Very experience

Good experience. Friendly staff.

Easy to use and quick.

Excellent presentation by Carol, really enjoyed it.

Excellent Presentation
And more importantly Excellent value for money

Enthusiastic presentation but lacking in detail and in places quite patronising. There was quite a few property investors there and quite a few with a good idea of the concept of property investment so more detail would have been appropriate.

I attended the 2 Day Property Investing Masterclass at Heathrow for those interested in starting to invest, or already invested in the property market.
The main speaker Jo was knowledgeable and a delight, along with the rest of the supporting team taking care of us over the days. The presentation and information pack was well structured, motivational and gave a good sense of the scope of what investing safely in property market takes. Jo talked about a lot about mindset and the preconceptions around landlording and property investment. It was instructional with examples of how to access finances, how to first evaluate a good purchase and how to approach the myriad of professions/people one would need to involve. Personally I would have been interested to hear more in-depth advice on the practical and financial topics rather than the mindset around investing, but overall educational and motivating for such a short course. Of course there was the expected sales pitch to attend additional courses and joining the investment group toward the end, which shows they believe in their product.

Thanks for your excellent service and prompt response to my required information.

Excellent presentation which gave some valuable information encouraging me to investigate the subject more. Very reasonable cost especially as London based locations are not cheap venues. Looking forward to my 3 day course

Absolutely brilliant,my wife and I now have the knowledge and insight into attaining financial freedom ,3 properties in 9 months and a hmo shortly.Couldnt have done it profitably without the help and support of FF

It is a fantastic company. They genuinely treat you like a member of the family. People are not trying to outdo each other. There is a real sense of support and network within the organisation and across the community of students, partners, mentors and speakers etc. People are not out to get you but genuinely want to see you succeed. The corporate world is slightly different to this so it is a breath of fresh air.

Wow what a weekend, I left the event buzzing and ready to start my property adventure. It was really well run and I really liked the stories from the presenters about the things they had done. Cakes and coffee fuelled me throughout the sessions!! Thank you guys for lighting my spark.

My mother attended a free 2 hour seminar in Milton Keynes in which she was sold the 3 day "property investing course", if she signed up there and then she could get a "free" place for someone else to attend with her, this cost £499, so far so good!
The 3 day event was blatantly constructed with the sole purpose of selling the "advanced core course" at a cost of minimum £21k or an elite package at £35k. (At no point and despite some pretty pointed questions being asked was there reference to courses starting at £895 as claimed by responses on this site)
The first day was built around pseudo psychological nonsense designed to make you believe that you were lucky that fielding financial had come into your life and you would be a wally (their words not mine) if you didnt become educated (via their course offering) this was mixed with super high level information on how to strategically approach selecting geographical areas and market segments for your investment...all delivered in a rushed manner and questions were not allowed in the moment to clarify and consistently peppered with the message that without their education you are a wally, or a Dom and Dora (don't ask).
The course material provided contained some detail but all the data points, headlines displayed and spoke to by the presenter were from 2016 or 2017 and earlier.
The second day: The morning focused on what types of finance are available and a large section on how to leverage 0% credit cards which culminated in everyone being given an exercise to call their credit card provider and request a reduction in the interest rate (this was interesting and valuable information resulting in those with Barclays cards getting 4% reductions) and a huge increase in the available credit limit . People were challenged to think of a number add £20k and then double it?? So most people were asking for circa £40k...the most upsetting part of this process from my perspective was that the few people in the room without credit cards were encouraged by the "coaches" into applying for cards???
The second part of the second day was pure hard sell, literally 3 hours of being spoken at, about the benefits of the course peppered with what I called the "cult of Gill" constant irrelevant personal information about Gill and others with a really high emotional content with the caveat that being a property investor makes these life challenges easier??
The price tag of £499 for what is essentially a 3 day hard sell taken from my mother leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Was there some good information...yes! Did it need 3 days to impart that? No! It could have been done in a morning/afternoon if all the hard sell had been stripped out.
Was it worth £499 and 3 days of our valuable time?
Most definitely not!
