Britain's biggest buy-to-let property investment company, which enticed prospective buy-to-let entrepreneurs on to £2,500-plus courses, has suspended all seminars when its current run draw to an end.

The company built a business model on claiming buy-to-let investors could make large profits with its expertise and deals with developers on mainly new-build one and two bedroom city centre flats.

Not before time, I have always been amazed at the people who get suckered into this, ironically I was at the property show, and Inside Track were more low profile than usual and I heard a number of people going to the stand and having a moan. They obviously arent as clever as they pretend to be, they would have educated people on how to prepare for lean times. I would love to see them and cloned compaanies fall on their arses, and let common sense return to the market!

I've never actually been to a seminar, but I struggle to understand what they can actually teach the average person.

I get the impression the seminars are all about pushing people onto their affiliate partners, so the organisers get a cut from the commission.

I dont really know if they were ever popular or not , seeing that ive never been to one or known anyone that idiotic.

But the ones with someone property relatedly famous seem to attract ALOT of people and ofcourse the 'Buy off plan abroad' ones.

Even worse than this are the 'property investment clubs ' they are mental . Just to join you have to pay upto £10,000 sometimes and alot are fake .
But theres alot of people that arent willing to do there own research and want it all in the space of the week , so they can basically start building there portfolio.
So I dont really feel for these people wasting there money .

Yeah, I think it boils down to convenience. Some people just don't want to go out hunting for the information.

This was back in the early 70s, only half of the UK population owned property. However, it is recognized that real estate investment to stabilize a long period of time, and other types of investment tend to lag behind economic growth or fluctuations.
