This Property Life Podcast (Property Wealth System)

James D'Souza talks to Oli Arnold of Vanlife Conversions, which converts vans into camper vans, about renovations and refurbishments on a smaller scale, and how you can apply the techniques he's learned to your own property investment portfolio.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Creating a power team will give you the skill sets you need in order to turn properties into something wonderful.
• Living the life of a digital nomad has become very attractive. People are able to travel and work from anywhere, renting out their houses in order to provide income and experiencing life up close.
• The principles of renovating and flipping vans can also be applied to house renovations. It's the same fundamental business model.
• Centring the design around the place of comfort is always wise. People want ao centre that they can fall back to and feel comfortable within.

 BEST MOMENTS

'I learned a lot about leadership and management'

'Customers do a lot of research before they take the plunge'

'We tend to start with the bed'

James D'Souza talks to Michael Lawson - an ex-pat currently living in Dubai, and who invests in a certain, concentrated property development area in Scotland. Michael talks about the best practices he's discovered when it comes to investing from abroad, and the life he's been able to create since doing so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you stop treating investing as a hobby and start treating it like a business, then the results improve exponentially.
• Investing in a chosen area can work very effectively. You need to have a good knowledge of what works, and where.
• If you have a great team on the ground, then it's safe to take yourself away and rely on their talents. You can live anywhere in the world if you have the right boots on the ground.
• You will always have jobs to perform, so property investing can never truly be fully passive. This is just a pipe dream. You will always find tasks to perform.

 BEST MOMENTS

'I'm treating this as a business instead of a pension pot'

'It's kind of the perfect area to invest'

'It's not passive income. It's far from passive'

‘Quality homes for quality people’

This week, Mark Winship talks to Asaad Tariq, a commercial property whirlwind, who delivers a masterclass in all things commercial investing and how to create opportunities in emerging markets, from a man with a wealth of knowledge, and whose success has been founded upon an abundance mind-set.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building a network is one of the most valuable assets in our investing journey. Surrounding ourselves with those who can help us and inspire us when needed, is crucial to longevity.
• It is far harder to fail in anything if we take the opportunities we see, and go out and create them for ourselves when we can. Success comes through an abundance mind-set.
• Sometimes, when our backs are against the wall, we discover the things we're truly capable of. We also learn about the people in our network who are worth your trust.
• The high street is not expiring. The high street is merely changing. Change means opportunity, especially for investors.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Having good relationships are key'

'It's about seeing benefits and implementing them onto the business'

'Leveraging your power team is key'

'If you've got honesty and loyalty behind you, it open up many more doors'

Mark Winship is joined once more by Jerry Alexander, to discuss the complex issue of risk management - how it can manifest itself in property, and how the ways we manage it can play a huge role in how we choose to invest.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Too many people look at risk too simplistically. It is a complex issue and needs a broad perspective. We need to step back and see how the multifaceted aspects of risk can trickle down to other areas.
• When we take a risk, sometimes it opens up new pathways in which risk may enter, such as insurance or liability. We need to be constantly aware.
• It's worth taking time to work out contingency plans, so that we may embark upon differing forms of strategy and tactics.
• Risk management is not about ignoring risks. it's about recognising and analysing the risks and then taking steps to mitigate.

 BEST MOMENTS

'What are the consequences of NOT doing something?'

'If that eventuality then this is my mitigating step'

'How much is it influenced by the person and not the situation?'

'Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's what you do in response to fear'

Nick Claydon talks to Danny, and Katie, who discuss their journey in the property industry, reflecting particularly on their initial meeting and mentorship, as well as the challenges they faced, including personal and relationship changes.

Despite these obstacles, they remained positive and committed to their goals, and here they share how they pivoted their strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic and successfully raised a million pounds in private finance, as well as their approach to scaling their portfolio, including buying 12 houses in 12 months!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is always a need to adapt and pivot quickly in order to overcome challenges and continue moving forward.
• By being authentic and sharing their journey, Katie and Danny were able to attract investors who believed in their vision and wanted to be a part of their success.
• When it comes to working with spouses or partners, Danny and Katie stress the significance of being on the same page and working together towards a common vision.
• Problem-solving is a key attribute of a successful property investor. We need to navigate challenges, find solutions, and overcome obstacles that arise throughout the investing journey.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're trying to break through and are breaking through that sort of generational wealth, glass ceiling, if you like."

"We've raised a million pounds and bought 12 houses in 2021."

"We stopped raising money for a little while because we thought we've actually got this all lined up and it's comfortable."

"Don't stop, just keep doing it all the time, whether you think you need it or not, because the likelihood is you will."

Mark Winship talks to Jodie Vickery, who only started investing in property at the end of 2021, but who has since then successfully begun to build a mighty property empire. Jodie discusses the importance of routine and productivity, how to be creative with your direct-to-vendor strategy, and how commitment to action can produce extraordinary results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Property investing is a route to security. Investing in the bricks and mortar of property is one of the safest bets we can make with our time and money.
• Building relationships is key to kickstarting your property journey. We should also endeavour to let as many people as possible know what we do, so that they can bring opportunities to us when they arise.
• Mentors keep us grounded and accountable, while also demonstrating what can be possible if we apply ourselves and the lessons we learn.

 BEST MOMENTS

'I focussed on what I could so rather than what I couldn't do'

'People can see the track record. It's a proven concept'

'The momentum after the mentorship was amazing'

James is joined by Dave and Darren of Michael Alexander Sourcing, a property sourcing company. Dave and Darren share their backgrounds in construction and how they got into property investing.

They also discuss the challenges and regulations involved in setting up a sourcing business, including insurance, data protection, and money laundering checks, providing valuable insights into the world of property sourcing and the benefits of working with experienced professionals in the field.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Dave and Darren of Michael Alexander Sourcing have a background in construction and project management, which has influenced their interest in property investment.

They started investing in property together in 2012 and have since built a portfolio of buy-to-let properties and HMO conversions.

As sourcing agents, they provide a range of services, from finding deals to managing refurbishments and connecting clients with trusted letting agents.

Compliance and regulation are important aspects of their business, including insurance, data protection, and anti-money laundering checks. They are also registered with the property ombudsman or property redress scheme to protect their clients.

BEST MOMENTS

"We do it. We're putting all this effort in. We're putting offers in on everything, but only able to complete on some of them." 

"We don't want to walk away from a deal because we've got lots of clients who have different parameters, different requirements, different expectations in terms of their level of return." 

"We've got to be fully satisfied under the AML guidelines that we've done all we should be doing in order to verify the legitimacy of that person and their source of funds." 

"We always give you know, we'll always be transparent. We're not going to mess around. We'll always give you our number. But if that doesn't work for you, then let's keep talking because we don't want to walk away from a deal."

Mark Winship talks to Nick Claydon, who with his wife Caroline (a fellow This Property Life alumni), has formed a formidable property empire.

Nick has dedicated himself to helping others realise their own dreams through property investing, and talks to Mark today about finding opportunities despite the up-and-downs of the property market, the importance of property education, and the exciting strategy of converting rundown guest houses into boutique hotels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When opportunity presents itself, we should always explore them. A single moment can change your life forever, and can lead us down far more fruitful roads.
• Buying a property is one of the most important decisions that we make in life, and yet there is very little education around the subject. Arming yourself with knowledge will help you greatly.
• Seeing the success of others can be hugely inspirational, and can act as the ignition we need in order to launch our property investing careers.
• Much of the running of properties can be automated, meaning that you are free to focus upon the areas that need constant attention. Leverage others, and develop systems and processes in order to scale quickly and successfully.

