How to spot a property spruiker

Written for self managed super fund trustees, this piece noted that no regulator oversees advice on property investment and set out the warning signs of a spruiker. These included seminars that function as sales pitches, claims that investing is easy, cookie cutter strategies, pressure to sign quickly and reluctance to document fees, commissions and kickbacks. Trustees were urged to use qualified advisers or investment focused buyer’s agents.
