Avoid like the plague.

See 'Inside Track' another company who used to offer 'property investment seminars' but have now stopped due to the 'difficulties' in the housing market.

If you want to get into property investment (and now really isn't a good time - imo), then do your own research and don't rely on these cowboys to help out.

If you are the trusting or suggestible type, I would stongly recommend you stay away. Free seminars of this sort are inevitably part of a selling process (otherwise they wouldn't do it) and are populated by really hard core salesmen. Unless you are very good at saying no you are likely to come away from the seminar having agreed to something that makes you feel uneasy. And if you don't agree to something, you will be made to feel guilty.

don't bother going to the course

I will

1) buy a house for £100,000

2) sell it to you for £125,000

3) get you to use my solicitors and valuers as it's easier

4) give you a 6 month money back promise but only if you attend all our club meetings in London (no much use if you live elsewhere in the country)

you missed

3.1)sort all your finance through my dodgy network of lenders

5) find you tenants and manage the property for you.

6) drop you like a stone or buy back your property for £80,000 when you can't afford the repayments because the tenants never actually wanted to move from Mars.

.......and to sign up for my magical money making merry-go-round am I asking £20k?...no sir .....am I asking £10k?...no madam all for I ask is £2500 to attend my course.

What is it that you want to acheive? Do you have an idea or do you just want to

I'd read the forums on singing pig if you want to see how others contact distressed sellers.

The only way to make money is to buy at below the market value or make a house considerably large than it already is. You do that by looking really hard and getting to know the market in the process. It takes work as well, property is not a cash cow anymore.

New build flats are to be avoided like the plague.

Sounds like a lot of work to me. Can't I just go to a seminar and then borrow a bunch of money and get rich that way?

Yeah, everyone else is making loads of money out of property, why should I be left out, its free money and everyone is doing it, can't go wrong.


Just realised, it actually sounds like a pyramid scheme

How about we start a company that does seminars that tell people working for a living is actually quite a good idea, not to borrow more than you can pay back and to live within your means.

Oh dear I have clearly completley lost the plot:rotfl:

Great idea. We could call it something like 'School' or 'Technical College' and teach people skills that they could apply to make money with a little Graft(TM) or Hard Work(TM).

The idea starts with you earning a little but as you gain skills and the ability to sell them you end up quite comfortably off with a little luck.