 BEST MOMENTS

'There's always been something about property that I've been fascinated about'

'It felt like a real sliding doors moment'

'If you want to change your life, then get educated'

'It changed everything. it showed us what was possible'

Mark Winship is joined by Alan Cadden from Cavetta Consulting, to discuss the all-important topic of capital allowances. Many view tax information as somewhat dry, but as Mark and Alan explain, the amount of money you could be saving through capital allowances can often be staggering to investors. Listen as the "best kept secret in property" is discussed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Capital allowances apply to fixtures and fittings for commercial properties. HMRC are willing to give an allowance for anything that degrades in these properties over time.
• Your alternative to NOT claiming for capital allowances is to pay more to HMRC. This is the simple fact of the matter. Only 30% of commercial property investors claim capital allowances.
• Capital allowance claims can be used on properties such as hotels, let apartments, serviced accommodations, so long as the property is not a primary residence.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Capital allowances are the best kept secret in property'

'If you do this in the first couple of years this can be very advantageous'

'Landlords can be sat on situations where they can maximise their profits, and increase return on investment'

This Property Life are joined by Barry-John and Leanne Corr - living proof that you too can make the leap into property, and go from employed to the life of your dreams - financially free and able to set your own agenda each day!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Education is the key to making the most out of property. Using the right strategy at the right time will enable you to be able to move on any opportunity.
• If you have a clear vision of what is possible, and look for the point you want to reach, then it'll help you when the challenges grow in front of you.
• It's okay to feel overwhelmed at the beginning, but if you stick to your chosen strategy and keep moving forward, you will find success.
• Always make sure that everyone you know is aware of what you do and how you can help them. Investing is a two way street - you will both benefit, and you never know who is sitting on money that could be working for them in a better way.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It's grown very quickly over the years'

'We've learned a hell of a lot along the way'

'It's only when you take a step back that can see how far we've come'

‘You’ve got to believe in yourself’

• Making sure that you stay abreast of the many strategies at hand in property, is crucial to utilising the right method at the right time.
• Using bridging loans can often be quite expensive. Freeing up equity in your own home means a far cheaper way of raising the finance you need to complete a deal.
• Your own home is an investment. You are consuming your own home. It's always worth using this investment asset in order to make your money work as hard as possible for you.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Education is the key'

'I have no qualms about using the equity in my house'

'Your own home can be more of a liability than an asset. It costs you money'

Mark Winship is joined by Andrea Carrington, to talk about skyrocketing energy bills, how the new cost of them could directly impact your property investing strategy, and how you can best mitigate them in order to keep your cashflow on an even keel.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As landlords, we should always try to mitigate the costs of energy in our properties, and always try to keep on top of costs and expenses where possible.
• Putting rents up to counter the effects of energy rises is a reasonable solution, so long as we don't overdo it. We must remember that our tenants are also on budgets.
• Our first port of call should be communication with the tenants. We must have a dialogue about the ways in which we can save money by cutting unnecessary costs, and help them to understand why it matters.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Energy efficiency is more important than ever'

'We're in the mix with everyone else, trying to figure this out'

'This is unprecedented and it impacts on everybody'

This week, Mark Winship and James D'Souza are joined by Adrian Bellingham of Covest Architecture, to talk about what to expect when you have a good architect as part of your power team, how they can help you to realise more from your investment, how to work with building control, and how to be a good client.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you work closely with an architect, and build a rapport with them, you can establish the level of expertise they have in your area and how they can best benefit you.
• Planning advice can be hugely impactful, so make sure you get qualified advice from someone you trust and who has you best interests at heart.
• Consultants can sometimes fail to see the potential in your site. Every cubic foot of space has the potential to maximise revenue. Creativity matters.
• If you have never engaged in a new build, then start with something with planning permission. You'll realise the gains from the uplift in value post-development. Brown field sites should come later.

 BEST MOMENTS

'There is a degree of design that comes into this'

'My niche is spatial awareness'

'The key is in exceeding the brief, and that does take time and effort. It also takes passion as well'

'It's really important that your designer is not an "instruction taker"'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Rick Blaney about his incredible investing journey, and how he is using the knowledge and experience he has built to help other investors energise their own pathways through property.

Rick discusses how he got started, the strategies he has used in order to scale up, and what it was like to feature on the hit Channel 4 series, 'Three In A Bed'

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you start in property it can be quite daunting. A great practice to consider at the outset is to cultivate your network, and associate with people at a higher level than you, so that you can learn from those who have walked the path before you.
• In property there are two schools of thought that get people started. People are driven by the goals and things they want, or they are looking to escape from the treadmill of life and do something more exciting.
• Serviced accommodation is changing the way that the world thinks about travel. It provides a far higher level of flexibility and freedom, and in many cases is far more reasonable in terms of cost.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It's scary, but it's also very enlightening'

'Very quickly you can close that gap!'

'Once you get that entrepreneurial drive about you, you start looking for what's next'

James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned.
• Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities.
• Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money.
• Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It took me so long to learn the craft'

'Solidify the learnings. Make sure you master them'

'It's all relationships!'

'Understanding which valuation metric lenders go with can be very helpful'

Many find themselves put off the property investing route for fear that will not be able to raise the money needed to get started, but in this episode, Caroline Claydon explain the ways in which you can get going using other people's money, and where to find it!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being an entrepreneur or an investor is never about having money to play with. It does come into play, but that's further down the road.
• We're conditioned from a young age to think that we need money before we act, but we need to un-peel this thinking when it comes to business.
• Take a look at your financial reputation and adjust your strategy accordingly. If lending is required to fulfil it, and you can't get lending, then you need another strategy.
• There are people out there who have money stored away and who are looking for a better return. You can help these people - you just need to find them.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Money is the least important element behind a lot of businesses or investments'

'Look at what you're trying to achieve, along with the strategy you'll use to get there'

'We need to choose that meets your circumstances. From there we choose our investment area'

This week, Caroline and James discuss the recent budget announcements and how they might impact the property market, and your investing journey going forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Economical and budgetary decisions taken by the government are out of our control. It's always best to optimise our plans in accordance with what's announced as we cannot control these decisions.
• In order to encourage people to return to work they are adjusting childcare benefits, but many may ask why they should return to work simply to pay for children to be taken care of while they do so.
• Old school mentality states that we should work hard throughout life, pay off mortgages and only enjoy life when we're old. There needs to be another way.
• Pension pots are largely unsustainable due to the fact that people don't save into them until it's far too late. We need to start conserving money sooner in life

 BEST MOMENTS

'These are things that are out of our control'

'They always give with one hand and take away with the other'

'They've flip-flopped around with corporation tax quite a lot'

Nick Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss the importance of having a strong "why" in property investing, and share their own personal reasons for getting started in property and how their motivations have evolved over time.

They also highlight three key behaviours of successful property investors, including persistence, following the advice of experienced investors, and overcoming assumptions about money, and why it’s vital to celebrate your wins along the way!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having a strong "why" is crucial in property investing. It provides motivation and helps overcome obstacles.
• Three key behaviours of a successful property investor are resilience, not taking things personally, and finding enjoyment in the process.
• It is important to listen to and follow the advice of experienced property investors who have achieved success.
• Raising money for investments is not as difficult as it may seem, and it is important to remove assumptions and approach potential investors with confidence.
• Celebrating success along the way is important to acknowledge achievements and stay motivated in the property investing journey.

 BEST MOMENTS

"If you're not connected with your why, when something tries to derail you, it's easier to give up."

"Persistence is one of the most important things. Keep turning up every day, keep taking action."

"Don't take things personally. In this business, you will meet lots of big personalities”

"Follow advice of people who've been there and done it before. Why make the same mistakes that you know someone else has made?"

Mark Winship is joined by Chris O'Hare and Natalie D'Souza, to bust one of the most longstanding myths in property: that making money in the field is "easy". As the team discuss, the property market can often be beset by those wishing to give a false impression of the rewards on offer, but armed with the right knowledge and education, it can be simple to spot the real opportunities and make your mark!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The best route into property investing is to cut out the promises, the noise and the distractions, and focus on the clear goals ahead.
• No one thing is difficult when it comes to property, but the key to success lies in consistency and perseverance.
• The work required in order to get up and running can seem daunting and overwhelming at first, but once the education is gained, the systems and processes put in place, it does get easier as time goes on.

 BEST MOMENTS

'The biggest thing for me was to cut out lots of the noise'

'Be single-minded about it'

'You only know what you know'

Nick and Sarah dive deep into the upcoming general election and its implications on the property market, specifically focusing on the housing policies proposed by the main political parties in the UK.

