In Today's podcast, Mark speaks about having limiting beliefs and self-hope in yourself when working with investors.
Do not underestimate the power social media has, if you do not use social media currently implement it into your daily routine and upload on there. Documenting your property journey is crucial, it can bring so many new opportunities from other potential investors.
To get out of working a 9-5, and commit to working in property full time you need to be confident enough with yourself first.
Having self-belief and hope that you will be successful is sometimes the only thing getting between you and your dream to join property full-time.
A good method to attract potential investors and others who are willing to work together is by having testimonials, Once people come across your page and see that you have positive feedback on your personality, work ethic, and who you are as a person then they would be even more comfortable working and connecting with you.
Always try to pitch to potential investors because the worst they can say is no, and if they do say no ask them if they know anybody because most of the time they will know someone.

00:34:21

Building Your Brand and Social Media Audience – How Will It Help You
00:21:35
In today's podcast, Mark discusses the importance of building your social media presence.
He emphasises the significance of being consistent and persistent when posting on social media. Why is it important? Posting frequently on social media allows investors and landlords to check you out, which could open up many opportunities for you.

In today's podcast, Mark invites Louise Wynne to talk about the importance of interior design in real estate.
Louise shares her experience of how staging properties has resulted in higher sale prices. For instance, she mentions that when she staged a one-bedroom apartment for sale, the estate agent valued the property at £25,000 more than the initial valuation.
Louise emphasizes the significance of staging houses before putting them up for sale. She believes that staging enhances the aesthetics of a property, and people are willing to pay more for a well-staged house. Therefore, staging can help maximize the return on investment when selling properties.
Mark adds that investing in good interior design for a property attracts better clients who are likely to take better care of the property. In contrast, renting out a rundown and tired property would do the opposite. This highlights the importance of interior design, not just for selling properties but also for renting them out.

In the latest podcast, Mark discusses the future predictions regarding mortgage and interest rates.
Mark advises being cautious before signing any deal with a low interest rate as there may be hidden fees involved. Banks can implement this strategy, which can surprise people.
To obtain better deals for your mortgage, Mark suggests avoiding high street banks and instead consulting independent brokers who can offer better rates.

In today's podcast, Mark talks about places that are not good for investing in property.
He mentions that it is difficult to set up property investments in Scotland because the government wants everyone to be a landlord, which makes it hard to be profitable there.
Another place Mark suggests staying away from is London due to how expensive properties are there and because of how there is already added value there.
When it comes to being a savvy investor, it's important to look for people who need help or have problems. These types of properties are more likely to offer a bigger return, as they may be run-down or offered at a discount. Avoid investing in properties that have already had added value because this will result in lower returns.
Before investing in a particular property, make sure to do your due diligence. If you are following up on a property that a deal sourcer suggested, make sure the numbers add up. If the deal is finalized and you discover hidden costs or something about the property that doesn't add up, it could end up costing you money.

Interest Only or Repayment Mortgage – Buy to Let Property
00:12:40
In today's podcast, Mark explains whether it's better to opt for an interest-only mortgage or a repayment one.
Mark suggests that rather than investing in a single property, it's better to save money every month and invest in multiple properties.
As a landlord, purchasing a rental property is easier than a residential one, as the bank may require you to pay off a residential property over 25 years. If you stop working, they may be hesitant to approve your mortgage.
However, with a rental property, the bank considers the tenants responsible for paying the mortgage, increasing the chances of getting approved. Mark also highlights that repayment mortgages are suitable for longevity, while interest-only mortgages help build cash flow, which is why he prefers that more, but it is always good to diversify

In today's podcast, Mark interviews a special guest, Jonny Dunn from DNA Financial Solutions.
Starting with the market updates, this month's inflation rate is at 4%, which has increased by 0.1% compared to December's update. Lenders have reduced their rates by 0.5%-1%.
Mark suggests that people who are new to the property game often think they need an investor, but with some deals, they can be done without one. He recommends approaching DNA Financial Solutions for advice on the best route to take and whether it would be worth the investment.
Currently, the product transfer market for residential properties has dropped below 3%, with some as low as 2.74%. However, they often come with a catch - a 4%+ arrangement fee that catches many people out. This way, lenders are making their margins back through that.
To make the most out of your investment, it is important to speak to a regulated advisor.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses the potential return of the government's policy of handing out 99% mortgages.
The government is considering this policy to attract first-time buyers, especially with the 2024 elections approaching. However, Mark warns of the risks associated with this policy, which could lead to a "Housing Bubble" in the market and result in a significant hike in house prices.
Currently, a 5% deposit is required to buy a house, but due to the high cost of living and the state of the economy, it has become increasingly challenging for people to do these schemes.
Mark also points out the possibility of a situation similar to the 2008 market crash, where the government offered 100% mortgages. This resulted in banks lending out so much money that they had none left forcing them to shut down.
Mark predicts that if this potential policy is implemented, it could create difficulties and stress for the next generation as houses become more expensive due to supply running out.

