ADVANCED PROPERTY SYSTEMS – Ian Ugarte

Module 1:

The Mistakes Property Investors Make

We kick start our 12-week traning program with the most common mistakes that novice and some experienced investors make! The market is currently changing and you need to stay one step ahead. So to help you avoid costly pitfalls, and carve out a smooth path to success, we’ll challenge old investment paradigms and ensure you’re using only the strategies that work in the CURRENT property market.

Module 2:

Asset Protection And Trust Structures

Unsure of the best purchase entity or structure to buy your properties under? Want to know how advanced investors minimise their tax and protect their property assets while maintaining favourable serviceability with banks to borrow and buy again? Don’t be seduced into asset protections schemes that costs thousands. We’ll give you all the information you need to set up your financial structure right.

Module 3:

Renovation. Can You Flip Your Way To Profit?

We’ve all heard of renovating for profit or property flipping. But can you still renovate your way to property riches? We’ll take you through this strategy’s pros and cons, and explain critical feasibilities and due diligence that you’ll have to take into consideration to understand whether a deal actually tacks up. Just because a property needs a renovation, doesn’t mean you can make money renovating it!

Module 4:

How To Find The Best Deal

So many investors are worried about whether right now is the time to buy, when in fact, the question they should be asking is; “If I buy now, how much should I spend, where should I spend it, and what should I buy? In this module, I’ll share the 27-step process I use on every project to unveil; where to buy, how much you can afford, the risks you should consider, and the best strategy for your budget.

Module 5:

Base Strategies

Inexperienced investors stick to one strategy no matter what the market is doing. Their returns are entirely market dependent. But it’s when you stack strategies that you really double down on your property profit. This module looks at Base Strategies including; Subdivision, Strata Title, Renovation, Retro-Fit, and House Relocation. By the end, you’ll understand how to use these strategies to grow your equity and property income.

Module 6:

Cash-Poor Strategies

It’s not easy to save money for property. Affordability in the current housing market is at an all time low in Australia in particular. But there is hope! In this module we’ll dive into the many alternatives out there that can get you into property investing or grow your portfolio with ‘low or no’ money down like; Savings and Budgeting, Joint Ventures, Vendor Financing, Rentrepreneur, Builders Terms, Swaps, Options, and ‘Rent to Buy’

Module 7: 

Development Strategies

There are so many steps along the way to a successful and profitable property development outcome. In this module learn to hone your skills as a property developer including; how to build your team, managing the D.A. process, how to fast track your applications, and understanding development feasibility calculations. Plus, learn to assess whether a property has development potential.

Module 8: 

Commercial Strategies

Commercial property can be an extremely rewarding place to play, but without the correct knowledge, it becomes a very high-risk game. In this module, we’ll introduce the potential of buying cheaply increasing rents and delivering a massive return on investment. At the end, you’ll advance with the knowledge of Commercial Cash Flow, Weighted Average Lease Expiry, and Yield Calculations.

Module 9:

High Yield & Multiple Income Strategies

When the market is uncertain, you want a high-return strategy that is relatively low-risk and that’s where High Yield & Multiple Income Strategies come into play. Here, we’ll cover everything from Short Stay (AIRBNB), Set and Forget Strategies, HMO, Single Room Rentals, New Generation Boarding House, Rooming House, and the Best and Highest Use of an investment property.

Module 10:

Sell Strategies

In a seller’s market, properties sell quickly and typically for a higher price. But if your property listing is languishing with no ‘bites,’ you may need to look at changing your approach to one of these three things; The Price, The Property, Your Agent. You’ll learn to understand how the language an agent uses can diminish your sale price, how to adjust your listing in search to avoid negatively affecting the price, and how to stage your property to maximise returns.

Module 11:

Property Finance & Depreciation

Understanding property finance and accounting, and knowing how to structure these to work in your favour can make or break your success. In this module, we’ll explain loan serviceability and look at ways to ensure you can borrow again to finance your next deal. Learn to understand commercial finance, its benefits and pitfalls, and how easy it will be to resell. Plus, we’ll dive into depreciation, and how to use it to maximise your profit on each project.

Module 12: 

Undertanding Subdivision

Subdivision is a great way to manufacture growth in the value of your property. By taking a single parcel of land and dividing it into multiple parcels, you have the opportunity to also multiply your profit. In this module, we’ll discuss; how to determine your potential outcome through council local planning schemes, understanding subdivision terminology, and key feasibilities you’ll undertake to assess the profitability of a possible subdivision project.
