Inside Track Property Investment Courses

hollydays

Read an article in todays independant which says a lot of this info can be found in books or online.The article is also online under the money section,sub section Property "why buy to let seminars can be a waste of time and money" .They also recommended this site below.( The owner says the seminars often recommend buying the wrong properties,and fail to explain about yield.)

All you need is to read a few good books (Amazon or library for the cheap end), read good newspapers financial sections, snuggle up to a mortgage adviser you feel comfortable with (who, if you do business with them, will tell you everything you need to know and know about the area you want to buy, etc.).
Don't believe a word estate agents tell you as their main aim is to sell. I have so far only meet a few who are ethical and care about their clients on both sides (buyers and sellers)).

That £2.5K could pay for stamp duty or solicitor, survey and mortgage application fees.

inside track say that too. I can also read in a book how to maintain my car, build a house etc but that wouldn't encourage me to go ahead and do it. well unless i gave up the day job first!

i.e. they say you can do it yourself...i'm not saying that its cheap far from it. all i'm questioning is the statement that its a scam.

i don't see any hidden fees or suggestions by them that they're cheap either. what exactly have they done or said that makes it a scam.

also. re: explaining yield. I think they did. they don't focus very heavily on it because they focus on building the initial portfolio (as most people attending the seminars are only just starting off) so they focus more on making sure that rent covers mortgage so allowing your capital to grow at minimal cost. However, they do talk about the 2nd phase. i.e. of once you've built a certain level of capital in your portfolio at which time they suggest stopping buying property for a while and switching at least some of your focus away from growth and towards revenue (i.e. yield). They do cover both strategies though and nobody can say either is the correct answer for any individual at any given point in time. so I think the suggestion that they don't cover it is mis-leading. I guess it just goes to show that 2 people listening to the same presentation can "hear" or infer different things.

last weekend? i.e. i.e. the sh*t hitting the fan? I'd be interested to read of course.

Inside Track are expensive but they are not a scam - they sell education at a price.
You can buy books to learn or the 'pirate' DVD's on E-Bay but at the end of the day, people are responsible for their own decision but seem to find it easier to blame others for their failings.

I have only been to the FREE Inside Track workshop so cannot compare their course to others.

DUE DILIGENCE when doing courses or buying property is a MUST!

There are cheaper ways to get similar info through the internet, forums, amazon, local property clubs etc... It all depends on exactly what you want to achieve from property as there is a lot to learn and on-going 'study'. If you need any more info please feel free to contact me.

One of the best ways to get clued up is to talk to people already making a successful living out of property investment - If you come to one of our FREE workshops you will have the valuable opportunity to do just that! You can't beat one-to-ones for those little gems of knowledge and the real lowdown on the current market. Whilst the workshops serve as an introduction to the paid seminars, they still offer many useful nuggets of information and a general overview of the industry. Come along to one, they are regularly held all over the UK, and there's no obligation to take it further so what's to lose... Good luck

That was unfortunate for you, but it does not make sense to tar everybody with the same brush.

Hi Paul

I have to say Inside Track is a f**king joke. :money:

RadoJo

Southsea - what exactly happened to you with Inside Track then? I must have missed all the excitement over them when you posted in March, but I would be interested in your experiences...?

Hi,

If you check out http://www.yourpropertyclub.com they have a heap of information free so you don't have to pay stupid fees. You can also call them and they are happy to explain. They seem like a nice guys. I love the whole 2 year cashflow they do based on the realistic rentals rather than the over the top ones that most property clubs try and tell you you will receive.
