Other clubsWe are now working in cooperation with some other clubs and each being able to use each others services. This means that both our members and theirs get a wider range of services and as we all operate on a similar structure of commissioning service providers, its not that difficult to organize. You don't in practice get quite al that the members of other clubs do, for example. The Self Build Homes Club issues its members with trade cards complete with digitalized photo and signature. As they go to all suppliers in an area to try to get full trade discounts for their members this is a major benefit, but it is also in effect the clubs membership card. Different clubs will also have different specialties particularly for members who want to volunteer to help out to become involved in, we are into area studies, working out what property is like in an area, what it rents for, what the supply and demand situations like and prices of property for buy to let, as well as rents being got. The Sef Build Homes club is going to be putting a lot more interest into identifying plots, working out how sites can be split up in different ways to allow them more scope and looking at costs of different build methods. So lets look at where each club is looking to specialize in. Property Pension Club (us) our main interest is capital growth, and income. mostly for funding pensions, but also for increasing wealth. The rental market is important to us, buy to let, build to let, and overseas property deals. Probably few will sell the properties, but use them to gear up to get more and later to get rentals. Overseas property where it shows exceptional growth potential. Self Build Homes Club self build, build to let, building holiday homes. Getting better homes, becoming mortgage free, an income from developing and improved life style. Many of their members will live in the homes that are built at least for a while so that the income is all completely tax free. Somme will just self build a single home, other a series, but most will tend to sell homes after they have the next built. Holiday properties are more likely to be for their own use, but possibly retiring to. Holiday Property Club more to do with having access to property for your own holidays rather than having a financial motive to invest in it. Share ownership, but not time share, and renting out some times to cover cost. member exchanges and the like. Property Club International - not yet operative in the UK but will be soon, this is far more of a matching, joint venture and business based club, but covers the whole range of property world wide. Is going to rapidly grow by franchise arrangements. Switching between clubs As from June 2005 members will be able at any time to switch their membership between these, to match your changing interests, so someone could now feel property prices are not so sure to rise, so the Self Build Homes Club is clearly the best bet, and start with a self build that you might switch to a 'build to let' if you want later. Then say you want you get some overseas property to form a part of your pension arrangements and you switch to us, later making a bit more you want to become involved in some larger joint ventures and switch to Property Club International. If you have become lost in this, or are undecided, then we suggest at the moment the best club for you to look at joining would be self Build Property Club, you get more help at a lower price, and loads of help in defining what it is you want to build, and if turned out that another club would have been better they can transfer you to it. One of the reasons why we are recruiting new member in spurts at the moment, is that e are allowing capacity for the Self Build Homes Club to grow rapidly this coming year. There club benefits the most from larger numbers of members, while with us it is not that important, the priority to us is in servicing well the members we do have. Of course its also giving up the chance to completely review our services, tariffs and set up more free services, that we could not run before without any regular income. |