They discuss the policies of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, highlighting the impact on property investors, and analyse the similarities and differences in the housing policies of the two major parties, emphasising the need for a long-term view in property investing amidst changing political landscapes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Conservative and Labour parties have similar housing policies, focusing on building more homes and reforming the rental sector. However, the Conservatives are less biased towards tenants compared to Labour.
• The example of rent caps in Scotland highlights how poorly thought-out policies can lead to unintended consequences, such as a 30% increase in rents. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the market dynamics before implementing regulations.
• Property investing is a long-term wealth-building strategy that requires taking a 10 to 20-year view. By buying the right type of property and understanding the market, investors can ride out short-term fluctuations and policy changes.
• Property investors need to adapt to market changes and government policies. While it's essential to stay informed and react to new regulations, having a solid understanding of the fundamentals of property investing can help navigate uncertainties.

BEST MOMENTS

"You can't officially change it I don't think. So many governments have tried to control housing, you can't, you have to let it just be as it is." 

"You've got to take a free market approach, you can't, so many governments have tried to control housing, you can't, you have to let it just be as it is." 

"It's a pity that the social housing market that is not the private part doesn't have to adhere to the same standards as the private rental sector."

The show returns, and in this episode Mark Winship talks to Gill and Darren Green, to tell us all about their latest commercial investment project - everything from they raised the necessary finance and the strategies involved, to how the project progressed from the start.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Choosing the correct area is essential, especially when it comes to commercial development. It's about identifying a need and supplying a commercial solution for that area.
• One of the defining characteristics that all property developers need to embrace is the ability to adapt to any challenge.
• A background in residential development is not necessary when it comes to commercial, but it can help. The various strategies involved can be similar, such as buy-to-let.
• It's always worth working on the installation of essential services from the very beginning of the deal, instead of waiting till near completion. Time scales and estimates can sometimes take much longer than you think.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We felt there was a growing market for small office space'

'We've got a passion for it!'

'Regulation is something people fear'

'It's more about having that foundation'

Mark Winship is joined by Jordan Kynoch, to discuss ways to solve that most common of problems - how to keep a refurbishment project on budget, including the insightful and practical lessons that both Mark and Jordan have learned during their own refurbishment experiences.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Contingency plans and funds are always advisable. You can never plan for every mishap, so it's always a good idea to have emergency resources available.
• Always remember that refurbs are there to serve your bottom line. Plan meticulously and don't give in to flourishes that could drive up the price and reduce your return on investment.
• When selecting a builder, look for smaller firms that can provide a more personal touch. This means that you get to know your project manager, and can be more hands off when it comes to the work itself.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Making sure that a refurbishment comes in on budget is a big piece of the puzzle for a lot of people'

'You need to keep a firm handle on these things'

'A slight change up can lead to your money staying in the deal, which puts more pressure on yourself'

'Making things as simple as possible is the name of the game'

James D'Souza meets Dorian Payne, who started investing in property at a very young age, and utilises a very niche strategy. Dorian talks about his investing journey, and what makes his investing method so unique.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you can tie your passion to your profession then you never feel as though you're working. Days fly by much quicker if we work at the things we love.
• You may feel as though you're stuck in a rut from time to time, but each challenge is a lesson. You can learn from any situation, so always look for the opportunities to grow and develop.
• Dorian's company now specialises in social, adaptable and affordable housing for people with unique needs and requirements, and who may find themselves closed out of traditional property avenues.
• As not just investors, but builders and packagers, Dorian is able to source land, plan the building side of things, and take the whole arrangement to the housing associations in order to secure completion.

 BEST MOMENTS

'My parents were accidental investors'

'When you do something you're not fond of, a minute turns into a day'

In this podcast episode, Sarah Blaney and Nick Claydon discuss the importance of having a clear vision and taking action to achieve success in property investment and life. They share personal experiences and recommend books and podcasts that have influenced their mindset and approach to achieving their goals, highlighting the significance of setting non-negotiable goals, doing the necessary work (referred to as "doing the reps"), and seeking help and resources to accelerate progress

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Before making any changes or pursuing any goals, it is essential to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve.
• Success comes from taking consistent action, doing the necessary work, and not expecting results to magically appear.
• Listening to podcasts and reading books can provide valuable insights, inspiration, and practical strategies for achieving success.
• Re-evaluate daily tasks and consider outsourcing to focus on strategic aspects of the business, working smarter rather than harder.
• Surrounding yourself with mentors and coaches can provide guidance, hold you accountable, and accelerate your progress towards your goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"You have to know what it is you're trying to do, why you know, what are non-negotiables? How do you want things to change?“

"I loved The Four by Scott Galloway. It really delves into Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google, and talks about their identity, their marketing, the way that they're run, and the very ethos of those companies."

"It's about lifestyle. It's not about how many properties you got or what your portfolio looks like. It's about, you know, we have one life, it can be short, you know, things can happen. You've got to make the most of it."

"So get the vision, do the reps, make the plan, get it done, do more reps."

In this podcast episode, Caroline Claydon is joined by property investor Jordan Kynoch, who shares the details of a successful flip he recently completed. Jordan discusses the strategic decisions and challenges he faced while turning around a distressed property in a village between Perth and Dundee

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Jordan's property flip resulted in a profit of over 80,000 pounds, exceeding his target and showcasing the potential for success even in a challenging market.
• Jordan's ability to secure off-market deals highlights the importance of networking and leveraging contacts in the industry to find lucrative opportunities.
• Listing the property during the Christmas period, typically considered a slow time in the market, proved to be a smart move as it attracted serious buyers and led to a quick sale.
• While the primary goal was a flip, Jordan had a secondary exit strategy in place, considering the option of renting the property if needed, showcasing the importance of having backup plans.

BEST MOMENTS

"I was aiming at least doing, trying to get at least 40 grand across from the flips."

"It's a really exciting time and it's hard for people to understand how much opportunities are out there when you read the media, right?"

"I bought it off market again and I've not touched it. I'm putting it back on to sell it straight away because I bought it at such a good price."

"I always like to do something a bit different to the norm, because it means that you've got that extra step ahead and you've got that jumpstart."

Mark Winship and Caroline Claydon discuss the art of outsourcing, including which tasks should be outsourced in life and business, how to recruit and train a great virtual assistant, and how to buy back time in your life by changing your mindset towards routine tasks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• No one is naturally comfortable with outsourcing at the beginning. As human beings, we are a little untrusting that anyone else can do as good a job as we can.
• Learning to outsource efficiently is the best way of buying back your time, so that you can spend it working on high value tasks, and the important things in life.
• Surround yourself with like-minded people, and take your cues from the way they manage time. More often than not, they will devote themselves to the vital things, and outsource the mundane tasks.
• A virtual assistant will only be as good as the training we provide, so training them in something that we know well is a great starting point.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It's easy to fall into the trap of working in your business when you should be working on your business'

'None of us got into the property adventure in order to create an extra full time, stressful job for ourselves'

'It's easy to get sucked into speaking to utility companies, or sorting out the council tax'

‘There are so many useful people out there, who are desperate to take on things we can do’

In this podcast episode, Sarah Blaney and Nick Claydon address questions from coaching clients, focusing on the importance of having a side hustle in addition to building a property portfolio. They emphasise the need for passion, skills, and monetization when choosing a side hustle and delve into the concept of resilience and how it plays a crucial role in overcoming setbacks in property investment

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building resilience is crucial for success in property investing. It involves overcoming setbacks, staying focused on goals, and surrounding oneself with positive influences.
• When feeling stuck or overwhelmed, taking small, consistent actions like viewing properties, networking, and setting clear goals can help regain momentum and motivation.
• Setbacks are inevitable in property investing. It's important to reflect on past experiences, identify what worked, and use that knowledge to navigate through challenges.
• Connecting with the why behind property investing and having a clear vision of goals can help maintain focus and drive, especially during tough times.
• Surrounding oneself with a supportive network of mentors, peers, and like-minded individuals can provide valuable insights, guidance, and encouragement in times of difficulty.

