Rick Otton Proposes Creative Solutions to Ease Youth Housing Plight
(PRWEB) January 08, 2014 -- Young people in Sydney are paying up to $215 per week to sleep on balconies just to secure accommodation in the city’s inner areas, a media report has revealed. Real estate advocate, Rick Otton, says this situation is ludicrous and has proposed a raft of radical solutions to ease the squeeze on the rental market.
Youth website The Vine recently published an article profiling a 20-something-year-old man who was paying $215 to sleep on his friend’s balcony in Newtown, while another tenant was bunking down in the laundry.
His situation is typical of many of his generation, battling financial problems, a weak credit history and difficulties in securing housing. While some people are toughing it out in sub-par living share house arrangements, others are turning to alternatives, such as boarding houses.
Mr Otton, a professional property investor, author and educator, said young people did not need to be locked out of stable accommodation.
“We need to empower our youth by exposing them to a new paradigm of property investing and home ownership that works regardless of location, geography or market fluctuations,” he said.
Growth and cash flow
The real estate strategist said asset accumulation and protection could be gained through non-traditional strategies that nurtured win-win-win scenarios for buyers, sellers and transaction facilitators.
He said his unique property investing strategies were particularly relevant to those people struggling to scrape together sufficient cash for deposits, stamp duty, agent commissions, or other financial elements of house buying.
“Up until the last few years, my techniques were considered unconventional in Australia, yet the strategies that I’ve used in mentoring tens of thousands of people are now embraced here and in other parts of the world,” Mr Otton said.
“Because you are investing very little or none of your own money, they are low-risk and high-reward, not to mention very easy to implement. These strategies can deliver financial freedom to those willing to adopt a new approach to property investing in Australia.”
While Mr Otton regularly runs intensive real estate property seminars and workshops around the world, he also provides easy-to-access resources on his website.
These include the no-charge, information-packed, Power Property Profits Pack that reveals tips on how to buy a house without a new bank loan, the latest renovation secrets, buying properties at a discount and how to turn negative geared properties into positive ones.
