When I started the Calculating Residential Deals course I started with a mind set that the only good investment is one that has capital growth. The course has clearly shown me how over many years how a property is really an investment and can make me and my children money if I keep it for long term. Needless to say I am now restructuring my strategies completely. John Deutsch - DBN.

Thank you for the Calculating Residential Investment Deals course. I found it helpful and informative. I would recommend it not only to beginners but also to experienced Estate Agents. Although I have many years of business experience and I was expecting the course to be basic and not worth the time and effort, categorically I was wrong, the basics were refreshing and well worth the time spent, but there were many ideas that where new to me. I am looking forward to continuing my education at the first opportunity. Bernard - Stilfontein

I attended the Calculating Residential Investment Deals because I wanted to learn more about the ins' and outs' of property investing. As a property investor I constantly look to learn more to enhance my strategies. What I found and have to say about the course is that it exceeded my expectations. For a two week course, I thought it will be pretty superficial, but I found quite the contrary. It is very in-depth, it takes the thought process from the beginning of financial understanding and puts together many ideas on how to look at the properties when purchasing them. I know that this course has helped me avoid in the future bad purchases and helped me search for properties that suit me financially. I am now looking forward now to do the Letting course on PIN.  Cindy Johnson - JHB

Probably the most important part of all of this is the fact that my understanding of the numbers/financials now give me an opportunity to put together a much better request for finance document for the banks than I could previously do.  Once you can show a bank, in their own language, why something is a sound investment, you won't struggle as hard to get financing and support.  All in all, I think it the course was value for money, filled with good content and ultimately, and a necessity for any property investor. Eugene Pienaar - JHB

Having recently completed the above course at home, I enjoyed being able to do the course at one's own pace. The audio and visual impact of the presentation was effective, improving my concentration. Manipulation of the variables entered as lumpsums and additional monthly payments was most insightful. Generally there were many useful tips and facts given by the tutor and this was also enlightening and helpful. Richard Fouracres - Ladysmith KZN

As a relative newbie to the property market - from a purely investment point of view; I found the Calculating Residential Investment Deals course very informative and easy to follow.  I am wanting to get involved in the rental  / development market and feel that I am getting better equipped to do this as a result of learning and expanding my understanding. Joanne du Plessis

I have been on PIN for a while now, and I feel my learning has been put on steroids. Since I joined PIN some 10 months ago my entire perspective about property investing and real estate in general has completely changed. This course in particular has hit home again, one of the main things I have learnt that there is a massive difference between speculating on real estate and investing and the entire system calculations and considerations have to be significantly different when employing these different strategies. I can also say that this is just the beginning for me and the more I learn the more I see my passion for property grow.  Brent Schwalm -  JHB

I consider this course to be, easy to understand and to the point. Everyone should know this information when considering buying property. The information in the course is vitally important for any property investor, whether it is your own home or property for investment purposes. The voice used is clear and easy to follow. Okkie van Greunen - JHB

I really enjoyed the Calculating Residential Investment Deals course! It was very well constructed.

Overall I feel I grasped the main idea behind the course of how to work out and calculate a property to determine whether a property would be a good buy long term or in the short term, in real financial terms. Jason - Gary's Real Estate

The Calculating Residential Deals course was excellent, outstanding, clear and very well presented. I can now see the difference between an investment property and a home ownership property so clearly. Jessica Huston  - CT.

Thank you for the Calculating Residential Deals course, it was a real eye opener for me, I wish I could have taken this course some 3 years ago when I made some pretty bad buying decisions. Now I will try to sell those properties and start investing in properties that will make me money. Joshua S., JHB.

I attended the Calculating Residential Investment Deals course to help me and enhance my ability to give advice to customers in the real estate business. I found this course very helpful and informative and it has equipped me with the knowledge I was seeking to help my customers. In the end the course has achieved the goal that I was seeking it was very helpful and informative. Theuns Schoombee - The Letting Specialist Susan Deacon Properties, George

Before I took the Calculating Residential Deals course, I was pretty active in the search and buying residential property. I was spending at least 10 hours a week just on this activity. After the course, I was stunned at the time I was wasting to find just one property. It has helped me focus my searches to areas and properties and suit me and qualify and disqualify a potential property by the numbers in just a few minutes. Alex J. - Cape Town

The biggest lesson is that you need to use the correct lease agreement and perhaps even more importantly, you need to UNDERSTAND your lease agreement.

