Welcome to our new readers and welcome back to those of you that joined us at the first edition. Following the any positive responses we received, we believe you will enjoy the second edition of Magazine with the improved content and format that it now follows.

In this edition of the Magazine, we turn our focus to investment opportunities in Germany, Bulgaria and the evergreen Spain. We welcome you to our new ‘special features’ section, where we take a closer look at the 3000 results we received in response to a random survey. We will be carefully monitoring how these results (top investment destinations) stack up over the next year or so through subsequent issues of the magazine. We introduce Collette Lord, a successful landlord, gauge her opinions on property investment and air her article on how you are never too old to start investing. We also welcome Richard Thompson, whose interesting article provides us with a fantastic insight into the benefits of providing and producing ‘Accessible Property’. You will be amazed at the additional markets that you can open up.

Finally, we have improved the usual features and analyses of the UK, Irish, European and World News. We continue our examination of economic terms and the effects they have on the decisions we make. In this edition, John Farrell, introduces the concept of exchange rates, how they work and what we need to know. As always Tony Taylor, our mortgage expert explores various mortgage products as well as providing some valuable tax tips. Finally, Dominic gives his own forthright views on success, Good Fortune and Wealth.

Issue 3

Welcome to issue 3, again we thank you for your considerable responses and the many questions we will endeavour to resolve throughout the course of the magazine. Yet again, we will be bringing you an action packed edition, brimming with exciting information and top tips. We are sure you will enjoy the magazine as we experience a significant stage of growth and look forward to you growing with us.

In this our third edition, we have gone bigger and better due to the development of the ‘special features’ sections as we continue to expand and bring you the latest information on the top investment destinations from around the globe. In this edition, we focus on the investment potential of Brazil, Lithuania and Croatia. We hope you find them informative and illustrative of the typical investment opportunities currently on offer. Dominic, having recently launched the meteoric success story aka The Grove Spa Resort, details what he believes makes a good resort. He takes you on a guided tour of each stage of the process, explaining how the potential re-sales and lettings of a high quality resort far outweigh those of a ‘typical’ resort. We review the much maligned Home Information Packs (HIPs), along with an assessment of how the recent floods have and will affect property prices in and around those areas. We take a look at what the floods mean for investors and what the future may bring. Collette Lord gives her inimitable view on how to find great tenants, whilst David Lawrenson reviews what’s next for the UK property market.

Issue 4

The release of the Magazine’s fourth edition heralds our first birthday. Our first birthday, is a source of great pride as subscriptions are through the roof, we are posting the magazine to 49 different countries around the world and the latest edition is by far the most comprehensive and informative edition yet, with 60 pages of action packed tips and suggestions on how and where to make money from investment properties. We look forward to identifying some of the best investment opportunities in what may prove to be a pivotal year with many economic markets being subjected to intense review and overhaul following the adverse effects of what is becoming a global credit crunch.

In this edition, we focus on a fantastic investment opportunity in neighbouring France. This ski-resort in Val d’Allos, is nestled under the shadows of the southern French Alps and is being offered as part of a guaranteed 9-year leaseback scheme. These properties are also fully hands off as they are completely property managed. This scheme is very low risk and is being offered in an area that has witnessed average capital growth returns of 15% per annum. The magazine contains a detailed report on the resort inclusive of example costs. Looking a little further, we feature Hungary, as a potential investment destination that appears to have been consistently undervalued over the last few years. This report illustrates the real potential on offer in this Central European Country that is home to the cultural delights of its capital, Budapest. Budapest sitting on the Danube, is complemented by a natural environment of hills, forests and natural thermal spas. With four central sites being awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, it is easy to see why property investment is viewed as such good value. This concept is only heightened when compared to some of its illustrious neighbours such as Austria and Croatia.

This editions third and final ‘country focus’ features Cape Verde, a small band of islands with Caribbean type characteristics located just off the West Africa coast. With Cape Verde due to join the EU in 2008, this island paradise has grown in stature and has undergone some major transformations as many have been awakened to its irresistible charm, not to mention the investment opportunities on offer, it’s warm weather, direct and accessible flights and strengthening financial and tourism based industries. Cape Verde is certainly one to watch this year and we bring you some interesting facts and figures on the island.