BEST MOMENTS

"You've got to find that fire and the passion for getting out and getting over all these obstacles, because I wish I could say there aren't any when you get more advanced, but you know, they just, the obstacles just get bigger."

"Expect the worst but hope for the best. Yeah, that's probably a good mindset to go in with, you know, expect that things are going to go wrong. But sometimes they don't. That's okay."

"You fall back on the experience of, well, when I felt like this last time, what did I do? And, you know, if it was okay, well, a funding problem, then what I did was I picked up the phone and spoke to XYZ and got more answers and more information which would help me through this."

Nick Claydon talks to Babs Elscome, who shares her journey into property investing and how she overcame challenges along the way. As someone who works in risk management, Babs initially struggled with the idea of investing in property. However, her desire for more time with her daughter and the tangible nature of property led her to take the leap. Babs discusses her first property deal, a block of flats in Morecambe, and how she has since expanded her portfolio through creative financing and finding angel investors. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Babs initially had reservations about approaching family and friends for investment, but she learned to overcome this block by networking with professionals and building trust with potential investors.
• Babs demonstrated persistence in finding opportunities, such as writing a letter to a vendor and reaching out to potential investors on social media. This persistence led to successful deals and partnerships.
• You can never underestimate the importance of building relationships based on trust and likability. By establishing trust and rapport with potential investors, Barbara was able to secure funding for her projects.
• There is a need for ongoing learning and development in the property industry. Barbara sought out coaching and mentorship, which helped her expand her knowledge and skills, enabling her to tackle more complex projects and overcome obstacles.

BEST MOMENTS

"But yeah, I think it was a, I'd been a bit accidental landlord a few years before and sold at a loss and just kind of thought, yeah, I just didn't know what I was doing." 

"So yeah, I think it was just the training and Caroline and realising that I was in a pain point."

"So, OK, so tell us a little bit about, you know, you came on some training and you got started. I know you got started straight away. You kind of got the spark, didn't you?"

"So, um, yeah, I think, I think cause it was always still that, you know, tenancies and the properties that were already had in the background. And then, um, yeah, I think it was just, uh, yeah, I really enjoy property."

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza discuss the best time to begin your investing journey when it comes to property, and if it's sometimes wiser to wait for certain market conditions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can't ever hope to know when prices will be at the perfect point in time. Ultimately, if you have the right mindset and play for the long results, it doesn't matter when you buy.
• Property prices will inevitably grow over time, so there is never a long-term place in time that'll be perfect.
• When looking at a market, always take a glance at the sentiment - the general feeling around lending and property as an investment model.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Is there a perfect time be buying property?'

'Never have we taken our foot off the gas'

'If you have the ability to invest in property, it'll be safer now than ten or fifteen years ago'

They share valuable insights from their own 15-year journey in the field, shedding light on the importance of adaptability, long-term planning, and seeking expert advice.

Episode Summary

This week's episode dives deep into the value of human interaction in property investing. Nick and Rick discuss how engaging in face-to-face meetings, building a local network of contractors, and talking to people in new investment areas can uncover significant opportunities that online listings might miss. Rick shares personal anecdotes highlighting the success that comes from consistently putting oneself out there and making connections, such as discovering a landlord with a large property portfolio through direct conversation.

The episode also touches on the significance of overcoming impostor syndrome in the industry. Both speakers advocate for taking small, proactive steps to build confidence and expertise. The hosts invite listeners to participate by sending in questions for future Q&A sessions, aiming to create an interactive and engaging community focussed on property investment.

Key Takeaways

1. Engage in Networking: Property investing isn't just about scouring online listings like Rightmove. It's about visiting locations, talking to people, and building a local network of contractors and service providers.
2. Build a Database of Contacts: Dedicate trips to investment areas to meet local subcontractors, such as roofers and builders. Referrals and face-to-face interactions are invaluable in this business.
3. Value of Human Interaction: Relying solely on online information might lead to missed opportunities. Real-life stories underline that talking to people can unearth hidden investment opportunities.
4. Hard Work Over Luck: Opportunities in property investing come more from consistent effort and networking rather than luck.

Best Moments

• [00:05:12] - Nick's personal experience: Discovering a landlord with a property portfolio through in-person networking rather than online listings.
• [00:15:43] - Rick's Strategy for Finding a Good Builder: Engaging with builders in investment areas and getting referrals from letting agents.

Utilize tax-efficient strategies.

In this episode of Property Wealth System's podcast, hosts Nick and Caroline discuss their journey of making £100K in income in one month from a single property. They aim to debunk the clickbait titles and share the real highs and lows of property investment. The duo dives into their transition into serviced accommodation, the planning and financial challenges they faced, and the strategies they implemented to overcome them. They provide insights into navigating the Edinburgh property market, dealing with unexpected setbacks, and the importance of having a solid foundation of other income-generating properties. The hosts also highlight the significance of realistic expectations, transparency, and the long-term commitment required in property investment.

Key Takeaways:

• Sensationalist media headlines can attract attention but often mask the reality of property investing experiences.

• Successful property investing requires thorough planning, dealing with unexpected issues, and having a robust financial safety net.
• Extending property business into hospitality services, such as serviced accommodations, can be profitable but comes with its own set of challenges.
• Establishing credibility and a good reputation in the local market can have significant long-term benefits.

Navigating Property Investment: End Goals and Evolving Strategies

In this episode of The Property Life podcast, hosts Nick and Caroline delve into their personal journey of property investment, discussing what they term as their 'property end game.' They candidly explore their varied perspectives—Nick considering eventual stepping back from active investment and Caroline seeing it as a lifelong pursuit fuelled by a passion for the process. Despite their differing outlooks, they map out important considerations for property investors, such as the impact of market conditions, the necessity of long-term planning, and the potential to hand off operations to the next generation. They also touch on the importance of setting and revisiting financial goals, differing investment strategies from real estate to diversified funds, and the challenges posed by an evolving market landscape. The conversation is interspersed with personal anecdotes and hints at the underlying dynamics of their business and personal relationship.

Key Takeaways:

- The concept of 'property end game' revolves around determining personal financial goals and achieving a sustainable lifestyle through property investment.

- Differing views on what the 'end game' entails: one speaker desires to eventually sell and live off fund investments, while the other is enthusiastic about continuous property acquisition.

- Maintaining a clear vision and flexible goals is critical as aspirations and financial situations evolve.

- Achieving financial freedom involves establishing a target income and building a diversified portfolio to support that lifestyle.

- The discussion highlights challenges in property investment, including dealing with planning, lending, and legalities, as well as the stress of project management.

- Consideration of family legacy is important, with thoughts on possibly involving the next generation or exploring passive income avenues.

- The book 'Financial Freedom' is referenced, emphasizing the importance of calculating your desired annual income and working towards a significant investment fund.

- The speakers note the necessity of ongoing learning and exploration of new ventures and business opportunities.

- There's mention of potential gender disparity in the property industry and personal observations from events and experiences.

- Pensions may not suffice for a desired retirement lifestyle, hence the need for proactive investment planning.

- Continuous adaptation and reassessment of financial goals are vital, with an emphasis on stepping stone objectives leading to an ultimate end game.

The Great Debate: New Builds vs. Victorian Terraces in Property Investment

In this episode, hosts Nick and Caroline engage in a thorough discussion on the pros and cons of investing in new builds versus Victorian terraced houses in the UK property market. They share their preference for Victorian terraces, citing stability and long-term investment potential, while new builds are viewed as market-reliant and speculative. Through colorful anecdotes and statistics about past market conditions, they emphasize the importance of understanding the market, investor pitfalls, and the dangers of oversupply in new build investments. They also highlight the risks of education companies tied to developers and caution potential investors against such practices. The conversation is a mix of Nick's enthusiasm for Victorian homes and some property investment educational content, rounded off with an invitation to their upcoming property events around the UK

Key Takeaway Points:

- New builds often attract investors due to low initial costs and potential paper gains as development phases progress.

- Risks of new builds include market dependency, limited tenant appeal, high service charges, and potential oversupply.

