➊ I have no MONEY
| The Excuse | It needs money to make more money. |
| The Truth | You don’t need money to make more money. The smart property investors don’t use their own money to invest in property.
A good cash positive property deal at 30% below market value (BMV) will always attract finance from the banks. |
| The Cure | Make sure your investors/ lenders understand your business to source a 100% finance for your BMV properties. |
➋ I have no TIME
| The Excuse | I have to takes more time on property investing, and sacrifice my family time is unavoidable. |
| The Truth | Time management is in your control and has more to do with your priorities and relationships in life. Most people spending too much time on low priority actions such as watching TV and little time working on their business and relationships. |
| The Cure | You need to figure out what are your priorities and make sure it’s help for your future (either business or personal matter).
You need to be wise to use your time to build your property investment business. |
➌ BMV properties does not EXIST
| The Excuse | It’s impossible to buy the properties at 30% BMV |
| The Truth | BMV properties are everywhere if you know where to look for. BMV properties are available in all property cycles and not only in negative property cycles.
Most BMV properties come from motivated sellers for different reasons such as job relocation, divorce, new business ventures, emigration and many more. |
| The Cure | Build your own unique BMV property sourcing system that works best for you in your specific market. For example, engage with the local property agents or join the related group to get the first-hand information. |
➍ Too many property investors out there and the BEST DEALS are sure already taken
| The Excuse | I don’t have the contacts to get me the best deals |

| The Cure | All you need to do is source your own BMV deals, do the numbers and go get the deal. Of course, negotiation skill is essential. |
➎ All property investors are full time CASH FLOW shortage subsidizers
| The Excuse
|
I heard that the property investors out there are losing money each day and even losing their properties in negative property cycles due to the high cash flow shortfalls. |
| The Truth | Whatever you belief will be correct. Listening to advice from pessimists will make you become a pessimist. Cash positive properties are in abundance. |
| The Cure | Educate yourself and do the research to determine your returns. Don’t accept the advice from people who don’t have a more successful property investment business than you do. |
➏ Investing in property will not make me RICH just like others
| The Excuse
|
The yields on property investment barely beat the inflation rate and will never make me financially free. |
| The Truth | History shows us that property prices have on average doubled in value over every 5-7 years. In other words, if you have a RM 1 million property investment portfolio today (2009), it could be worth RM 2 million in 2016 and RM 4 million by 2023. |
| The Cure | What are you waiting for? |
➐ Property investing is high RISK
| The Excuse
|
I know lots of property investors lost millions in property. |
| The Truth | Yes, that’s not wrong. Many uneducated property investors have lost money. Investing in cash positive high growth BMV properties without your own money is the lowest risk property investment you can ever make as you can not lose any money |
| The Cure | You have to educate yourself first before even started planning your investment portfolio. Make sure you understand all the possible risks of each of your property investments. |
➑ I have no idea where should I START
| The Excuse
|
I have no idea where should I start and it requires lost more property investing experience. |
| The Truth | You will never learn everything but you can quickly learn enough to do your first deal. You only gain experience in property investing by take action and doing deals as each deal will not be same. |
| The Cure | After you have educated yourself and get the basic property investment knowledge, you can slowly start to plan for your investment portfolio and find the deal.