The ‘Special Features’ section of this edition has witnessed some strong growth this magazine, whilst Dominic gives an interesting insight into his busy schedule and how the economy affects his investment and development decisions. Henry Powell-Jones gives an in-depth analysis of French leaseback schemes, whilst making an introduction to our sister company, Jet-to-Let Investments. We recommend that you keep an eye on the investment arm of the company and the many upcoming opportunities becoming available in the coming months. We have some outstanding investment deals coming up in France, Berlin, mystical Morocco and the beautiful Sicily. Be assured that we will bring these exclusive opportunities to you as and when they become available. The special features also include a written report from the first Jet-to-Let Annual Conference, Liverpool: Capital of Culture 2008 along with a review of the opportunities such an illustrious award may present to UK investors. We also review what it takes to become a student landlord and look at the associated benefits as well how to spot that elusive opportunity. Finally, we analyse the implications of the pre-budget tax review and look at the likely effects it will have on UK property investors.

Issue 5

Welcome to the 5th edition of the Jet-to-Let Magazine, by now we hope that you will have received your latest personal copy in the post and have had a little time to digest the content. Following our latest marketing audit, we have now discovered the magazine is being posted to 61 countries, whilst our database has now officially topped 12,500 with new subscribers being added on a daily basis. We believe this edition is the most informative and comprehensive edition yet and features some interesting focus articles on countries that our readers have specifically requested more information over the last few months.

This edition features some interesting information concerning investment opportunities in Dubai, Sicily and India. The information that has been collated on these countries makes for some interesting reading following the in-depth research that has been undertaken to bring you these featured articles.

The magazine also introduces an investment opportunity we will be launching in the next couple of weeks. The new five-star complex, The Palm Spa Resort, is being offered to readers at a discounted rate for pre-launch registrations.

The Palm Spa Resort, Tersefanou, Cyprus is scheduled for completion in 2011 and is being constructed near to the new PGA managed golf course being built in the area. It is believed that the whole area will soon become a hotbed of activity due to the inward investment and attractions that are being lined up for the region as it develops from a sleepy little village into a large, five-star sporting mecca. The Palm Spa Resort, will feature 2 large outdoor swimming pools and Jacuzzis, children’s swimming pool and tennis court. The indoor Spa will feature treatment rooms, heated indoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi, gymnasium and relaxation areas. Underground parking, an innovative bar/restaurant, 24-hour concierge service, property management and resales service will complete the resort which has been designed to appeal to the more discerning investor through the limited number of luxury apartments the resort will house. Anyone interested in registering for the pre-launch discount can do so at: www.thepalmsparesort.com

The ‘Special Features’ section continues to strengthen and is packed with top tips for investors including the top ten tax tips by a leading tax consultant, how to get a bargain at a property auction and information for investors on how to maximise rental incomes if thinking of investing near a golf course. There is also an update on the activities of the Jet-to-Let Investments team and an insightful article on the potential opportunities on offer to investors interested in Marrakech, Morocco. Dominic talks us through a typical week of his busy schedule in a Diary of a Property Investor and Developer, whilst we reveal the top ten destinations as voted by the latest thousand subscribers we polled in the Jet-to-Let Magazine 2008 subscriber survey.

As always, the magazine is completed by our regular features including the UK, Ireland, European and Worldwide News round-up, Ireland, UK and US Property Market Reports, again, all of which make for some interesting reading that may prove pivotal when investors are searching out some opportunities in well-developed and mature property markets. Dr Stephan Pfaffenzeller returns with the Economics Masterclass when he examines the five-year outlook for the sterling against the dollar, whilst Farrell’s View takes a look at the Stockmarket versus Property as an ongoing investment opportunity. Dominic’s Prosperity Column examines wealth and prosperity drawing on the views of some of the leading icons of the 20th Century. We end the magazine with our Diary of Events for the upcoming 3 months and hope that you enjoy this magazine and keep your questions coming in. 

Issue 6

Welcome to issue 6 of the Jet-to-Let Magazine. This particular edition of the magazine managed to provoke the thought processes a little more than usual following the amount of changes that we were witnessing on an almost daily basis. With a tumultuous financial market, large-scale government bail-outs and a constantly changing stream of news that seemed to get worse and worse as the days drew to evening, it is with a lot of hard work that we have managed to finally get a complete and up-to-date version out to you.

The Magazine continues to thrive with figures illustrating that 'real-time' subscription levels have now topped the 14,000 mark of actual subscribers. The magazine database also indicates that we now distribute the magazine to 74 different countries around the world, making the Jet-to-Let Magazine a genuine International publication. In spite of the less than favourable publicity the global property market is currently part of, we understand that knowledge is power and fully expect subscription levels to continue to grow as investors become more focused on discovering the facts and figures prior to delving into the market in search of some real 'bargains' in the near future.

