Win In The Property Market With Joint Ventures No. 2

As the old adage goes, "you make money when you buy, not when you sell". Our repossessed property sales newsletter is your source of some of the best investment and development property at forced sale prices you can get.

I mentioned in my last post on this subject that we are introducing a joint venture scheme for subscribers to the "Early Bird" newsletter. The idea is to help you join forces and combine skills or finances with like minded investors and developers.

Some of our lenders will soon be letting us have properties before they are repossessed. The intention is to find joint venture partners who can help to save faltering projects that just need a small injection of cash to complete them or that need some additional expertise. We'll feature these in the newsletter whenever they arise and it will be a simple case of calling me to register your interest.

In addition I've set up a group in Linkedin. This is specifically to enable subscribers to the "Early Bird" newsletter to interact with each other if they wish to search for joint venture partners. With the right JV partner projects currently out of your reach could become possible. Join it here.

Best Regards

Why UK House Prices will soon be on the rise again!

A report released today by the National Housing Federation has put forward the view that the average house price in the UK will rise over the next 5 years by 25%. before you say it, this report was not drafted by council lefties but rather Oxford economists. They predict that house prices will fall by 2.1% in 2009 and then increase by 1.3% in 2010, 5.2% in 2011, 9.2% in 2012 and 9.3% in 2013. The Chief Executive of the federation stated that, "..... despite concerns about the current market downturn, house prices will resume upwards". All markets abide by the rules of supply and demand, so lets look at the basics:

the total number of new homes expected to be completed in 2008 is likely to be 120,000 against a government target of 200,000.

one in every 4 local authority areas has seen its housing list double but the slowdown in newbuilds means that there is less public housing coming on stream.

1.5million people in the UK live in an overcrowded house.

73,360 households are officially homeless.

Mark my words 2008 is going to be remembered as a blip in an otherwise upwards house price trajectory. Therefore, it is of vital importance for First Time Buyers to act now - especially in the areas where it is still possible to get a 3 bedroom property with parking for less than Â£125,000; namely, the North East, the North West, the East Midlands and the West Midlands.

The fundamentals are still in place. It is simply the case that a herd mentality has spread across the country. Don't wait to buy property - buy property then wait! Mark my words!

Why UK House prices will go UP over the next 5 years!

Many uninformed people may feel that the fall in UK house prices will make it easier to get on the housing ladder but in reality it is more difficult now than ever before. The reason is simple: banks do not want to secure their assets against property at the moment and therefore, in a nutshell, do not want to lend mortgages. Today, even if you had a big deposit, perfect credit and no debt you’d still pay more for your mortgage than someone with no deposit whatsoever would’ve done 9 months ago. Now that is absolutely scandalous!