The workshop helped me understand the lease agreement and how I can use it to my advantage, especially when it comes to cancellations and terminations. I have avoided many headaches by attending the workshop because it gave me a clear idea of what you can or should do when a tenant is not paying the rent. And as a bonus it’s also really interesting stuff!. Johan van den Berg – JHB

Thanks for a great day of learning. I flew up from CT and it was definitely worth the ticket.

I have started using the lease agreement and found my tenants to feel secure in dealing with a proper lease agreement. They can see that I am being fair and totally above board and this puts them at ease and me in a strong position. The detail in the lease covers me from things I did not even know existed or that is relevant to a lease. A big thanks to you and your team for a day well spent in time and money. Luke Wollenschlaeger – Cape Town

What I derived from the course was the interaction with the other course participants, which one can learn from and also network with in the future. The course itself is an eye opener especially if you want to run with the letting process from start to finish yourself. The legal aspects I found very much as the most important part of the course.

The detail of the course also spells what to do on a step-by-step basis to reduce the letting process risk to a minimum though there is no guarantee that your investment will be looked after by the tenants. Ideas on where the letting market is and how to go about dealing with your tenant, was also of great value. The course however needed more time in order to digest the nutritional value of the workshop. Keep up the good work. -  Ebrahiem Kammies

I have had 4 tenants over a period of 10 years. I was very fortunate in that they were all good, reliable tenants. I had however seen a few of my colleagues go through absolute hell with bad tenants. I’m talking about really BAD tenants. While searching the internet for a lease agreement I stumbled upon the PINN webpage and signed up for their “Investor Letting Workshop “

It was the best choice that I have made in a long time. At the end of the day I was more confident in my role as a landlord as I had just learnt. Don’t end up like my colleagues whose experience was so stressful that they sold their properties. Rather arm yourself with knowledge that will make letting a win – win situation. Take the opportunity to learn, I am truly grateful that I did - Elaine Fike

I found the rental workshop very informative. I am a registered real estate agent with a franchise group and I was amazed how many legally protective clauses were inserted in your agreement. I have used many rental agreements before and not one of these agreements was adequate in this respect. Karen I find your agreement 100 % complete and your knowledge on the subject is unsurpassable. Your lease agreement is in daily use in my property rental portfolio. Thank you. Alex Nicolaou - Registered Estate agent in Edenvale.

The letting workshop had double value for me, both as a landlord and as a tenent.. I am now making use of a rental agent with houses I am renting out in Bellville and Swellendam (W.Cape). Your lease agreement is excellent, and gave me a lot of confidence to continue the process without a rental agent.

On the other hand, I was also renting myself, a farmhouse in the Heidelberg (W.Cape) district. After all the practical information I learnt in the letting workshop, I realised that my landlord was trying to take me for a ride. With the information I was able to confront him with legitimate and up to date information - on which he had no answer, and lost his "case" against me. - Pierre van Den Berg

In life you come across all sorts of people offering to help you out, at a fee. Most offers just aren’t worth it and you leave feeling cheated. But once in a while someone comes along with something that’s value for money and exceeds your expectations; I found that in Karen and Sean Wheller when I did their Investor Letting Workshop. Their combined knowledge on the subject is extensive, current and PRACTICAL, they are passionate about property and teaching. I would not dream of getting a tenant in place without using their rental agreement.  - David Shadford

I attended the Letting workshop down in Durban, as a full time property investor whos business is property I learnt a lot from this workshop. It is full of "meat and potatoes" facts and tools to make our lives as Buy to Let property investors a lot easier whether you manage your tenants yourself or you outsource to a letting agent. Worth its weight in gold! - Brennan Carey
