Hi everyone,

Just joined a few days ago and have been familiarising myself. I was going to wait till Dec, but a friend told me he was about to sell at about 15% BMV, so I thought I'd see if I could get him a good deal or otherwise improve his situation.

First steps into the market were 4 1/2 years ago, after finding about self cert mortgages and going to a free Whitney intro and learning how to get the seller to lend the deposit, I bought a mixed commercial/residential property, split the freehold to get a residential mortgage on the flat part, had to get a loan from my sister for deposit for that when the solicitor messed up the vendor loan. Though the vendor still effectively sold me the remainder of the property on a 100% loan. I then made the mistake of trying to convert the downstairs, originally a shop, to a flat, Myself! Though builders at the time were rare as hen's teeth. Re-mortgaged downstairs and now living in it.

I also did a bit of finding as I was asked to look out for somewhere suitable for an Old People's Home. Eventually found a site and had a deal for £1.3M, but it fell through.

Now looking to get started again gently... Very little capital... looking to find and maybe pass on deals to start with, then maybe flip, then when I am ready, build a portfolio.

I normally work as a Counsellor/Hypnotherapist and also Teach Alexander Technique, Train NLP, and write.

Currently single, though with some wonderful people in my life. As well as the usual interests in travel, culture, interesting people and boating, I am also getting reasonably proficient at Salsa and Tango.


Anyway, I have read quite a few of people's posts and you look like a supportive, friendly crowd. Looking forward to meeting, working with and if possible helping a few people.

Best wishes to all,

David Owen.

Hi David,

That is a good Welsh name - sure your not an escapee from here!!!

Meanwhile welcome to a very friendly forum where everyone is helpful. I am quite new here too but have already been to a meeting with some others from here, received advice, been given support and lots of encouragement.
Good luck

Wow Alison, what a FAST response!

Yes, I am an escapee- not born in Wales, though my grandfather was. I know Barry (The place, not the person) I used to live in Penarth, then Cardiff, then Llantrisant. Sister still lives in Cardiff and my son is in Swansea.... so I have connections.... and I gather it is quite a happy hunting ground for property so I might look at a portfolio in the area in the future. I do visit, so it may be worth meeting up with people in the area.

I have seen a few posts from you while browsing, so I instantly recognised your Mermaid!

Lovely to hear from you .

David Owen.

Hello again

It might interest you to know that there is a property meeting - very informal get together (No.2) in Cardiff on Tuesday 13th November. Venue Upstairs at La Tasca, Brewery Quarter just off St. Mary Street. Time 7:00pm and onwards.

Perhaps you could combine it with a visit to your sister!

We are all lovely people

Lots of experienced BMVers at the last one a few weeks ago.

Hi David,

Welcome to the forum from a local investor! I was in Plymouth last night dancing my socks off!!

There are a group of us from the south west that meet regularly to eat drink and talk property. I'm happy to add you to the email list if you would like to join us, the next meet which I'm organising will be in the early part of December... our Christmas Special

Good luck with your investing,

Enjoy

Sally

Alison,

Snap!!!

Sally

LOL! See I said we are all lovely people!

Thanks for your welcome Sally,

Yes please add me to your list, I am sending my email via PM.

If I had been dancing in Plymouth last night, should I have looked out for someone in a cat mask?

All the best,

David.

Hi David,

Welcome to the Property Tycoons Community forum! If you are looking for the biggest and most successful community of property investors who find and buy bargain properties using little or none of their own money then you've definitely come to the right place

Before you get stuck in, I highly recommend checking out the following essential beginner guides and resources to help you make the most of our Property Tycoons community:

1. I have created a set of free members only training videos to show you how to find bargain properties. I created them all myself to teach our members how they can find bargain properties for very little and often no cost whatsoever. In other words you can use these videos to learn how to find bargain properties without spending a penny on advertising or marketing! These videos are extremely popular with our members and I'll be producing more of them to help you find and buy bargain properties using little or none of your own money.

To watch the videos go to
http://www.property-system.com/aucti...s.php?catid=16. PLEASE NOTE - these video files are HUGE so they may take a few minutes to load up. I wanted to make sure I packed in everything you needed to know about finding and buying bargain properties using little or none of your own money so I didn't leave anything out

Oh and while you are in the free downloads section you may want to check out all the other documents, audios, videos and files we have created to help you make more money in property. The free downloads section can be found by going to http://www.property-system.com/aucti...ocal_links.php. This section of the forum contains dozens of free downloads you can use to make more money out of the property business with less risk. The audio sections for example contain several interviews I conducted with some of our most successful Property Tycoons community members (my personal favourites are "How To Buy 150 Properties In 2 Years" and "How To Buy A £165,000 House For £110,000 Using None Of Your Own Money"). We also add a monthly interview with our "Member of the Month" to the free downloads section each and every month. These are also very popular with our members and we have plenty more on the way to help you become more successful in the property business.

2. If you haven't already, check out this link Step 1 -> PLEASE START HERE. There you can watch videos on how to make the most of all the features we have made available for you here at the Property Tycoons forum.

3. Go to this section
