Berkshire Property Meet with Amer Siddiq - 20th October 2008

Posted on October 15th, 2008 in events, property prices | No Comments »


Having dealt with Juswant and Sylvia Rai for some months by email, I finally met them last week, at Property Magic Live. It’s nice to put faces to names, as it were.
Juswant and Sylvia run Berkshire Property Meet, at which I hope to be talking in the medium-near future… however, their next meeting, next Monday, features Amer Siddiq (who I rate highly, by the way).

If you run a property networking event, and publish times and places, then let me know, and I’ll add your notes to this blog. What I don’t promote are the so-called networking sites that have a single “enter your email to receive details” pages -)

Here’s what Juswant and Sylvia have to say about their next event:

——————

The Berkshire Property Meet is the UKs leading networking event with 230 investors / professionals and experts meeting last month to hear Jim Halitburton the HMO Daddy. Any you can be there to meet them too. The hosts Juswant & Sylvia Rai are outstanding hosts and they will help you connect with those people that could

October - Leeds Property Networking

Posted on October 13th, 2008 in events, property prices | No Comments »

Another month with a "mixed bag" of banking turmoil, including possibly the largest US Government handout in history ($700Bn) to prop up the mess their lenders caused in the first place, more nervousness with another UK giant (RBS), and the Govenment's £500Bn bailout of our own banking sector. Now, just to put that into context, Whitehall departments only spend around £324Bn annually! The other question being posed is whether £500Bn will be enough to stem the flow of banking collapses? Where will it all end up, and what can you do to weather some of this storm? Well the much-anticipated 0.5% cut in interest rates may help (if you are on a tracker or standard variable product). But, will this be enough to: inject the much-needed confidence back into inter-bank lending, provide more readily available credit, and will lowering of the BoE rate, and (hopefully!) lowering the lending rates, help you and I, the property investor? Only time will provide the answer, and I am sure there is still more turbulence to come. But do not dismay - - you may need to look elsewhere to help with your portfolio and increase its cashflow to weather out the continuing storm of mortgage lending. Will more regulation be put in place...? ...as a taster, at this month's Leeds Property Networking event (Tuesday 14th October) I will be sharing with you some ideas, tips and tricks on how to generate significant cashflow from your existing portfolio. I say a taster as I have persuaded two experts to come all the way to Leeds to share their extensive knowledge and experience. At November's event we will have Alistair Cooper from The Planning Game explaining the new permitted development legislation and how you can use this to your advantage, particularly for cashflow generation. In his previous life, Alistair used to chair the planning committee on St. Albans Council so he knows a thing-or-two about this, plus he has now come over to the "dark side", turning from gamekeeper to poacher, exploiting the planning loopholes and making a nice income from it. Then in December, one of the UK's best-known HMO experts, Jim Haliburton, the HMO Daddy, will be giving us a Christmas Special of his extensive HMO knowledge and experience and showing us how we too can become better equipped with cash-generating properties to see us through the challenging times ahead. Book these dates in your diary now, the second Tuesday of each month! Once again, we will also bring property experts to you, sharing their tips, tricks and techniques to help you through these challenging times. Why not come along to October's event and find out how the experts make the most of the contacts and connections they are making right now. Time: From 18:30; round-table discussion around 20:00 Cover Charge: £5.00 I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 14th October. Best Regards, Mike

Berkshire Property Meet with Amer Siddiq

Posted on September 25th, 2008 in events, property prices | No Comments »

We are still getting over our last Berkshire Property Meet when we were overwhelmed by a turn-out that far exceeded our expectations. Over 230 people came to hear from Jim Haliburton - The HMO Daddy. In October, Amer will be talking at the Berkshire Property Meet about how you, as a Property Manager, can overcome the many challenges that face you as your portfolio grows: * Getting better organised: cutting the time spent handling paperwork * Staying legal: Keeping track of safety certificates and legal documents * Tenant management: Making sure tenants get the information they need * Income tax management: Knowing what is due and when * Maintaining and growing a positive cash-flow The evening will include the usual opportunities to network with the property industry professionals and experts - the place where the experts meet the experts. Who is Amer?

Property Portfolio Software was founded by experienced investor, author and public speaker Amer Siddiq, owner of Tax Portal Ltd. and creator of the Property Tax Portal website. Amer began investing in property in 1999 and when Amer began to grow his own portfolio, he naturally looked around for a software solution to help him with the laborious task of property management. He quickly realised that there was nothing suitable available and so designed his own tool based on his personal experiences and needs.
