Margaret Lomas<\/strong>
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 About the time this program is due to go out on Saturday, February 28, there will be the Sydney Property Intensive 2015, which is happening that features six property investment professionals, basically put together by Margaret Lomas to keep the bastards honest. They are your words, Margaret, so I\u2019ll use them.
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 They are my words. I wasn\u2019t actually going to say that, though, Kevin.
\nWhat happened is one time that I was doing the show on\u00a0Your Money, Your Call<\/i>, I started chatting with some of my guests afterwards. We always talk about the fact that every time the property market is looking good \u2013 which, of course, it is in many states at the moment \u2013 we always talk about the fact that then what happens is the spruikers start coming out of the woodwork.
\nWhen people are enthusiastic about a property market, whether they\u2019re thinking for the first time or the next time about buying another property or their first property, then they start to become a little bit vulnerable, and I think the spruikers know that. They take advantage of that. They come out, they start offering these expensive courses, and they start selling property with big commissions.
\nWe just decided that we had whinged about it long enough and it was time that we actually put our money where our mouth is, and put together a day where people can come and know that that\u2019s not going to happen to them.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 As I said at the start, it\u2019s on today, Saturday, February 28 in Sydney, but don\u2019t despair because it\u2019s coming up on April 18 in Melbourne, and I believe you\u2019re also going to be in Brisbane, as well?
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 Yes, absolutely. We don\u2019t have a Brisbane date yet, and of course, we\u2019re looking for expressions of interest there, but the important thing to know about this is that in both Sydney and Melbourne, we have good markets. The Sydney market is cooling, but I still think there are some areas in Sydney that will go on to still deliver some pretty good growth, particularly in some of those southwestern suburbs.
\nMelbourne, of course, has been really quiet, but we see the December quarter figure shows that Melbourne\u2019s already started on its move. If we just cut out that CBD apartment and living where we have tower after tower being built, we have got a lot of great suburbs in Melbourne \u2013 down towards the southeast just out to the west around Sunshine \u2013 where I think we\u2019re going to see some great growth in 2015.
\nAt our Melbourne Property Intensive, we\u2019re going to be talking about not only the Melbourne market and what\u2019s happening in Melbourne and where the best properties are to buy, we\u2019re going to talk about the growth drivers, but we\u2019re also going to be trying to improve everybody\u2019s bottom line. We think we can do that by a significant amount of money just with the strategies we\u2019ll be talking about.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 As distinct from the spruikers, there is nothing to buy at the intensive, Margaret?
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 No, absolutely not. We say that we have nothing to sell except our expertise, and we don\u2019t mean that we are selling our expertise, but we mean you\u2019re getting it that day. You come along and you\u2019re going to have access to us.
\nWe\u2019re keeping the numbers small, too, Kevin, because I think if you have these massive big crowds, then people can\u2019t get to you to ask the right questions. We\u2019re trying to keep it reasonably intimate, and all you\u2019re going to get is some really good quality strategic information that is going to help you make 2015 better and help you to find those markets.
\nIt\u2019s a bit confusing at the moment as to where we should be looking next, what\u2019s really happening in Sydney, is Melbourne going to take off, and of course, we believe there are some good opportunities in Melbourne, but\u00a0where<\/i>\u00a0are they? That\u2019s what we would like to talk about on the day.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 That\u2019s what you\u2019ll be getting. That Melbourne Intensive, as I said, is on April 18. Just go to the website YourPropertyTeam.com.au. There are six speakers apart from you, Margaret. You\u2019re always a regular on our show, and we also talk to Dr. Andrew Wilson from the Domain Group and Brad Beer from BMT, who are both going to be on stage, as well.
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 Yes, indeed. Of course,\u00a0Property Success<\/i>\u00a0team member Ian Rodrigues who is fabulous with all that property tax. Lisa Montgomery, who\u2019s a finance guru \u2013 and of course, we all know about her finance expertise \u2013 is going to be there, as well. And let\u2019s not forget those really important strata and legal lessons that Michael Teys can give to people.
\nA lot of people get into strata living these days, yet they don\u2019t realize how dangerous that can be and how many traps there are when you\u2019re buying a strata property. Michael is going to talk about what those typical traps are and how to make sure that they don\u2019t happen to you this year.
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0 We\u2019ve had Michael on the show, too. He\u2019s always great value. All six people are fantastic. That\u2019s the Melbourne Intensive 2015, April 18. You can find all the details on the website YourPropertyTeam.com.au.
\nAs usual, Margaret, all power to you. Keep up the good work.
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 Thank you, we will. We\u2019re going to get out there and we\u2019re going to get those bastards, won\u2019t we?
\nKevin:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Margaret Lomas from Destiny Financial Solutions and also the star of\u00a0Your Money, Your Call<\/i>\u00a0on Sky TV. Thanks, Margaret.
\nMargaret:<\/b>\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