- Victorian terraced houses are favored for their stability, consistent value, and broad tenant market appeal.

- Investing in property requires thorough research and understanding of market dynamics.

- Caution against speculating in new builds without extensive market knowledge, as it is akin to gambling.

- The importance of conventional investment practices focused on long-term gains from rental income.

- Property education should be about teaching investment strategies rather than pushing quick sales for self-interest.

- Simple, not easy: Property investing requires effort and understanding of processes, despite appearing straightforward.

- Real opportunities come from strategic investments rather than quick fixes sold by some educators.

- Emphasize investment in average properties for average people as a recession-proof strategy.

This week, Mark Winship talks to Michelle Wales for a special episode devoted to why we must attain an abundance mind-set.

Having an abundance mind-set is a common trait among the most successful investors, and in this conversation, Mark and Michelle discuss the ways in which it can you to create opportunities that others simply overlook.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Mind-set is not something you use at the beginning of your investing journey. It is a skill that sparks the journey, but which then develops into a finely tuned tool that enables you to continue your success.
• The best way to learn new skills and develop them for yourself, is to follow the example of those who have walked the path before you. This is why education is crucial.
• The way that we react to situations communicates a lot to others about the way we feel, and where we are at in our lives and journeys. Our actions speak volumes.
• A network is vital for many reasons. Not only can it provide you with the inspiration to battle through, but also the resources so that you can pounce upon opportunities when they arise.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, you're going to have to have the right mind-set'

'These are skills that you can learn in the same way that you acquire knowledge'

'If you have a scarcity mind-set, the chances of you doing something is massively reduced'

'When you believe there's an opportunity, you think about how to pivot and how to exploit that'

Caroline Claydon is joined by Gary Wales, a property investor who has recently founded a property estate agency which is off to an incredible start. In this conversation, Caroline and Gary talk about how you can get the best out of working with estate agents, and how to align your different aims.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Always look for ways to build and nurture your relationship with estate agents. You'll always get time from them if you look to build and provide mutual wins.
• We can use the agent as a way to create a case to the seller, by advising the agent of the reasons why your offer might be at the place it is. When the agent relays this information to the client, it can move things along.
• Most first time buyers tend to not have everything in place when they look to purchase. An agent wants the easiest transaction possible, and allowances can be made if their job is made simpler.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Ultimately you always need to be involved with the estate agent'

'It's a good time for investors to look for ways to nurture their relationships'

'You're trying to have foresight on the relationship with the agent'

Mark Winship is joined by Claire Saunders from Cashflow Leasing, experts in Lease Finance Solutions helping companies acquire assets to operate their business.

Claire talks to Mark about the incredible business she's built, whereby she allows landlords to lease furniture for their properties, as well as asset leasing itself, and her own involvement in the property world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Asset leasing acts as a way of helping landlords to obtain the necessary furniture or equipment through leasing options, meaning that properties can be adequately stocked in readiness for tenancy.
• We must never discount the power of building a great team that can support us. Being able to leverage tasks and to those with equal or higher skill sets can alleviate stress and free up time.
• The big benefits of asset leasing to property owners is that their own cash does not need to be used, as well as being 100% tax efficient.
• The asset lease model alleviates stresses that might be caused by factors such as storage and transportation, as well as exorbitant costs of furnishing to a quality degree.

 BEST MOMENTS

'The best way of marketing is word of mouth'

'It's a good tool in the toolbox that'll allow you to build quickly'

'The barrier for a lot of people is upfront capital'

In this episode of the This Property Life podcast, Caroline Claydon is joined by Sarah Blaney to discuss the pros and cons of working with angel investors in the property business. They delve into the benefits for angel investors, how to find them, and how to structure agreements and interest rates. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Angel investors are private individuals with capital to lend to property investors. They are typically high net worth individuals who have money that is not being used effectively.

Finding angel investors is possible by networking and sharing your investment opportunities with others. It's important to approach them with a win-win mindset, showing them how their investment can benefit your business.

The structure of the agreement with angel investors can vary depending on the needs and preferences of both parties. This includes the amount of investment, the interest rate, and the repayment terms.

Interest rates for angel investors can range from 5% to 12%, depending on the market conditions and the specific project. It's important to offer a competitive rate that aligns with the risk and return of the investment.

Building relationships with angel investors is crucial for long-term success. Trust and credibility are key factors in attracting and retaining angel investors, and repeat investments are common when a strong relationship has been established.

BEST MOMENTS

"You're not doing them a favour. You're doing them the favour. It's a complete win-win situation." 

"There's so much safety built into [property deals] because we have surveys done, we understand what the valuations are." 

"This is a people business and to build relationships." 

"We are quite picky about who we will do business with." 

"Start your money raising pretty much on day one… building your credibility and showing that you are doing this professionally."

This week, Mark Winship revisits his conversation with Alex and Blair Collie, a father-and-son team who operate Barras Property, with a particular focus on Rent-To-Buy, and how this strategy has taken them to new heights in 2020.

Alex and Blair also discuss the many highlights of working as a family unit, and how to combat negativity on social media.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many enter the world of property investment in the hopes of providing some sort of nest egg for the future. Property is one of the surest ways in which to provide this passive income throughout life.
• Property investment allows us to take control of our own destinies instead of relinquishing that control to someone else. Knowledge and determination are the keys to unlocking this destiny.
• There are so many different strategies out there to allow us to acquire and monetise property. Many are not aware of these various methods. Education is paramount.
• Many are turned down for various reason when it comes to mortgages. This leads to a feeling of being trapped. Rent-To-Buy is a way of releasing people from that feeling and allowing them the freedom to become homeowners.

BEST MOMENTS

'I never thought I would that this would become an accelerated plan, and that I would become a property investor'

'I understand how to leverage time, other people's money and knowledge and network. Education was absolutely everything'

'They have the pride that this is their home'

'It's amazing how many genuine opportunities there are to help people'

Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon and Ryan Rogers, to discuss investing in Scotland - from the many attractive opportunities that can be had north of the border, as well as the key differences you need to be aware of when it comes to maximising your profits and investment potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a dramatic rise in uniformity between properties in Scotland, but there is also a marked demand for social housing. Investing in flats and apartments can mean solid rental returns.
• Gazumping is allowed in Scotland, but it is greatly frowned upon and can have a huge impact upon your reputation.
• Exchanging contracts and completing is not done in Scotland - instead missives are signed. This becomes a legally biding contract from which neither party can extract themselves.
• The entire process of doing the deal is far more streamlined and takes weeks rather than the months we are used to in England.

 BEST MOMENTS

'There's a very strong demand for social housing in Scotland'

'You can literally buy property in Scotland while sitting on a beach on the other side of the world'

'You can put in verbal offers without a solicitor'

'Just get that process started. Once the offer's accepted, then go and chat to your solicitor'

AI can provide valuable information and insights to help in making informed decisions, such as property investment locations, rental rates, and investment strategies.

While AI can be a powerful tool, it is essential to remember that it does not replace the need for boots-on-the-ground research, talking to people, and taking action in property investment.

Embracing AI tools, learning how to use them effectively, and continuously adapting to new technologies can help property investors stay ahead in the industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think it's real powerful. Property investors are saving a load of time on things like marketing, like you described. But you can be really simple." 

"It's not going to help you implement it, haven't you? You've got to get off your bum, get out there." 

"I use it all the time. I use it now instead of Google. I don't really Google anything anymore." 

"Time efficiency is huge. And for me, in the hotel hospitality industry, the cost savings are immense." 

"Hopefully, for those who haven't tried using AI in their property business, or in any business, hopefully, we've inspired you to just go on and start that process."

