During the first six weeks of 2010 I have spoken in front of 620+ property investors. On Wednesday 17th February I am going to be speaking again – this time at the Harlow Property Meet, run by Gary Shaw.
I am going to be covering three topics; The Edge - whether it is a Slight Edge, an Entrepreneurial Edge or just the Edge of success, our thoughts and actions determine our success – how I have achieved my goals in just 18 months;
Cashflow is king – I will demonstrate my thinking around my investment strategy and why I chose the strategy that I did. So many people want to understand how to get started and understand cashflow is critical.
Lastly The Tenant is your asset, understanding where value lies in your portfolio or business is critical. I have been listening to Robert Kiyosaki and His new book the Conspiracy of the Rich. With current news like the bail of Greece hot on the tails of the fall of Dubai – we are living in unprecedented times. Understanding the implications of the economy on your businesses is vital to success.
I look forward to seeing you there – please check out this link to find details of the location and map
Look forward to seeing you all – Vicki – The Property Mermaid :)
Last Monday I spoke at the Berkshire Property Meet for the first of two appearances, I was honoured to share the stage with the Dr Rohan Weerasinghe and of course the great hosts Juswant and Sylvia Rai. I talked about my experiences as a new property investor over the last eighteen months. How I had set my goals, educated myself, been determined and adaptable over that time. I listened to lots of experienced investors including Rohan, Rob Moore, Phil Martin, Simon Zutshi, Mark Dalton, Sean Thomson and many others.
In January of last year I asked Vanish Patel a question from the audience and received invaluable feedback and information, armed with that I approached a number of banks and secured myself a personal commercial arrangement. This enabled me to buy property essentially for no money down – well that’s not exactly true …. I bought them for cash and then quickly remortgaged them to full market value enabling the release of the equity. The bank knew this and was happy, a legal NMD system.
On Monday evening, I spend two hours answering questions from people in the audience at the BPM, about how I did that. They were focused on the detail and with due respect I feel missed the wider point. I asked questions, I ACTED on the information I received. One lady contacted me through Facebook and below is the subsequent conversation (with Sukhy’s permission) that I hope may help others……
I know I always say that …. maybe that’s because each week is brilliant …. filled with opportunities to learn, meet people, buy houses, help clients, scuba dive with dolphins or ‘get burgled!’ … at least every week is different Well here we are end of the third week of a new decade and already I am published in a new ebook called 378 Predictions how to do business in 2010, I am in the process of creating my own new Ebook, and I have had the privilege to speak at the Berkshire Property Meet along side Dr Rohan Weerasinghe To hear some of my story please follow this link or watch the video below

This may seem like a strange thing to blog about on a PropertyMermaid blog – but I feel really strongly …. I have never bothered with “X Factor- Strictly Come” waste of time telly, what I discovered this year is a couple of things – one I work really hard and sometimes brain numbing TV is a great way to change the pace of the day, to relax and my family really enjoy it, it is something we can share together. Second – even better – is Sky+ which means we can skip through to the singing and comments and watch the whole program in under an hour ….
