In this episode, I will share my experience of selling my first property in my entire professional career.
From acquiring the property to selling it, I will share in details of the mistakes made throughout the entire process.
Hope this episode can be a lesson for everyone to always choose to make informed decisions and take calculative risk throughout our investment process.

[@timothytye5088]

The uncle with whom you collaborated in purchasing that JB property made decision (in altering the loan tenure) to his own benefit without regard to the implication that decision had on you, a junior partner in the deal, pushing you to the brink of bankruptcy. A person who is not respectful of a partner's financial situation is not someone we should ever partner with again.

[@SuyinOng]

Thank you for sharing such a personal and vulnerable experience of yours with us, just so we all can benefit to learn from your experience instead of the more painful reality of personal experience. Authentic as always, Sean! 🙏🏼

[@killmyindianbrother]

I particularly liked your saying of people having no exclusivity in their job function, exposure and experience; and that the takeaway is to find some means or way to sell more rather than convert time into money. Thank you for sharing such a personal experience in great details. It is a very relatable and informative experience that most friends or even elderly do not share. Please know that your time and intention are very much appreciated 🙏

[@Ming-qs8hb]

A very good financial education for all. Listening to your sharing is like listening to a big brother talking to me. Thank you for sharing from bottom of the heart

[@KhairulShahdanQarthLael]

This is why I love listening to people with experiences. There are lots I can learn, wish you the best in life sir!

"Everything happens for a reason", Sean you teaches us important lessons in Life!

[@rawjusticeman3128]

Sean, I 've watch a lot of your videos on property investment and is still watching them as you have provided very good insight. I have also made big mistakes in investments although it is not property related and have lost considerable amount of money in them. But as you said, for every mistakes we made, we are to be accountable to it and not all mistakes are gloom and doom as there are also valuable lessons to be learned from it to make one become stronger, wiser and better in future. So Sean keep making these informational videos and rest be assured of our support to your channel. All the best to you.

[@joelleejq]

Some intense life wisdom that was, thanks for keeping it real & sharing, Sean!

[@kelven713]

Thanks for sharing this experience! Had similar just in a different context as well. Thanks for pointing out the intent of selling not just the intent of buying! A very good point to take note!

[@nicholasbosco8811]

This is very admirable, Sean. I would have given up if I were you but you pulled it through. Congrats!

[@jeanep2b]

Finally, dare to watch this video after watching many of the others that you did. Honestly didn't know about credit card applications would affect our credit scores! Now I have to be more concerned about which credit card to apply, etc. Thanks a lot for the sharing and congratz that it is finally over too.

[@manirajamarimuthu8837]

Great sharing! I can totally feel the force from the dark side - great power comes with great responsibility. Always understand the risk that comes with our decision. Thanks for the sharing Sean!

[@iherng]

Hope that this will be helpful. Thanks for watching Vincent ☺️

[@andychang7927]

Hey Sean, this is one of the most interesting topic that you shared. Great sharing with the experience you had and I believe a lot of people went through this and yet they don't know how to handle. Some will lead to bankrupt and worse suicide. Each of us had to be held accountability and responsible towards our own action and decision. Though that decision could be one of the biggest mistake that we made due to greed, due to trust of whoever say so due to how successful he or she is. Standing up and facing the real problem, cracking your head and thinking a way out is the right spirit that should motivate a lot of guys out there who may have encounter this issue due to some misleading "courses" or poor "advises" given. This sharing definitely motivates us to always come up with a solution and try our best to handle whatever misery or deep shit that we are in. Nobody really cares what shit you are in except for your family & friends who care for you. It's not the problem of selling at a loss as long as your objective or exit strategy is to survive. It's a mistake of the past that cost a losses of hundred thousands but the experience gained will help you in the next investment strategy that you are going for, knowing what you want is one of the most important decision that you helps to make your next decisions. Kudos to you. 🙌 🙌 💪 💪

[@meiyanlee1058]

Wow, very good sharing, i totally understand you when you said you were from cosntruction and wanted to change to other industry which is same as me, looking die hard for others to value us when the life in construction was damn hard. Just because I need the money, I need to survive, so then I escape from the industry...I couldnt imagine my life still working there when the credit card debt gets rolling bigger.

[@owl2416]

Great sharing, same situation back to few years ago. Lucky everything getting settled :)

Thanks a lot for sharing Sean! Your channel is now growing to become something more than just a property channel. These life lessons to youngsters like us just adds so much more value to your channel and your audience! Keep it up 🔥

[@ZietInvests]

This is such an educational piece. Went through the entire “sell time for money” thing 2 years ago and working 17 to 20 hours a day while falling asleep infront of my laptop was the most painful thing ive ever tried to “escape” from the rat race 😂 now im past that stage and am looking for a property myself, your advice is as valuable as ever! Thanks Sean!

[@DubaiFishHunter]

Very good shared experience. Thanks bro... Waiting for more videos from you. Never get bored.

