Thread: Inside Track

Be very careful about this type of investment - I am not saying that some do not work but as an ex-letting agent in Manchester City Centre here are some actual scenarios:   Client landlord comes in happy as has secured "true" 15% discount on property and wishes to let it.   Client has to spend additional £3000 to £5000 to furnish it to required standard.   Of the 120 or so units built 50 went to...

I live and operate in London and the immediate surrounding areas so my experiences are based on what I have done so far.    I have attended 3 Inside Track initiation seminars, the first one about 18 months ago as well as other property sourcers/portfolio builders to try and establish their angle and have yet to be convinced that they are in the business for anyone but themselves. The...

I have just returned from a two and a half hour property investor seminar with fast track. This was the free introductory seminar to give potential property investors a taste of what they are all about and what they could possibly achieve. In a nutshell, the seminar consisted of an introduction to the company, an insight into what they can do to help you achieve your long and short term financial goals, systematically but straight forwardly...

NickHam,   That was a very good eye opener, thank you for that money can't buy information, this is what we expect from investors to share with one another. Thank you for your words of wisdom,am sure you are one of the experienced investors. What are your views on BMV for older properties ( non new build). I've decided to stay off new builds now. It's not worth the hassle

Some excellent points by Nikham and Sourcer. A good research tool for Inside Track is http://www.singingpig.co.uk and search old threads in the property discussion.   Personally I avoid apartments like the plague - Service charges and oversupply are a real problem. There is also no local housing demand to support re-sale. Typically the market is to investors but the 'true' value is open to potential manipulation.  ...

Hi, I have been to one of Inside Track seminars, I did not take the plunge, but heard that differing views on how good they are at meeting objectives. I guess it really comes down to how good the individual is at following through on the info they have gained and net working with contacts made. Sharon CP

Hi, I attended a two day event last year (my friend had bought a ticket and he got a free one to take along a friend/colleague) The presentation was good, some useful tips picked up from the day for sure but nothing more than you could probably find in a forum like this to be honest. At the breaktimes the mortgage people were on hand to offer advice and basically ask you what you did etc etc. This was a very sly way of getting details from you...

I have to admit that I have not been to any!  I have just had two offers accepted, 1 residential and 1 commercial, also sold my flip on after a re-furb. Now doing all the paperwork asap!    Seems that right time right place is key, be bold and confident to make the offer, do your numbers homework, use all your contacts, make some more, collect and exchange business cards, ask lots and tell lots to lots, that's...

Hi, I am very interested in the differing views re investing in the U.K. I am a newcomer to the U.K. market, based in Southern Ireland. There is much better value to be had almost anywhere in  the U.K. than there is in Ireland where prices have risen about 300% since 1999. Here there is a real oversupply in the new-build apartment market.   I am currently investing in Newcastle/Gateshead area where I am refurbishing...

Hi Andre,   I have been to one of these seminars. I found it very informative but wasn't impressed with the "we'll reduce the joining fee for today only" routine. I phoned several weeks later and could have joined for the same price!   I did some research, and that is the key in this game! 'Which' online were quite damning of the company stating that they charge extortionate fees for...
