Here's what others say about Real Wealth Australia's Property Mentoring Programs...  

"...we were able to evaluate far more precisely what we needed to do by first identifying our wealth strategy and for the first time our personal and property goals"

Unlike most property students my husband and I came to Real Wealth Australia to undo our property portfolio! We had to go backwards to go forwards. Through the program we were able to evaluate far more precisely what we needed to do by first identifying our wealth strategy and for the first time our personal and property goals.  Having a blueprint to follow was so liberating.

Ed and Helen through their own experiences have developed a mentoring program to guide all students willing to learn (even those of us who thought they knew it all!).  During the year we have both become much more diligent about every aspect of our property portfolio – we leave nothing to chance.

Pearls of wisdom come from attending the course on a monthly basis not to mention direct access to all of Ed and Helen’s panel of experts and of course unprecedented access to Helen via phone, email and one on one.

Investing is about time and knowledge – we have transcended to another level this year both personally and in our property portfolio – the future is bright!

Wendy Stapleton, Toorak Gardens, South Australia

"Their sharing and caring is refreshing and liberating for clients like us who are fearful and eager ..."

Building a property portfolio with serious support and clear structure is what we wanted.  We run our own architecture and art business and have some knowledge of developments but needed to jump in with certainty (as much as there can ever be).  Ed and Helen tell it how it was for them, warts and all and we really appreciated their direct concern and desire for assisting their clients to be successful.

Their integrity shines clear in their bending over backwards with customer service and personal mentoring and follow-up.  Their sharing and caring is refreshing and liberating for clients like us who are fearful and eager to take responsibility for financial freedom for the rest of our life.  The challenges have been stimulating , the other course members communicative and collaborative.

Thank you for a liberating experience which brings us into a new and exciting community.

Catherine Van Wilgenburg, Newport, Victoria

"Being sixteen, a lot of information was very new to me but Helen and Ed made it easy to understand".
It’s given me confidence in my knowledge that in the future I can create a successful property portfolio.
So thank you for everything and good luck with the baby.

Troy Bagenal, Pacific Pines, Queensland

Thanks Helen and Ed while your program is Real Wealth and educating us on so many other subjects that relate to property this in itself has been fantastic.  I have had a lot of personal issues that have stopped me in my tracks – both of you and your team Marjo and Eliza and some of the other people on the course have made this a confidence builder for me without knowing it. I can’t say thank you enough.
Thank you for sharing so much of your experiences with us.

Lesley Bagenal, Pacific Pines, Queensland 

 

 

I am so glad I signed up for this I think it has saved me hundreds of thousands in mistakes that I could have made had I gone alone and not attended this course. 
The course fees were an investment in future property deals.  Very informative, well-rounded course by genuine people who want to see their students do well in property investment.

Rosemary Kelada, Roxburg Park, Victoria

"I found the passion and commitment that Helen and Ed express with their mentoring and educating of clients second to none". 

The knowledge I have learned has been overwhelming – every lesson I could not wait for it to commence.

Two genuine, down to earth people who are wonderful enough to share their experiences and knowledge with us to help and guide us to a “wealthier” future.
I have the confidence now to pursue my dreams without hesitating.  I have two investment properties in six months …the opportunities are endless.  Thank you


Mary Koutras, Noble Park, Victoria

"This program was fantastic". 

A thorough insight into the fundamentals of what it takes to build a successful property portfolio.  They shared their experiences good and bad and provided a great deal of substance.
The decisions we make on our journey in the future will always draw on the lessons learned.
Thank you for your wisdom, knowledge – but most importantly your passion.

Margaret and Steve Jenkins, Brighton, Victoria

I thoroughly enjoyed the program – would highly recommend the course to anyone thinking of investing in property.  The information is invaluable – Helen and Ed are really warm, honest and genuine people and I am so glad I have chosen this course above others.