[@regineip]

Thanks for your kind sharing. I was just wondering how could u go through it when I watched halfway. Yes, refinance will be the only solution. Restructuring within same bank not possible, like u said, no commission earn n a lot of work. Need justification etc. You are right to say that there is no mercy from bank. Another thing is need to check the loan doc before signing. Once sign no turning back. U cannot tell the bank u are not aware. Happy that u found someone who can help u gradually.

[@btssoul]

thank you for the real and genuine sharing Sean

Thanks for sharing your personal experience, boss. Your experience reminds of a saying that " Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" . It is how one deals with the aftermath of the punch that separates a winner from a loser. Looks like you handled it like a CHAMP.

Thanks for sharing, property can be very scary when cannot pay off the loan. I'm consider quite lucky person cause I was attend one of the guru paid course and learn about risk management.

[@iherng]

Good for you Aze:) Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for sharing .. You are really both good n lucky to have made it thru .. Your mental resilience, drive n energy to prevail is something that is good for all to emulate .. You might want to learn from warren buffet n go into stock investment instead ...

[@csyap1077]

Very good sharing, appreciate this Sean. And very important takeaway for us - Do not have the need to constantly impress people, anything anytime anymore 🙌

Best video I have watched so far.

[@David-wq8mg]

I am new to KL property and have been watching your videos religiously. But without doubt this is your best video ever (and the others are all very good). Thank you so much for sharing. I don't normally leave comments and hope you get to see this. IMO - Best way to make money is NOT to sell time, service or product, but is to realise money is not real. BTW - money is pretty *'ing real when you are starving with no food to eat. But I am not talking about that, I am talking about how to 'make money'. Best of luck.

[@notsocoolright8852]

it is very true, from my experienced. even a strong bond friendship/brotherhood, can get ruined over 3k, another case is 10year+ brotherhood ruined because he tryhard to sell me insurance(ever since he become insurance agent) thank you for sharing Sean it's very very helpful & informative

[@Ben-do8ex]

This is as real as it can gets. Not all will meet a 贵人in life. Sean's popularity on KZbin gives him a life line and I think he mentioned before, it is one of main reason The Makeover Guys hired him. With the right connection and new higher salary, he was able to refinance his loan when many others will simply be ignored like his initial experience. Open your eyes big big when walking into property investment, learn from others mistake, and make sure you have the right connection and the right salary and the right gung-ho attitude so that it will work out fine for you.

[@nelsonhew8441]

The Makeover guys literally Make over your life!...wow! Glad you made it! Im sure you sign the dotted line to confirm the propoerty is not belongs to you anymore...Is a HUGE HUGE Sigh of RELIEF!! like the Anchor of your life is release...

yup, we dont have to impress anyone in our life. i dont give a damn how ppl look at me , how ppl judge me base on how i look, what i dress, what car i drive etc.. be comfortable with your life, take care your family, spend on your family instead of showing off.. dont be that idiot that spend all their money dressing up, buying accessories, 9 years loan for a car, and no money to spend on family holiday, family dinner, etc..

[@ladygrabduittv4472]

How do u manage to refinance your property when your salary cannot match the installment? Because to refinance bank will take 10yrs as calculation instead of 35years as calculation. I believe the uncle need to agree on the refinance as well?

[@munirahmalek]

Such a powerful message! So proud of you!

[@Gattberserk]

Hi Sean, as a forienger i can only buy 1mil MYR property. As much as i want to avoid buying so expensive property over there.

High inflation rate likely to push up interest rate...that could be higher & faster than many anticipating... So, leverage within your mean...that could be very damaging...from leveraging edge...

I am in your situation now own a wrong property. Now accumulated total 150k lost to bank interest but partner refuse to exit . in stress situation really keep you moving looking for extra money . landlord also kinda Susah too xD now I am might need appoint lawyer to aquire court order for entering my own property. Perhaps you can share about tenancy issue. Take his advise , don over commit your commitment. I get my high blood, stress and insomnia which affect my daily job, also same though declare bankruptcy to exit.

that's why it's hard to take for granted advices from already rich person to become rich, it's just doesn't suit my common gov salary. for be able to save SOME of my salary, is good enough in today inflation. but I'm happy to see young person like you, gather so many experiences in early age and success. kudos sir.

[@Ben-do8ex]

Make interesting property video and post on KZbin (free). Make sure it can catch eyeball by brushing up on your presentation and well thought out script and check out other successful video as reference.

[@Normanchoong]

In hindsight you would have been hero if the deal works out right, crazy leverage. I was in similar situation too bought an apt in JB when I was younger now with about 150k paper loss. I wasnt as overly extended like you and fortunately my income is more than 10x compare to before. Admire yours guts and preserverance, very few people can come out of it and dare to touch property again. It's like people i knew that lost some money in stocks and never touch stocks again, the rich one jump right back into it.
