Almost No One Knows If It's a Good Deal.** Here's the uncomfortable truth: most people don't lose money in real estate by picking the *wrong* property. They lose money by never learning how to tell a good deal from a bad one in the first place. They see a listing, get excited, do some quick mental math, and hope for the best. Meanwhile, the investors actually building wealth? They're running numbers, reading market signals, and walking away from 8 out of 10 "opportunities" — because they know exactly what they're looking at. This one-day workshop teaches you to think — and calculate — like they do. *** **The Moment Everything Clicks** Picture this: someone hands you a property listing. Instead of guessing, you pull up the numbers — cap rate, cash flow, yield — and in minutes, you know exactly what it's worth, what it'll cost you, and whether it belongs in your portfolio. That's not a fantasy. That's Module 3, by lunchtime. *** **What's Standing Between You and Your First (or Next) Smart Investment?** * You don't know how to evaluate a property beyond "it looks nice" * Terms like cap rate, leverage, and yield feel like a foreign language * You've never run a real financing scenario — just guessed at numbers * You don't have a system, just instinct (and instinct isn't a strategy) * You want to grow a portfolio, not just own one lucky property Sound familiar? You're exactly who this was built for. *** **Inside the Workshop** **Think Like an Investor** — Property types, market dynamics, and the core concepts (appreciation, cash flow, equity) that separate strategy from guesswork **Spot Deals Worth Chasing** — What actually drives property value, and how to size up residential vs. commercial opportunities **Run the Numbers That Matter** — Calculate ROI, cash flow, cap rate, and yield with confidence — no finance degree required **Dodge the Expensive Mistakes** — Read market cycles, assess real risk, and learn what trips up first-time investors **Master the Money Side** — Mortgage basics, leverage, funding options, and a live financing simulation to make it real **Build a Portfolio, Not Just a Purchase** — Diversification, risk balance, and long-term vs. short-term strategy **Leave With a Plan, Not Just Notes** — Your own investment criteria checklist and a concrete next step *** **Not Just a Lecture** This is a hands-on workshop — role-plays, a live financing simulation, case study breakdowns, and group exercises. You'll be doing the analysis, not just watching it happen on a slide. *** **Who's in the Room** Beginners taking their first real step into property investing. Finance professionals sharpening their edge. Small business owners planning long-term wealth. Anyone tired of feeling like everyone else understands real estate better than they do. No prior experience required. Just curiosity and a willingness to do the math. *** **Bring Your Whole Team** Want your finance team, leadership group, or firm speaking the same investment language? This course is available as a **private, customized group session** — tailored to your organization's focus, industry, and experience level. Delivered in-house or virtually, with group pricing for teams of any size. 📩 [corporate@mangates.com ](corporate@mangates.com)to build a session around your team. **Your Next Deal Deserves Better Than a Guess** Register now and walk out knowing exactly how to size up a property, run the numbers, and build a plan — not just a wish list. 📩 [info@mangates.com](info@mangates.com) \| 📞 \+61 \(0\) 2 80155605

Coffee Meet up | God-led Business Owners & Creatives
Tue, Sep 22, 9:30 PMGod‑Led Business Owners, Entrepreneurs & Creatives is a gathering for those building with purpose — founders, makers, creatives, and business owners who are committed to walking with Jesus as they create, innovate, and lead. This meet‑up is a space to support one another, share enriching conversations, and navigate the worldliness, pressures, and complexities of the industries we’re in. This community exists as an opportunity to support one another, and not feel isolated in the unique journey that is entrepreneurship, owning a business or pursuing creative endeavours. We get together to talk about the real stuff — the challenges, the wins, the spiritual battles, the opportunities, and the calling behind the work. If you’ve been craving conversations with other big thinkers, dreamers, and action‑takers who love God and are building boldly, this is your space. Given this will be our first meet up, we will structure with both casual networking, and also have a few questions to get the conversation flowing. **WHERE: I'll aim to be on the big communal table to the right as you walk in !** Look forward to meeting you!
