I purchased the VIP training with email and phone support and it is such great value for money! The training was excellent and broken down into topics so it was very easy to follow and you can complete it in your own time. I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of the information and also the resources provided - everything you could need including key contacts and recommendations, profit & loss spreadsheets and various other very useful documents to assist in your property journey. Rob replies to emails quickly and has provided me with a lot of very useful advice and guidance over the phone too. I don't know what I would have done without this training and mentoring support from Rob to be honest! 100% worth every penny.

The training is very informative and very thorough. It is well presented and Rob has many years of experience and easy to follow. The training covers everything you need to know, but, you never stop learning from the day you start. Good luck everyone who starts in the future and everyone who started in the past. I hope this helps.

I just want to say that the online course provided Property Investments UK was very easy to follow, a easy step by step guide to how to take your business to the next level. The set out of the course was second to none and it will be always useful as a reference guide for future stratagies. I would highly recommend the online training they provide if you just need that little bit of help in pushing your business that little further. There is also lots of support and the response times have been great. Many Thanks, Carl.
