Belfast November 2018 Meeting 

A landlords Tale - Fraser MacDonald

In 1997 Fraser Macdonald purchased his first investment property in Manchester. He had spent years agonising about the area, pitfalls and finally took the plunge and became a landlord. It worked out well and Fraser continued to buy property in Manchester and built up his portfolio. At the time he was working for Tesco and friends and family started to ask for his help so he also started to buy property for them. In 2004 Fraser decided to escape the rat race and become a full time property sourcing agent. Since then Fraser has sourced 400 houses for clients offering his ‘Armchair Investment Service’. In 2007 everything changed with the WorldWide recession and property crash. Investors stopped buying and Fraser had to use new strategies to continue to buy property and earn income. Since 2007 Fraser has been involved in joint ventures, property options, lettings, networking and more.

In Fraser’s talk he will share with you the journey of the last 15 years and describe to you what worked well, what didn’t and hints & tips on what opportunities he thinks there are for landlords in the current market and in the future.