Nellie Pascoe, Freshwater, New South Wales

Helen and Ed’s course provided us with inspiration, knowledge and ideas to kick start our property investing career.  Their integrity and enthusiasm in sharing their know how and experiences – a perfect fit with a range of quality presentations from professionals involved in every aspect of real estate, finance and consultants in every possible forms of investment.

Jason Cursley, Caringbah, NSW

Learned skills about how women can be successful just by looking at Helen and the way she deals with clients and presenters and with people we met on our field trip.  I can now visualize how to get started which was a huge milestone for me. I have a greatly increased level of confidence in starting my investing experience.

Laura Anderson, New Town, New South Wales

“A property portfolio of 7 properties worth $2.5 million in 3 years…”

“Since having the pleasure of meeting and being mentored by Helen & Ed, my husband & I have achieved a property portfolio of 7 properties worth a total of $2.5 M in 3 years.

Had it not been for their knowledge and encouragement we would not have purchased even 1 investment property.”

Tania Morrison, Retired, Narre Warren, Victoria

 

 "As a result of ....the one on one planning sessions, I can now invest aggressively and with confidence!"

"Just when I was thinking there was nowhere you could find specialist help covering all areas of property investing, along came Helen and Ed!
This course has not only helped me purchase more property, it has helped me understand and plan for more profitable and sophisticated investments moving forward. As a result of all the extra ‘out of the classroom’ conversations and the one on one planning sessions, I can now invest aggressively and with confidence!

Helen and Ed are two of the most approachable and genuine people you could wish to have help you on what is at times a confusing journey".

Ben Muzzell, Elwood, Victoria 

“No baby steps with Helen & Ed” 

"Having bought my first investment property… I learnt the damming effects of cross collateralization! Confusion and frustrated of working with bank mangers who are experts in their home loans and products.

I thought my accountants were good at what they did, but having read a number of books I realized their performance was mediocre, they got me tax returns, but I was always left wondering what I can do better.

I decided to invest in myself during the time that I needed to remove the cross collateralization. It started with a 3 day weekend boot camp, followed by 1 week property investing course which planted seeds of ideas, but resulted in limited actions, probably due to a lack of confidence. That is when I stumbled upon "Real Wealth Australia" at the Property Expo with Helen there in person. We spoke, I think for no more than 10 minutes, but the phrase "when the student is ready the teacher will appear!" came up and got my self short listed for the next 12 month mentoring programme.
 
No "baby steps with Helen & Ed", even before the course started Helen I had met setting the foundations for the journey, Helen's first gift to me was a small but enlightened read "the Richest Man in Babylon."

The following 6 months were just amazing, the course is rich in content, Helen and Ed's approach uses mistakes and wins that they made in the past as learning examples made it real (banter included for free). The experience does not end there as during the 6 months the class is exposed to a panel of handpicked experts in their field.  I now have a little black book of experts who have the "property investment mindset". The course materials include templates for due diligence, statements and clauses for making offers and buying. Throughout the program access to Helen and Ed is always just a phone call away.

So the results… I secured my second investment property with no money down with in months of starting the course!"

Vj Chhagan, Brunswick, Victoria

“...we saved over $14,000 off the sale price, using the skills we learned …” 

"Helen and Ed from Real Wealth Australia have been an unlimited source of encouragement and good advice for my husband and I since starting their course. Their passion, understanding and  motivation led us to purchase our first investment property interstate before we had even finished the course! We are onto our second one this year already.
Without their help,we would not have been able to invest this quickly. RWA gave us all the best tools to make the right choices, as well as the knowledge & skills we needed to start to build our portfolio. Its all well and good to know you want to invest in property but where, when, how much, who do you need, what experts, which bank, capital growth or positive cash flow- it all seemed too hard!! 

Having Helen and Ed at hand for those tricky insider questions has saved us time, money and the most important one... STRESS!! Our first property we purchased in Brisbane, we saved over $14,000 off the sale price, using the skills we learned from the RWA course. We both work full time and have two businesses so time was our biggest issue. Helen and Ed showed us how we could invest with the least amount of disruption to our lives and lifestyle.

