Telecom Plus Utility Warehouse Share Price 7th March, 2015 - SELL RECOMMENDATION

Telecom Plus - TEP.L is fairly valued compared to its Price of 1,036.00p per share, has about average safety, and is currently rated a Sell

Business: Telecom Plus PLC, together with its subsidiaries, provides utility services to residential and small business customers in the United Kingdom. The company offers fixed telephony, mobile telephony, gas, electricity, and Internet services.

Capital Appreciation
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. TEP.L has a current Value of 1,100.47p per share. Therefore, it is fairly valued compared to its Price of 1,036.00p per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. TEP.L has an RV of 1.20, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.

RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. TEP.L has an RS rating of 0.92, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.

RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. TEP.L has a Relative Timing rating of 0.83, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00.  RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.

VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. TEP.L has a VST rating of 0.98, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.

Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. TEP.L has a Sell recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.

Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position.  TEP.L has a Stop of 1,057.13p per share. This is 21.13 abovep TEP.L's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.

GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. TEP.L has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 17.00%, which VectorVest considers to be very good. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, as shown weekly in our investment climate report.

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. TEP.L has a forecasted EPS of £0.59 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. TEP.L has a P/E of 17.51. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 23.81. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.

EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. TEP.L has an EY of 5.71 percent. This is above the current average of 4.20% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. TEP.L has a GPE rating of 0.98. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 3.59%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.13. Therefore, TEP.L may be considered to be fairly valued.

Dividend Information
DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. 

TEP.L pays an annual dividend of 38.00p per share.

DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects dividend per share as a percent of Price. TEP.L has a Dividend Yield of 3.67 %. This is above the current average of 1.9% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.

DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. TEP.L has a Dividend Safety of 48 which is poor on a scale of 0 to 99. Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate):  Dividend Growth is a forecasted annual growth rate of a company's dividend based on historical dividend payments and dividend predictability. It is a subtle yet important indicator of a company’s financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board’s outlook on the company’s ability to increase earnings. TEP.L has a Dividend Growth of 15% This is above the current average of 1.9% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database.

YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DY, DS and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. TEP.L has a YSG rating of 1.1 which is good. Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for about current income and long-term growth.

Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over the last 12 months. TEP.L has a Sales Growth of 9.00% per year. This is good. Sales Growth is updated each week for every stock.

Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): TEP.L has a P/S of 1.22. This ratio is also used as a measure of valuation. Here, too, it is useful when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.

Market Capitalization: TEP.L has a Market Capitalization of 830,000,000. Market Capitalization is calculated by multiplying price times shares outstanding.

Taylor Wimpey and ITV set for profits boost...

Home-building group Taylor Wimpey will reveal the impact which the housing market recovery is having on its performance this week, while ITV will also update investors. 
Taylor Wimpey to reveal annual results 
Analysts in the City hope to see a sizeable jump in the profits of Taylor Wimpey. 
With the firm due to report its results on Tuesday, it is thought in some quarters that pre-tax profits could be 68% higher, at £451 million. 
The company is building more homes at higher values, as a result of the improving property market. 
It recently reported that it completed construction work on 6% more homes last year, compared to the situation back in 2013. 
Its average selling price was 12% higher, reaching a level of £213,000. 
The UK housing market performed particularly well during the early stages of 2014, with the state-backed Help to Buy scheme boosting activity. 
The pace of growth eased towards the latter stages of the year, as measures such as the Mortgage Market Review were introduced to prevent the emergence of a new housing bubble.
But the Chancellor offered a further stimulus by reforming the Stamp Duty system as part of his Autumn Statement package in December.
According to Taylor Wimpey, this move should “help more home-buyers to get on to and move up the property ladder”.
The group has also announced that its order book encompasses 6,601 homes.
It said that this is the “optimum size” which it can achieve at this stage in the business cycle.
A £250 million dividend for shareholders is expected this year, along with a £50 million special dividend. 
While the company came close to collapse during the economic downturn, it has since recovered, with low borrowing costs, Government support schemes, and improving economic conditions all playing their part. 
ITV enjoys advertising boost 
Broadcasting giant ITV is widely expected to post stronger annual profits and advertising revenues this week. 
Despite seeing its audience numbers slip, a relatively upbeat trading update is anticipated from the group this Wednesday. 
A 17% improvement in adjusted pre-tax profits, to £682 million, is now widely expected in the City. 
Downton Abbey and The X Factor are among the broadcaster’s flagship programmes at present. 
Over the 10 months to the end of October 2014, the group said its channels saw a 5% dip in their share of viewing, to 21.8%. 
The viewing share for the main ITV channel was 4% lower during the period - to 15.4%. 
The football World Cup in Brazil during the summer was among the factors which drove net advertising revenues up by 6% during the first nine months of this year, however. 
Over the full year, it is expected that advertising revenues will go up by 5%. 
Looking ahead to the coming year, analysts have suggested that it will be much harder to forecast advertising revenues, in light of the Rugby World Cup, and the general election in May. 
ITV has invested more money in original content in recent times, in order to reduce its exposure to the advertising market. 
For instance, it has purchased production firms behind programmes like the Graham Norton Show. 
By investing in this area, ITV can then sell its original content to broadcasters in foreign territories. 
The firm has previously revealed that its ITVBe channel has made an encouraging start since it was launched back in the autumn. The channel caters for a young female audience.

6 Stocks To Buy And Hold Forever...

How does a steady flow of income, 24 dividend payments a year, for an average yield of 4.23% sound?

If you love dividends and, more importantly, love to see those dividends go up every year... then you need to consider forever dividend stocks for your portfolio.  These are stocks we believe you can buy and hold forever.

In this report, we will uncover our six favorite dividends stocks that have been hand selected from our Compound Income Portfolio.

The Compound Income Portfolio is designed for wealth seekers. This portfolio uses the immense power of dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs) to compound dividends and grow wealth in a conservative manner.

The concept is very simple:
If you buy 1,000 shares of a $10 stock and receive a 4% yield, and those $400 (4% on $10,000) are reinvested... At the end of one year, you'll have 1,040 shares. Those extra 40 shares also generate dividends.
  • If the dividend grows 10% per year, after five years you'll have 1,227 shares.
  • After 10 years you'll own 1,544 shares. Keep in mind that all those shares are generating   more and more dividends every year as the dividend goes higher.
After that, the compounding math is a wonder to behold...
  • After 10 years (presuming average market returns), your original $10,000 is now worth $31,777. The annual yield on your DRIP is 14.1%.
  • After 15 years, you have $58,993 (and a yield of 29.3%).
  • In 20 years, you're looking at $113,019... and an astounding annual yield of 62.9%!
The easiest way to reinvest your dividends is to simply tell your broker you want your dividends reinvested. Most brokers offer this service free of charge. So you can buy a stock once, pay one commission and hold it for years without paying another dime as the nest egg grows.
One thing to remember: If the stocks are in a taxable account, you will owe taxes on the dividends even if you are reinvesting them and not collecting the cash. So be sure to have enough cash set aside to pay your taxes every year.
Now that we have covered the power of compounding, let's get to the picks...

Forever Dividend Stock #1: Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP)
Our first pick is a Master Limited Partnership (MLP).
Most MLPs are energy-related. However, this one is a play on global infrastructure.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners owns and operates electricity transmission lines in South America, timberland in North America, ports in Europe and railroads in Australia.
It pays a 5.2% yield and has raised the dividend an average of 14.3% over the past five years. Management has lifted the dividend every year for seven years.
In 2013, funds from operations (FFO) – a measure of cash flow for MLPs – grew 41%. Investments made in 2012 in project expansion and acquisitions came online last year, boosting FFO. And they will continue to do so going forward.
Last year, Brookfield paid 52% of FFO in the form of dividends. It is committed to paying 60% to 70% in the future.

