Worst decision of our lives. We are a young family that nearly owned our own home with one investment property. Life seemed easy then until we met Think. We refinanced with them purchased a property and was audited by the ATO. We used one of their accountants. BE WARNED about tax advice from them. The ATO are very aware of think money. Its all fun until it turns bad and then Think drop you like a bag of potaotes. We are now renting and cannot sell our properties as a gain and will probably never own a property again due to loosing everything. My Husband now suffers from depression and we are worried about what the future holds. Be very very aware at all times. It's a bitter pill to swallow while we watch them drive around in their fancy cars which clearly is where our money goes. It would seem our lose is their gain. I hope they can sleep at night.

We approached Think Money 6 years ago, knowing that a) we had to plan differently for our retirement and b) we needed to use the tax we were paying to grow assets. I was rather nervous initially (my husband was fine), but with Chris, and her team, advising us we have now grown our portfolio to 6 properties and our net worth is now $1.3 million dollars. Yes, there are some years where some properties don't grow in value, and yes, sometimes tenants are not always great, but with Chris's advice and amazing support we don't "sweat the small stuff" and we now have a satisfying portfolio of properties.

Thank you to the Think Money team(s) I am in a secure financial position & no longer need to worry about my financial future. I was seeking financial advice almost 3yrs ago & after speaking with numerous companies it was Think Money that resonated best with my needs. I certainly did my own research, homework & cannot fault the company. I have not always purchased properties recommended & this has not changed my relationship with the company. If you are looking for honesty & integrity the Think Money team are the team you can trust.
Many years ago I lost money on a property simply because it was in a low socio economic area and I sold too soon after purchasing. Thanks to the property team I won't have this happen again.
What I respect about working with the Think Money team is that I have control of what I buy & where my money is spent. I do not pay any commissions and am aware the company receives commissions elsewhere as do any company. The initial fee I paid has been worth every cent and I have saved 3 times the fee.

We have been with Think Money now for 3 years. They have changed our financial platform and consequently our financial future. We have found them to be 100% transparent and honest in their dealings. Through the educational side of the business we now feel empowered to make good financial choices and to plan in a financially strategic manner. There is no such thing as no-risk investment (no risk = no reward) however; Think Money has taught us how to spread our risk exposure and coupled with changes to the way we conduct our banking, means that we can manage our property holding costs and withstand any fluctuations in the market. We too have a property purchased in a mining town, however through diversity, this has not put us at risk. We are very happy Think Money clients.

These people are not financial planners and they publicly say they are not. Yet they do offer financial and investment advice. They are not covered by any umbrella organisation that will protect YOU from bad advice or were not when I dealt with them. Ask the question of them. If you venture there make sure you get an outsiders advice - use your own accountant and solicitor. The properties you will be shown will be sold through other family members and connections that they have deals with. They get many bites of the cherry. There is the Think Money education charge, then the commissions for selling the property and the commissions on the loans placed though the affiliate businesses. It is deep and wide and not transparent. I would not recommend any dealing with this company. Beware.

Not our experience at all!
They are totally transparent and they have changed our lives in many positive ways!

It starts off well for everyone otherwise they wouldn't still be in business. If you are happy to be in business with these people knowing all that they make from your transactions - that is your choice. I recommended Think Money early days to friends and family, because I was so impressed. None of them are now in a better place financially, in fact they are all significantly poorer.

This is the best thing we have ever done. It has literally changed our lives and would recommend it to anyone. I was skeptical at the start however the skills that Chris teaches you on how to manage your money are amazing and genuinely change your life. Highly recommend you see the team at Think Money.

Our wonderful journey with Think Money began almost 3 years ago and we have been able to purchase 5 investment properties paid $85,000 off our existing mortgage in that time!
We also have many many new friends who share our new positive outlook to retirement and have travelled overseas at least twice a year on holidays! Life is good!

