Did I do something wrong?

[MikeEarner]

I posted in the "Money and Property" a thread about a free course on property investment, and it got deleted. What did I do wrong?

send a PM to one of the moderators for clarification.
maybe you posted a link to a commercial site.

as a general rule, newbies who join and immediately post about courses and systems tend to be treated as spammers, if they havent joined in on other threads.

Hmm, well I posted a link to another site, but the site is not selling anything, except offering the free course. It's a real course. You signup and you get invited to an event.

How can I contact the moderators?

Thanks trendie, like the new avatar btw

MikeEarner, I have found your post and It was deleted as an advert, the two hour free course most likely deemed as a hook to the further course which most likely isn't free.

barjon deleted your post and I back his decision.

You are not allowed to post such advertisements on the boards, please read the site guidelines and not post any further links of this nature please.

Another site may be more appropriate for your ad.

Would anyone really be interested in a property seminar under the present climate?

 

[MikeEarner]

Ok, I noticed it was against site guidelines. Thanks for explaining.

I believe so... UK house price crash is unstoppable, data shows prices have plummeted for an 11th consecutive month, dropping by 1.7% in September.

no harm in preparing yourself with knowledge. (but not to act on it)
the housing market should at some point reach its low, and then level out, and start going higher.
this is the point when people are at their most pessimistic, and when snapping up bargains from foreclosures are a good long term bet.

so I, with no expertise whatsoever, reckon that learning in advance the mechanisms of sourcing cheap houses is a good strategy.

As I understand property, it is an investment that you only benefit from is if it is rising. As you say yourself that prices have plummeted for 11 consecutive months, judging from the present climate it appears that it will be years before the trend changes.
So how would one benefit from a falling market?
Please don't say attend the seminar.

Trendie, You must have been posting at the same time as me

There's no real market at the moment due to lack of liquidity. So it's very difficult to assess "real" prices though there are plenty of opinions. Time will tell.
