The best man for the job is a woman.

Grant Chapman from the Gold Coast is a typical blokey kind of bloke. He’s a licensed builder and has developed his own unique Property Investment strategy. He locates units in small older style blocks that have zoning for future hi-rise development. He adds value by renovating to increase equity and rental yield. This strategy has worked so well that he has repeated it, up and down the Gold Coast, 16 times.

“Women are my secret weapon,” he told me when I met him recently at the Reno Kings Dinner on the Gold Coast. Apart from his plumber and sparky, everyone on Grant’s team is a woman. Accountant, Solicitor, Bank Manager, Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent and Property Manager!

When Grant first began his search for suitable property, he gave his list of requirements to a number of agents. “The women find you what you want and the men ring with what they want to sell.” Grant became frustrated, “I don’t want them to sell me a Pyramid when I want to buy a Tepee.” He realised that the men just weren’t listening, “The guys just don’t get it...so I gave up dealing with them.”

He then began comparing the differences between dealing with both genders. According to Grant, “Women are reliable; they listen and hear what you’re saying. They are goal focussed and get things done.” Saving time is important to Grant, “9 times out of 10 I can get through to women whereas men hide from you, they are shielded by a secretary or screen the phone calls.”

It’s not surprising that Grant discovered the virtues of women in business. From the age of 2, Grant was the youngest of 5 kids raised solely by his mum. She taught him the 40 plus principle...“The first 40 hours pays the bills. The hours after that make the difference.” He watched his mum Jean work hard into the night in her dressmaking and millinery business at Manly. They lived behind the shop and he woke up each morning to the sound of the sewing machine. He remembers going with his mum to the bank and how scared she was until the manager told her that she was the first woman to ever receive a loan from the branch. In between dressmaking for the Governor General’s wife and the TV shows Bandstand and 6 O’Clock Rock, Jean went on to purchase 3 shops and 2 houses in the late 50’s and early 60’s. What a woman! It’s little wonder that Grant learnt from her hard work ethics. By the time Jean was 60 she retired to travel the world, funded by her property investments.

When Grant goes shopping for vanities, tiles or hardware he always seeks out the woman shop assistant to take advantage of left brain thinking. “It works for me, because women have an eye for detail,” admits Grant, “Women are great at making suggestions, especially with colours. They listen to what I want and get it right the first time.”   Once he does his one stop shopping to gain the female perspective, Grant goes to work on the renovations to make sure it’s going to be tenant friendly. He adds little extras like added storage, a broom closet and a microwave shelf. And...you guessed it!...the female tenants absolutely love the results.

Grant reaches his limit

During our conversation, Grant told me that he thinks the Property Women Workshops are a brilliant idea. Property and Women just naturally go together. “Women are the decision makers, they just know what other women want.”  Grant wanted the inside information on how he could get to come along to a Property Women Workshop to learn more from successful women property investors. Unfortunately for Grant, the rules are set in concrete.

No Men Allowed

Property Women Workshops are by women for women. If you have a woman in your life who you believe is capable of being a successful property investor, send her along to the next Property Women One Day Workshop to join the other women so that she can learn the ropes from other women who have walked the walk.

What she will learn from the workshop:

• How to research and find the best property in the best location
• Using the equity from your own home to set up your finances
• How to negotiate a bargain
• What does positive cash flow really mean
• Choose the right strategy  
• A step by step action plan to follow

The Property Women One Day Workshop is in Melbourne on Sunday 10^th August. Flights from most cities can usually be arranged to fly in and out on the same day. This is a day where a room full of like minded women get together to learn how to use property as a tool to achieve the same common goal...a future for themselves and their children. There will be ample time for questions on the day and ongoing networking opportunities with over 900 like minded women via the Inner Circle (Online Networking Tool).
