About Gary's Coaching

Gary’s book “Property Millionaire – The Guidebook to Having Great Australian Dreams” has a very interesting anecdote about café latte and its connection to property investment.  Now I’m an investor, it’s a great reason to experience coffee wherever I go.

You see before I was a property investor, coffee was just a bad habit.  I was in a rut, in need of a personal challenge, and lacking direction.  Gary’s coaching, has given me the confidence and ambition to go after 10 investment properties in five years, as a platform for financial freedom.  I’ve settled on my first investment property, about 45 days after Gary’s coaching.

I’ve known Gary and have admired his property investment skills and knowledge for many years.  However it was only recently that I embraced property investment as my own solution towards future financial freedom.  Nevertheless, over 10 years, my small property has doubled in value giving me equity to invest with – that’s one of the advantages you get with investment property irrespective of your skills.

Gary’s coaching involved applying property leverage principles from his book “Property Millionaire …” through his property investment game (Property Millionaire – The Boardgame), intense one-on-one coaching, role-playing and practical field exercises.  I made lots of mistakes in the boardgame and with the exercises, but the beauty of it all was it was done in a safe, simulated property environment that I could take risks, make mistakes and learn without fear of the real life consequences.  It was not a perfect performance on my part, but it was a perfect way to learn the ropes.  My last coaching session with Gary involved setting an initial target of getting my financial affairs in order and my first property settled in 90 days and a second property in 90 days after that.  I found the plan a bit intimidating and thought the timeframe was too short but once I committed I found my momentum moved quickly.  Within 6 days after returning home to Queensland, I had my house re-valued, re-financed my home loan, engaged a solicitor, purchased a computer for research and email, sold some shares to cover set up costs, and visited some property prospects.  I did more in 6 days than I had done in the last 25 years.  It was a great feeling to be in charge of my own future.

Because I felt I still had a few things to learn and experience and the risk of going alone was still too great for my comfort, I decided to engage Gary as my broker in negotiating property on my behalf.  Two and a half days later, he brokered a spectacular deal for me.  Gary leveraged the deal using a number of the principles expounded in his book to devastating effect.  With tax deductible expenses and running costs, it will cost me less than a cup of coffee a day.  As I have been known to drink about 10 cups of coffee a day, the thought of one day having 10 properties doesn’t seem as difficult as I once thought.  I’ve arranged to engage Gary for a field trip for my 2nd property so I can learn even more at close quarters.  If that’s successful, I’ll be 90 days ahead of schedule on my original target timeframe.

With coaching and the benefit of field experience with Gary, he’s given me a great start in my wealth and life plan.  By the time I purchase my 3^rd property in 12 months, I’ll be flying solo.

I simply love the “Happy Hour” – a magic moment in property investment and negotiation at its best and on-location!

 After I read “Property Millionaire” I was very excited about applying Gary’s property investment principles either: by playing the boardgame through a workshop or a by being coached property leverage from a master negotiator and property investor first hand.  In the end, the order didn’t matter – it’s about gaining experience.  I decided to engage Gary to coach me (and broker and negotiate) on location in regional NSW over two days.  (I will do a boardgame workshop later to consolidate my knowledge further.)  While I was aware of Gary’s great negotiation skills from what other people had said, nothing prepared me for what I now call the Property Investment “Happy Hour”.

 I was astounded when Gary brokered on my behalf and completed the first negotiation in less than 15 minutes. I had secured a great value for money property for under the listed price and the whole deal was done in the “happy hour” between 3pm and 4pm.  By 5pm I was on a high, laughing and celebrating with a schooner of beer that tasted so nice.  The experience had been exhilarating like being struck by lightning – but it was no fluke.  The next day, Gary showed me the property investment “happy hour” in action again, and I got a second investment property.  You can truly relax with Gary’s coaching methods, but more likely you’ll be super-charged and motivated to go out and do it once you’ve experienced the “happy hour” first-hand.

