Check Out These Moves!

Hello!

I thought that I would give you insight into the man who takes care of the 'HMO' element of my portfolio. Remember - managing HMO's requires a certain finesse. It is adviseable that only the most skilled individuals are employed to look after these important additions to the portfolio.

You will see from the video below that I take the role very seriously and as such have employed someone who not only is highly competent in the field, but also someone who clearly should be featured on BBC's 'Move Like Michael Jackson'.

Here then, for your viewing pleasure is Mr. David Reay, strutting his stuff at the Freedom Residential Lettings Christmas Party 2009. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas To One And All.

Hi all,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the very best for the coming decade.

Let's See What This Fella Can Do!!!

Hello!

Here I am with a DIY board that I've just knocked up so advertise one of our recent Lease Option acquisitions.

Ok, so it looks crap - but hey! - it's supposed to look that way!

It would have been good if I could have spread the writing out a bit and made it bigger.

Trouble is once you start writing with a permanent marker, you are pretty much committed!

So, hopefully we'll get some response from this little beauty. Now we just need to get some DIY flyers and bandit signs on the go!

Cheers,

H

But Who's Gonna Carve The Turkey??

Hi All,

Just wanted to send my condolences to my business partner Tony, who has suffered an unfortunate injury in the name of Christmas!

Over the weekend was 'decking the halls' so to speak when he decided to erect some outside Christmas Lights.

Unbeknown to him, the safety catches on his ladder were set to the 'unlock' position when he mounted it.

Having reached the last rung from the top, he felt a strange sensation as the ladder decided to move in a southerly direction, taking him with it.

Having dusted himself down, Tony realised something was not quite right, since he had lost all feeling in his arms.

Some time later, following the X-factor final in fact (Olly was robbed!) , Tony decided to drive himself to the hospital and called me on the way (fortunately he has 'handsfree' fitted.)

A few hours later, I got another call from him with an update to his predicament. Turns out he has broken both of his elbows and will be out of action for the next 6 weeks!

My heart goes out to you mate - reminiscent of the time we went on a caravaning holiday and you ended up with a slashed wrist, blood poisoning and a neck-brace! Shouldn't laugh!

I hope you still manage to have a good Christmas mate, and I just want to let you know that Sunderland simply isn't the same without you.

Get well soon mate,

Rgds,

We Buy Many Houses!!!

Hi All!

Thought I would do a quick post seeing as I have a tendency let things slip a bit in this respect!

Here's Tony & I shortly before we introduced out new marketing campaign into Sunderland.

Ok, so we've had a bit of grief from our tenants and then of course the was the general public, but all in all it's been an absolute success!

It's comforting to know that by just whacking a lineage ad out in the local paper and by erecting a few boards that we have a consistent stream of potential deals coming our way. It makes me particularly excited (and I know Tony is too) because who both know that we haven't even really tried to market our new venture! We have some many creative and 'Guerilla' style marketing tactics up our sleeves that there is no doubt in my mind we can turn over at least 10 deals a month! C'mon!

In actual fact, I've not been up north for the last two weeks as it happens. It's been absolutely great spending time with Clare and the boys, even if I have been a little distracted by dealing with the Tax Return!

Since the Go Direct UK 5-day event in London, we've been utilising the methodology we were taught and this has been really successful. I've closed a couple of deals over the phone, and Tony has done a couple while he's been in Sunderland. I will have to make a point of doing an interview with him next time we're together and posting it here, so you can get a feel for what he's been up to.

So, it's back up north next week. I have two appointments booked. One on a 2-bed cottage in Millfield and another with one of my contacts who is looking to sell a large portfolio of mixed residential and commercial. It's the same person I spoke about in one of my previous videos, however, it's clear that there is still a deal to be done. As Rick Otton says 'We're in the deal'!

Anyway, its getting rather late, so I will catch up with you soon.

Rgds,
