Property Investment Coach Rick Otton
I want people to know they have other options. There are lease options, buy to let mortgages, all sorts of ways to get into property without having to jump through the traditional hoops of deposit, house purchase loan and loads of investment experience
(PRWEB) September 05, 2013
In an article released last 28 August 2013, the Council of Mortgage Lenders shares new information on the same old story. Rick Otton, property mastermind, says that the data shows shows the number of first-time buyers in London in the second quarter of this year is at its highest level since 2007, with the rise coming alongside a rise in the typical loan amount.
“This trend has been happening across the country for a little while, and this isn’t the first time I’ve talked about what it means for first-time buyers and their ability to achieve financial freedom. This data doesn’t tell me that the housing market is improving. It tells me that more and more people are so desperate to get into property that they’ll sign up to bigger and bigger mortgages,” said Mr Otton.
The recent data shows the majority of house purchase loans in London are taken out by first-time buyers, with 56% of all loans going to this part of the market. It’s no small change, either, with the average loan sitting at £192,600 for the quarter. First-time buyers in London are borrowing more than 3.5 times their income as well as putting down larger deposits compared to the rest of the UK.
“I can understand why people think this is the only way to get their property portfolio started, but it’s not an easy path to long term wealth. This is a property investment strategy that shows you how to buy a house for £192,600 plus a 25% deposit plus bank interest over 25 years. Or there are non-traditional strategies like mine, which show you how to buy a house for a pound. The difference is pretty clear,” Mr Otton said.
Non-traditional strategies
Mr Otton, who makes his living as a property investment mentor, says that his passion is teaching people different strategies to get them off the slog of the ‘property ladder’ and into progressive property investment.
“I want people to know they have other options. There are lease options, buy to let mortgages, all sorts of ways to get into property without having to jump through the traditional hoops of deposit, house purchase loan and loads of investment experience,” said Mr Otton.
Mr Otton will be holding a 2014 UK Zero-Debt Property Cashflow Conference in the UK. For more details or to download the free Power Property Profits Pack, visit http://www.RickOtton.co.uk or phone 0207 000 1027 (UK).