Prior to my trip with Gary, a vision of having a multi-property portfolio and choices for early retirement in five years seemed hard to imagine.  I previously looked at my life as working until my late 50’s.  Then Gary shared with me a magic moment, of what could be achieved in one “happy hour” with good pre-planning and negotiation.  When I experienced the “happy hour” again in another regional location, less than a day later, I knew Gary’s “happy hour” script was a secret I would treasure forever.  (Thank you, Gary.)  The ramifications for my family are the securing of a supplementary passive income in the not so distant future.  I’m looking forward to purchasing additional properties this year and in subsequent years during many more “happy hours”.  I left home on our trip with average aspirations, and returned the next day after the life changing experience of Gary’s intense coaching, as a man on a mission. I could hardly contain myself when I came back and told my family and friends about my experience and my new vision for the future for my family.  Even now I am still riding high.  I can truly tell you that the only thing better than me re-telling my “Happy Hour” experience, would be for you to experience your own “happy hour” or two on a couple of days out coaching on-location with Gary.

"We all need to develop our knowledge and skills to provide for ourselves into the future.   In his book, ‘Property Millionaire’, Gary Seeto shows you how to achieve that through investing in properties.  I regard Gary's book as an essential resource for anyone new to property investment and needing the direction and tools to get started.  Even seasoned investors will pick up tips to help them get better results. 

On a more personal note, anyone who meets Gary is sure to recognise and value his focus, determination, sincerity, empathy and integrity.  He lives and breathes property investment but he takes time to smell the roses (or coffee) and nurture good relationships along the way.  Gary explains a planned approach to building a property investment portfolio in a simple yet entertaining and thought-provoking way."

"I went from having over $70,000 in personal debt to owning investment properties in three States within 12 months using Gary Seeto´s financial strategies and tactics. Gary has moulded various universal ´success´ principles into his own style. I feel extremely fortunate to have benefited from his winning formula in my own quest for financial freedom and a more balanced life.

When I first talked to Gary about investing in real estate I had no idea of the terrific journey I was about to embark on. What happened in the following 12 months (and then the next) was amazing. Gary showed me how to shift my mindset to be in harmony with my desires, how powerful ritual visualisation can be, how vital that first ´leap of faith´ is and heaps of other strategies to help maintain momentum.

Be warned though. The information Gary selflessly parts with has a way of naturally guiding you toward reaching your full potential. You may find, like I did, that not only can your real estate investment portfolio receive a turbo-charged blast off, other aspects of your life may also take a turn for the better. If you truly want to learn skills to help you reach financial freedom and an abundance of success, I highly recommend you add Gary´s new book, “Property Millionaire: The Guidebook to Having Great Australian Dreams”, and boardgame, "Property Millionaire – The Boardgame ^TM", to the pride of place on your bookshelf."

"For a number of years I had thought of buying an investment property, but had no idea where to start, who I could trust or where to go. I also thought that whatever I bought would need to be flashy and fairly expensive, and so was reluctant to take the risk; that was until I talked with Gary Seeto.

Gary, through his experience, research, and business intelligence, quickly dispelled any myths and made me realise the process was relatively easy and low risk. Gary's approach is logical, based on sound judgement, and you don't need to be an accountant to understand the process. I now have a property receiving a great yield, it's capital value has tripled, and I am looking for the next one."

"I started my investment in real estate journey about 12 months ago. As a relatively recent migrant to Australia I did not have any previous experience in property investment.

Gary Seeto, my ex boss and now a good friend, provided me with loads of very valuable advice. After a few hours of very intensive and backed up by real examples sessions with Gary I made a decision to enter the property investment market.

My portfolio is not big at present, but I am constantly looking for more opportunities. In the last 12 months I have purchased three properties based on applying some basic selection criteria and simple return on investment formulas that Gary coached me in. The biggest benefit for me from all the discussions I had with Gary is not only my now reasonably good understanding of the property investment arena but most importantly the confidence I have gained in all dealings with financial institutions, real estate and property management people.

Gary's knowledge and experience in property management and financial planning is extensive. What I like the most about Gary is that he is always very approachable and pragmatic in his way of assisting people. I really enjoy discussing property investment and financial planning with Gary and hope to considerably increase my portfolio in years to come.

I would like to thank Gary for his unconditional assistance and look forward to a long friendship."