Mortgages Rates Dropping & A Possible Mortgages War Commencing
00:14:56
In today's podcast, Mark discusses how mortgage rates are dropping due to high competition among lenders as Nationwide has announced its lowest mortgage rates at 3.84%.
As property investors, it is important to keep up with the latest news and trends to see where the best offers are and when the best time to invest in property is. Mark predicts that the future is going to be interesting as rates are dropping however with the government potentially introducing a new policy it could go the opposite way really fast.
It is essential to seek financial advice before committing to a mortgage so that you know you haven't put yourself in a trap. The mortgage rate has consecutively gone up 14 times since December 2021, making it even more difficult, especially for those on an interest-only mortgage.

In today's podcast, Mark talks about inflation and whether it will return.
Although inflation has come down, prices remain high and many people are struggling to afford daily essentials. Prices have risen by an average of 4% since December 2022 and will continue to rise if inflation remains positive.
The big question on everyone's mind is whether prices in the UK will ever come back down. Mark believes that they will never return to their previous levels. Therefore, it is essential to have multiple sources of income, and earning money every month from properties is a great way to achieve this.
Unemployment has increased since interest rates spiked, with over 200,000 people losing their jobs between May and July last year. Mark emphasises the importance of getting into the property market as soon as possible, as delaying it could be too late.
UK households hold around £22bn of unpaid essential bills, and mortgage payments have only increased, resulting in higher rents. This has led to an increase in the cost of living, which can only be resolved when rates come back down, and wages increase.
What will you do to make a change? Are you willing to take risks? It all begins with you.

What Will a Labour Election Mean For The UK Housing Market?
00:18:38
In today's podcast, Mark discusses the upcoming elections and the potential impact on the property market if Labour is elected.
Mark emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals in the property industry, as this can prove helpful when facing challenges. pin has over 20,000 property investors who document their daily tasks so make sure you join the group.
If Labour wins the elections, they are considering introducing a bill that would allow tenants to refuse rent increases. In such cases, a panel would be created to decide whether the landlord's requested amount is justified and if the rent should be lowered or accepted.
Mark raises a valid point about tenants' responsibilities regarding property maintenance. For instance, issues such as dampness and condensation can arise due to tenants not opening windows, leaving heating on, etc. In such cases, shouldn't the tenants be responsible for fixing these problems since they are living there, and not the landlord?
Regardless of the election results, Mark believes that property investors should always stick to their ethical principles and focus on creating a win-win situation for both tenants and landlords. Fairness is essential, and property investors should aim to provide a good home for tenants creating a good environment and a healthy relationship with their tenants.

In todays podcast Mark discusses how to find deals on serviced accommodation.
Serviced accommodation has become increasingly popular in recent years, and more opportunities have arisen. However, it's important to ensure that renting out short-term stays is allowed in the contract.
Marketing is crucial when it comes to serviced accommodation. There are many ways to market your property, such as flyers, posters, social media, and more. The key is to get out there and speak to community members. By making yourself known, you'll increase your chances of getting the best possible opportunities so make sure you are getting out there.
It's also essential to speak to independent letting agents and see how they're doing. Ask them questions about the landlord's position, whether they're making good money and if they are struggling with anything. If you can assure them that you'll take care of the property and maintain it well, and let them know that they'll make more money with you than alone, you'll be more likely to secure a deal.
Practice is important too, don't expect a deal to come right away. It takes time, consistency, and patience to see results, so don't give up easily.

Renting out properties not only provides monthly rent but also capital growth for the property.

In the latest podcast episode, Mark shares valuable insights on how to fund your first property deal.
To begin with, it's crucial to have enough cash available as the deposit is typically 25%. However, additional costs, such as stamp duties, can increase this figure to around 30%.
Mark recommends seeking out independent mortgage brokers for better deals than those offered by high street banks. You can find them by attending Pin's 50+ meetings held across the UK, where you can meet many savvy investors.
A smart strategy is to take your property's equity out and invest it in more properties. Essentially, this allows one property to pay for the first, which is what most investors do to build up big portfolios.
It's also a good idea to approach family members who have savings sitting idle and ask them to invest in property. This can not only help you build an income but also add value to the investment.

Mark's podcast today features a special guest, Jonny Dunn, who works for DNA Financial Solutions.
According to Jonny, Buy To Let rates are currently at 3.6% when obtained through a LTD Company. However, keep in mind that even though rates are low, expect to pay high fees. Lenders need to make money too, so regardless of whether the rate is low or high, the arrangement fee is where they will catch you out. A lender can claim to have the best rate in the market, but they will recover the discount they offer by charging a fee.
To increase the value of your property, Jonny recommends investing in interior design, repainting the walls, and ensuring that both the interior and exterior of the property look good. You want the Valuer to appreciate your property so that it is worth much more than it would be if you didn't do these things.
Mark also advises that if you find a broker and a good deal, lock it in now. Delaying a deal will only cause you to miss out on potential rent and waste a lot of time.

