great prediction. it will be interesting how Bob Geldof connects with the audience at this event and what insight he will bring. We all know how powerful he can be in inspiring others to act!

Meanwhile agree re: JV's – we are just doing our first – hopefully!

Much is written/presented to help investors get JV partners would also be good to have a little more on the mirror perspective from the JV investors POV

Hoping you are correct re: motivated sellers as we want to increase our personal holding in 2012.

Thanks again

Joint Ventures is definitely the way to go in 2012. Much easier to do deals in this way rather ten relying on the banks.

Craig, thanks for your comment

Yes, Mark and I sit on both sides of the fence, check out the JV Blueprint we created so you can see what the JV partner wants

i recomend the "Multi let without the sweat! course this is the way forward guys!

This year will become even easier as vendors cashflow issues continue and run their savings dry. Try to focus on the less obvious lenders and use private finance.

This year will get even better for deals due to vendors worrying about interest rates rising. i think that rates will go up a small amount (0.25/0.5%) and this will cause mass panic in the market leading to bigger discounts and more people wanting to sell.

That is a great point there Alex!
I think that is one of the biggest questions for 2012, when will interest rates begin to rise. Personally I hope they rise as soon as possible since I feel a right wally after switching my mortgages from trackers to fixed in early 2011.
But with the increased Government borrowing from Quantitative Easing, can the Government afford an increase in interest rates?

I dont think the government can 'afford' to do much! but they also need to be seen to be doing something! so thats why i think they will do a small amount but not that much.

Ben,

We all got stick with a few of those, but surely you must have had a few that went down too?

We had amortgage for best part of 2 years taht was 9 pence per month

Rob,

I thought we were doing great when we had one at £6.38p but 9p beats us hands down. Unfortunately it came to the end of the introductory rate and went up to £175, but every little helps. I read somewhere that when they charged a few pence it was because they had to charge something, they simply could not charge "nothing".

Best regards John

this is all very encouraging, to a slow learner like me. it seems that the more the press bleat about how bad things are going to get, the more opportunaties there are for us "contrarian investors. it's shaping up to be a very profitable year as far as I can see!

Steve, you are by no means a slow learner!
