Cambridge September 2018 Meeting 

The best kept secret in property - Peter Rowan

Purchase Lease Options (PLO) is one of the most powerful strategies available to property investors.   Many people have heard of them but very few are using them.  They have the dual advantage of being able to generate cashflow and build up equity.

In this content rich talk, you will learn the following:

• How to present to estate and letting agents to ensure that they bring the PLO deals to you and why you MUST include the one key power sentence  in every presentation
• How to sign up PLO’s south of Birmingham.  There is a myth that PLO’s only work “up North” where the property is close to or in negative equity.  Nonsense!
• How to create a genuine “win win” with the property owner and exactly what to say to gently educate them in the benefits of PLO’s
• Why “Rent to Own” will offer the perfect solution to many Landlords. How to pitch it as a problem solver!
• How to use PLO’s as the perfect pension plan!
• How to generate an income as a PLO trader
• How to own the perfect holiday property overseas using PLO’s

ALSO.... Housing and health legal update - Richard Lord