Forever Dividend Stock #2:  Williams Partners (NYSE: WPZ)
Our second pick is another MLP, which is totally energy-related like most MLPs.
Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Williams Partners operates nearly 14,000 miles of oil and gas pipelines. They focus on connecting North America's hydrocarbon resource plays to growing markets for natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs).
It has a plump 7.2% yield, has raised the dividend for 10 straight years, has boosted the dividend by 9% per year on average and is committed to another 9% raise in 2014.

Forever Dividend Stock #3:  Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN)
Our next pick is one of the world's leading chipmakers.
Founded in 1930, and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Texas Instruments designs, manufactures and sells semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers worldwide.
The company has a 2.9% yield, but has been growing the dividend at over 23% per year over the past 10 years. Though it recently raised the dividend 42%, we're going with a more conservative growth forecast of 16.4%.
In 2013 it only paid out 39% of its free cash flow in dividends, so it has plenty of room to continue to send more cash to shareholders.

Forever Dividend Stock #4:  Meredith Corp. (NYSE: MDP)
Meredith Corp is another long-term dividend pick.
The company is the publisher of Better Homes and Gardens, Parents and other popular magazines.
But Meredith doesn't depend on your $19 for a magazine subscription.
The company licenses its brands, generates advertising revenue (including online) and is expanding into other countries such as Italy and Turkey.
It has an attractive 3.9% dividend yield and sports a dividend growth rate of over 15% per year.
It only pays out 43% of its free cash flow in dividends, so it should be able to continue growing the dividend at a rapid pace for years to come – especially considering Wall Street is expecting 15% annual earnings growth over the next five years.

Forever Dividend Stock #5:  Raytheon (NYSE: RTN)
Raytheon provides a wide range of defense products and services, from electronics systems to missile systems. It manufactures the same kind of FLIR (forwardlooking infrared) imaging technology that Boston authorities used to target the Boston Marathon bombers.
Raytheon's biggest customer by far is the United States government. But it is expanding internationally. In the spring of 2013, the company announced a contract with South Korea to upgrade its fleet of F-16 jet fighters.
Sequestration or a smaller defense budget could cause revenue growth to slow. But with increased international business and the plethora of lunatics parading as leaders of nations, Raytheon's business should have no problem remaining strong enough to continue to generate gobs of cash.
And as income investors, that's what we're most interested in.
In 2013, Raytheon generated $2.37 billion in cash flow from continuing operations. Free cash flow – a more conservative gauge of cash flow because it takes into account capital expenditures – was $2.09 billion. The company paid out $695 million in dividends for a payout ratio of just 33%.
That means even if free cash flow slips, Raytheon has plenty of room to not only pay the dividend but to raise it, like it has for the past nine years.
And those raises have been substantial. Over the past five years, Raytheon has increased the dividend an average of 14.5% per year.
The stock has a yield of 2.3%. Combined with the 14.5% average annual dividend raise, it fits in perfectly within the forever dividend stock system.

Forever Dividend Stock #6:  Mattel (Nasdaq: MAT)
With a nearly 4% dividend yield that we expect to grow to over 5% in less than three years, toymaker Mattel (Nasdaq: MAT) is the perfect setup for income seekers.
Mattel has many iconic brands in its stable. Barbie, Hot Wheels and Fisher-Price are just a few of its top-selling names.
American Girl is another popular brand.
Mattel recently acquired MEGA Brands, which is one of the top 15 toy companies in the world.
Last year, MEGA had $405 million in sales. Its biggest seller, MEGA Bloks, is like Lego, but the blocks are larger and designed for younger kids.
Lego is enjoying a surge in popularity. And what do little kids want more than anything else? To be big kids. Playing with MEGA Bloks is one way for them to emulate their older siblings, but with a toy that's designed for their little hands.