In today's podcast, Mark delves into the latest developments surrounding short-term rentals.
A significant policy shift has been announced by the government, mandating planning permission for properties rented out for over 90 nights per year. This measure aims to curb the proliferation of short-term rentals, potentially intensifying the challenge for residential buyers grappling with escalating property prices.
Mark anticipates an influx of new rules and regulations, especially if obtaining planning permission to transition a property from a C3 residential planning class to a C5 class becomes more arduous, particularly under the potential implementation of Article 4.
The introduction of Article 4 signifies potential complications in converting property usage, presenting formidable obstacles in switching from one classification to another.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses the latest updates on the Spring Budget.
For higher-rate taxpayers, the capital gains tax has been reduced from 28% to 24%. This tax only applies to individuals who have purchased the property in their name. However, buying it under a LTD Company removes this tax.
VAT is a threshold; if you earn or profit £85,000 or more in your business, you are required to pay 20% on that amount. This threshold does not apply to landlords, but it does apply to businesses. It is better to stay below the threshold as you can still lead a comfortable life, and you would not lose a significant amount of money.
Previously, when purchasing a portfolio or a block of flats, landlords were exempted from paying stamp duty. Unfortunately, this exemption has been scrapped. Nevertheless, there are ways around this, such as buying properties under LTD companies. This way, you do not need to pay any stamp duty.

In today's podcast, Mark speaks about his Purchase Lease Options.
A Purchase Lease Option is a real estate agreement in which you purchase a property now but defer payment for a specified number of years. During this period, you pay a monthly fee that both parties have agreed upon. The best part of this agreement is that if you decide not to buy the property at the end of the contract, you are not obligated to do so.
Mark provides an example and highlights the significant advantage of this option. The monthly payments that you make will be deducted from the end price of the property. Furthermore, you both lock in a price at the beginning, so if the value of the property increases in the next 2-3 years, you will benefit from the capital gain, even though you have not paid for the property in full yet.
However this is not with all deals, this is an extra that the landlord agrees on so make sure they are a motivated seller.
There are always costs involved, and Mark stresses the importance of doing things correctly. He advises against using a contract that you find online and instead recommends setting aside some money for a solicitor to tailor the terms and conditions to the specific deal.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses the predictions for house prices in the year 2024.
Experts suggest that house prices have decreased by 8%. Consequently, banks are now offering more options for mortgages such as 100% mortgages for residential properties. If these mortgages become established, it will be difficult for house prices to go up.
Mark mentioned that investing in the property market when it is down can result in the best returns. Evidence suggests that people who invested in the market when it was down are now big in property. Therefore, there should not be any fear in the market, and people should not delay investing in property. This is a golden opportunity to invest, and once it is gone, it may not come back for a while.
Although the predictions for 2024 suggest a slight decline in the housing market, Mark believes that it is the best time for any savvy investor. However, it is essential to weigh the risks as each property is different.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses the best places to invest in the UK for 2024.
Although London set the trend for the decline in house prices, it remains the most expensive place to invest in. Data suggests that the average London tenant spends 40.2% of their income on rent, compared to the UK average of 28.4%.
Mark recommends Birmingham as one of the best places to invest in due to the increasing number of infrastructure and development projects in the area. The average rents in Birmingham have increased by 9% in the last year alone.
It is crucial to conduct thorough research before investing in any property, as each property has different costs and requirements.
Statistics from 2011 show that the average property price was £132,000. By 2021, this had risen to £210,000, indicating a substantial increase. However, the average price has only risen to £284,691 in 2023, highlighting the potential of investing in Birmingham.
Mark emphasises the importance of avoiding areas that have already reached their growth potential, such as London since you will be capped on making capital growth from those properties.

In today's podcast, Mark has invited a special guest, Jonny Dunn from DNA Financial Solutions, to provide an update on the market.
Since the last update, we had a mini budget and there have been slight alterations in the interest rate market, where 5-year fixed rates have only moved up by 0.1%.
Rates have remained consistent and have not fluctuated much, indicating confidence in the market, which is a good sign. As a result, more first-time investors are joining the property market with increased confidence and less nervousness.
It is no longer possible to offset the interest from your mortgage against your tax bill, which can result in a higher tax bill.
Jonny Dunn recommends ensuring that all properties are insured when doing Serviced Accommodation, as any mishap could lead to a significant bill.
One important point highlighted by Jon is that you need to ensure that your lenders permit the services that you are offering. With the advent of AI, lenders will soon be able to identify individuals who are renting out their properties on platforms such as Airbnb. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that your lenders allow you to offer such services.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses how to increase productivity and make the most out of each day.
It's easy for anyone to fall into procrastination and delay completing their objectives. But how can we avoid this?
To have a successful week, you need to ask yourself what you want to achieve. Mark suggests a great idea: plan out your week in advance and prioritise tasks to work on starting from the most important ones.
If you have a busy schedule, create a calendar so that you can keep track of what needs to be done, where, and when. Having a winning mindset is important, as it motivates you to complete more tasks efficiently and be more proactive in achieving your goals.
Remember, one bad day does not determine your entire week. Don't let a bad day bring down the rest of your week. Keep going, stay positive, and keep striving towards your goals.

