Sunshine Coast Property Networking Group

Join us in August at our venue, The Bower Tree for the Sunshine Coast Property Networking Group meeting - and it's set to be a cracker!

There is NOTHING like this quarterly property networking event and we are the envy of all other States!

It's the people we attract, the longevity and the integrity we uphold that makes us second to none Australia-wide!

Here are 5 awesome reasons you need to join us in the room on the night:

• You'll walk away with real strategies, insights and resources that you can implement immediately.

• Unlike other seminars, you won't be pitched to on the night. That's right, no hidden agendas, no shenanigans and definitely no sell-fests! We pride ourselves on being a genuine property networking group.

• The keywords we hear time and again from attendees are 'genuine' and 'integrity'. These are rare commodities, especially in property and you'll get them by the bucketload at this event.

• Whether you are just starting out, have done a few property deals or are a full-time investor... you'll walk away with value. It might be in the quality, content-rich presentations or maybe you'll find your next Joint Venture partner - either way, you'll be glad you came.

• The Real Deals. These are case studies that attendees flock to see each month. We call them Real Deals because they ARE just that. Everyday property investors on their first, second and sometimes third project, having a good honest crack while still holding down a full-time job. It could be a quick renovation, subdivision or a small development. You'll see profit & loss numbers, before and after photos, embarrassing mistakes and above all, lessons learned.

Here's what's in store:
