Welcome to the ultimate PK Gupta Review for 2024 where I’ll be covering his Property Investment Accelerator course.

I’m Joshua Smith, an online business owner and property investor from the Sunshine Coast.

I’ve spent thousands of hours auditing and reviewing the content from many online experts, including the popular property course and mentoring by PK Gupta.

If you’re ready to enroll but need to know:

➜ How PK’s course compares to other popular property courses.

➜ What are the common criticisms of the Property Investment Accelerator

➜ Who is the guy behind this course and what is his experience?

➜ If you really can achieve real-world results with his training.

➜ Who shouldn’t buy his course at this time

Then you’re in the right place as I took his property investing course around 18 months ago.

Not only that, but I’ve done a ton of research about this program before hitting the publish button.

Let’s jump straight in!

PK Gupta’s Property Course Overview


💡Core Concepts

Helps you build a reliable 6-figure passive income in 5-25 years’ time, depending upon your individual circumstances

💰Current Price

$6,197 AUD with no upsell.

🤩 Bonuses Offered

None that I can see at this stage.

🌍 Student Volume

1,400+ Australian students (some members do work or reside overseas, but they all focus on Aussie properties)

✌️Common Praise

Very in-depth course well beyond what is taught on YouTube. Also uses hard data as opposed to guestimations, paired with a vibrant and humble community who all get lifetime support. Clients also receive access to highly-vetted mortgage brokers, conveyancers, property managers, accountants, plus building and pest inspectors.

❌ Notable Complaints

The course is quite expensive while still requiring some hours each week to dedicate to it. The course also just briefly covers property renovation strategies while refunds are generally not offered. PK also makes some people sleepy.

🚀 The X-Factor

Feels much more like a real and long-term mentorship (years…) rather than an overnight get-rich property expert.

Students come in with realistic expectations from Day 1.

📈 Industry Trends

Australian property prices continue to stagnate through 2024. Either this will be the best time to buy or the worst time.

In any market, it does pay to be educated.

👨🏻‍💻 My Verdict

PK offers an excellent course that helps beginners build a solid property portfolio without the hype or sensationalism of other courses. It’s expensive, but affordable when compared to using a buyer’s agent. It doesn’t really touch on renovation or development techniques outside of cosmetic improvements.

Unlike using a buyer’s agent, PK’s underlying premise is to fully educate you for the long term, so you can ‘fish’ as much as you desire.

About Me

Hey there, I’m Joshua. I don’t drive a Ferrari, sip coconuts on the beach or post BS on social media. I don’t even use social media.

My focus remains on actual work and consistent progress through blogging and website investing, with earnings derived primarily from programmatic display ads.

I’ve also written a ton of course reviews here in recent years.

It should be noted that while I have been through his course, I haven’t been paid a cent for this review by PK. On the other hand, I do have affiliate links on this page but have clearly and unapologetically stated my own criticisms of his course. I’ve also come into his course with a lot of knowledge and experience (4 properties), so I can spot BS a mile away.

Proof: I’m a student in his course.

Anyway, let’s begin…

Course Modules

Week 0

Like many courses, this is the introductory module.

This module is quite short but warms up everyone with the basics.

PK reminds us to be focused, stay committed and avoid distractions.

I highly recommend that you actually combine Week 0 and Week 1 together, given how short this is, being just over 20 minutes in total.

Week 1

PK jumps straight into the strategy development phase of the course.

In this module, PK helps you develop a clear understanding on how to calculate your starting & useable equity, your borrowing capacity, passive income and more importantly, how many properties you’ll need to acquire & have paid off, before you hang up the gloves and retire.

He guides you toward the mechanics of buying an investment property and then how to use the equity in one property to buy the next investment property and the one after that. In essence, you become your own helicopter pilot where you layout your future portfolio plans.

It was very clear from this module that a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work. He helps you see the forest from the trees so you can build your dream, not someone elses.

After all, someone chasing $60k/year in passive income through property is much different than the person chasing $200k/year.

In terms of strategy, I believe that most people will need some help with customising their strategy and this is where the 1:1 mentoring element comes into play.

Week 2

This is the suburb selection phase

In this module, PK teaches you how to find periods of imbalance between supply and demand in property markets and how to use this to your advantage to predict price growth.

In plain English, that means analytizing potential suburbs using software.

He shows you how to do proper and THOROUGH due diligence using data.

You aren’t limited or pigeon-holed into a corner either. He shows you how to examine all suburbs and towns across Australia, whether you’re looking in Palm Beach, Port Lincoln or Parramatta.

I found this week reasonably easy to get through, as did many others. It feels like the core of the course right here and where you’ll find the most value.

Week 3

PK delves deeper into property selection.

Once you’ve picked the best suburbs, it’s time to delve into finding the right investment property.

After all, even if you find a good suburb to invest in, not every property in that location is an ideal investment as there will be inferior vs superior neighbourhoods.

Some homes might be vastly overpriced or structurally flawed or designed in a way that doesn ‘t suit local tastes. A good example would be a brick house in Cairns that requires the airconditioner to almost always be running.

PK likes to grade streets and homes and categorize these into grades. A-grade, B-grade and C-grade, and often from a tenant’s point of view.

He does let you run properties by him to help you in the vetting stage. He doesn’t provide financial advice but will simply give you some unbiased feedback.

Overall, I really enjoyed this module and it was more detail-orientated than I was expecting.

Week 4

From here, students focus on valuation and due diligence

In this module, you’ll be getting very close to finding a property and making an offical offer.

He shares how to determine the true value of a property before you buy without relying on sales agent opinions of online estimations that have low accuracy. Better yet – you’ll learn how to find properties WITHOUT a real estate agent, so can save on those hefty commissions.

Towards the end of this module, he touches on how to validate the best property manage team. This is something I wish I had when I started, as I’ve had some bad experiences with lazy property managers in Whyalla, SA.

I ended up with a few months of vacancies and lost rental yield. Fortunately, I now know how to vet these companies to keep my portfolio running well for years to come.

I think one of the key reasons why people are buying his course is not having to rely upon Buyers Agents or having to physically travel to inspect an interstate property in person. He goes into detail about how you can use property managers and building inspectors to your advantage to vet properties on your behalf, so you have some local boots on the ground.

Week 5

A strong focus here is on deal negotiation

I must admit – negotiation is NOT my strong point.

That said, I came away here a bit more confident with some powerful strategies to avoid overpaying for my next property purchase.

PK really changed my thought process around negotation. Instead of it feeling like someone often comes away worse off, he made me think about it as the crucial process for both parties to walk away feeling like they have each arrived at a good deal.

I’ve come away thinking that the real skill lays in finding out what the buyer really wants, rather than what you’re willing to pay. If you can find a win-win in that process, then everyone comes away happier!

Week 6

This week covers tax, legal protection and property renovations, although it’s a bit light on that end.

After the excitement and knowledgement I gained over the previous several weeks, I felt a little disappointed with this one and wanted a little more.

I think his course is positioned for passive investors rather than active property renovators. He gives some brief information about things you can renovate, but doesn’t really go into the trenches about managing tradesmen, site and council rules, access, design concepts and more.

He’s definitely into more of the cosmetic side of renovations – painting the walls, new flooring and other touch-ups. Many of his students prefer this simplified approach as well.

Hopefully, he does read this review in the future and considers adding a bit more into this module. I get that it’s not a full-blown renovation course like Cherie Barber’s, but could be expanded a little further. If you do agree, please add in your comments below.

In addition, he briefly covers some tax minimisation strategies and legal protection (Trust/Company/Own Name) in a very general sense. This makes things easier when you then speak to your conveyancer and accountant.

Wrapping Up

This is a small Wrap Up module where you’ll find the previous Zoom calls.

This concludes the whole course and does has elements of personal development. You could almost feel like PK’s been to a Tony Robbins event… 😉

You’ll be able to get to know the community even more, and tap into all the previous Zoom calls. My Tuesday evenings are generally busy so I’m usually in here on the weekends catching up on past calls.

There is also a bonus gift in here, but I won’t spoil what it is. 🙂

Course Positives

Very In-Depth

PK’s course is very in-depth (but is a little overwhelming if you go too fast).

He leaves no stone unturned in his course so you’ll be able to find good deals WITHOUT buyer’s agents and their associated fees.

I did his course after buying a couple of other courses a few years ago and a ton of books (Steve McKnight, anyone?) to become more knowledgeable.

I’m an advocate of quality education which forms a large part of my blog, and this course slightly overdelivered on my expectations.

Clear Videos and Audio

Just like YouTube, PK has invested in quality equipment.

The videos are calming yet informative, with clear detail and a high resolution.

He’s invested in a strong microphone and avoids distractive backgrounds.

I’ve done numerous online courses before where there are background distractions including children, lawnmowers and dogs barking. It’s not only tacky and unprofessional but distracts from the background.

I did get a sense that PK had recorded some of his videos more than once where he may have stumbled at getting his point across. He also avoids frustrating jump-cuts where possible.

His content, however, does make people sleepy… 😅

Uses Data, Not Opinions

PK doesn’t give investment advice. It’s of general nature only.

You’ll never see PK saying ‘buy this exact property’ but instead, he uses data to suggest the types of regions, properties and demographics you might want to consider investing into. It’s not advice – it’s simply data-driven education.

It’s clear throughout his course that he’s against buyer’s agents and property investing ‘advisors’ that, in reality, work for rich property developers. Those guys often get a $30,000 or more “kick back” for selling off the plan properties.

PK also doesn’t rely on one data set, and brings together data from a variety of local and dependable sources. He also tries to avoid sensationalistic media headlines “this mining town is going to boom!!!” and simply keeps a level-head through his processes.

Easy To Understand

From beginners to advanced investors, his course makes sense.

Regardless if you’re a seasoned professional or a notice, his course is easy to absorb. You also get PDF handouts and additional assignments to go through.

Sure – there will be modules that you’ll have to go through more than once to understand properly, but you do have lifetime access to his training.

The content is well curated and updated regularly as the Australian property market is clearly going through some changes.

Long Term Focus

Just like me, PK focuses on the long-term.

His own property portfolio is 10+ years in the making. He started with just 1 on a small income, and grew it from there.

My own blog here is 11+ years in the making (I started this in 2011). I started with 1 little website, and have grown it to more than 20.

We both believe in playing the long game and staying consistent.

For him, he’s done it with property investing in key growth regions.

For me, I’ve done it with digital assets. Both take a lot of time to gain traction.

PK’s property course teaches you to avoid shiny objects and stay committed for 5 to 25 years, depending on where you’re starting.

Certainly there are no overnight success stories here.

Vibrant Community

PK’s community is full of go-getters.

It’s no secret that I’ve bought a ton of online business and property courses.

So much so that I’ve spent more than $100,000 on my education since 2007.

And so it was always a disappointment to enter a low-calibre community.

You know, those who are looking for the ‘next big property thing’ to boom.

I like to find those who play the long game, and I found many within PK’s group.

These people are very social, regularly jump on Zoom calls and help out others in the Property Investment Accelerator community. It definitely feels like he has brought the right people together.

Also, the community isn’t on Facebook. While there is 10,000+ Australians in a Facebook group, this is available to anyone and everyone.

His private community is on Kajabi which I prefer since I dislike using any forms of social media.

No Upsells. Ever.

You won’t be offered the $25k package + steak knives.

It used to annoy me a ton when I already spent a small fortune on a course, only to be offered more course content and mentoring at a weekend bootcamp.

Even when I could afford to part ways with my money, I wish that the so called ‘expert’ was upfront about pitching upsells along the way. Very frustrating.

Fortunately with PK’s course, there are no upsells to be seen or even developer recommendations for that matter. He has no bias or agenda at hand, and simply wishes to empower his community to attain similar results as he has.

This is a strong reason why the course has been highly recommended paired with strong reviews online. Students simply feel safe within his community.

Course Negatives

It’s Expensive.

A common complaint is the $6,197 that PK charges for his course.

This is the main criticism of PK Gupta’s course. It’s expensive but it’s by-design.

Property investing by nature requires students to have a lot of working capital.

Case in point: On his course information page, he states “at least $50,000 to get started” which references the deposit you’ll need to buy just 1 property.

While his course could be much cheaper (and it has been in the past), it seems he has purposely made it more expensive.

I’m guessing he’s done this because it encourages only those who are more serious to enrol. Those that aren’t willing to spend the money still can watch YouTube and join the free Facebook group, but miss out on the extra content.

Keep in mind that his course includes lifetime coaching, unlike other property investing mentors that create this often as a sensationalized upsell.

Because of the price, the student community mainly comprises of the most serious property investors seeking to actually build a property portfolio, as opposed to those who are simply dreaming or ‘getting by’ on their journey.

So if you don’t have spare capital (cash or equity) to deploy at this time, I wouldn’t recommend you join his course right now.

It Requires Work. Real work.

It’s not just a course, but a process that requires a few hours each week.

Part of this process will be tuning into the Tuesday night Zoom calls (optional, but they’re awesome!) where PK goes beyond what is shared on YouTube and brings to life the theory and applies in front of your eyes in the real world.

You’ll also need to do your own research and look at properties regularly. This can all be done online, even while during the Zoom calls.

This might require giving up some time in the evenings or weekends to do your own due diligence on properties, but this can really pay off if done properly.

I’ve noticed as well that with 975+ students now, the 1:1 lifetime mentoring which is part of the package seems to be on demand – the more you ask, the more you get sort of deal. So it seems you’ll have to make the effort both DURING and AFTER finishing the course.

Generally Speaking, Refunds Are Not Offered.

While not publicly stated, PK generally doesn’t provide a course refund.

PK has made it a solid point that his course hasn’t been created for everyone. I mean – let’s remind ourselves of the price tag again. $6,197 isn’t pocket change.

This also is a key reason why there’s a phone call, so you can’t simply buy it online. Through that phone call, they’ll let you ask questions and also get to know you and make sure you’re as serious as they are.

He emphasizes on finding the ‘right fit’ for both the student and the educator. The results of that are in the FB group, as his students are of very high caliber.

So if you have any hesitations, then the course might not be for you at this time. You can always get started later on when you’re ready and I like that he doesn’t use “this special price for today only!!!” strategies as you often see in property seminars.

My Verdict

PK Gupta Has Genuine Results

PK has created his own 6-figure annual income from property investing.

I always recommend buying from someone who has genuine results.

As I’ve outlined in this article about PK Gupta’s Net Worth, he’s doing well financially.

It’s clear from 300+ YouTube videos that PK knows his craft very well.

So much so that he could’ve done perfectly fine without the fanfare of YouTube and building a mentoring business, but he’s clearly into empowering others.

Many Students Have Results

I’m not just talking about 2 or 3 students either.

Many of PK’s students have created their own results from his training.

While some have bought property investing courses or books before, many have accelerated their results from buying his data-driven course.

I personally know some of his students – including my 2 brother in laws and a close friend of mine – that have done well with his training.

It’s Deeper Than YouTube

It’s more systematic and precise.

Just like you, I watched a ton of his YouTube videos and wondered if it was worth joining his course. He really gives away so much for free after all.

But in the end, I would definitely say it’s been worth the experience.

The Property Investment Accelerator Course is on a whole different level. He doesn’t focus much on the surface content and dives deep for those who are serious about building a profitable property portfolio.

This Requires Consistent Work

This isn’t a ‘set and forget’ strategy.

While the end game is passive income from property, students need to still research.

The Property Investment Accelerator Course gives the education and helps create a solid pathway, but still requires work on your part.

This Requires Consistent Income

Generally speaking, you’ll need a higher-than-average income.

Property investing is a long-term play but one that requires a solid income.

Whether that be through a business or career, I don’t recommend quitting your job anytime soon until your portfolio is well and truly established.

In addition, a household salary of just $50,000/year probably won’t yield you the results you’re seeking through his course. Most of his successful students are much higher than this, often leveraging the equity in their houses too.

This brings us back to the long-term play of his strategy.

Should you wish to have the lifestyle freedom a little sooner, I recommend checking out digital assets. Link at the bottom of this page… 🙂

Verdict

The Property Investment Accelerator Course is the most genuine in Australia, backed up with a ton of 5-star reviews.

PK Gupta has built a course and community like no other, with no catches, gimmicks or weird marketing tactics.

He simply shares his passion, enthusiasm, and most importantly, data-driven knowledge on YouTube.

He appeals a little more to the migrant community who are often skeptical, but with hundreds of 5-star reviews, it’s a testament to the quality of his course.

As for me, I’m awarding it 4.7  stars. There are a few things I’ve noted in this review worth addressing, but they’re small in comparison to the entire course.

Some people will do perfectly fine not buying his course, but for those fully committed to his strategy, then this is one that I highly recommend.

Welcome to the ultimate Keep it Reet review for 2023.

Have you been seeing those ads all over social media? Me too!

I’ve been watching the rise of these lottery websites right here in Australia, with some being outright scams. 😩

In fact, Channel 7 interviewed me about Hello Lifestyle Australia a few months ago.

ABC also covered the story here:

➜ How you can protect yourself

➜ If the prizes are genuine

💰Current Price

$30 per 2 entries, right up to $250 for 125 entries.

❌ Scam Verdict

Unknown, it’s hard to tell. Despite not selling millions of tickets like other mobs, I think your chances of winning remain very very low.

📈 Industry Trends

Online raffles like LMCT+ are all the rage in Australia right now.

👨🏻‍💻 My Verdict

The crew at Keep it Reet have paid out everything so far. But like the Hello Lifestyle scam, it’s hard to know what the finances are like in the background.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Note: Even if you don’t win, the partner discounts, merchandise and events may have some good value.

Lessons in Internet Culture (from right here in Australia) created this epic video with good insights:

He had a decent dig at Keep it Reet at the start of the video.

However, I think this more akin to gambling than a trade promotion.
