Dear Friend,
It's Time To Let You In On A Secret...
When I started investing in real estate back in May 1999, finding positive cashflow properties didn't take a whole lot of skill - you just found an area, crunched the numbers and then signed up to buy as many as the bank would borrow against.
You could be easily forgiven for believing that the glory days of property investing have gone now that cheap properties are confined to the history books. However, I'm here to tell you that there are still plenty of opportunities available to make attractive profits, but in order to unlock them, you'll need to use strategies other than the usual 'buy, hold and hope' approach.
The property market isn't necessarily better or worse than five years ago, it's just different!
Your success as an investor has a lot to do with your ability to evolve with the changing market. If you can't change then you risk becoming an investing dinosaur in that your profits may become extinct because you couldn't adapt to a new landscape.
I can understand if you feel a little uncertain right now - I do too. But we need to overcome our fears and insecurities because the market still holds fantastic opportunities for those who can think differently.
In the past I have been very uneasy about property developing, mainly because of my bias given my father lost a considerable amount of money on a failed venture. I've also seen the whole notion as more akin to speculating rather than investing.
However, I recently met an industry-expert who has convinced me to reconsider my stance. It wasn't easy for me to change my opinion though. Martin Ayles is the man who has been the agent of influence. He has purchased or developed over 150 properties in the past eight years and, put conservatively, has made a considerable amount of money.
He's not all glitz and glamour though, when he took me on a personal tour of his developments, what struck me most was his down to earth and commonsense approach.
Property development doesn't have to be high risk.
Martin showed me that, when you know what you're doing,
property development doesn't have to be high risk.
For example, one of the 'a-ha' moments I had was that Martin is not doing multi-million dollar redevelopments of hotels, nor is he building car parks or subdividing hundreds of acres. He buys 'normal' residential houses in a variety of areas and then applies his automated investing system to unlock profits by value adding.
This still all sounded a little like too much hard work for me, but over several meetings and phone calls, I've come to understand more and more of what Martin does and I can tell you that it's not rocket science. I recall he recently said "Steve, people would be amazed if knew how little I actually did."
It seems that Martin has a great system... he outsources all the legwork and sits back and controls the process using a comprehensive master template (that's about 15 pages long)!
About Martin Ayles
Martin comes across as the sort of bloke you'd meet in a coffee shop down the street. Sure, there's a glint in his eye that comes from the confidence of knowing his investing craft inside out, but he generally shies away from the spotlight.
Although he would say that he's just a normal guy, his investing journey is quite incredible. He left school early and took a job earning a pittance in a supermarket. A few years later, he moved up the corporate ladder by accepting a position as a sales rep. Then four years later, when he became sick and tired of being sick and tired, he bit the bullet and made a life-changing decision.
He decided he needed to do whatever it took to become a success as a property developer in order to regain control of his time. This must have been quite scary though, as Martin had no formal experience, education or qualifications in real estate, nor did he know much about home-building, developing, town planning, architecture or design.
All he knew was that he had to make this work or else he'd be back in a job.
Martin has shared with me that one of the secrets to his success has been:
- Doing small scale projects that are in good supply
- Making and accessing cash profits regularly
- Effective risk management by not betting the bank on high spec deal
As A Result Of His Make-Or-Break Decision, Martin Achieved Massive Results...
At age 30, Martin's goal of financial freedom has been achieved. Having bought / developed over 150 homes in that time, he now enjoys the lifestyle that many people feel they deserve but can't access.
Martin has become the master of his own time and has the power and financial backing to do what he wants, when he wants. That's an incredible benefit that he'll be able to share with his future wife and family.
In the meantime though, Martin remains an active investor and enjoys the challenge of developing. His tools and techniques are sharpened to build equity quickly, and his approach remains extremely effective today.
As a guide, roughly 80% of Martin's new projects are developments; the rest are renovations. He is very skilled at doing projects on time and on budget - something I know he perceives as key critical success factors in profitable project management.
As a broad strategy, Martin develops five properties with the view of selling four and using the profits to own the fifth, either debt-free or very highly positively geared. This has been a very effective strategy as Martin has a established a large bank of rental properties that provide income, in addition to the growth projects that are sold for quick cash profits.
Learning Opportunities
Martin isn't someone who only talks about his successes. Like all of us, we learn the most from our setbacks. For example, not long ago Martin learned the mistake of not seeing value in salvaging. You can hear Martin's story by clicking here.
Two Typical Martin Ayles Deals
Deal One
You may be wondering what Martin built on the site mentioned in the video. Well, it was two townhouses similar in design to those featured in the picture to the right.
As far as a financial return is concerned, here's a broad snapshot of how it turned out (note: these numbers have been rounded):
Costs
| Purchase Costs: | $450,000 |
| Building Costs: | $450,000 |
| Interest on Borrowings: | $50,000 |
| Stamp Duty & Costs: | $50,000 |
| Total Cost: | $1,000,000 |
Income
| Sale Price of Two Townhouses: | $1,259,000 |
| TOTAL PROFIT: | $259,000 |
| TIME: | 12 MONTHS |
Deal Two
When I was in Adelaide recently, Martin showed me another of his completed projects in an area that was about 9-10 km from the CBD.
Here are some photos from Martin's file:
As Martin showed me around he pointed to the two new dwelling that he had built and said:
"These are just a pair of homes - simple 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom - what we call 'maisonette', semi-detached, duplex homes."
"I bought the timber fibro home you see in the photos, had it demolished, subdivided the land and arranged to have the homes built. It sounds like a lot of work, but I really didn't do much."
"Plus - because I've done several deals like this in the area, so plans, permits and council approval was simply a matter of following the same strategy that had worked every time before."
"You'll notice that in plans, the garages join onto each-other. Don't let this fool you - they're separate properties on separate Torrens titles. As a result, they sold reasonably quickly to two separate purchasers."
He then ran me through the following rough numbers for this project:
Costs
| Purchase Costs: | $224,000* |
| Building Costs: | $280,000 |
| Interest on Borrowings: | $22,500 |
| Other Costs: | $15,000 |
| Total Cost: | $541,500 |
* Including purchase costs.
Income
| Sale Price of Two Townhouses | $578,750 |
| TOTAL PROFIT: | $37,250 |
| TIME: | 12 MONTHS |
Honestly, I wasn't wildly excited by that profit as I thought it was on the low side.
Martin conceded the point, but then mentioned that all in all, with the benefit of his powerful template, he only contributed around 20 physical hours over the entire project. In this new light, I'd have to say the profit looked pretty good!
Martin's One Day 'Build Equity Fast' Workshop
I'd like to offer you a unique opportunity - the chance to hear Martin speak at a one day intensive workshop.
The purpose of the course will be to equip you with Martin's powerful 15-page 'Equity Builder' template, and then to spend the next seven hours empowering you to use it effectively.
At the end of the day you'll have been provided and trained in a detailed and comprehensive turn-key property development system. You'll be knowledgeable, confident and ready to do your own projects.
There is no upsell to another event or seminar - this is a comprehensive nuts and bolts workshop that goes into minute detail in the areas that are often overlooked but are the difference between success and failure.
Imagine how useful that template could be in your hands? What potential mistakes would you be able to avoid? What extra profits could you pick up? How much quicker would you be able to achieve your goals by using Martin's systems?
I've already cleared my schedule to attend Martin's workshop and am keenly looking forward to it. I urge you to do the same.
Event Details
Martin's one day 'Building Equity Fast' workshop will be held in a Melbourne CBD venue on 5th March 2006. Numbers will be strictly limited, and already around 20% of tickets have been pre-allocated to R.E.S.U.L.T.S. mentoring participants.
Given that demand will be rightly high, I have little doubt that the workshop will quickly sell out, so I wouldn't muck around with booking your place. Get in now.
The day will run from 8:30am until 6pm.
Agenda for the day
Here's a run-down of the information which you'll receive at the one-day Martin Ayles 'Build Equity Fast' Development Workshop