If you are looking for business models with high cash flow, Buy-to-Lets may not be the best option.
HMOs could prove to be much better at generating income, but they would require a lot of time and effort due to multiple tenants living together.
Nevertheless, Buy-to-Let is still a good option as tenants usually sign a 12-month contract, which reduces the likelihood of any void periods. Furthermore, renters tend to treat the property as their own home, which leads to fewer issues compared to HMOs.
If you are satisfied with your current job and do not have the time to manage many people, then investing in buy-to-lets is still a good option. This is because you can still build capital growth over time on your property while earning consistent revenue each month.
Mark suggests that this is the best time to invest in single lets as they are currently generating a lot of profit. However, it is important to keep an eye out for upcoming legislation changes, as the government is planning to make some amendments.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses what makes a good deal.
Sometimes, when we look at opportunities, we can waste a lot of time and still not find a good deal. To avoid wasting time, we should look for problems in the property and determine how costly and serious they are.
Speed of implementation is crucial when seeing a good deal. Hesitating and delaying a deal can only harm us and give opportunities for others to buy it. Therefore, we should take action as soon as possible.
If we want to invest in any area, we should check if there is a strong rental demand. We should also ask ourselves how we can add value to the property and whether it will give us a high return on investment.
The best deals come from motivated sellers, but this does not mean we should take advantage of them. We should always look for an ethical win-win scenario where both parties are happy with the outcome.

In today's episode, Mark will be discussing how to earn a high income through serviced accommodations.
When done correctly, serviced accommodations can provide the highest return. To make sure you get it right, you'll first need to know which niche you are trying to attract, such as tourists, government workers, or families.
There are many different tax efficiencies to consider when engaging in serviced accommodations, such as claiming capital allowances. Always ensure that your properties are registered as a business to avoid getting a massive tax bill.
One essential thing to keep in mind is to make sure your mortgage broker allows serviced accommodations. If you have a lease, it's crucial to notify your lender. Transparency is key in business, so it's essential that your lender is aware of your plans to avoid any potential problems.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses the new changes in the leasehold to freehold system that the government is implementing.
The proposed laws aim to make it easier and more affordable for leaseholders to buy their freeholds. They also include extending the standard leasing extension terms to 990 years for both houses and flats.
These changes will significantly benefit leaseholders, allowing them to extend their leases and purchase their freeholds. As a result, their professional fees, such as solicitor fees, could also decrease.
Additionally, the government is considering granting comprehensive rights to homeowners on private and mixed estates. This will provide them with more information on the charges they pay and the ability to challenge unreasonable charges and have them removed.

Mark discusses the responsibilities of landlords in today's podcast.
If you have purchased a property with the intention of renting it out or using it for serviced accommodation, it is crucial to ensure that the property is adequately insured and has the correct mortgage.
One common mistake that landlords make is obtaining the wrong insurance, so it is important to have "Landlords Insurance" to ensure that you are adequately covered.
Landlords insurance covers a variety of things, such as loss of rental income, theft, fire damage, and many other risks. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that your property is insured appropriately.
The safety of tenants is of utmost importance, so it is essential to have fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors installed. Mark recommends joining the NRLA (National Residential Landlords Association) as they provide a checklist that landlords can use to ensure that they meet all the required safety regulations.

On Todays Podcast Mark discusses 4 ways on how to do Serviced Accommodations.
Firstly we have to make sure we are on-top and cover all the regulations. You can buy a property/flat and operate it as a Service Accommodation, however if you get it on a mortgage you have to ensure that you are allowed and have got permission from the mortgage broker to operate it as a Serviced Accommodation.
Do not cut corners and turn a blind eye to this just to save money as this could result in hefty fines and sanctions and also in most scenarios where the lender asks for the money back which means you would have to sell the property.
Do not buy a house cash unless you will be refinancing it, you need the cash the put as many deposits down which will help you grow and earn much faster.
One of the best cost effective ways is to do joint ventures, helping a busy landlord who has not enough time to manage the properties. You could offer an incentive where you only ask for your split once the landlords cost are cleared

In today's episode of the podcast, we have the privilege of hearing Anita's remarkable journey to becoming a successful property investor. Anita's story is not just about achieving financial success; it's a testament to the incredible power of determination and resilience in the face of adversity.
Anita's journey began with a bold move to the UK, where she arrived with limited English proficiency but an unwavering determination to carve out a successful life for herself. Despite the daunting challenges of navigating a new country and language, Anita refused to let her circumstances define her. Starting from the ground up, she took on the role of a cleaner, using every opportunity to immerse herself in the language and culture of her new home.
She also realised that to truly fulfill her dreams, she needed to equip herself with the skills and knowledge to excel in her chosen field. Through sheer perseverance and hard work, she embarked on a journey of self-improvement, eventually transitioning into the role of a quantity surveyor.

