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

The Key To Making Money - Free Talk

Why do we find it hard to make money, while others are flourishing and prospering? Is it just that some were born lucky? No. Do some people just have a natural talent? No. It comes down to the art of communication. One's ability to communicate will determine how successful one will be, not only in business, but life as a whole. We will be covering different avenues of communication, and what you can do to bring change to your life. ------- The talk will go for roughly 45 mins, give or take. We will then proceed to do a Personality Test which will really break down what areas in your life you are lacking in, and can then get the appropriate tools to assist you.

Monthly meetup

This is our monthly meetup where we hang out and chat about investing. There's no fixed format, we just meet with like-minded individuals to discuss investing strategies and stock picks, at a bar or cafe. All levels of experience welcome. Second Friday of the month. Bring laptops/tablets etc if you like because we do research.

Attention as Currency with Professor Katherine Johnson — North Fitzroy Library

Join me for a fascinating free talk on one of the most valuable things we own: our attention. Professor Katherine Johnson draws on developmental neuroscience to explain how attention works, why it's so easily taxed in an information-saturated world, and what we can actually do to protect and restore our focus in everyday life. It's a family-friendly evening talk hosted by Yarra Libraries as part of National Science Week, and it's a lovely low-key way to spend a Thursday evening learning something genuinely useful. We'll meet at the gates of the library at 5:45pm for a quick hello, then head in together for the 6pm start. The talk wraps up around 7:30pm, and anyone who'd like to keep the conversation going is welcome to join us for a casual bite nearby afterwards. Just so it's clear: this is a casual social meetup arranged so we can head along together — it isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Yarra Libraries or Professor Johnson. Please grab your own free ticket directly through Eventbrite; an RSVP here doesn't include entry. **Who this is for** * Anyone curious about how the brain works, focus, and the science of attention — no background needed. * It's family-friendly, so all ages are welcome. * Coming solo? You'll fit right in — lots of people come along on their own, and meeting at the gates first makes it easy. **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iwfhPG14S4D1t6zM8 * Free ticket (book your own): https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/attention-as-currency-with-professor-katherine-johnson-tickets-1992329016721 **Timeline** * 5:45pm – Meet at the gates of the library and say hello * 6:00pm – Talk begins * 7:30pm – Talk wraps up and meetup ends * 7:30pm onwards – Optional casual bite nearby for anyone keen (the meetup officially finishes here) **Tickets / cost** Free, but you'll need to book your own ticket through the Eventbrite link above. These talks can fill up, so it's worth grabbing yours in advance. **Transport** The library is at 182 St Georges Road, North Fitzroy. It's well served by tram along St Georges Road, and there's some street parking around if you're driving — please allow a little extra time to find a spot. **Bring** * Your booked Eventbrite ticket * Your curiosity (and maybe a notebook if you like to jot things down) **Expect** * Vibe: relaxed, friendly, and curious * Pace: an easy evening — sit back and enjoy the talk * Group style: a casual social group heading along together **Important notes** * A Meetup RSVP is not a ticket — please book your free spot on Eventbrite separately. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so numbers stay clear for everyone.