We had previously tried to invest in property ourselves but we were not able to manage the holding costs. We didn't have the knowledge we needed to invest safely without impacting on our quality of life. Through Think Money we have gained an education about the trials and tribulations of property investment and how to do it successfully. Chris and Jack have 18 properties of their own and as they say - "If you want something then look for someone who has what you want and ask their advice." True true!
There are many pitfalls and Chris and Jack have the knowledge to help you avoid them. You are buying yourself an education on how to increase wealth and reduce debt. $12000 is a very cheap investment for us. We now have a 4.25 million dollar property portfolio and it's still growing!!

Reading the reviews posted by those (very few) who don't recommend Think Money - I can see that they have not followed Chris' advice at all. The property market goes through ups and downs, however if you are prepared to wait it out, (and Chris teaches you how to do that!) then all property will eventually increase in value. It's a long term venture - not a quick fix!

Chris, Jack and their teams have (literally) held our hands throughout the organisation of loans, purchasing property, legal system, dealing with builders and developers and even property management once the projects have been completed. The 'hand holding' is necessary as fear is a natural part of the process and having the right advice, support and mindset is essential for success.

If you want to achieve a comfortable retirement, then you really need to see these people as soon as you can. Your only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner!

Our experience was very different to yours and I find your comments disrespectful to the people I know who have lost a great deal of money by following their advice. If you have done well then that is great but how dare you assume that the losses suffered by so many people are their own fault.

When you join Think Money it is like joining a family of like minded people. The most important thing you get for your investment is an education. When you have taken time to learn the ins and outs of investing in property and also about how to do your banking correctly to benefit yourself rather than the banks, you have the power to change your life and truly become wealthy. I'm sure this system will not suit everyone, but it has been a god send for me and many of my friends. Thank you Chris and Jack for your dedication, your inspiration and your care. We are so happy to be clients of yours.

Yes we've heard all that stuff many times...and in fact (sadly) once upon a time would have agreed. However, as just one example, we do wonder how 'truly becoming wealthy' is possible when one trustingly buys a block of land through Think Money, which later is valued at much much less than the purchase price.
If the situation is working for you we are glad, but at the very least do not drop your guard and become so blinded by personal involvement with these people that you neglect to do your homework. We are still trying to extricate ourselves from the mess and are considerably poorer than we would have been if we had never heard of them.

When we came to Think Money over two years ago we had business and consumer debt and our financial future felt pretty grim. Fast forward two years and we now have 4 investment properties and feel totally in control of our finances, plus we've managed to squeeze in 3 overseas holidays without getting into debt! Life is good and it is all thanks to Chris, Jack and the team.

If it sounds too good to be true it generally is.

We paid 12k and I told Chris I would have paid 25K! We have purchased many properties in the past on our own, made a dreadful mess of it and then came to Chris. She held our hand every step of the way and we now have multiple properties. We have been through lost jobs with her, properties not doing what they should and through her dedication and hand holding we have made it. She would have to be one of the most generous people I know and never knows when to stop. Property can be tough and you have to be in for the long haul. I've been doing property for over 30 years now...I wish I still owned all the ones I've sold! I never sell now! Thank you Chris and Jack and the Think Money team.

We have been with Think Money for over 3 years and our experiences are all positive. We understand that the journey to wealth through property is not a short ride but a committed approach over time (just like the property market) and this is exactly what they say. We are in so much of a better financial position now, and our future looks extremely positive.

We regret that we ever dealt with Think Money, they appear to be concerned for your financial future ……..
We are now substantially worse off than when we started with them, they locked us into a property in Gladstone that is now worth $150K less than we paid for it and with a rental return at 60% their claimed return rates.
There is no end in sight for a resolution to this situation as it's almost impossible to sell a property in Gladstone unless you wish to realise an even bigger loss!
My best advise is to stay well away! Don't be fooled.
and we had to pay $12,000 for this great advise..... conned big time!

Typical property spruikers. If you're looking for property advice, don't come to these people. It's all smoke and mirrors. The other review on this business is over 6 years old. I'd like to hear their opinion now. I know of at least 3 clients of these people who are very disappointed at the service they received from ThinkMoney. Don't trust them.

These guys were just so easy to deal with. Investing is such a worrying stressful thing to do on your own but Kira was so professional in finding the right member of the team to meet my needs. Great service with great results and all for me.

Approximate cost: $1500