On today's podcast, Mark discusses the characteristics of a good property.
It is important to always have a thorough understanding of your numbers before making any deal. A deal cannot be considered good until you have double-checked the numbers and made sure they stack up. Ask yourself if the return on investment is what you were hoping for, and if not, re-evaluate your numbers.
One mistake that people often make is that they focus solely on the property and not the area it is located in. It is crucial to get a sense of the area and its amenities. Are there public transportation options nearby? Are there stores and other conveniences nearby? Do you feel comfortable in the area? If your answer is no to any of these questions, it is likely that your investment will not be profitable.
It is also important to consider your strategy and target market. Is there a demand for your strategy in the current market?
Joining online property groups and documenting your journey can help you network with others. You may find someone with a tenant who is a perfect fit for your property. This can lead to more efficient processes and faster results when necessary.

You Can Achieve Anything If you Want To, With Katie Harvey
00:41:48
In this episode of the podcast, Mark sits down with an upcoming property investor Katie Harvey, who shares her journey and insights into the world of property investment.
Katie's story is one of transformation and growth, as she embarked on her property investment journey five years ago when she was 17, focusing on rent-to-rent Houses in Multiple Occupations (HMOs). Over time, she has successfully scaled up her portfolio, leveraging her experiences and knowledge gained from her early endeavours.
A pivotal moment in Katie's journey came with her participation in the property mastermind accelerator, where she not only acquired practical skills but also gained the confidence needed to navigate the complex world of property investment. Through the accelerator program, Katie honed her strategic thinking, refined her negotiation skills, and developed a deeper understanding of market dynamics.
However, Katie emphasises that success in property investment isn't solely about expanding one's portfolio; it's also about cultivating the right mindset and investing in personal development. She highlights the importance of self-reflection, continuous learning, and mindset shifts in shaping one's success in the industry. By focusing on personal growth, investors can transform their perspectives, enhance their communication with landlords, and ultimately align their actions with their goals.
Katie's journey serves as a powerful reminder that while tangible assets are essential in property investment, intangible qualities such as mindset and self-development play a crucial role in achieving long-term success.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses strategies for addressing property-related challenges.
When evaluating properties, consider the desires and requirements of the owner. Understanding their needs allows you to identify appropriate solutions without exploiting the situation for personal gain, which is unethical.
Our approach should always prioritize integrity; we are problem solvers in the realm of property.
It's essential to ask probing questions and actively listen to understand the landlord's objectives. Moreover, ensure that any deal reached is mutually beneficial; fairness is paramount. If a particular deal doesn't align with your interests, consider packaging it for resale to someone it suits better.
Remember, there are no shortcuts to success. It requires dedication and effort to reap rewards in this field, but the payoff can be substantial in the long run.

Why Now Is The Best Time To Be A Property Investor
00:16:00
In today's podcast, Mark discusses why the current moment presents an optimal opportunity for property investment.
If your property generates consistent cash flow each month, you're insulated from the impact of a potential market downturn. Concerns arise primarily when poor cash flow or unfavorable deals force you into selling.
Some seasoned property investors are choosing to retire now, opting to capitalise on their investments after two decades or more in the industry. They may even be willing to accept lower prices, providing an opening for savvy investors to secure advantageous deals or collaborate with retirees through purchase lease options.
It's crucial to be well-informed and knowledgeable about the intricacies of property investment. Ignorance can lead to unexpected costs. Familiarise yourself with the regulations and guidelines governing property transactions in your target investment area.

5 Reason Why Property Is Better Than The Stock Market
00:11:26
In today's podcast, Mark delves into the compelling advantages of investing in property over the stock market.
Property stands out as a tangible asset, offering a sense of security and control that stocks and shares lack due to their intangible nature. The ability to physically interact with and monitor your property investment provides a tangible reassurance of its status and progress.
Furthermore, property investment typically yields a steady and predictable cash flow every month, contrasting with the variability and uncertainty often associated with stock market returns. Unlike stocks, where earnings are contingent upon selling shares and subject to market volatility, property investments offer a more reliable source of income over time.
Moreover, the potential for adding value and enhancing returns through strategic improvements distinguishes property as a proactive investment vehicle. Conversely, stock investors must rely on market fluctuations and hope for favorable outcomes without the ability to directly influence the performance of their investments.

