Maximise your property's potential...and profit!

Welcome to this edition of your PRO newsletter. I'm delighted to announce the launch of a brand new publication to our range - Property Management Secrets - 92 ways to manage property for maximum profit!

We introduced this new book exclusively to the Homebuyer Show last weekend and it went down a storm, I'm pleased to say. Now you can get your hands on it via the Property Secrets website. Click here to buy it now or read on to find out more about it.

There's a lot more to talk about this week - we've been very busy putting together new deals, events and, of course, articles and reports. I'm just going to get right into it!

This Week's Articles

The Lewis Report
By Neil Lewis, CEO & Founder
Exclusive to Property Secrets PRO members

Can't decide which market is for you? Here's how to choose...

"It's the number one question that I and Property Secrets investment brokers are asked these days - which country should I invest in?"
Click here to read more...

Ever considered Oman as an opportunity? It's a new one for me, I have to say, but new residency rights might open up rich property investment potential. To find out if that's the case, we sent Paul Harris to check out the facts. Read his report here.

And if Oman doesn't interest you, what about Turkey? A little closer to home and they have recently introduced some new mortgage laws that could be set to turbo charge the Turkish property market. Sue Kelbrick reports on what this might mean for the country and you as a potential investor.

Tony Booth returns to the subject that just won't go away this week, warning that the Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme could spell the end for a number of letting agents and that it might be time you started looking at your agent. Is it time to switch? And how does one go about checking whether their agent is geared up for TDP? Read the full article to find out!

Finally, did you know that tenanted properties will soon be required to have Energy Efficiency Certificates? No? Tony covers the basics on this new bit of red tape for buy to let landlords as well. Equip yourself with all the facts by clicking here.

Tony Booth continues to contribute articles just like these and is, of course, manning the Landlords' Clinic. Tony is keen to receive your landlord-related questions and for you to share your own experiences managing property. If you've got anything to say, drop Tony an email at landlordsclinic@propertysecrets.net

On The Forums

Exclusive to PRO members, the Property Secrets Discussion Forums are a great place to chat with like-minded investors and get advice and opinion on property issues, including where to buy, what to buy, taxation, finance and property management.

Our articles, both old and new, have received quite a bit of attention on the forum this week. Why not take a look at the following and add your own comments? I've had a few things to say myself...

  • Oman Opportunity?

    • This article I found intriguing, but the subject of democracy is what makes the difference for me. What do you think?

  • From no-go to opportunity

    • Bulgaria - again! - and interest continues. Richard Davies has a few things to add to this discussion.

  • Lodz - social & cultural life

    • A few months after our deal in Lodz, this topic has come about again - this time regarding the rental market. Anyone got any thoughts or experiences?

  • Simon Says... Investing in central and Eastern Europe - have you missed the boat?

    • This is a very revealing and important article so it makes sense that it is still getting comments on the forums. Have a read of the article, check out the comments and make a few of your own. We're interested to know your thoughts.

Property Secrets has returned to Prague in the Czech Republic to take advantage of the second phase market growth that is just beginning, and The Old Brewery is the best value opportunity available right now in the business and cultural capital of Central and Eastern Europe.

We have reserved 23 units, exclusively for Property Secrets clients, in this 129 unit development located in the heart of the new business district of Prague, just a few minutes walk from the high end luxury Prague Marina on the Vltava River water front. This area is within easy reach of the city centre and a wide range of local amenities, making it a key growth area of the city.

With average prices lower by 30% than other developments of similar quality in the neighbourhood, this is an opportunity which will be hard to replicate in Prague.

Website News

We've made some fundamental changes to the sales process on the Property Secrets website over the last couple of weeks, streamlining the process and making it far easier to understand what you are buying, what it costs and, more importantly, where you save money!

What this basically means is a much quicker, smoother experience for you when you buy any of our publications or other products. Even renewing your membership when it expires is easier! Go and buy Property Management Secrets, for example, and you'll see what I mean!

In response to a huge number of requests we have also added a couple of Guides. Our Poland Mortgage Guide contains all you need to know about the Polish finance market, while our Czech Investment Options report explains the differences between using a company or an EU Card for purchasing property in the Czech Republic. We have also produced an introduction on how to analyse markets, now officially titled How To Analyse Markets Like A Pro! This shows you the way we judge a market and provides you with some tools to do the same. I'm sure you'll find all of these extremely useful.

Event News

The Homebuyer Show and the related Property Secrets Investor Evening last weekend were a great success. Though I couldn't make it myself, I've spoken to all the Property Secrets people who manned the stand and helped manage the Evening and all have told me that it was great to see so many of you at both events.

As I mentioned earlier, we launched our new publication Property Management Secrets, we introduced new investment opportunities and we spent a good deal of time listening to our existing members. A great weekend enjoyed by all that attended I hope!

Our Investor Evenings continue, and we will be announcing details of the next one very soon. Thanks again to everyone who showed up this time round.

That's all for this week. Happy investing!

Cheers
