Property Seminars often Poor Value says Letting Focus
We all know that many property seminars are very poor value indeed.
Many people complain to me about some of the lousy ones they have been on (and tell me I should run a good, useful trustworthy all day seminar where people will learn the real facts!)
The typical deal with most of the worst seminars is that people are promised they will become property millionaires overnight without using any of their own money so they can achieve “financial freedom”.
The whole pitch is, of course, designed to appeal to some people’s greed and naivety.
The promises are often delivered by a man in a shiny suit and a great line in patter who promises to reveal all the “secrets of successful property investing” for just £4,000 (or £2,000 if you sign up today, natch!)
All you have to do is hand over your £2K and you will go to a weekend property seminar / boot camp for a weekend and come back wiser and in no time at all, very rich indeed.
Absolute cobblers!
Well someone recently posted me a very fine article about these seminars in the ThisisMoney website.
On a recent post to the article dated 12th September, someone even mentioned me - in a very positive light, I’m pleased to say
I suggest you read the article – and all the posts attached to it very carefully if you are even thinking of going on one of these seminars.
In the meantime I have finally succumbed to pressure and am pleased to announce that on Saturday Nov 29th we will run our own first all day property seminar.
The seminar will build on and extend beyond the teaching in my top selling book about buy to let and will be called “Beyond Successful Property Letting”
It will cost just £495, take place in London (venue to be announced) and will be open to a maximum of just 15 people.
There will be no silly promises - just the detailed facts about buy to let delivered in a sensible and straightforward way that you can really profit from.
I expect it will sell out fast, so if you are interested please send me an email to david@lettingfocus.com as soon as possible
Oh, here is the thisismoney article……Read it and all the posts that people have written on it and do your best to avoid the duff courses that are out there.
