UK market - connections

[Ben Hart]

Hi all,

I'm a new investor. I'd love to chat with folks from the UK (Eng) market. I know this is mostly US-focussed, so you can be hard to find!

Here's a throw in the dark to see if anyone is open to connecting. Can give value in various other business areas (currently work in the investment world in Silicon Valley).

Ben, I'm a US investor who is now located in the UK and looking to invest locally. Let's chat. What's your interest in the UK market? Feel free to PM me.

Hi both, I'm targeting an October Zoom to focus on the UK market, let me know if you are interested (I'll email you as well so you see it).

I'll invite someone I just met electronically from my business school who posted in an alumni group: "I've used the same broker a handful of times now for buy-to-let & residential purchases and remortgages. I've just completed on my new purchase, and the market is very challenging right now so I would recommend the following adviser who can steer you in the right direction"

Interesting tip from someone who has done investing in London

I'm UK based and currently getting my first two AirBNB rental properties ready for market. 

Keen to connect with others also.

@Tom Cvijanovic, that's great news. A few of us had a UK - focussed zoom recently but the consensus was that people wanted to watch and wait. My first priority right now is to secure good financing for something I'm looking at in the USA, so I'm also not rushing into more action in the UK yet. However I'm happy to connect you with someone who's interested in doing more here in the short term. I'll PM you

[Tom Cvijanovic]

Sounds good @Jennifer S. and thanks for the message. 

[Jennifer S.]

@Tom Cvijanovic, actually I realised that @Ben Hart who started this thread, is who I wanted to connect you with. Apologies-I didn't scroll up to see his name. I'm following a few of these threads so didn't notice that. Well in any case hope you two can connect 

[Ben Hart]

Awesome! Great to connect @Tom Cvijanovic. What's the best email to reach you on? I'll add you to the email thread with @Jennifer S. and @Micki M. & hopefully we can get a team Zoom in over the next couple of weeks.

How's the market there now?

I specialize in the UK market. Happy to discuss this with anyone interested in this market.

Cool. London or outside London?

Quote from @Jennifer S.:

Cool. London or outside London?

 I’m focusing on London, Birmingham and Manchester. Nowadays, the majority of my activity is Birmingham based. But I’m pretty familiar with London.

I tried to add you onto the page "London Property Investors" where there is a small group possibly getting going again. I couldn't seem to tag you so I posted the link here. Happy to combine these efforts

Ok starting to get a bit of motion on a possible Zoom. Looking to target Feb (my school has Feb break a week earlier than most US schools so looking at end of Feb). Seems like I'm hearing a bit more from people in the US with UK properties. Therefore I'm going to tailor towards US time zone. Giving a heads up that I will be setting up a Zoom last week of Feb (e.g. 27th onwards). Looking forward!