The term "angel investors" is used constantly in the world of property investing, but what are they, and more importantly, how can you make them a part of your investing journey? In this episode, Caroline and James tell you everything you need to know.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Angel investors don't tend to come to you. You have to get out there and find them for yourself. Once you do, your property journey will be dramatically accelerated.
• Angel investors are looking for ways to make their money work harder for them. We, as property investors, can offer a far better return than traditional banks or interest rates.
• The world of money is on everyone's mind right now due to the cost of living and the fragile economy. People are actively seeking help.
• You must treat angel investors as joint venture partners. You must look to create a win win situation for both you and your investor.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Private investor is a much better way to describe them'

'They're looking for a safer way to get their money working as well'

'Now is a fantastic time to be doing this'

'You're actually offering a service they desperately need'

Mark Winship is joined by Jill Green, to talk about mindset, mental strength, and why breaking out of your comfort zone might just unlock the key to impactful and lasting success in your property journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We must be open to new challenges and start become comfortable with being more uncomfortable. If we resist change then we grow far more slowly.
• If you stay in your comfort zone, you won't do anything. We must remember that taking the leap into property is a step outside of our comfort zone in the first place.
• No journey is perfect. It is okay to hit a challenge and take time to overcome it. Also, we can take this journey in the company of other, more experienced minds. Never be afraid to ask for help.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We're always pushing ourselves to move on to the next strategy'

'You need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable'

'Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer'

In this episode, Nick and Caroline delve into the topic of couples working together in business while maintaining romance.

They discuss the importance of having a shared vision and goals as a couple, drawing from their own experiences in property investing. The conversation touches on the challenges of balancing work and romance, as well as strategies for communication and alignment in relationships where one partner may not be fully on board with the property business

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Maintaining a shared vision and goals as a couple is crucial for working together in business and keeping the romance alive.
• Communication dates, where couples set aside time to talk about feelings and personal matters, can help strengthen the relationship.
• Personality differences can complement each other in a partnership, leading to successful outcomes in property investing.
• It is possible to pursue property investing even if one partner is not actively involved, as long as there is support and alignment in the life plan.
• Networking and being part of a like-minded community can provide valuable support and guidance for individuals pursuing property investing on their own.

BEST MOMENTS

"It's very challenging though to actually remain a married couple with the romance as well as all the business and talking vision and all of that stuff."

"I think the message here is very clear that you can absolutely do this on your own, without your partner helping you or hindering you in some cases. And equally, you can get the partnership aligned, ultimately, if the vision is in the similar vein."

Mark Winship and his wife, Caroline, discuss their latest venture together - a hotel development - and the many insights and nuggets of wisdom they've accumulated through taking the project from the deal stage to operation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Harnessing the power of a team is essential in getting the best from a deal. Other people have strengths that all add up to a more efficient, powerful force for each deal you make.
• You always achieve more if you do your due diligence before you embark on a deal. Identifying your target market is the key to maximising the potential of a deal.
• It's entirely possible to complete a deal without using any of your own money. This is the power of networking, of meeting with investors who are looking for a healthier return than they can get from the high street.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We understood from the get-go, what our target market was going to be'

'It's so important to visit - to walk these places and get a feel for them'

'Not a penny of our own money went into the purchase of this property'

In this episode Ben Green discusses the property strategy he is using to drive his passion for giving back to the community and help those who most need it

The assisted and supported living strategy involves buying for demand and working with local authorities to provide homes for those who need it most and this is a great opportunity to hear about Ben’s experiences and the many elements that need to be understood and worked with to achieve successful leases that support those who need help the most

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The key is to find strong covenants the good leases that the investment funds will buy
• The people who live in our houses need ongoing support so you need to be very clear about what you are doing and aren’t doing
• There is your exit, your housing association partner and the care partners and the local authority and NHS element
• The front end work is intensive but we’ve been able to build leases that are 10-15 years long
• The local authority commissioner needs to support and sign off on the property, the money is coming from local authority housing benefit
• Our housing association is ultimately our tenant so we have to complete the property to their standards and they will give us a lease
• The tenants care package is completely separate and we are not involved in this
• The housing association partner will have a service level agreement with the care partner
• We have a funding panel in place that understand there is an institutional exit for these properties
• There are commercial valuers who have expertise and understand this market
• We had it over fully compliant and then the housing association take over the compliance
• There are many pieces to the jigsaw and the challenge is bringing all the parts together
• From a funding view it can be a far more secure tenancy if it’s set up in the right way

BEST MOMENTS

‘There’s a lot of good to be done in the sector and we spent a lot of time initially putting together the jigsaw pieces’

‘The reason we have a separate housing association, a separate care partner is to make sure our tenants are looked after’

‘We have to understand the people we are housing and every individual will have a different package. Its demand led’

Caroline Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss various questions and topics related to property investment and management, covering issues such as handling auctions, dealing with severe down valuations from lenders, valuing HMOs, regulations in the serviced accommodation market, and window furnishings for rental properties.

Caroline also shares updates on her upcoming co-working space projects and the challenges of securing financing for unique ventures.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When participating in auctions, it is important to have the necessary deposit money ready for each lot you bid on. If you lose the bid, the money will be redeposited back into your account.
• If you experience a severe down valuation from a lender, contesting it may not be successful. It is often more effective to start a new finance process with a different lender that uses a different surveyor.
• Valuing an HMO can vary depending on location, lender, and other factors. It is important to consult with other landlords in the area and work closely with your broker to understand the valuation process.
• When dealing with a property that has a strong odour, using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar can help remove the smell

BEST MOMENTS

"There are enough deals to be had under normal buying conditions where you don't need to have those deposits sat there."

"I think take a step back and make sure that you're really talking to your broker. Try a couple of different brokers."

"I think people often ask when it's your first one and you don't have a recipe of what you did last time."

"I think it's just being a little bit more flexible, I guess. And that's one thing about being a small operator."

Mark Winship is joined by Asaad Tariq to discuss the pros and cons in investing in industrial warehouse and storage space strategy - a strategy that is extraordinarily niche, but which if handled correctly can prove incredibly successful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The industrial market is one of the most bulletproof around, and is affected way less than residential in many cases. This alone makes it a powerful strategy.
• With the rise of eCommerce and the shift in the way we shop for goods, there has been an exponential increase in demand for storage space and warehousing facilities.
• The biggest factor in commercial is that it doesn't matter if you're new, a serious investor, or an angel investor - if your money is put into industrial or commercial, you always need to make sure your debt-to-charge ratio is over 25%.

 BEST MOMENTS

'They need warehousing. Their sellers need warehousing. We're there to supply that'

'We're basically piggybacking off these big boys!'

'If the deals work, success will come to you'

In this podcast episode, Caroline Claydon is joined by Andrea Carrington to discuss various aspects of the property industry during International Women's Month. Andrea shares insights into her property business, including buying properties for herself and sourcing deals for clients. She talks about the challenges and successes she faces in the market, particularly focusing on HMOs and social housing. The conversation also delves into the timeframes for securing deals, the importance of building relationships with builders, and the challenges faced by women in a male-dominated industry

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Consider starting with buy-to-lets before moving into social housing or HMOs to build a strong foundation for your property investment journey.
• Embrace a mindset of confidence and assertiveness to navigate through challenges in a male-dominated industry, such as dealing with old-school landlords or patronising builders.
• Don't hesitate to leverage the support of others, whether it's finding a safe person to accompany you to meetings or seeking advice and encouragement from experienced investors.
• Focus on changing the internal dialogue to boost confidence and overcome self-doubt, remembering that growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone.

BEST MOMENTS

"I'm getting calls pretty much every day from different charities asking if I've got some stock for them, because there just isn't enough."

"I love the viewings, I love the hustle, I love the networking, I love all of the aspects. Because I just, it's just my thing."

"I think possibly leveraging off someone else time or space or whatever it is that you need. I think that's why yesterday I met that one of our students when she was like, because she's doing it on her own."

"Last week, I can't, you know, I'm not good at raising money. You won't be because you've just told yourself you're not."