In today's podcast, Mark discusses why Buy-to-Let might still be a viable strategy.
Despite the current economic downturn, rental demand is on the rise. If you can acquire a property at a great price where the numbers add up and your ROI is favorable, it's a smart investment.
You can also lease properties to social housing organizations. These organizations typically align their rates with market prices, but in some cases, they may offer rates above the market average. It's crucial to conduct thorough due diligence in these situations.
Be sure to read all terms and conditions before finalizing any agreements, as there are individuals who may try to exploit others, so caution is necessary.

How You Can Get Started In Property With Little To No Money
00:15:58
Today, Mark Fitzgerald discusses how you can enter the property market without any initial funds!
Joint ventures and partnerships are excellent ways to kickstart your career in property investment. You might find potential partners who have the necessary capital but lack the knowledge or time to invest. By leveraging their funds and your expertise, you can create a mutually beneficial arrangement.
However, it's crucial to ensure you know what you're doing. A lack of proper knowledge and planning can lead to significant financial losses for your investors.
Another option is to borrow money from individuals who have idle savings and want to see their money grow. You can offer them better returns than traditional bank savings accounts, making it an attractive proposition for them.
One often overlooked strategy is harnessing the power of social media. By documenting your property journey and sharing regular updates on house visits and progress, you can attract potential investors who are interested in partnering with you. Social media can be a powerful tool to showcase your expertise and build credibility in the property investment community.

On today's podcast, Mark explains why you might not be securing the deals you're aiming for.
The primary reason new investors often miss out on good deals is that they are not putting themselves out there and facing rejection.
Your network is your net worth! If you aren't actively meeting people and making connections, you will struggle to find lucrative deals.
The first step is to start viewing properties. This will help you understand what you're looking for and assess whether an area aligns with your investment strategy.
You cannot invest in property from behind a desk. It's crucial to attend at least four property viewings a week. Sometimes, you need to find the deal before securing the money.

On today's podcast, Mark shares valuable strategies on how to find the best property deals, offering practical tips that can significantly improve your property investment journey.
Mark begins by highlighting the importance of building strong relationships with letting agents. He advises investors to proactively reach out to multiple agents and clearly communicate their specific criteria for property deals. This involves detailing the types of properties you're interested in, preferred locations, budget ranges, and any other relevant preferences. By doing this, you position yourself as a serious and informed buyer.
Once you establish these connections and articulate your criteria, agents are more likely to contact you when they come across deals that match your requirements. Mark explains that this proactive approach not only increases the number of suitable deals you are offered but also helps you stay ahead of the competition. Over time, as agents become familiar with your preferences, you'll receive calls and emails with tailored deals that perfectly align with your investment goals.
Additionally, Mark emphasises the importance of maintaining regular communication with these agents. Consistent follow-ups and check-ins show your continued interest and keep you top-of-mind for agents when new opportunities arise. Building these relationships is a key part of creating a steady pipeline of high-quality property deals.
Mark also suggests being open to working with multiple agents to diversify your sources. Different agents have access to different listings and networks, so broadening your reach can lead to discovering more unique and potentially lucrative opportunities.

A Guide to Property Finance Within the Current Mortgage Market
00:39:52
On today's podcast, Mark welcomes special guest Jonny Dunn from DNA Financial Solutions to discuss the current state of the mortgage market and strategies for financing property deals. Jonny brings his expertise in financial solutions to provide listeners with valuable insights into navigating today's lending landscape.
Jonny starts by noting a significant shift in the mortgage market: lenders have become increasingly selective about who they lend to. This heightened scrutiny means that potential borrowers must be well-prepared and present themselves in the best possible light. Lenders now require more comprehensive documentation to assess a borrower's financial stability and creditworthiness. This includes detailed income statements, proof of employment, credit reports, and sometimes even future financial projections.
In addition to thorough documentation, Jonny emphasises the importance of presentability. Lenders not only look at the numbers but also consider the overall impression a borrower makes. A well-organised, professional application can make a substantial difference in securing favorable mortgage terms. Jonny advises borrowers to ensure their financial records are in order, to dress appropriately for meetings, and to communicate clearly and confidently with lenders.
Jonny also shares tips on how to strengthen your mortgage application. He suggests maintaining a good credit score, reducing existing debt, and saving for a substantial down payment. These factors can improve your attractiveness as a borrower and increase your chances of approval.
Furthermore, Jonny highlights the importance of working with experienced financial advisors and mortgage brokers who can guide you through the complex process and help present your application in the best possible way. These professionals can also provide insights into which lenders are more likely to approve your loan based on your specific circumstances.

How To Invest In The UK From Dubai With Darcel Washbourne
00:48:26
On today's podcast, Mark interviews Darcel, a successful property investor based in Dubai who has ventured into the UK property market. Darcel shares her valuable experiences, emphasising the importance of communication, resilience, and the right mindset in property investment.
Darcel begins by highlighting the critical role of effective communication. She recounts her initial struggles with her first letting agent, who provided false hope and undermined her confidence, ultimately delaying her progress. This experience underscored the importance of working with reliable and transparent agents. When she switched to a new agency with better communication, her investment journey became much more efficient and positive.
Darcel stresses that good communication builds trust and ensures that all parties are aligned, facilitating smoother and more successful transactions.
She also reflects on the nature of property investment, likening it to a rollercoaster rather than a straight line. Darcel candidly shares that the journey is filled with unexpected challenges and setbacks. However, she emphasises that perseverance and adaptability are essential. By staying committed and navigating through the highs and lows, investors can eventually reap the rewards of their efforts.
A crucial aspect Darcel discusses is the importance of mindset. She believes that having the right mindset is fundamental to success in property investment. A positive and resilient mindset helps investors handle the inevitable ups and downs, stay focused on their goals, and keep moving forward despite obstacles. Darcel shares that maintaining a growth mindset and staying motivated are key to overcoming challenges and achieving long-term success in the real estate market.

On today's podcast, Mark dives into the pros and cons of property investing, offering a balanced view of the potential rewards and challenges associated with property investment.
Mark begins by discussing some of the downsides of property investing. The first major con he highlights is the uncertainty in the market. Real estate markets can be unpredictable, with property values fluctuating based on economic conditions, interest rates, and other factors. This volatility can make it difficult to determine the right time to buy or sell, adding a layer of risk to property investments.
Another significant downside is the maintenance and hassle involved in managing properties. Property owners must deal with routine maintenance, repairs, and tenant issues, which can be time-consuming and stressful. Whether it's fixing a leaky roof, handling a tenant dispute, or addressing unexpected property damages.
Despite these challenges, Mark also outlines the compelling benefits of property investing. One of the primary advantages is the potential for financial freedom. Successful property investments can generate steady rental income and significant capital appreciation over time. This passive income can eventually replace the need for a traditional 9-5 job, providing investors with the freedom to pursue other interests and enjoy a more flexible lifestyle.
Mark emphasises that property investing, when done correctly, can be a powerful tool for building wealth. The ability to leverage borrowed funds to purchase properties allows investors to amplify their returns. Additionally, property investing often acts as a hedge against inflation, as property values and rents typically increase over time.
In summary, while property investing comes with its share of risks and responsibilities, it also offers substantial rewards and the possibility of achieving financial independence. Mark encourages listeners to carefully weigh these pros and cons, educate themselves about the market, and consider their long-term goals before diving into property investment.

Top Deal Sourcing Tips and Strategies For Investors
00:10:46
On today's podcast, Mark delves into the essentials of becoming a successful deal sourcer in the property market. He outlines several key components that aspiring deal sourcers need to master to thrive in this competitive field.
The foundation of becoming a proficient deal sourcer is a deep understanding of the property market. Mark stresses the importance of being knowledgeable about current house prices, rent prices, and interest rates. This comprehensive market knowledge enables deal sourcers to identify and secure attractive deals that offer genuine value to investors. Without this critical insight, it is challenging to discern good opportunities from bad ones.
Another pivotal skill for deal sourcers is the art of negotiation. Mark highlights that effective negotiation is about fairness and integrity. It's essential to negotiate deals that are beneficial for all parties involved. Rather than exploiting someone's situation, a successful deal sourcer acts as a property problem solver, providing solutions that work for sellers, buyers, and investors alike. This ethical approach builds trust and long-term relationships in the industry.
Marketing strategy is another crucial aspect that Mark emphasizes. Having excellent deals is only half the battle; the other half is ensuring these deals reach the right audience. Mark advises on the importance of robust marketing techniques to advertise deals effectively. This includes leveraging online platforms, social media, and other marketing channels to reach potential buyers and investors. Without a solid marketing plan, even the best deals may go unnoticed and unsold.

Anthony and Alice share their insights and experiences, beginning with their strategic decision to focus on HMOs.

Alice chimes in with the importance of meticulous documentation. She stresses the need to photograph and file everything, maintaining comprehensive records of all transactions, communications, and property conditions.

Together, Anthony and Alice also discuss the challenges they faced in setting up their letting agency.