The 6th edition of the magazine showcases Italy, Panama and Turkey as our focuson articles and are featured in direct response to the many enquiries we have received from subscribers. All articles are professionally written by esteemed property journalists, having been thoroughly researched to provide you with a firm basis from which to conduct your own further research.

The 'Special Features' section in this edition of the magazine is packed full of interesting articles that have been written to give readers a little bit of an insight into the activities of the Jet-to-Let team over the last few month.

First up, is a review of the day's activities during this year's Jet-to-Let Magazine Annual Conference. This report permits readers to get a feeling for what the event was about, the presentations that were given and to discover what a fantastic networking opportunity that this action-packed but enjoyable event really is for investors interested in getting a 'heads-up' on the latest investment opportunities out there. In a 'Diary of a Property Investor and Developer' readers can view a week through the eyes of Dominic Farrell as he takes us on a whistle stop tour of Rhodes, Cyprus and then Marrakech from the perspective of a developer and also an investor. Next up, is a follow-up article explaining how the 'Marrakech deal' works for any investors potentially interested in investing in a traditional Riad property that has been identified and then luxuriously renovated, complete with modern amenities. With high occupancy, all year-round sunshine, low-cost flights, a prime in the Medina and a guaranteed 7% leaseback scheme, this really is an opportunity worth looking into. A well-researched article discussing how the new-found spending power of the Russians is positively affecting the economies of both the established and emerging markets of the globe follows. The Palm Spa Resort launch evening review allows readers to visualise the evening's entertainment and activities as scores of guests converged on the Liverpool city centre to celebrate the launch of our second five-star health spa resort in the upmarket area of Tersefanou, Cyprus. This highly successful evening followed an equally successful day that witnessed a massive 61% of the available units being reserved on the opening day.

In the first of a new series, meet Robert Bence, a Property Consultant and member of the Jet-to-Let team. In this candid review, Robert introduces himself, his ambitions and the investment opportunities he has already taken as he sets out on the road to financial freedom following three simple principles. The Property Entrepreneur Programme feature explains how you can become a property entrepreneur, benefitting from the experience and practical advice and guidance of the Jet-to-Let team. In this article, learn what the scheme is about, the selection process, how to get onboard and the activities that any budding property entrepreneur has to undertake and successfully complete before benefitting from the extensive network that becomes open to them.

Following on from the how, why and when, we take a look at two graduates of the first Property Entrepreneur Programme. Read the story of Steve Wright and Jill Cruxton as they introduce themselves, their backgrounds and the reasons why they chose this industry to develop as a career. They also give a little insight into their hopes and dreams, as well as an insight as to how the Property Entrepreneur Programme has helped them begin to realise their own ambitions.

Finally, we introduce our readers to our latest service, 'Readers' Resales'. In this specially commissioned section, take a look at the investment opportunities that are available direct from our readers to your letterbox. This new section, gives readers the opportunity to market their own properties for sale to our substantial database of active investors, thus extending your own individual networks, whilst also giving investors the opportunity to acquire new investment properties direct from our readers. This section is new and we envisage it growing significantly in the near future as it provides the perfect outlet for buyers and sellers to find the perfect match at a discounted rate. Besides receiving a 'LIVE' hardcopy advert in the Jet-to-Let Magazine (for 3 months), any reseller also benefits from receiving 6 months free listing (multiple photographs and a full webpage for descriptive text etc) on our new purpose-built website www.jet-to-let-resales.com . This section will be strictly limited to permit resellers to receive a fair amount of coverage and we regret that it will have to be on a first come-first served basis.

As always, the line-up for this edition of the magazine is completed by our regular features including the European, International, UK and Ireland news round-up, along with the European, Ireland, UK and US property market reports offering a cutting edge insight into what is going on in the markets that may affect investment decisions. Farrell's view takes a look at the market place amidst the recent economic turmoil and suggests that 'the only thing to fear is fear itself' as he anticipates the raft of opportunities that will undoubtedly become available to the wise investor, whilst the Prosperity Column takes a look at the importance of self-belief and determination as two pre-requisites for any successful individual. This article also introduces readers to the concept of the International Wealth Network as a networking event for budding entrepreneurs and business people to meet up regularly at various venues around the UK and discuss new ideas and wealth creating ventures in an amiable and conducive environment. We apologise for the omission of the Economics Masterclass, but unfortunately, the article we had commissioned was rendered obsolete almost instantaneously due to the massive movements in the financial markets and so we decided not to proceed with the article in this edition, but, it will be back in issue 7 in the new year. Finally, we end the with our new-look Diary of Events for the upcoming quarter. We hope you enjoy the magazine and would ask that you keep your questions coming in.