Additionally, MEGA owns the licensing rights to household name brands such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Hello Kitty and Power Rangers.
Improving business and the MEGA acquisition should lift Mattel's free cash flow significantly.
Last year, the company generated $446 million in free cash flow. This is an important number because the company paid out $494 million in dividends.
If that level of free cash flow was expected to be consistent, we'd have a problem because it doesn't cover the dividend. And we wouldn't be recommending the stock.
But this year, free cash flow is projected to improve to $578 million, rising to $937 million in 2015 and to $1.28 billion in 2016.

Over three years that's a white-hot compound annual growth rate of 42%. It should be more than enough to pay the rising dividend each year.
Considering the company's strong cash flow growth, we expect Mattel to increase its dividend by over 12% per year on average for the next several years.
Mattel has paid a dividend continuously since 1990. There have been many raises since then, and a few cuts as well. More recently, Mattel has raised the dividend for the past three years in a row.

With more than enough cash flow expected through 2016 and the company's focus on cutting costs, we don't believe a dividend cut will be necessary in the near or intermediate future.

Over the next 10 years, with dividends reinvested, Mattel should generate at least a 12% average annual return, which more than triples your money. And if you jump onboard today, you can start collect a 3.9% yield.

The Cure for Stock Market Volatility

We believe forever dividend stocks are the cure for stock market fear and volatility. While the rest of investors bite their nails worrying what the market will do days, weeks, or months from now, you can sit back and collect your dividends with little worry except what you are going to do with all this income (a problem anyone would like to have).

The six stocks mentioned above have an average yield of 4.23%, average dividend growth rate of 12.9%, and have raised their dividends every year for an average of 10 years. And as we mentioned before, the powers of reinvesting your income and compounding dividends will boost your annual dividend yield even higher.

Remember, these are not short-term picks, they are long-term holds, and all of them should be able to maintain high dividend payments over the long haul.

Good investing,
The Oxford Club Research Team

P.S. These six stocks we mentioned above are only a small taste of all the picks we have in the Oxford Income Letter, which solely focuses on income generating stocks.
In fact, at the beginning of 2013 the letter's Chief Income Strategist, Marc Lichtenfeld, made a bold prediction that has some extreme ramifications for dividend and income investors.
He said interest rates were about to soar - possibly returning to record highs.
Keep in mind: Interest rates had been falling for 30 years when he made this call. It was a shocking prediction.
And it was dead accurate. Over the last year, rates on the benchmark 10-year Treasurys have jumped more than 37%.
Suddenly, the mainstream media are all atwitter with talk of rising rates.
But Marc Lichtenfeld is months, even years ahead of them. The question is: what do rising rates mean for income and dividend investors?  More important, how can you turn this event into windfall gains... and double-digit income for years?
That's what you'll discover in Marc's watershed research.
To see where interest rates are headed next - and learn the perfect investment now - simply click here. You'll be taken to the fully uncensored presentation.
I suggest you review Marc's work sooner rather than later. The next turn in this story could be historic.
And if you're not prepared, it could devastate your portfolio.
Has Obama Been Keeping This Moneymaker From American Citizens?
President Obama prides himself on being the "President of the People." But did you know he's quietly been collecting as much as $5 million thanks to a surprising source 99% of all American citizens CAN'T access? Yet now, we've just found a perfectly legal back door for ordinary people to get in on this moneymaker, for as little as $11. And you will be SHOCKED when you see how much income there is to be made here. Check out the exposé on Obama's secret here.

How to Predict the Value that Land will have after Planning Permission is Granted.

I was asked today how an investor can predict the value that land will have once planning permission is granted.
It is that question that has inspired this article and a useful valuation resource, which I hope is helpful to you.
In most areas of the country DEMAND has increased for all development land.

Land VALUES however over the last 5 years have increased for small plots (for 2 to 3 houses) but have not generally increased for large plots.

This is because national developers were hit hard by the credit crunch and are increasing their capital by widening their margins.

Small developers who are funded by cash are "making hay while the sun shines" by buying, building and selling.

So, if you have historic valuations or historic credible offers (e.g. from a national developer) you can assume that prices have changed little for large plots, but may have increased for small plots. 

