QLD & NT Head Coach – Lifetime Mentoring Program

Duncan Buchanan was handpicked for the reputable position of QLD & NT Mentoring Coach by the Positive Real Estate Team, due to his extensive experience and million dollar property portfolio he had attained as a member of their Lifetime Mentoring Program. Additionally Duncan has an extensive array of education to his name including a Graduate Diploma in both Management, Communications & Information Technology, a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Certificate IV in Finance Broking.

Duncan presents to thousands of people as a sought-after national speaker for iconic industry events and spends his days coaching his hundreds of clients in the Lifetime Mentoring Program; showing them how to build property wealth successfully and helping them create and live the life they truly wish to live, by teaching them how to use property investing as a vehicle to achieve these dreams.

Duncan became a Mortgage Broker to ensure he understood how to best structure finance to achieve the results through property for himself and nowadays for his many clients. Whilst Duncan is no longer a practicing Mortgage Broker, his many years of knowledge, skill and experience in running a National mortgage broking business places him in a unique position of successfully taking complex finance and investment concepts and making them easy to both understand and also to practically take action on.

Many of Duncan’s clients start with a general understanding of property investing, but few ever had a plan or a real, tangible goal they want to achieve. After working with Duncan in the Mentoring Program, many of his clients have had great success through a three way process. Firstly, by attaining some clarity on their overall objective; secondly, by discussing and setting-up a strategy or plan that will allow them to achieve their written goals and more, and finally (a step can often be the hardest) Duncan walks with them step-by-step, showing them practically how to apply this plan and go and take action to build a secure property investment portfolio and assist them to create a passive income.
