Freedom Property Investors

Buying Range Rover = Bad
Buying Kluger = Good

 

Aargh. I keep getting Freedom ads on my Youtube videos. HTF does that work, and why me? Must be the cookies on PC??

Unfortunately, seeing I'm a TA and don't pay for Youtube Premium, I've got to endure about 6-7 seconds of sales pitch each time (twice) before I can fully skip the ads.

 

My experience with Freedom hasn't been a great one. They lured me in through their promise of 100% 60 days money back guarantee and benefits if I signed up on the spot after their webinar or the next call session. I didn't sign up on their webinar, but signed up in their follow up call.

I wasn't very sure about my property investment journey so I was keeping the 60 days $3000 money back guarantee. After a few sessions, I signed he EOI (Expression of Interest) contract for a specific property and gave the $1000 refundable bond.

Then later when I decided to not go ahead with Freedom, and asked for a refund, behold they said I'd signed the EOI and my $3000 wasn't refundable. They even showed me their Terms and Conditions which mentioned that, even though they never mentioned that in their webinar or when I signed the EOI.

Luckily I asked for help on this forum and @momentum26 pmed me. We had a chat over the phone and he told me to not give up without a fight. He introduced me to tell them that I will complain to consumer affairs and the ACCC. As soon as I mentioned that, Freedom called me apologies and promised to return my membership fee. So I finally got my full return.

Kudos once again to the kind members like this forum like @momentum26 who helped me out!

 

I am dealing with the same thing at the moment. Have asked for the money back as they failed to provide what they promised. I have gone to the ACCC so looking forward to getting the issue resolved. It really shows what a company is all about on how they deal with complaints.

 

Apologies, just saw your post. I'm so sorry to hear this. Let me know of how you went an feel free to PM me if needed. Did you ask them for your money back and told them that if they don't give your money back you'll complain to ACCC and the consumer affair? If so, how did they respond?

 

Saw a video on Youtube (ads again) where Scott was claiming 2022 will be a boom year for property.

Wonder why he thinks that given the headwinds eg rates, inflation, wars, boom we've just had etc.

I wanted to know his thought process/reasoning.

 

If you're in the business of serving property investors, you don't want investors to get nervous about the market's future. So, a positive outlook is a must-do from a marketing perspective.

But from my own analysis, I can't see anything in the immediate future to suggest growth will slow "significantly". Slow, yes, but not significantly.

It would take a big interest rate rise to cool property. Is our economy that much out of control that it needs a big rise?

APRA stepping in and limiting finance would be a show-stopper.

I don't know the dates but they stated on the last forum that it is a current growth spot.

 

Farrrrr out. I was going to hit BUY on the membership and a little birdie asked to to do a quick google search and I stumbled upon this thread. I had no clue whatsoever that they are somehow working in collaboration with builders and selling their OTPs. Gosh i am so glad that i came here. Hahahah

 

Hi, I was doing some research and google brought me here. Is Freedom Landmark Investment?
thank you.

 

I had an evening session with them the other day. Trying to sell me a propety and then showed me a so called document about rental guarantee for a similar propety via zoom but he doesn't have the rental guarantee letter for the propety that he's trying to sell me and forced me to make a decision less than 24hours.
When I google that company who provides the rental guarantee and propety management, they don't even managed the Perth propety so go figure.
Have asked for my money back and no response.
Guess I will have to escalate to ACCC!

 

Where was the property they were trying to sell you, which suburb?

So freedom are actually selling a product?

 

Switch to Brave browser mate. No more YouTube ads

 

I must say, this is by far the most rewarding thread I have read regarding OTP vs Existing and goes to show how some 'operators' work offering little value addition w.r.t the costs incurred.

 

hi there. I have purchased a house and land package with Freedom. The suburb is Gregory Hills. I’m started to think I’ve made a big mistake after reading everyone’s notes

 

It’s the buying established vs house and land. I would do it differently now. Having read so much on this site, I have big regrets!

I saw their ads on Facebook and had been thinking and reading up on investing for a while. They bulk buy, pass on to clients and yes, talk about depreciation, rental guarantees, ‘special discounted rates’ for their clients.

However, when you sign up to something like this and don’t have experience being your first investment property, you may feel that you go along with their recommendations. At the end of the day, it’s up to you, but you don’t always know the right questions to ask. There should not be an urgency to pay to sign up, in case you miss out as they will run a workshop again.

I wouldn’t do a house and land package again. We’re paying an extra $44,000 in building costs -
Bought it in Sep 2020, land settles in a month - Aug 2022. Was told it may be another 12 - 18 months away.

I could say more but don’t want to get myself in trouble
