Garychallenged us to go after our dreams and to dream big.Our biggest fear was buying a property interstate. In one two day trip in regional NSW we bought four investment properties.
“Reading Gary's book touched us in a way like no other book we had read before because it was very practical and down to earth. He talks about assessing a property location using simple observation criteria and some basic calculations. We engaged him to coach us and in the process he challenged us to go after our dreams and to dream big. Before we started coaching our biggest fear was going interstate and buying one property. We also wanted to be profiled in an investment property magazine. We had a memorable two day trip in regional NSW where Gary coached us extensively and we ended up purchasing four investment properties with his help. That journey changed our lives forever. We can remember sitting in the car and looking out the window to a whole new world. 12 months later our story appeared in Your Investment Property magazine.”

Gary’s book “Property Millionaire – The Guidebook to Having Great Australian Dreams” has a very interesting anecdote about café latte and its connection to property investment. Now I’m an investor, it’s a great reason to experience coffee wherever I go.
"Gary's coaching gave me the confidence and ambition to go after 10 investment properties in five years, as a platform for financial freedom. I expected it to be a challenge. What I did not expect was that a year after Gary first started coaching me, I did more in the first 6 days (following that coaching session) than I had done in 25 years and I purchased five investment properties in less than 12 months. It may not sound spectacular for some people, but what's more important is I did it and it was spectacular for me. Gary’s book “Property Millionaire – The Guidebook to Having Great Australian Dreams” has a very interesting anecdote about café latte and its connection to property investment. Before I was a property investor, coffee was just a bad habit. Now I'm an investor, it's a great reason to experience coffee wherever I go. "

I simply love the “Happy Hour” – a magic moment in property investment and negotiation at its best and on-location!
“Gary's formula is quite simple. Read the book 'Property Millionaire - The Guidebook' first and see whether you can easily connect with his explanations of the principles of property leverage. Get him to coach you in the theory in a way that you can understand & then in practice (on location) and then when you are ready try it yourself. Finally, play the boardgame as a property investment 'do it yourself coaching tool' to road test your approach before you spend the big dollars. Not surprisingly all his 'apprentices' have done this. My most memorable experience is what I now call the Property Investment “Happy Hour” on-location. I was astounded when Gary brokered on my behalf and completed the first negotiation in less than 15 minutes. I had secured a great value for money property for under the listed price and the whole deal was done in the “happy hour” between 3pm and 4pm. By 5pm I was on a high, laughing and celebrating with a schooner. The experience had been exhilarating like being struck by lightning – but it was no fluke. The next day, Gary showed me the property investment “happy hour” in action again, and I got a second investment property. Three months later, I got out of my comfort zone and travelled to Queensland to negotiate for myself. It took longer than an hour and some frantic phonecalls to Gary before I made the purchase but I did it! 12 months later I tried it again in Queensland and did it in less than an hour. Gary's happy hour script is something I will treasure forever.”

"We all need to develop our knowledge and skills to provide for ourselves into the future. In his book, ‘Property Millionaire’, Gary Seeto shows you how to achieve that through investing in properties. I regard Gary's book as an essential resource for anyone new to property investment and needing the direction and tools to get started. Even seasoned investors will pick up tips to help them get better results.
On a more personal note, anyone who meets Gary is sure to recognise and value his focus, determination, sincerity, empathy and integrity. He lives and breathes property investment but he takes time to smell the roses (or coffee) and nurture good relationships along the way. Gary explains a planned approach to building a property investment portfolio in a simple yet entertaining and thought-provoking way."

"I went from having over $70,000 in personal debt to owning investment properties in three States within 12 months using Gary Seeto´s financial strategies and tactics. Gary has moulded various universal ´success´ principles into his own style. I feel extremely fortunate to have benefited from his winning formula in my own quest for financial freedom and a more balanced life.
When I first talked to Gary about investing in real estate I had no idea of the terrific journey I was about to embark on. What happened in the following 12 months (and then the next) was amazing. Gary showed me how to shift my mindset to be in harmony with my desires, how powerful ritual visualisation can be, how vital that first ´leap of faith´ is and heaps of other strategies to help maintain momentum.
Be warned though. The information Gary selflessly parts with has a way of naturally guiding you toward reaching your full potential. You may find, like I did, that not only can your real estate investment portfolio receive a turbo-charged blast off, other aspects of your life may also take a turn for the better. If you truly want to learn skills to help you reach financial freedom and an abundance of success, I highly recommend you add Gary´s new book, “Property Millionaire: The Guidebook to Having Great Australian Dreams”, and boardgame, "Property Millionaire – The Boardgame TM", to the pride of place on your bookshelf."

"For a number of years I had thought of buying an investment property, but had no idea where to start, who I could trust or where to go. I also thought that whatever I bought would need to be flashy and fairly expensive, and so was reluctant to take the risk; that was until I talked with Gary Seeto.
Gary, through his experience, research, and business intelligence, quickly dispelled any myths and made me realise the process was relatively easy and low risk. Gary's approach is logical, based on sound judgement, and you don't need to be an accountant to understand the process. I now have a property receiving a great yield, it's capital value has tripled, and I am looking for the next one."

"I started my investment in real estate journey about 12 months ago. As a relatively recent migrant to Australia I did not have any previous experience in property investment.
Gary Seeto, my ex boss and now a good friend, provided me with loads of very valuable advice. After a few hours of very intensive and backed up by real examples sessions with Gary I made a decision to enter the property investment market.
My portfolio is not big at present, but I am constantly looking for more opportunities. In the last 12 months I have purchased three properties based on applying some basic selection criteria and simple return on investment formulas that Gary coached me in. The biggest benefit for me from all the discussions I had with Gary is not only my now reasonably good understanding of the property investment arena but most importantly the confidence I have gained in all dealings with financial institutions, real estate and property management people.
Gary's knowledge and experience in property management and financial planning is extensive. What I like the most about Gary is that he is always very approachable and pragmatic in his way of assisting people. I really enjoy discussing property investment and financial planning with Gary and hope to considerably increase my portfolio in years to come.
I would like to thank Gary for his unconditional assistance and look forward to a long friendship."
