    Hi guys,

    I ve being a long time read so finally decided to join up the forum. I am 31 working in the rollingstock industry and have started my investing journey last year.

    A bit of a property book and seminar lover. I ve read around 15 books within the last year and attended property seminars from a wide range of speakers (Tim Guest, Michael Yardney, Cherie Barber, Todd Polke, ect ect) I ve learnt from reading on the forums that these seminar are good to go but leave the wallet behind therefore so far I have not signed up for any :)

    Thanks for clarifying that ^^^^^ :)

    @WellKnow welcome to PC. You are in the right place to learn about property investing as the collective knowledge is unparalleled IMO.

    Sounds like you are on the right track so keep going.

    Nice puns :)

    Engineers are notorious for having their own language. I can spot it pretty easily and just help decipher when I can. :cool:
