Surely Robbie Fowler would, by definition, be the worst person to teach you how to "Build a Property Portfolio Without the Need of a Footballer's Salary"?

It’s a great time to invest in a buy-to-let property. That’s if you believe legendary Liverpool footballer Robbie Fowler, who runs a property empire stretching from Cardiff to Scotland and is encouraging the public to take his £1,000-a-head “property academy” courses to become, like him, a multi-millionaire landlord.

“It’s a fantastic time to buy,” says Fowler, who focuses on the north-west of England. “Prices tumbled during the recession but are starting to rise again. I’m trying to buy a few more myself. Two- or three-bed places are probably perfect,” he adds, as families unable to get on the property ladder are renting instead.

But encouraging buy-to-let will find Fowler few friends among campaign groups such as Generation Rent and PricedOut, who argue that rampant landlordism is destroying the hopes of young buyers.

Figures from Halifax this week revealed a renewed surge in house prices – up 2.7% in one month alone and running at an annualised rate of 9%. Fowler’s belief is that a strong recovery in house prices will give landlords capital gains, as well as enabling them to raise rents – although he warns against being too greedy.

After flirting with horse racing – at one point he and fellow Liverpool footballer Steve McManaman owned 10 racehorses – Fowler ploughed his football earnings into a string of properties, earning him a place in the 2005 Sunday Times Rich List of the 1,000 wealthiest people in the country with an estimated fortune of £28m.

But the controversial striker, who enjoyed biblical levels of affection among Anfield fans – they called him “God” after he shattered Arsenal with the quickest hat-trick in league history – is shy about revealing the true extent of his property investments.

“I’ve got more than 10,” he says. “I’m a private person, I don’t like to disclose everything.” But almost everyone knows he has more than 10. Even the fans on the terraces would sing “We all live in a Robbie Fowler home,” to the tune of Yellow Submarine. Does he have more than 100? “Let’s say I have more than 10 but less than 100,” he adds.

[...] Does he acknowledge concerns that buy-to-let landlords are kicking away the ladder from first-time buyers? “Some people can’t afford to buy, so as a landlord you are providing a benefit for other people ... you are providing a service. Some landlords have been greedy, but you certainly won’t get that from me after the upbringing I had in the centre of Liverpool.”

This weekend the Robbie Fowler Property Academy is hosting sessions at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Birmingham, followed by a week of events at Hiltons in London. But you won’t find Fowler on stage. “I’ve been to a few, but I was never going to go to them all,” he says. Initial sessions are free, with in-depth training for wannabe landlords charged at around £1,000. The academy is, in reality, run by a Florida company, Legacy Education Alliance, which says it promises Fowler students “investment strategies” in “social housing, buy-to-let, lease options and land development.”
