    Strange. In your first post you were 'I'. Now you've become 'we'. Are you breeding?
    I sure am...and I turned to we because I showed my Mum my findings because Im asking on her behalf

    If you are dealing with this on your mother's behalf I assume she already has a varied investment portfolio of funds and stock market investments as well as cash deposits.

    If not, why on earth would you even consider something like this when you can invest in regulated investments for far less risk?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    So, just to clarify, Mossychops, having read all the posts in this thread, you think it might be a good investment for your mother?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for feedback from anybody that has actually invested in a Dream Lodge over the agreed 3yr period. Have you been happy with the returns etc? Also, has anybody sold there's on with no problem and would you consider them to be a good investment?

    Thanks in advance!!

    This is an unregulated business proposition. It is not an investment. The capital value varies and the 8% is not real income but a set figure. It could come from other people putting their money in and the real problem comes after 3 years or more importantly, when people want their money back.

    it is illiquid, high risk and unsuitable for the average UK consumer. It has virtually no consumer protection. You should not compare the word guarantee with what it means with regulated investments. There is the possibility of 100% loss of capital and income with this.

    edit: who set up the poll, and why?
    Late to the party, but I don't think this has been answered yet. I believe that only the OP could set up a poll, so your first answer is lollypark.

    This isnt an investment, this is giving away the money.

    Madness to even consider it lol

    We considered this "investment" then realized all the lodges were being sold at inflated prices (This is where they make the money)..

    Did you even bother reading the previous 40 posts? Or looking at the poll at the start of the thread?
