Patrick Cornwell, 2010 Investor of the Year

A host of high profile speakers offered their top tips on a range of topics including the best performing suburbs, capital raising and investment opportunities.
Andrew Wilson, Australian Property Monitors Australians have it in their DNA to invest in bricks and mortar and they have it in their DNA to be home owners.

Ian Hosking Richards, Rocket Property Group
This is a fantastic day. I have been speaking to a lot of the delegates here and everyone is finding that, you know there is a lot of useful information, practical information that they can kind of go away, take away with them and kind of use to help, help start their portfolio or grow an existing portfolio.
