1 Ali  · Very Hard – It is really hard to find distress properties and make a deal by sending letters. The idea of sending letters is like winning in a lottery.
5 Eric W  · Real Estate Rescue – I found that the course is properly designed and systematically presented. I'm looking forward to learning and applying in the field.
5 Prashant  · Good insight – The work shop has given very good insight into the opportunuties which can be available in property market in current situation.

Great Course – Just sat through the Property Development Program. It’s such an inspiring course with an excellent framework. Really well structured, professional delivery, excellent presenters and great content. My favourite part of this course is listening to the stories of everyday Australian’s who took action and utilised the tools and advice that DGI… Read more

delivers.

It’s worth noting, this course was delivered through zoom and Dominique did an excellent job of connecting with her audience in this format.

Fundamentally dishonest – They promise things they don't deliver. They say they will give court lists of dis-stressed home owners, i.e. homes being repossessed by the bank. However the only lists they give are for QLD and VIC. Not the other states and territories. I signed up for Real Estate Rescue course to get access to this information for NSW however it was not… Read more

provided. In the course material it says you can get this information from a web site but it is not possible and believe me I have tried. $5400 later and no lists. They promise that you can find out about deceased estates through the court list too but no address is given so it is really unlikely that you can find out enough information to proceed in this way too. They then invite graduates to sign up for personal mentoring for $10,000, saying that these court lists will be provided. I don't know if it is true or not as I had no reason to believe them at that point. They say before signing up for the course that legal advice is available through them. This does not appear to be true. I have tried but no one returned my call. They say you don't need any money of your own because they have people who are willing to provide finance to purchase through their Facebook site. I have tried a few times with no success. So be careful about committing to purchasing a home if you are relying on finance this way. You could end up in strife i.e. loose your deposit, or at least end up with egg on your face.

On todays New Rules, New Tools Livestream my learning has continued, thank you. Clarification around sending letters; the Fast Property Tool, the inspirational story sharing and reinforcing why we use the tools learnt from the program to success. Something that particularly resonates with me is the respect and care shared and then given to potential clients and deals. If find the whole community to be so supportive and encouraging to all members, and hopefully to ourselves also. I look forward to when I am doing my RER business full time. All learnings have been a breeze and if I ever came to a roadblock there was always an expert in the field of concern available and ready to speak with me.

When life gives you options - Take the one that's best! – I first heard Dominique speak over six years ago and what she had to say resonated with me to the core. I lost everything many years ago and when she shared her story with grace and humility, I knew that I'd found the person, and company, that I could connect with. And connect I did :) I've been on an amazing journey of property, community and… Read more ·  1

self-discovery for the last six years and wouldn't change a single part of it. When you get to a certain age your nonsense detector begins to work overtime and it has never blinked once in the time that I've come to know Dominique. Like many people at a certain stage in life, I have the luxury of being able to choose different options and I'm glad I chose this one. If you apply the teachings of Dominique and, in fact, the whole community, you have to succeed. Approach every property or people situation with a win-win mindset and it will come back to bless you many times over. If your instinct tells you that this lady is the real deal, then trust it - that's all you need to know.

Super excited! – In brief, to-the-point snapshots, Dominique takes you through a business acquisition knowledge quest and gives you info on everything needed to do this. Such good and relevant industry-based data and info.

Business Acquisition Blueprint Online Course Is Awesome – I've done a lot of courses over the years with mixed results, they provide you enough content to spark your interest and not enough information to really get you started. A lot is still left to you to figure out yourself. However, Dominique Grubisa, provides so much information, that you can utilise it straight away. Plus Dominique has a very pleasant vice and training style, which makes it even easier to absorb what she is teaching you.

Buyer beware!!! – Was sold on their ideas and signed up to their course until they had a live session with Robert Kiyosaki who completely contradicted almost everything the owner was saying.

and info was incorrect. Cancelled. 2 weeks later $1350 comes out of my bank account. Called and asked for money back. They wouldn’t do it. 2 weeks later another $1350 comes out. Called, wrote emails and still no refund. Had to cancel my card to avoid the money being taken from me. Will not give me money back and are demanding the remaining $2700 be paid. I never accessed their site and do not want the inaccurate advice that they are offering. They are now chasing me for the difference. Had to involve the Commonwealth Ombudsman who they lied to, telling him that I had actually accessed the site and therefore had to pay, which I didn’t. I emailed them and asked why they would say this when they know it isn’t true, they denied it, but I have it in writing from the Ombudsman! It is a con for money people. There are better ways to get much more accurate information. My suggestion. Stay away.

Wealth Protection Vesty Trust - not to be trusted? – I signed up for the Vesty Trust Wealth Protection in Sept 2020. In Oct 2020 After having an independent solicitor review what was being offered I went back to the DG Institute with a number of questions. In early December 2020 I was eventually provided with access to a so called asset protection specialist to gain more insight into how the loans… Read more

that underpin the operation of the Vesty Trust are suppose to come into existence. After querying the practical application of the loan creation process I was provided with the following response:

"The money you transfer to the trust bank account will become the Trustee’s. When you withdraw that money, it becomes a loan from the trustee with the trustee securing the loan by showing an interest in your assets"

The practical application of establishing the loans to protect net assets with a value for example of $500k will therefore require you to have deposited $500k into the trust bank account. Unfortunately I don't have a cash balance anywhere near what is required to protect the equity I have built up in property so I went back to DG Institute. To date, 11 June 21, I still have not received an answer to the question of how a legitimate loan would be created in my circumstance.

After expressing my concerns that what DG Institute advertises can only apply in a very limited circumstances I requested a refund. The refund was refused on the grounds they provide a 3 day cooling off period. The matter has now been referred to the NSW Legal Services Commission.
