Rick Otton explaining his real estate investment strategies
People don’t realise that they can get into the property market with a one-pound transaction, even without a city council program. It always surprises me that the concept makes such big news – as if it is really something new.
(PRWEB) November 13, 2013
UK Property authority Rick Otton today commented on the rise of schemes that allow people to buy a house for a pound. There have been a number of these ventures recently in the UK, driven by city councils or housing charities, that sell derelict properties for £1 to people on lower incomes, who then commit to renovating and living in the properties.
“I think it’s great that organisations are taking the initiative to help people who are struggling to get into home ownership, and at the same time rehabilitating neighbourhoods,” said Mr Otton. “But at the same time it's a shame that so many more people don’t realise that they can get into the property market with a one-pound transaction, even without a city council program. It always surprises me that the concept makes such big news – as if it is really something new.”
Unmet Demand for Information on Bargain Properties
Mr Otton has been teaching ordinary people in the UK and overseas how to buy a house for a pound for the past decade using non-traditional property investment strategies. As a professional property investor, he focusses on ways to set up property deals that solve people’s property problems, creating a win-win situation for the seller and the buyer.
“There is obviously a huge unmet demand out there for this sort of information. The Liverpool City Council scheme had over 1,000 applicants for 20 houses, and another in Stoke-on-Trent had some 600 expressions of interest for 35 houses. People are fed up with the high prices and the difficulty of buying property the traditional way, and are looking for innovative approaches,” Mr Otton said.
Sharing His Innovative Strategies
As well as managing his property portfolio, the property authority travels the world spreading his message about the new paradigm of real estate investment, one that doesn’t involve crushing bank loans or unattainable deposits. As part of his mission to help ordinary people buy homes, he will hold a three-day property investment conference in March 2014. Earlybird tickets are available until 6 January at rickotton.co.uk.
“I invite anyone interested in buying a house for a pound to come along to my UK property seminar to find out how to do it with any property, not just one that’s derelict and needs to be fixed up,” declared Mr Otton.
“In the meantime I encourage all aspiring property investors in the UK to download the free resources on my website.”
For a limited time, Mr Otton has made available, at no charge, his Power Property Profits Pack, downloadable now at http://www.rickotton.co.uk.
