It’s been a pretty busy month for us. How has it been for you?

A lot of newsletter readers have emailed me recently with the following important question – “is it time to buy?”

I will try to help with this question based on our experience of trading ready made deals UK wide, managing & building our own portfolio in the Midlands and meeting with hundreds of property investors nationally each month. Let’s start with London…

London As We All Know Is Hot Again.
Smoking Hot!

The combination of pent up demand from people who have wanted to buy for years but couldn’t and demand from wealthy foreign buyers (who also benefit from weak sterling) has caused the market to take off.

Does this mean it’s now harder to find deals in London?

Yes and no. If you are looking for a property in good condition, in a good area and you want it 30% below market value then that’s going to be challenging. No doubt about it.

If you are willing to apply a little creativity to create value, then there are still plenty of deals about. I have several London based friends and clients who do very well.

And They Do Not Always Buy At Rock Bottom Prices
To Make Their Money…

Often they will buy properties that have potential, add value and rent them out or sell them. Examples include properties that can be converted to flats, commercial units with space above to create accommodation, properties with land that can be split off and sold, properties with short leases that can be extended to add value and so on.

Continue...

Properties are also selling without a problem on the open market where I am in the Midlands. The bottom of the market for my area hit us around 12 months ago. Since then prices have stabilised and have begun to rise.

In a good market like we have now, it takes a little extra work to find the deals but at least when you do find a deal you know in most cases it’s going to be easy to sell on.

If you are renting the property then it goes without saying that you need to buy in areas where there will be a good long term demand from tenants.

As you will know, we run one of the largest most well known property trading companies in the UK (you will see some of our ready made deals on the Property Tycoons Forum) and through my involvement with this business, I have begun to see an interesting phenomenon…

Wealth Planning article #11 – Getting Organised (Part Two)

Identifying the Investments for the First Year Plan

Article 10 set the scenario for the business goal – purchase a property of value £95K, with a net first year cash flow of £380.

Assumptions. You have already decided on which local area your investment is going to be made, and have already appointed a letting agent on a fee of 8.5% + VAT (10% of rent) for full management. You have estimated your first year maintenance cost to be 10% of rent. You now need a tool to evaluate each prospective investment to assure yourself that the investment decision fits your portfolio criteria. You can obtain a 75% mortgage, you have a maximum of £3,500 cash available to invest.

Lenders have told the Bank of England that they intend to launch higher LTV products within the next 3 months.

The Bank regularly polls Lenders about lending conditions in the previous 3 months and the next 3, then compiles the results quarterly as part of its credit consumer survey.

Lenders also told the Bank that mortgage demand is likely to recover from the lows seen earlier this year. We are hopefully that this will include the Buy 2 Let range.

We have seen some private funds hit the market at 80% LTV with 6.49% fixed 2 years with some strict criteria. Funds are limited with £10 million been offered at this time. Full hopes that our normal Buy 2 Let sources will follow suit which is much needed at this time.

Tycoon Mastermind Alliance Open Day

 

Above: Our 2009 TMA Better Your Best contest finalists. The lady in the middle of the picture (wearing the purple sash) is Maksoom Hussain. She was the winner of the contest and drove away with Parmdeep’s Mercedes SLK 350 convertible spots car (worth £38k at the time of purchase)! The gentleman on her left is Glenn Perry who was the runner up and won a holiday at Parmdeep’s luxury apartment in the South of Spain.

We are now in the process of accepting applications for our 2010/2011 Tycoon Mastermind Alliance (TMA) mentoring program so we invite you to join us at one of the Open Days.

As part of the TMA program we reward our members based on how much they improve their income and profits. The current group is competing to win Parmdeep’s luxury S-class Mercedes S320 (worth £55,000 at the time of purchase). The winner will be announced in the Better Your Best contest final in June 2010.

About the Tycoon Mastermind Alliance program

 

The Tycoon Mastermind Alliance offers successful professionals and entrepreneurs unique processes for generating multiple streams of passive income from property. Tycoon Mastermind Alliance members travel from all over the UK to attend our sessions in central London and the Midlands. Members come from a huge variety of backgrounds and professions including IT consultancy, medicine, travel, finance, carpentry, property development, computer programming, accountancy, jewelers, manufacturing, tax mitigation and many more.

The Tycoon Mastermind Alliance is the UK's first and only IMPLEMENTATION program for people who want to take all the theory that's out there and put it into practice. The model that we teach is proven, totally unique AND works in this climate. You can watch videos here:

http://www.property-system.com/property-tycoon-mentoringprogram.html

You can see some of the members talking about how they become completely independent in income terms, quit their jobs and now have a ball of a time investing in property.

So what happens when you join the Tycoon Mastermind Alliance?

First of all, you get introduced to ALL the other members from the previous years. This benefit alone is a key feature of the TMA - many of the existing members have told us that property can be a lonely business but having access to this group and being surrounded by like-minded people with a passion for property is absolutely priceless. Networking and learning from this extremely high caliber group of people is half the reason most people join the Tycoon Mastermind Alliance in the first place.

Next, you meet your tutors, that's Parmdeep Vadesha and his carefully selected team of property experts who between them own over 150 properties and manage over 300 properties for other people.

Next we give you all the tools you need to be successful in property...

We do this via six compulsory sessions, extra specialised workshops and 1-1 mentoring. We work with each member to formulate a specific, workable strategy that you can use as soon as you leave the session to get yourself moving in the right direction.

No more twiddling your thumbs wondering what to do, or even worse rushing into deals you haven't thought through properly.

The workshops and specialised consulting sessions cover all the following (and much more) in detail...

• How to find distressed sellers of bargain properties.
• How to raise finance in the current climate.
• How to make money in commercial property.
• How to find and buy repossessed properties.
• How to negotiate property deals.
• How to refurbish and renovate properties for profit.
• How to effectively manage your investment properties.
• The secrets of using online marketing to dramatically build your property or indeed any other business.
• And so much more!

Then It's Time For Some Bonding!

Throughout the year, we arrange lots of fun networking opportunities OUTSIDE of the workshop environment.

This is where you continue your mentoring in a fun, safe and highly positively charged environment with other like-minded people who have similar goals to you.

For our current members, who have joined since August 2009, we have already organised the following trips for them…

- A 3 day Negotiation Mastery Field Trip to Marrakech, Morocco (see http://tiny.cc/MDcWI for pictures on Parmdeep’s blog)

- A BBQ at Parmdeep’s house (followed by a fun game of cricket!) with our team of property experts and all the other Tycoon Mastermind Alliance members.

- A one day trip to a professional letting agency that manages over 350 properties. On this field trip members learnt how the professionals manage huge numbers of properties - the systems they use, how they handle tenants, how to generate passive revenue streams and a whole lot more.

- Renovation Mastery workshop. We took the members out on a coach to view a variety of real life refurbishment projects.

- Christmas party at Parmdeep’s house followed by a night out on the town!

- And we have plenty more in store for them in 2010!

If you want to learn in detail how the Tycoon Mastermind Alliance mentoring program works, then we recommend coming along to one of our open days in London where you will meet Parmdeep, his team of property experts and some of the inspirational Tycoon Mastermind Alliance members that you have been watching on video.

We will reveal to you how the program is set up, what we do at the sessions, how we get you to perform well beyond your peak levels, how long it typically takes to earn enough to give up the day job and much, much more.

Essential Information:

 

Date: Saturday 26th June OR Saturday 17th July 2010

Time: 10am to 1pm

Location: Central London

Where you are in property right now is not relevant - you could have zero properties or 200 and it will not matter to us. What matters is your determination and will to succeed. In other words, do you desire success badly enough?

If your answer is "YES", come along to one of the Open Days and we will show you what the 'TMA' is all about and why there is no other program like it.

Screw It, Let’s Do It by Sir Richard Branson

This month I have decided to send the Property Tycoons Community Gold and Tycoon Mastermind Alliance members ‘Screw It, Let’s Do It’ by Richard Branson.

I read this book recently to learn more gems of wisdom from one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time.

This is great addition to his biography and is packed full of good advice and examples from Richard Branson’s own life.

This book is brilliant if you want to pick up some pointers on having a successful business and best of all, it's short so it shouldn’t take you too long to read.

