Now that we’re coming to the end of 2007, I will be spending a lot of time thinking about how I can better serve the homeowners we buy houses from, my business partners and of course my newsletter readers next year.

As I mentioned earlier, there will be a lot of opportunities next year to purchase properties well below market value. During the Christmas break I will be creating marketing strategies that we will use next year to source properties in areas where I feel many homeowners are likely to face financial difficulties. I’ll keep you updated on how that goes.

In terms of helping you become more successful I’ll be focusing on several things. The 100% finance we provide through www.property-finance.com is working really well for our clients. I’ll be ramping that up next year to help even more newsletter readers purchase bargain properties using as little of their own capital as possible.

I’ll also be sourcing a lot more ready made deals for you. These are below market value properties we get offered to us from finders across the UK. The deals are in constant demand so I do apologise in advance if you find it difficult getting your hands on them! They tend to go very quickly.

You can keep an eye out for new deals on http://tinyurl.com/25w4kq. If you see one you like please email us right away for the best chance of getting selected.

Over the years I’ve been constantly asked to provide mentoring to help people build successful property businesses. I’ve done a little bit of one on one consulting and I have really enjoyed it. So early next year I’ll be officially launching my mentoring

program!

I’ll be taking on a maximum of 100 property entrepreneurs who will work closely with myself and my team to significantly grow their property businesses. Our aim is to work closely with individual property entrepreneurs who then take away our systems and apply them. The program will be specifically tailored to people who want to be buying at least six properties a year.

I’ll be guaranteeing you make 10x what you paid to join or all your money back to take away all the risk. The catch with this outrageous guarantee (there’s always a catch!) is that you must first of all attend one of our monthly meetings before we will consider taking you on. At the informal meeting you can tell us a bit more about yourself and why you’d like to be mentored and we’ll go from there. Attending the meeting tells me you are serious about this so that’s why I insist on all interested people coming along to meet us before applying.

The top performers (i.e. those who improve the most) will win some pretty amazing prizes including my £30,000 Mercedes convertible, free stays at my luxury apartment in the South of Spain, consulting with property experts and much more.

There will also be field trips included throughout the year where we will visit actual property developments and refurbishments taking place not to mention face to face meetings where you’ll have closed door sessions with me, my team and the other mentees to focus on building you your very own income generating property business.

Check out www.property-coach.com if you are interested and I’ll send more information across once we’re ready to

launch.

I have been inundated with requests recently about my self build project so I thought I’d better give an update before I get more emails asking about it!

As my Tycoons community members will know, I had my heart set on a pre fabricated timber frame from the acclaimed German house builder Huf Haus (www.huf-haus.com). Having carefully worked the numbers with my architect and looked at the development I’ve decided to go for a traditional masonry build.

I will have to commit more time to the project but the cost savings are worth it. In fact I’ll end up creating a similar sized property to the one Huf would have built me but for around £200,000 less.

This is because I’ll reducing the cost per sq ft from £150 per sq ft to around £110 per sq ft by getting more involved with the project. Maybe one day I’ll go for a Huf, but not this time as I have all the contacts in place to put a beautiful home together myself.

The legal side of things has dragged on a little so we’re waiting for that to get sorted out. Once I have legal completion I’ll update you properly with photo’s of the plot, cuts from my diary and much more
