Bothsides Podcast

Want what those 164 families got? Graeme teaches the exact method in a free webinar: https://www.bothsides.au/moneymentor164 families just paid their mortgages to zero. Between them: $52.93 million in principal gone, $54,778,910.18 in interest the banks will never collect, and 3,903 years of repayments wiped out.Then Graeme Holm gave away $40,000 of his own money, live on the show, to eight Bothsides listeners, and told us this is his last episode.Graeme is the founder of Infinity Group, Australia's biggest privately owned brokerage. Across this series he's broken down how families pay off a 30-year mortgage in under 10. This time he opens up the business behind it: why he spends $6,000 on a client who paid him $5,000, why clients keep paying him thousands a year after their mortgage hits zero and he earns no trail commission, why he turns away around 200 of the 830 people who apply every month, and why some of them have his logo tattooed on them.Then we called eight listeners who entered the competition. Their numbers are in the calls: $110,000 off a mortgage in 18 months. $40,000 in six months.One listener three and a half years ahead of schedule. One family who paid off more in two months than they had in the previous ten years. That's $40,000 given away in this episode, and more than $200,000 across the series.

Most homes that match what you're looking for will never show up on realestate.com.In this episode, Daniel Beardall and Josh Yun (the Off-Market King) break down exactly how a property deal gets done, from getting your finance sorted to finding off-market homes and negotiating the price down.In this episode you'll learn:→ The 5 steps every property deal goes through→ The 6 ways to search for property (and why the portals are only one of them)→ How to get access to off-market properties through agents and property managers→ Why you should start in the "sold" section, not the "for sale" section→ How to value a property before you make an offer→ How to use seller motivation and settlement terms to pay less→ The negotiation tactic that took $250,000 off a Sydney homeMost buyers fight over the same few listings everyone else can see, at the price the seller sets. The ones who pay less find the homes nobody else knows about, and it comes down to five steps...Get the free guide: https://go.bothsides.au/scoreFollow Josh:◼️ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejoshyun/Bothsides:◼️ The weekly email - https://bothsides.au◼️ Dan - https://www.instagram.com/daniel_beardall/◼️ Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bothsidespodcastGeneral information only.

Vaughn Royer quit a $150,000-a-year job to knock on doors, and at 21 sold his house to keep the business alive. Today he's turned client outcomes into $450 million in client sales, running ad accounts that spend up to $100,000 a day.He didn't get there by building a personal brand. Vaughn says he's scaled businesses to nine figures with no name, no brand and zero content, and that most of the marketing industry is obsessed with the wrong number - leads, when the only thing that pays the bills is sales.He learned direct response under John Gian, the man he calls the best direct response marketer in Australia, and now runs the ads behind some of the country's biggest names in property, finance and education - built on paid acquisition systems rather than audience building.In this episode, he explains:▪ How he turns $1,000 of ad spend into $3,000 - and the 30/30/30 rule that makes the numbers work▪ Why "we need more creative" is almost never the real problem, and what actually is▪ How to cut your time from first click to closed sale from six months down to six days▪ The four-line formula behind every ad he writes - and why the message beats the visual every time▪ The real reason he refuses to show anyone his best performing ad▪ What it cost him to get here - and what he'd tell his own kids about money that most parents get wrongVaughn builds funnels that keep working while you sleep. Property should work the same way.Most properties only make money if the market does. The ones that pay for themselves from the day you settle are bought differently, and it comes down to four points.Get the free guide: https://go.bothsides.au/scoreFollow Vaughn:◼️ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/vaughnroyer/Bothsides:◼️ The weekly email - https://bothsides.au◼️ Dan - https://www.instagram.com/daniel_beardall/◼️ Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bothsidespodcastGeneral information only.