With so many varying opinions about the property market, it can be difficult to know when exactly to take the leap and start investing. In this episode Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon to bust the myths, and discuss the best time for you to start on your property journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Recessions and crashes are often the product of the media themselves. By instilling a negative belief in the populace, they cause the problems to occur.
• The worst time to buy isn't when prices are rising. It is when the market has peaked, but this can often only be seen in retrospect.
• The basic principles of investing will work in any market climate. We need to buy, add value, and then leverage this new value to generate a profit.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It's very noisy in the marketplace'

'Even if the market is going up, that doesn't make it a bad time to buy'

'The people that want to hear the predictions are the ones who aren't doing it'

Sarah Blaney interviews James Horgan, a seasoned investor who successfully manages a full-time job, a young family, and investments in both in and out of his local area. James shares his focus on investing in Wales, discussing the strong demand for rental housing and the unique opportunities and challenges presented by the Welsh government's regulations.

He also talks about his latest project, a closed hotel that he plans to convert into a smart hotel/apart hotel, catering to mountain bikers and tourists visiting the Brecon area.

• Leveraging a team is essential for success in property investing. There is great value to be found in building relationships and working with others who can contribute their expertise and skills to different aspects of the business.

Jamese also mentions other resources such as podcasts, YouTube channels, and property magazines that provide valuable information and updates on the industry.

In this podcast episode, we talk to Dan, Director of Your Save Management, who shares his journey in the property industry, starting from his teenage years when he initially got into property investment.

Dan discusses his experiences with various property strategies, including rent to HMO and service accommodation, and emphasises the importance of work ethic, integrity, and reputation in achieving long-term success in the industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building a strong reputation through honesty, integrity, and delivering on promises is crucial for long-term success in the property industry.
• Traits such as a strong work ethic, a willingness to do whatever it takes, and a focus on helping others are essential for success and longevity in the industry.
• Success in the industry comes from solving people's problems, which leads to long-term relationships and financial rewards.
• Your Stays offers comprehensive service accommodation management services to help property owners maximize income and reduce management headaches.

BEST MOMENTS

“The biggest advice I'd give around that subject is that your first couple of years is so incredibly difficult to get off the ground if you're starting with very little capital."

"I think the glory days of opening something up, chucking it on one of the portals and sitting back and watching that money roll in, that was a short time frame."

"If you can solve someone's problem, then there's longevity in that and everything else will come along as a result of it."

Mark Winship is joined by Jordan Kynoch to discuss the issue of saturated markets. Many in the mainstream media are proclaiming that certain markets are now saturated, and in this episode, Mark and Jordan discuss what this means from an investor point of view, how to stand out in a market, and how to diversify your portfolio to mitigate against the risks of changing conditions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Market saturation is a buzz-phrase that puts many off when it comes to investment areas. But there are always strategies that can be used if regulations arise from councils wishing to push back against saturation.
• Diversifying your portfolio and deploying varying strategies, will allow you to circumvent many of the issues arising from saturation.
• Investors want to gain confidence from knowing that other people in the area are using the same strategy. But at the same time, we don't want to feel as though we're entering an area with this, too late.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Saturation is something to be aware of but it doesn't scare me or worry me'

'I've diversified my portfolio quite a lot across the types of strategies I'm doing'

'Do your research, and don't take someone's word for it'

Caroline Claydon talks to Andrea Carrington, one of the most renowned mentors and trainers for Property Wealth System, about the ways in which you can operate in the UK housing sector from overseas.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Guidance is the key to international investing success. Use the mentorship of those who can help you to understand the market you wish to operate within.
• You do not need to live in the country in which you wish to invest. It's more important to have a clear understanding of what you wish to achieve by doing so.
• You do not need your own money in order to start investing. Find investors and guarantee a return that works for both of you.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We're all about the international angle'

'There are quite a few challenges, but they are all fixable'

'Having the right guidance is key'

'It's the company that creates the credit profile'

Caroline Claydon talks to Charlie Sullivan, who made great success in property for one reason - to create time and build a flexible life, allowing him to be far more present for his family. Charlie discusses the value of time, and why property is the best way to make sure we're there for the people who count in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Life doesn't have to be a series of unfulfilling jobs designed to make others happy. There is real value in striking out for yourself and making your own dreams come true.
• Tomorrow is never guaranteed. It's important to value each day, especially when it comes to those we love. Property allows us to spend far more time with them.
• We are often not as time poor as we like to think. Analyse your actual days and you will be surprised at how much time you actually have to make your ambitions happen.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We had that massive reason - we wanted to sack the boss'

'Tomorrow is not guaranteed'

'We're not really tired, we just get a bit lazy sometimes, that's all'

Mark Winship is joined by Michelle Wales to bust another commonly held myth about property investing. Many seem to believe that they can properly equip themselves with all the knowledge they need by simply visiting YouTube, but as the team explain, there's far more to property knowledge than we may initially believe...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Much of the comments and advice on social media, are to the effect that formal education is not necessary when it comes to property investing. This is an outdated viewpoint.
• Depending on your ambitions in property, simple tips and guidelines are definitely available through common means. But for the more specialist education, it is imperative that quality education is obtained.
• Freely available information is always best viewed as supplemental - a guiding beacon towards more quality guidance.
• Regulations, guidelines and legal matters are persistently evolving. Social media postings and YouTube videos tend to remain posted long after the information is out of date, potentially leading to trouble for you in the long run, should you adhere to it.

 BEST MOMENTS

'If you want to grow and scale a business as a professional property investor, then it takes it to another realm'

Nick Claydon interviews Gemma Russell, a successful property investor and therapist. Gemma shares her journey in the property industry, from starting with Property Wealth System to flipping houses and running service accommodation. She discusses the challenges she has faced, including dealing with difficult guests and overcoming rejection. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Staying consistent with daily actions and tasks is crucial for success in property investing. Even when faced with rejection or setbacks, it's important to keep going and maintain a consistent effort.
• Property investing often involves facing challenges and obstacles, such as rejection and objections. Developing resilience and the ability to overcome these obstacles is essential for long-term success.
• The property market is constantly changing, and being able to adapt and pivot is important. Whether it's changing investment strategies or adjusting to market conditions, being flexible and adaptable is crucial.
• Staying motivated and positive in the face of challenges requires keeping the big picture in mind. Whether it's financial goals, providing for family, or leaving a legacy, having a clear vision of what you're working towards can help maintain motivation.

BEST MOMENTS

"Nobody wants to feel that nobody wants to have that nobody's motivated to go like that. I cannot wait to go out today and get five nos. I can't wait to go out today and get all my offers rejected. I'm so excited for it. Nobody ever feels like that." 

"I think the ability to stay consistent… that consistency, even if it's just 30 minutes a day, that you're doing the same thing over and over again, eventually it will work."

"It's what I try and teach, you know, all students that the country assistant I work with is, it's focus on the actions, and the results will take care of themselves." - 

"So that consistency of keeping that action up is so vital, because now he's, you know, a year down the line. And he's in the position where he's sourcing properties left bank centre, because he did so much work."

Mark Winship, Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza discuss all things sourcing and working with sourcing agents, including how and when they should be used, how to find a good one, and how to source on your own deals to other people.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Experiences with sourcing agents are known to be mixed. Regulations have tightened the way they can operate, and new investors are better protected against high fees and terms and conditions.
• A good quality sourcing agent will be finding you off-market deals as opposed to simply plucking properties for sale from a website and negotiating on your behalf.
• Deal sourcing is the art of not just finding a property for sale, but doing the due diligence involved in turning it into a viable deal that can make you money. It's about seeing the potential in a property and packaging that potential into the initial sale

 BEST MOMENTS

'The more you progress, the better quality deal you're then looking for'

'There's a difference between a deal, and a property for sale'

'Remember that sourcing a cash-generating operation for them'

In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to property investor, Jesper Frederiksen, who discusses the ways in which he has made the most of former bank buildings, turning them into residential units that produce huge wins for his property portfolio.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In 2021, new measures were introduced, designed to transform high streets into a mixture of retail and residential. As banks are shuttering, there is now potential to turn these large unused units into housing.
• Bridging finance was sorely affected in the wake of COVID lockdowns, meaning rates changed dramatically. This has thankfully tempered and settled now.
• Pick your strategy and stick with it, rather than changing tack halfway. This will ensure that you are resolute and fixed upon a specific goal.
• Never discount the power of an effective power team. They can help you out when the challenges mount up, and see you through most setbacks.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It was challenging, but we stuck to it'

'Have a good team!'

