Dear Investor,
It has been a very busy couple of weeks in which I spent about a week in Berlin and a few days in Spain finalising due diligence with our lawyers on a couple of projects. Both countries and projects have a uniqueness of their own and the investment opportunities combine well in a portfolio, but also can be a stand alone for the first-time investor.
The Spanish investment opportunity is not related to tourism, it is not a sunshine investment but targeted at local people and comes with a 6% nett leaseback for up to 25 years and we are investigating whether it can be wrapped in a SIPP. There are some other excellent features and after my last newsletter we received a considerable amount of interest from subscribers. Further details will follow shortly, but if you wish to register an interest, and have not done so before, please e-mail:
franck.jeannoutot@jet-to-let-investments.com Property Investment Course Saturday 21st April 2007 - London
I personally teach a "Fundamentals of Property Investment" course about 5 times a year. In the past, the courses were more frequent, but alas time is always against me, particularly with my forthcoming large-scale development projects.
I started the courses back in 2003 as a relatively inexpensive way to help investors, whether novice or experienced, achieve better results from their investing and a way for me to provide myself with a challenge during a period in which I was "retired." Looking back over that period, I just wonder how I coped with all that free time!
After completing an investor profile online, we use this to assist you to tailor a property investment strategy aligned to your own tolerances to risk. This takes about 1 hour of the course and the remaining 7 hours are taken up with examining ways in which to make your cash and borrowings work as hard as possible for you.
By attending the course you will learn:
- How to spot the most profitable areas and localities to invest in, using information found on the internet and newspapers
- How to use other people's money for investment purposes
- How to maximise your return on investment
- How to use leverage to make 1000% returns over a 2 year period
- How, by constantly monitoring return on equity, you can drive your portfolio and profits forwards
- How to minimise risk and maximise return
- How to read investment appraisals like a professional and look for the key misleading assumptions
I am constantly amazed at the number of people who read elaborate investment appraisals written by companies who make their money out of selling you property and believe hook, line and sinker everything written. Many people who acted in haste are now repenting in leisure as many were not equipped with the knowledge or experience to challenge some of the investment assumptions which would not be out of place in a fantasy such as "Alice in Wonderland."
This course provides in one day a solid foundation which will equip you to ask the right questions and also make your own property investment decisions independently. You must understand the key and fundamental principles of investing in property before you start - not after you have made the mistakes.
Our last course in January had over 50% of the attendees from the professional property world. We had a well established property development company in London use the day as staff training, as well as a number of estate agents. The remaining students were both novice and experienced private investors, mainly from the UK. Many previous students are now full-time property investors.

Hope to see you on the 21st
