Preston & Fylde

PPN Preston & Fylde is a friendly place for everyone with an interest in property or investing in general. Whether you’re a complete beginner, an experienced investor, a tradesperson, a business angel, broker or something else, PPN Preston & Fylde is for you! 

We have a range of speakers that are experts in different aspects of property such as Rent-To-Rent, Tax, Serviced Accommodation, HMOs, Mortgages, Auctions, Mindset and many more areas. You will hear the experts talk about their field, you ask them questions either to the room or personally. 

Property can be an emotional rollercoaster and by attending PPN Preston & Fylde you’ll be able to network with people that will be able to give you support and advice. 

You never know what networking can do for you, could they be your next business partner, next investor or provide you with the next deal? Don’t stand around pretending the text-message is important, speak to people and you’ll get the most out of your entry fee! Our event sponsors are encouraged to do introductory talks that will be about their business and how they can to help you. 

They are encouraged to offer you some fantastic discounts – who doesn’t love a discount!

Martin

A local lad who grew up in Preston, with a real cheeky northern sense of humour and a larger than life personality, Martin really believes networking should be as enjoyable as it is productive. 

Martin has been involved in property as a private landlord since 2004 when he bought his first single let in Preston. He is incredibly passionate about property, hospitality, business, and investing in general. His portfolio is based across Preston and the Fylde, including Kirkham, Warton and Freckleton. 

It consists of single let’s, luxury HMO’s, Serviced Accommodation and Rent to Own. He also owns 3 Pubs and restaurants across the Preston and Fylde area as well. Keen on personal development Martin is, and has been, mentored by some of the best property investors in the business including best selling author Kevin McDonnell. 

Martin has a real passion for helping people and solving problems, he specialises in creative strategies including; Lease Options, EDC’s and Tenant buyers.

Away from property Martin enjoys football, travelling, reading personal development books, and spending time with his fiancée and two children.

Dave

Coming from a background in IT Dave has over 15 years experience in the IT world, covering business intelligence, web design, databases, spreadsheets and any other aspect of business IT you can imagine, needless to say this makes him an expert at deal analysis, systems and systemising. 

Dave is now the owner of 2 successful serviced accommodation and SA management companies Avarda and Cozypads. 

They have units right across Preston and the Fylde, and even some in Wigan, housing both long term contractor bookings and leisure guests.