For example I had  some land under contract, with planning permission to build 3 coach houses, that failed to sell for £105k in 2012 despite being on the market for almost a year.  

But in 2014 the land sold within 2 weeks for £130k, to a buyer who had viewed, but chosen not to buy in 2012.

Key Idea, the resale value of fields has seen little change, but small plots have increased in value.

Valuing land is generally more of an art than a science.

There are even more variables to valuing land than there are to valuing houses (and we all know how subjective that can be).

One solution is to instruct a RICS surveyor to value the land but this can be prohibitively expensive.

The additional complexity with our business model is that we are generally predicting the value that land will have AFTER planning permission has been granted.

The pre-planning value bears almost no relevance to the post planning value.

Clearly there are a range of possible values that can be attributed to the land.
We certainly cannot stick a finger in the air and guess.

So, just like when we are valuing houses, we draw on a number of resources to help us reach a figure.

To establish a post planning land valuation we will make use of both of the following:

a) The land value spreadsheet from the Valuation Office Agency(VOA).

and

b) The land value based on Gross Development Value (GDV).

Today we will look at the land value spreadsheet from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has been collecting and publishing data on residential development land values since autumn 1983

This has resulted in values of three types of site - large, small and sites suitable for flats/maisonettes - at both local and national level.

The figures in the spreadsheet represent typical levels of value for sites without abnormal site constraints and with residential planning permission of a type generally found within the area.

The valuations are current to 2010 and in most areas values have risen by 4% - 6%, so this helps you be more conservative in your predicted post planning valuation.

You can download the VOA spreadsheet free of charge at

Could Peer to Peer lending be a new way for you to fund your future UK Property Deals?

Yes! I think it will be and so I would like to explain why this is so important to you,and what you can do to be part of this pioneering movement!

I predict that in as little as two years, this could become one of the main ways for you to raise money on your property deals. I am very proud of the pioneering work we are doing, and so let me explain how you could get involved.

One of the major problems faced by most investors is how to fund their property deals. No matter now much money you have, at some point you will run out of personal funds. The creative investors understand that as long as you have a great deal, there is always a way to fund it.

Take Oliver Steele-Perkins for example. Oliver is a successful project manager with a proven track record of over 100 development projects for his clients. He has secured a fantastic joint venture project, which involves demolishing an existing bungalow and replacing it with a luxury 3600 Sq ft detached home.  This deal will take about 18 months to complete, but make him about £150k in personal profit without him spending a penny of his own money. How would you like to do that?

Oliver’s project has only been live on www.CrowdProperty.com for about two weeks but has already raised over 50% of the required target for the first phase of funding. He is offering a 10% per annum return for 18 months, and anyone can lend from as little as £500 up to as much as they like.

Last week Ollie told me that it has been easier for him to raise funds through CrowdProperty, than it has been to personally raise funds in the past.  He thinks this is because before the deal is listed on the platform, it has gone through a strict due diligence process before being awarded the CrowdProperty stamp of approval. Secondly, all of the lenders get the added security of a legal first charge on the project held by CrowdProperty on their behalf. This means that in the unlikely event that a borrower defaults, CrowdProperty will be able to take control of the property and manage to get funds back to the lenders.

So why is this important to you?

Well two reasons.
  1. CrowdProperty are looking for new projects to help fund right now and as long as you are an experienced developer maybe they could help you.
  2. Who do you know who has maybe got some funds in the bank and they would like to get a better return on their money?
The more lenders we can attract, then the more projects we can fund in the future. I love the property investors network because there is such an abundant friendly atmosphere, where people are prepared to help each other.

With CrowdProperty you could help other people such as Ollie and get paid very well from it, in the form of a great return on your money.

For this reason, I would like you to invite you to visit the CrowdProperty website today, find out about Ollie’s development project and decide how much you can pledge to support his project. 

Also think about who else do you know who might have some funds available, that they might like to get a better return on. Let’s spread the word about the opportunity to get a great ROI, so that we can help to fund more property projects through CrowdProperty.