We would always recommend anyone contact Helen at RWA to get you starting in the right direction, even if you have invested in the past. Get the best advice from someone who has done it all before and has made the mistakes- so you dont make them too!"

Jodie & Paul Fleckney, Williamstown, Victoria

 

 

 

 

“We purchased a property…and felt comforted by their support and advice”

"I attended Helen and Ed's course which included valuable information regarding the fundamental elements of buying investment properties, along with many anecdotes to keep things interesting. We purchased a property during the course and felt comforted by their support and advice. I would not hesitate to recommend the course and feel that you would see a return on your course fees after the first deal!"

Bronwyn Smart, Hampton, Victoria

 

 

 

 

“...good knowledge helps to increase my confidence…”

“Since attending the Real Wealth course, my knowledge in property investment has increased immensely. How amazing good knowledge helps to increase my confidence in property investing. As they say, 'a thousand mile journey starts with a small step'. With the Real Wealth Mentoring Program, I have already travelled half of my journey.

The speakers are of great value for us students. I would not hesitate to recommend the Real Wealth Mentoring Program to my friends and family".

John Sing,  Mill Park, Victoria

“I have gone from owning 2 properties to purchasing a further 4 properties…”
 
“With Ed and Helen’s guidance I have gone from owning 2 properties to purchasing a further 4 properties. I have learned from them the difference between being an educated investor and being someone who just purchases property. I am more confident, more certain and a better property investor because of them.”

“One year of mentoring from Real Wealth Australia resulted in my purchasing another 5 properties…”
 
"Previously it took me 6 years to purchase 2 investment properties. One year of mentoring from Real Wealth Australia resulted in my purchasing another 5 properties. They helped me to focus, gather momentum and fast-track my property portfolio.

They also saved me from going through with a couple of purchases which would have been major costly mistakes.  This is just as important as making successful profitable purchases.”
 
Eliza Leung, Kingsford, New South Wales

“Helen and Ed have helped us with tightening up our due diligence, given us practical tips when negotiating and signing contracts on real life deals …”

 
“We have a lot of respect for Helen and Ed. They have acted on their dream of building abundance through property investing. They’ve done the hard yards themselves, paid for their mistakes and are now celebrating their victories.

A major focus for them has become sharing their knowledge to make a positive difference for us investors as we negotiate our way through the property investing maze.

Helen and Ed have helped us with tightening up our due diligence, given us practical tips when negotiating and signing contracts on real life deals and connected us with other like-minded investors. We have felt comforted and reassured, knowing they are mentoring us through the process because they have been there and done it themselves.

We are grateful that they have been so open with their knowledge and are inspired by the heart they have for people.”

 
Grant & Lisa Owen, Glen Waverley, Victoria

“No time like the present to start investing for the future!”
 
“Helen and Ed have been a real inspiration for wealth creation, especially when you hear what they have done in such a short timeframe. Their sessions have certainly given me more knowledge about buying real estate, and mixing with like-minded people gives you the confidence and support to put your knowledge into practice in a positive way. No time like the present to start investing for the future!

“ I took on this course to further my education and to acquire more successful strategies, and have been able to apply the knowledge in the real market place...”
 
“Before working with Ed & Helen and the Real Wealth program, I had already started investing in residential real estate.  I have also read many books and attend seminars on property investment.
Every investor has a different approach and circumstance unique to themselves. I took on this course to further my education and to acquire more successful strategies, and have been able to apply the knowledge in the real market place. 

Ed & Helen are always there to assist and have always challenged my thinking to a higher level of investing.  The program is very comprehensive and easy to understand - a very sensible approach to property investing.
Highly recommended… Thank you Helen & Ed.”
 
Joe Abadi, Brighton, Victoria
“Ed and Helen are looking out for you, not simply running a business…”
 
“What I like about the Real Wealth Australia Property Mentoring Program is that it gives you the confidence to make life changing decisions knowing that Ed and Helen are looking out for you, not simply running a business. 

