I've heard about a company called Inside Track (here) who have advertised on various radio programmes and property magazines about teaching people how to invest in property and how to build up property portfollios.
Has anyone any experiance of using them? Are they any good? What is the outlay?

Do a search on this forum and there a quite a few threads about it!!!
I persoanally went to one of their free seminars, then their fee based seminar 3 years ago. Like I've said previously, with hindsight, I would not spend a single penny to go on these seminars, they do not tell you anything that you can not get for free, especially on here.
Avoid at all cost!!!Debt at highest (November 2005) = £35,856
Debt currently (August 2006) = £20,790
&More £1,530, Egg £6,800, HSBC £3,760, Egg Loan £8,700
Interim goal = £23,400 (Target: February 2006, Missed but acheived May 2006)
2nd Interim Goal = £15,000, Target October 2006
Debt Free Date = February 2008 BUT I'M GOING TO BE TRYING FOR SOONER!!!

I was very put off by their free seminar - hard sell to get you on the expensive (£2,500) weekend seminars. There's further fees after that - something like £6,000 to join a branch of the organisation that supposedly gets cheap deals on buying off plan. The guy who lead the whole thing was brash and at times rude, and there were sharp suited sales folk everywhere ready to pounce on you and subject you to more hard sell. Just going to the loo was like running the gauntlet. Decide to avoid it at all costs.Life is not a dress rehearsal.0

I saw an advert for a similar free sales session, I mean seminar, but on the topic of share trading. I quite fancy going along for some free entertainment. The same with this sort of thing. I'm prepared to go just to check out my sales avoidance techniques. Very MSE I reckon.Happy chappy0

If there is so much money to be made in BTL property if you know the right secret techniques, why are these people bothering to run a company telling other people to do it?
Why not just run a property empire instead?0 -
It's the new Timeshare thing.Happy chappy0

Isn't it just a nigerian scammer taking advantage of the greedy mugs that sign up?0

anyone who NEEDS to go to these things should not be in the property game anyway!0

Exactly!Why not just run a property empire instead?
the only thing they will tell you is that if you buy cheap you can make a profit and when you have some profit or the house prices go up you can remortgage to get at the capital to reinvest in more property, hence building a property portfolio.
you all owe me £2,499, well i saved you a quid what you complaining about! ;-)
as it goes they make a lot of extra money by having mortgage people and the like conveniently at the seminars!0
