RICHARD VAN PROCTOR

Knowing that property had to be the way to a more financial future we took our first step in 1999 and invested in a 2 bed unit in East Perth with TIC. We couldn't do anything again until 2001 when we invested in 2 properties in Brisbane. Helping others then became a way of life so in 2002 together with Frank Friedman we took on the Branch Manager role. The fun has never stopped! And property prices have not stopped increasing. Using the Club system and our expert brokers we have been able to invest in properties from Cairns to Brisbane to Gold Coast and now Sydney and Melbourne. Eight years after we started, we now have loans over $3M but who cares when we have property worth over $5M. Not a bad capital gain. With Lines of Credit based on increased equity we have not only been able to invest in more properties but also have funds available for those little extras - like visiting Antarctica recently! My goals now include helping others, being able to give value and have FUN doing it.

Richard will be presenting on the following topics: Monday 6th April 2009, Workshop on “The TIC Retirement Plan”.

KIRSTYN MARRIOTT

Kirstyn along with her husband Rod and 3 children, resided in country Victoria running a 650 cow dairy farm along with Rod’s Brother and His family. Farming became harder, with all the external factors like drought, low milk prices, long hours, high feed costs etc. They fel t as if they were just going around in circles. When they started looking for a better way to create wealth, property investing kept coming to the forefront. Hours and dollars were spent researching and attending seminars learning how to leverage into the property market. Trips to the USA to look at the properties on offer in New York State. A good friend mentioned The Investors Club and it seemed to good to be true. A successful club purchase and the rest is history. Hear how they used their farm equity to start their property portfolio and allow them to move forward to a lifestyle that was once a dream!

WENDY PRIESTLY

Wendy’s story is that her and husband John came across The Investors Club in 1997 at a Darling Harbour Expo. We then went to several meetings, spoke to a number of existing purchasers and got to know many of the features of the Club’s approach to purchasing property.

With a line of credit in place and loans arranged by Club Loans, we have been able to purchase since 1998, over 20 properties with the Club in this time. Our total property portfolio has now reached $12+ million in a little more than 10 years. It has only been with the help and support of The Investors Club, that we have been able to learn and pass on the knowledge of how to buy and hold investment property at little or no cost and how to hold for long term wealth creation and retirement funding. With the support of The Club we have been able to use the Kevin Young Wealth Plan to achieve financial independence and retire from our paid employment since August 2004, with access to over $100 000 of passive income available from our properties.

Wendy will be presenting on the following topics: “Cashflow on Multiple Properties” & “FIDO – Financial Independence Date Organiser Workshop.

After a time she was able to continue on the journey they had started together, and with the support of TIC, Ellie acquired another six properties between 2005 and 2007.