The solutions are targeted to your personal circumstances and level of understanding making the learning more succinct.

Many of us lead busy lifestyles.  Sharing the workload with others cuts down the time necessary to do proper ‘due diligence’ and bouncing off others gives you a more balanced view”.

“Ed and Helen have been fantastic in taking us through the investing process…”
 
“Before starting this course, we had read LOTS of books on property investing.  However understanding theory is one thing.  Knowing how to practically apply it in an easy step-by-step approach is another!
 
Ed and Helen have been fantastic in taking us through the investing process.  Their practical approach to education and their unwavering focus on due diligence and risk management has given us the confidence & tools to start building our own property portfolio.
 
If you want to know how the property game is played, meet like minded investors, and be challenged and stimulated while having the benefit and experience of two property guru’s on your side, then this course is for you!”

“Helen and Ed have integrity which means you will not be left standing out in the cold…”

“The business is run and owned by successful investors which means that your success is their success. Helen and Ed have integrity which means that you will not be left standing out in the cold once the education has been delivered to you. 

You have a committed support structure dedicated to your success.

You pay a small outlay for a huge return in knowledge, process and finance. (Usually within the first deal) which means you do not need to out lay the tens of thousands Ed and Helen did for their education”

Katharina Hedi, Point Cook, Victoria

“Helen and Ed will help you set and achieve goals you never thought possible…”

“Ed and Helen’s approach to financial freedom through real estate is different to all the others I have seen, both in Australia and New Zealand. 

It is not pie in the sky theories, you benefit from a collection of set backs, hard lessons and victories they have learned themselves as property investors. They had the determination and perhaps even desperation in their early years, to see their own goals through, to keep trying one more time, in an industry where most new players give up.

They will help you set and achieve goals you never thought possible, and along the way give you the encouragement you will need and help you at each “obstacle” they know you will encounter, where others leave you floundering.”

“The property investing strategies that I have learnt have been real highlights for me…”

“The property investing strategies that I’ve learnt, the inner circle of advisers and experts I’ve been introduced to and the opportunity to network with other like minded students have been real highlights for me.” 

John Fazio, Flemington, Victoria  

“You get to understand all the things that you ‘don’t know that, you don’t know’ about real estate investing...”

By knowing about the risks that you expose yourself to, you are able to manage these risks.

With Real Wealth’s guiding hand and mentoring, you are able to make sound judgements based on knowledge therefore taking the guess work out of your investment choices. Real Wealth supplies you with so much information, that you will not be able to make a bad investment”. 

Peter Finnigan, Doncaster, Victoria

 

 

 

They share everything they have learned freely so we can skip some of the hurdles we would come up against if we were to take the property investing plunge on our own.  They treat their clients more like friends so it’s a very supportive nurturing environment for the novices and a great forum for those more experienced to bounce off ideas and refine skills”.

“The one on one mentoring sessions are really worth thier weight in gold...”

“Being able to network with other like minded people allows you to share ideas, learn from each other and gain that much needed emotional support.

It’s amazing how motivating it is to be around people who understand and support what you are trying to achieve. Plus the one-on-one mentoring sessions are really worth their weight in gold.
Being able to put theory into practice for you personally by figuring out what works best for your situation, is where the rubber really starts to hit the road”.

Lisa Webb, Clayfield, Queensland

“Helen and Ed are there every step of the way…”
 
“Helen and Ed are "real people" who are there every step of the way to helping you achieve your property investing goals. They have certainly taught us so much. We recommend them to both novice and expert alike.”
 
David Glat & Monica Tanner, East Bentleigh, Victoria

“Your education has proven itself over and over again…”

“Helen & Ed, thank you for sharing your property wisdom and guidance through the course. Your education has proven itself over and over again.

I am now well on my way to financial freedom. An enjoyable experience with lots of fun along the way.”
