before we start working with a client and we take no commissions from vendors, salespeople, or developers \u2014 so there are no vested interests or bias in what we recommend.<\/p>\n<p>Some of our clients pay a fee for service for a detailed strategic wealth plan, while others pay a success fee after we research, source, negotiate for and secure an \u201cinvestment grade\u201d property for them

-2022\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:px 0\"\/>\n<h3>Put simply, if the advice is free then you are the product!<\/h3>\n<p>Your adviser should be qualified and a member of a recognised organisation such as the Property Investment Professionals of Australia and be an investor themselves.<\/p>\n<p>They should have a thorough understanding of not only property, but also finance, economics, and the taxation system as far as it relates to real estate investment.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, your advisor should have no properties for sale, should have a number of investment options available for you depending upon your circumstances, should not make any recommendations at the first meeting, and should not create a \u201csense of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting\u2026all the successful investors and business people I know are prepared to pay for professional advisors in various categories of their life.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, most unsuccessful investors get no advice or \u201cfree\u201d advice and then wonder what went wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, at face value, professional advice can appear to be expensive, given that there is so much free advice available.<\/p>\n<p>You know\u2026 free advice from the real estate agent\u00a0\u2014 but they\u2019re getting paid by the seller, or from the property marketer selling off-the-plan apartments or house and land package\u00a0 but they\u2019re getting paid by the developer (and often quite handsomely.)<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why in my view, you should only be taking advice from someone who doesn\u2019t have a vested interest in the outcome and therefore is working in your best interests.<\/p>\n<h2><span