How Much?
A question you may be asking is - if Martin is so successful, why is he doing this seminar? As strange as this may sound, he's doing it because I asked him to. I think Martin has an incredible talent and I think that you stand to gain an enormous amount of knowledge and empowerment from hearing him speak and applying his techniques.
As such, if you paid $995 to be at this event then it would be a bargain. However, so as there is no doubt left in your mind, that you're looking at a gift horse in the mouth, let's slash $300 off that bargain price meaning tickets are just $695 each, including GST, full catering and most importantly, Martin's 15 page comprehensive 'Equity Builder' development template.
PAY ONLY $139 TODAY WITH OUR PAYMENT PLAN

Just select the second option in the list when you add this seminar to your shopping cart, and you'll pay only $139 today, and then 4 monthly payments of $139 (for a total of $695).

I'm convinced that you'll get a huge amount of valuable information and practical insights out of Martin's workshop - all of which apply to today's market.
In fact, I'm so certain that I'm prepared to offer a guarantee that I've never offered before.

What Other People Say About Martin Ayles
Here's what some other people have had to say after hearing Martin speak at one of his rare presentations on developing...
My biggest breakthrough for the day was... Listening to Martin and his down to earth and direct talk about what he does and that I can do this too. 
M. Hugo, Sydney
I do not deserve to be middle class!' It was you Marty that made me realise this, and for it, I thank you. I am now squarely 'on the program' and looking forward to a lifestyle that 'middle class' will only ever envy Aaron Lawson, Adelaide
I had read all the books, been to all the seminars but still was too scared to put the knowledge into action. Martin not only gave me the confidence but the extra tools you need that the other guys keep to themselves to go out and become a millionaire. I can't thank you enough. Ben Fitzsimons, Adelaide
Final Words
I trust Martin's insights have helped open your eyes to the possibilities that properly done real estate developments offer in today's changing market conditions.
If you'd like to hear more of the specific strategies Martin uses to achieve the results you have read about, then I would encourage you to book your place at his workshop immediately.
Having heard him speak on several occasions myself, I'm certain you'll be educated and empowered, and that you'll leave with the confidence and wherewithal to be able to successfully apply what you have learned.
Warm regards,
Steve McKnight
