Hello: my name’s Clive. I started my working life as a Lecturer in English Literature, which gave me enough spare time to do refurbs, (I’m now living in my 14th residential refurb. since my first in 1979). In 1990, I left to set up my own Apple IT company.
Then a couple of years ago, seriously disenchanted with my pension, I decided to go into property investment. I’ve taken courses with Dolf de Roos, Inside Track, Challenor, Rutland, & Martin Welch, amongst others. I’ve also worked for Inside Track and for Challenor, which let me see from within their business models.
My portfolio’s now 22 properties – UK, US & New Zealand (very safe, no emerging markets!) I’m a property investor full-time, speak at real estate seminars, and have written a number of e-books about property. While I was researching
Home Pages, a collection of over 2,000 bookmarks linked to property matters, I came across this site.
I also source new-build
BMV property for friends & clients, and to me, the ultimate recommendation on a property deal, is to do what Victor Kiam did, and buy one yourself. I’m suggesting four deals now, which might appeal to forum members, (I’ve put them in the proper section on this forum), and so, obviously, I’ve also bought one of each myself.
My take is that although there are many, many ways to make money from property, all of them equally valid, and no one system better than any other,
BMV is the only way to buy, however. (Will anyone beat Richard Branson’s purchase of Necker Island at 94%
BMV?) I don’t believe any one person has all the answers (although Donald Trump has most!) and that given the right network (I’m still looking for a good conveyancer, any recommendations?) and a continuing education, anyone can earn financial independence from property.
Looking forward to meeting members at events...
