the book’s contents.
