January '10 Issue

At the beginning of a New Year where growth in the housing market is still tentative, predicting the year ahead requires psychic abilities. We do the next best thing and talk to experts on what they think will happen in 2010.

Our new Commercial 101 series takes you through a journey of commercial property investing and the potential rewards it offers. The first instalment looks at the basics – the skills and knowledge you need to get started.

Now is the perfect time to clarify the vision you have for your property investing and set goals on how to get there; and we have the perfect steps to help in our Goals and Vision feature.

Jane Eyles-Bennett looks into the three main aspects to consider when deciding the best places to add value to your property.

Our profile this month Pat Baker likes a twist. Having started out investing alongside her late husband, both with separate portfolios, she now runs both and is far from slowing down.

Plus Michael Yardney re-caps the five biggest lessons investors can take out of a tumultuous 2009 and how they will help in the years ahead.