'Bringing an old building back to life brings us a lot of satisfaction'

This week, the team present a very special audio version of a Facebook Live Event from 2021, in which Rick Blaney talks to Chris O'Hare about a broad range of property investing-related topics, with questions submitted live from an audience keen to hear the answers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you're a driven person, then nothing on earth will stop you from achieving your goals. Property investing allows you to create life on your own terms.
• In property it's wise to have a "why" - a purpose that pushes you on to do better and achieve more. Without a true "why", you can easily lose focus.
• Consistency is key. Small steps each day, that move you incrementally towards your goals, are what will make or break your property journey. But this requires discipline.
• Make sure you're not just focussing on a single strategy. Spread your interests and take advantage of different strategies. This will mitigate the risks that may arise when a single strategy faces challenge.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Property has totally changed my life'

'You'll find all shapes and sizes when it comes to property investing'

'You have to follow the system, and you will get there'

'It's all about risk mitigation'

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza review the last few months in property - the challenges they've faced and overcome, and the positivity and opportunity being sought as a result.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Property investing is an adventure every day, and involves not just purchases, but also refurbishment and lots of problem-solving!
• Just because your plans get to a committee, doesn't necessarily mean that you're out of the woods. A thousand factors can go wrong.
• There's always a slight risk when you find a good deal. Someone involved could swoop in and take it from under your nose. This has happened and will continue to happen.

 BEST MOMENTS

'So much has happened in such a short period of time'

'As property investors, we know that things rarely go to plan'

'I can talk about it. I'm going to need some therapy first'

Mark Winship is joined by Natalie D'Souza to bust another commonly heal property myth - this time that lettings agents are a waste of time and money. As Mark and Natalie discuss, choosing the right agent to manage your property is a crucial component in helping you to achieve your life goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Lettings agents generally come with their own skill-sets, personal to the area in which your property lies. Therefore, they could consider methods and resources that may be unavailable to you.
• If we do have a negative experience with an agent, it's always worth remembering that everything in property is a learning curve. Don't be put off - simply keep looking!
• Many are put off by the costs of a letting agent, but it is far better to spend a little of your profits and live a happier life than burn ourselves out.
• As accommodation has grown in quality, so too have tenants' expectations. We must weigh up the pros and cons of being constantly on call. Lettings agents remove this pressure.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Everything in property is a learning curve'

'You have to think about why you're doing this'

'10% plus VAT is a small price to pay for peace of mind'

Mark Winship is joined by Sarah Blaney, for a discussion all about hotels, and the ups and downs of this exciting property strategy, as well as operational challenges, and what they both love about playing "real life Monopoly"

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Quality means the world in hotel investing strategy. Repeat business is essential in creating a concern that runs almost automatically, plus it saves on the time you'll have to spend in attracting new clients.
• In order to get the best out of any property strategy, you need to surround yourself with people who've been there and done it.
• Services that advertise hotels are invaluable, so never be afraid of costs involved. They are worth every penny in helping people to find you.

 BEST MOMENTS

'To have that repeat business is really important'

'Expectations of service are higher when it comes to a hotel'

'Word of mouth marketing seems to play as much more of a factor'

Caroline Claydon is joined by property investor, Mandy Allsopp, who talks about her property journey, why flipping properties has become her go-to strategy, the power of education and experience, and how she has successfully transformed her life into one that allows her to set her own rules in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Property is one of the most well-respected and proven forms of investment, and has become something of an aspirational way to grow and build money.
• The best way of learning about which strategies work for you, is to jump in and see. Certain strategies won't be for everyone.
• Never discount the power of education. Keeping your knowledge base at a tip top level will allow you to pounce on any opportunity.
• Angel investors should always be well managed, kept informed through transparency, and agreements set in specially designed contracts. This prevents any awkwardness and allows them to be able to feel like more of a part of the deal.

 BEST MOMENTS

'I was quite keen to tap into my love of property'

'My love of property goes way back'

'It gave me the confidence to make a real go of it'

This week, Mark Winship introduces another deal diary, this time focussing upon a Rent-To-Serviced Accommodation project, the insights of which could well inspire those out there who wish to make an income from property, but who don't necessarily have a great deal of money to invest.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rent-to-SA is essentially a Rent-To-Rent strategy where a property is rented from a private landlord for a sum each month. This property is then operated as serviced accommodation.
• The Rent-to-SA allows anyone, regardless of financial capability, to begin investing and working int he property market.
• Never discount the power of networking and talking to others. Opportunities can arise from unexpected places, people and conversations.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It can be a fantastic strategy'

'This shows the power of networking'

'Talking people is where you uncover opportunities'

Mark Winship is joined by Ryan Rogers, to talk about why there's no need to panic in the wake of the Conservative mini-budget, as well as advice to investors about how best to proceed in the current market without being too distracted by the chaos created by the media.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When upheavals occur in the market, it's always wise to stop and wait for the ensuing chaos to die down before making any rash decisions. Often, we discover that the panic is just that, and things aren't as bad as they seem.
• We are looking to be heading into a recession, but that doesn't always mean negativity for investors. This can provide opportunities for positive investment.
• Take care of the things that are definitely within your control, always stick to the actual facts rather than speculation, and look at potential savings in your portfolio.

 BEST MOMENTS

'We're not reacting to the panic'

'If we do have to pivot on certain strategies, that's fine'

'Take the fear out of it, focus on the facts, and go back to what you can control'

James D'Souza discusses the Renter's Reform Bill 2023 - what it means, how it might affect you, and what to expect when it comes into force.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• This was first raised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto, with the aim of creating a fairer rental market for all, balancing the power between tenants and landlords.
• Rents can only be increased once per year, must be a fair figure in line with inflation, and must be a justified increase.
• Ombudsmans will be settling disputes from now on, at a cost to landlords. This forces landlords to prevent such measures being taken in the first place.

 BEST MOMENTS

'Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at what those changes are'

'We want to be fair as landlords and give our tenants good homes'

'We should only provide homes we would wish to live in'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Lindsey Kane, who designed and built a property business to give herself and her father the freedom to make their own choices in life, as well as security for the future. Lindsey talks about how she turned her experience into practical use, and how she is now following her passions into other areas of business and investing as a result.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a power to be found in diversity. If we're stuck doing the same things day in and day out, then it can lead to a mental malaise. This is one of the main reasons why people make the leap to property investing.
• When we take charge of our own destiny, it does not just lead to financial benefits. It also gives us confidence and imbues us with power.
• When we put ourselves into uncomfortable positions, it can make us feel awkward, but this sensation will pass. On the other side of that awkwardness comes real growth.
• Make sure that your team works as a group and with the sole aim of collectively succeeding. When you yoke the strengths of many, you empower each one of you.

 BEST MOMENTS

'It's given us the confidence to do many other things'

'I enjoyed getting out there and meeting people'

'I wanted flexibility. I wanted to build something for myself'

'If I'd know then what I know now, it would have changed my life'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Tom Lewis, a professional tennis coach who began investing in property so as to provide for his future, so as to diversify his income streams, and most importantly in order to cease trading his precious time for money.

After starting in buy-to-let, Tom now operates one of the most successful service accommodation businesses in the midlands. Tom discusses the ups and downs of SA as a strategy, how to build a power team you can rely upon, and how managing properties for other landlords has allowed him to scale quickly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of the best ways to maximise your returns on serviced accommodation is to examine the offerings of other providers in your area and identify the markets that are not being served.
• Once your SA business is up and running, another potential revenue stream can come in using your team to manage properties for other landlords.
• If serviced accommodation is your chosen strategy, then it may be wise to focus upon a single area or zone, so as to best ensure that logistically, each property can be served effectively.
• Feedback is not just given on the property itself. An important part of serviced accommodation is the service element. We must make sure the service is memorable and kept to a certain standard.

 BEST MOMENTS

'I began looking to property as something of a pension plan'

'We wanted to be able to have complete control of the experience'

'When you get a rating on Airbnb it's part based on the property and part based on the team'

'It's called serviced accommodation for a reason'