If someone asked you why you are in business what would you say? If the answer is not profit you are more than likely not cut out to be a successful business owner.

There are many people out there who are not profit motivated, but making a business decision where profit is not the priority can lead to poor decisions and even the downfall of a business.

The pricing of your products and services will of course affect your profit and a lot of people tend to under-price, however believe it or not, price is not necessarily the most important factor for a consumer when choosing whether or not to buy.

We held another fantastic Property Clinic tele-conference this month for our Tycoon Mastermind Alliance members. Two of our resident property experts are Hanif Khan and Parmdeep Vadesha.

Hanif is a successful property investor and entrepreneur who owns a string of estate agents and lettings agencies. Hanif has bought and sold hundreds of houses, and in order to be able to negotiate with lenders to reduce debt he set up his own debt management company and currently controls £4.45m of property using lease options secured on commercial property and land.

Parmdeep started investing in property whilst working as a forklift driver at a crisps factory. Within three years he had become financially free from successful investments in property.

He went on to build the UK‘s largest and most successful community of property investors who buy cheap below market value properties.

One of the questions that was put to our experts this month was from a Tycoon Mastermind Alliance member who wanted to know more about bridging finance.

Q. How, and under what circumstances would you use a bridging company?

Parmdeep Vadesha answers:

Basically, my experience when I started in property was I didn’t have the money to buy and put down deposits and do properties up and then remortgage them. So, because I didn’t have that initial deposit, I went out and found people who could lend me that deposit. What tended to happen was they preferred to buy the whole property cash.

A few years ago, for the benefit of my extensive network of thousands of business contacts I set up a website called the Property Tycoons community. The website URL is –

www.TheTycoonMethod.com

The website expanded at an exceptional rate from zero members at launch to over 1,000 subscribed members in just 12 months!

The Property Tycoons forum is where over 3,000 property investors go to pass on and take property deals from each other, discuss property investment, help each other arrange networking meetings, chat live with each other on the Internet and MUCH more!

I thought it may be instructive for me to go through some of the commonly overlooked features of the forum here for the benefit of newsletter readers.

A lot of our members do not know about the LIVE chat room feature we have provided for our members to speak with each other in an online chat room environment at any time of the day or night.

You can find this by clicking the "LIVE chat" link at the top right of the forum page. Log on between 8pm and 11pm to find members chatting about property investment.

Our deals and leads sections have also proven to be exceptionally popular with members. This is where our members can pass on and take deals from each other.

Go to www.TheTycoonMethod.com, scroll down the page and look for the sections titled "ready made deals..." and "pass on and take leads..."

For a bit of fun and relaxation, I have also included a games section on the forum. Simply click the "arcade" link in the top right of the forum. Choose the classic arcade game you want to play and see if you can beat our resident games masters!

I have also put up several training videos to teach Property Tycoons Forum members how to find bargain properties. The aim of the calls will be to teach Tycoons community members how to...

• How to find bargain properties using other people's time and resources...
  
  
• How to set up your own bargain property finding website...
  
  
• How to set up advertising campaigns on Google and Yahoo...
  
  
• The software I use to spy on my competition and figure out their Google keywords...
  
  
• Search engine optimization techniques...
  
  
• How to pass on the deals and leads you do not want to pay for the ones you do— here's how the professionals get their bargain property marketing paid for by other people!
  
  
• And much, MUCH more!
  

To watch the training videos go to www.TheTycoonMethod.com. Click 'free downloads' from the top left of the screen then go to the "How to find bargain properties - training videos for Tycoons members" section. The videos are all in there – simply click the blue links to open the videos. They will take a few minutes to load so please be patient. The videos will even show you how to generate leads for FREE – using little known jealously guarded secrets us 'nerds' keep to ourselves.

In the meantime email your burning questions about finding bargain properties to us at www.askparmdeep.com!

In our Ready Made Deals section you will find deals that are being passed by on by our members with NO upfront fee charged.

You only pay a finder's fee if you go ahead and buy the property. A refundable deposit may need to paid up front for some of these deals (all conditions of sale are clearly stated).

These 'Ready Made Deals' are generally fully negotiated deals on which we have already exchanged contracts. They are very popular with members so you'll need to be quick if you want one!
