Birmingham March 2019 Meeting 

From HMO's to SA's and back - Christine Hertoghe

Christine Hertoghe was nominated one of the 5 best performers of Simon Zutshi's Property Mastermind 4 Programme in 2009. She believes strongly that educating yourself is key to reducing costly mistakes AND to getting more tools in your acquisition box. She has been a landlord for 20+ yrs and has been more actively investing herself since 2007 in order to build her property portfolio. She has been Host of the 'Savvy' Cambridge pin meeting for the last 5 years and a course junkie for much longer!

At the month's pin meeting, Christine will share with you her experience of running first HMOs for the last 10 years and then her latest venture into SAs. With this brand new presentation, she hopes to inspire you to take more action and teach you that persistence pays after all; doesn’t the saying go like this: ‘don’t wait to buy property, buy property and wait.’

ALSO....Our journey into the world of Commercial Conversions.  If we can do it, so can you - Chris Hamilton & Aska Buzowicz

Our experience is that commercial conversions are often misunderstood. It is a common understanding that only ‘the big boys’ can play in this gladiatorial arena. 
In this talk, we shall share our journey which demonstrate that that we are doing can be achieved by anyone else who really wants to be part of this so called specialised market.

In this talk we discuss;

• What is a commercial conversion
• Where/how to source these buildings
• Some examples of our projects
• How to evaluate the commercial aspects
• Funding the deals
• The up’s and the downs
