A warm welcome from your host Rick Walton and hope you enjoy this

PEN Kent was started in January 2011 and was set-up by
Kent-based property investor Rick Walton in order to
bring like-minded investors and budding entrepreneurs
together to share ideas, contacts, best practices and
also to provide a resource to help you through the
tough times when things aren’t going as well as they
could but to also celebrate your successes. Rick has
been investing in the Kent area for just over 6 years
now and in that time has travelled from complete novice to successfully
running a multi-million pound portfolio. Having also worked as a consultant
for Rich Dad Education, a leading international property & wealth training
company during the last 4 years, Rick’s passion for helping and inspiring
others to create their own financial future has also grown in this time …
hence the growth of PEN Kent !

Tonight’s Speaker . . .
21st February – Paul Ribbons
“A Mistake Worth Millions”
17th January – Gill Alton
“Maidenhead MUMpreneur”
The next PEN Kent Meeting on welcomes Paul Ribbons as our main speaker.
Gill Alton was first introduced to the ‘world of
property investing’ by her husband in 1996, as he
built a small portfolio of properties during the
previous housing crash. As a couple they added to
these a few years later, but didn’t follow the same
due diligence and admit they were guilty of making
several property investing mistakes.
Paul is one of the country’s leading auction experts & has sold literally hundreds of
properties in the last 15 years through auctions – a wealth of knowledge & experience
that our guests will be keen to learn from & question.
The Worst Landlord in the World
Rather than a buy-and-hold investor, Paul is very forthright about his strengths and the
strategies that he personally uses in the world of property. He freely admits “I would
be the worst landlord in the world as I have no patience. I don’t want to babysit
tenants or to be at their beck and call.” He continues “My philosophy is simple: buy
something at below market value and sell it straight away! I take the money and run –
I want massive income not passive income!”
Sharing Strategies
Paul is delighted to be able to share his own background and insights with over 25
years in the property world, when he comes to the next meet.
From finding and buying houses off the open market that need modernisation, through
to selling them on at auction for a profit, Paul will be sharing the techniques and
strategies that he’s used for many years to make a success of his lengthy career in
property. Paul confesses to coming across his particular techniques by complete
accident, and he triumphs the belief that succeeding in property is not down to any
factors of skill or intelligence. He strongly believes that anyone can do it, if they’re
simply aware of what simple steps to follow. Paul’s strategy is still as relevant today as
it was 15 years ago, and probably more relevant with a large amount of investors
looking for a safer haven for their money than the banks.
And if that shared knowledge wasn’t enough…
Paul has also agreed to share how a near fatal financial mistake turned into a multimillion pound strategy, and also how you can buy something at asking price and still
make a profit!

She gave up a senior corporate career to join her husband in their family
business, Alton Mortgages Ltd, to only weeks later have their world fall apart
with the Credit Crunch. This had a massive financial impact on their family but
also made them understand just how powerful passive income can be when
times are tough. This experience changed their whole attitude and focus to
investing.
Gill is going to share her story with us and how she has used that experience to
go on to build stronger financial foundations for her family, taking her total
family portfolio to 17 houses, with an asset value of over £1.6m and a monthly
net income of around £4k.
She lives in Maidenhead, but chooses to invest in Nottingham, so will share her
reasons behind this and how she has gone on to launch two property businesses
– Alton Property Partners and Venus Property Mentoring, all while juggling
family life with two young children.
As this is our 2012 kick off meeting, it seems appropriate to ask Gill to also give a
high level overview of how she is approaching 2012 to make it another highly
successful investing year. So get your pens and pads ready as there may well be
some hints and tips you would like to take down.
