The Nation Was Frozen in Fear of an Almighty Property Crash. The Journos Even Had Me Worried

I was starting to second guess my own knowledge and experience. But when I sat down and really analysed the economic data, I knew the major headlines were all bunkum.

I fought back the only way I knew how. I paid for and ran my own headlines in all major newspapers. It cost me over $250,000 bongo-bucks to run the articles and get the word out that the sky was not falling down… whilst the journos got their headline for free. Here are some of the headlines I blasted throughout the newspapers…

Why the recession is great news for real estate investors

The great property boom ahead

The greatest real estate buying opportunity for 40 years

By making those bold headlines I risked to my reputation and put my money where my mouth was.

I put it all on the line.

So why would I take such a massive risk?

Did I have more money than sense?

Did I want to be some sort of martyr?

Was I stupid? Foolish?

There were less risky options. I could have just sat by and made money hand over fist with the knowledge I possessed. I didn’t have to shout it from the rooftops.

But being the last of 7 siblings, sitting and waiting is not my style. So I took massive action, and at the end of the day all my predictions came true. We didn’t have a mighty crash. The market actually went in the opposite direction and surged ahead in a major way.

As you can see from the chart above, had you attended my events in 2009 and taken action on this one little piece of advice you’d be at least $100,000.00 richer by now… whereas those investing in the stock market have seen nothing but sideways movement over this period.

How was I so certain? How did I know our market wasn’t going to collapse? It’s really quite simple.

Journalists are paid to spin stories that make money. Bad news sells – and so the more bad news they can spread the more newspapers they sell. The more newspapers they sell, the more businesses will advertise – and the more money they’ll make.

By comparison, my predictions were based on facts. Listen…

Most People Invest With Emotions and That’s Why They Fail

But real estate investing isn’t about emotion, it’s about mathematics.

I invest in data, research and mathematics.

And I’ll show you exactly where to find the same data so you can replicate my results. You’ve just got to know where to look and how to distinguish the relevant from the irrelevant.

Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing some of this data further down the page. But first, let me tell you a story from one of my clients…