Costly mistakes to avoid in Serviced Accommodation
00:17:32
On today's podcast, Mark discusses the costly mistakes to avoid when engaging in Serviced Accommodation (SA) ventures.
One of the primary points Mark emphasises is the importance of clear communication with landlords when undertaking rent-to-rent deals. It's crucial that the landlord is fully informed about your intentions for the property.
Transparency is key; you should propose your arrangement in a professional and respectful manner, ensuring that the landlord is comfortable and satisfied with the monthly rental figure you offer. This approach not only builds trust but also lays a solid foundation for a mutually beneficial relationship.
Mark also highlights the necessity of understanding the lease terms thoroughly. Before finalising any agreement with a landlord or agent, you should always request to see the lease.
This step is vital because the lease will outline what activities are permitted and which ones are not. Knowing these details in advance can prevent legal issues and misunderstandings down the line. It ensures that your business operations remain compliant with the terms set forth by the property owner.
Additionally, Mark underscores the importance of marketing and self-promotion in the success of your SA business. Putting yourself out there is essential for attracting potential clients to your properties.
Effective marketing strategies can significantly boost your occupancy rates and profitability. Whether it's through online platforms, social media, or networking events, making your properties visible and appealing to prospective guests is a critical component of a successful SA venture.

On today's episode, Mark invites two special guests and pin hosts, Samir and Reetika from Milton Keynes.
Reetika shares her story, starting with her first pin meeting, which she describes as a transformative experience. This meeting was so valuable that it inspired her to dive deeper into her property journey.
Samir talks about his daily routine, where he identifies 5-10 potential properties and filters out the best ones. He emphasises the importance of scouting in areas where he has extensive knowledge, allowing him to understand the market better.
Reetika also raises an important point about property investment. She believes that success is not about owning hundreds of properties but rather having a smaller portfolio that maximises returns. More properties don't necessarily equate to higher profits.
pin meetings provide a safe and welcoming environment for new investors, including those with no prior knowledge but plenty of motivation. Everyone is encouraged to participate and learn, regardless of their experience level. Make sure to check your local one out.

On today's podcast, Mark delves into the intricacies of securing the best deals in the property market and the crucial role of building strong relationships with estate agents.
He emphasises several key strategies to optimise interactions and outcomes when dealing with estate agents.
Firstly, Mark underscores the importance of being realistic in your expectations. When you approach estate agents with clear and achievable goals, it sets a positive tone for the relationship.
Realistic expectations help estate agents understand your needs and constraints, allowing them to offer solutions that are both feasible and tailored to your situation. This approach not only prevents misunderstandings but also ensures that you are taken seriously and not perceived as someone who might waste their time.
Additionally, Mark advises seeking out private mortgage brokers for the most competitive rates. Private brokers often have access to a wider range of financial products and can provide options that might not be available through traditional banking channels.
Specifically, Mark suggests looking for brokers who offer flexible terms, including the possibility of renting out properties.
It is really important to have good manners and courteous behavior in dealings with estate agents. Politeness and professionalism can make a lasting impression.
Estate agents are more likely to go the extra mile for clients who treat them with respect. Being well-mannered not only facilitates smoother transactions but also increases the likelihood that an estate agent will prioritise your needs. They may prefer working with a considerate client over one who might offer more money but is difficult to deal with.

On today's podcast, Mark discusses the advantages of buying properties at auctions and offers valuable tips for navigating the auction process effectively.
Many people avoid auction properties, fearing bidding wars and the risk of overpaying. However, auctions can be a great opportunity if approached with the right strategy.
Attending auctions isn't just about buying; it's also an excellent chance to network. Connect with other investors, property owners, and vendors. These contacts can be invaluable for future opportunities and property leads.
It's crucial to thoroughly research all associated fees to avoid any hidden costs. Being proactive in scouting auction properties helps build your due diligence skills.
Lastly, it's essential to stay composed and avoid getting too competitive during bidding. Always maintain control to ensure you make sound investment decisions.

Remote Investing With John Smits, Dont Let Distance Stop You.
00:47:15
In today’s podcast, Mark welcomes special guest John Smith, who shares his journey of investing in properties from the UK to Spain
Mark delves into the advantages and disadvantages of venture partnerships, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly evaluating deals beforehand, as some may not be worthwhile.
The discussion highlights the benefits of concentrating on specific areas rather than spreading oneself too thin. This focused approach allows investors to become well-acquainted with a market, making it easier to recognize valuable opportunities.
John underscores the crucial role of networking in real estate investment. He recounts his own experience of meeting a valuable contact at a pin meeting, which led to a successful property deal. His dedication is evident as he drives two hours to attend these meetings, participating in two different ones each month. This consistency has helped him build strong relationships with other investors.
Networking, as John points out, is pivotal in property investing. It can be the key to securing highly profitable deals and building a successful investment business.
Transparency is key in joint ventures. Being truthful and honest is essential for sustaining and growing your business in the long run. Stepping out of your comfort zone is crucial for growth and success. Pushing yourself to try new things and take risks can lead to unexpected opportunities and valuable experiences. You won't know what you're capable of achieving until you challenge yourself and embrace the unknown.

On today's podcast, Mark invites a special guest, Jonny Dunn, to provide a comprehensive financial market update. Jonny Dunn offers an insightful analysis of the current economic climate and its implications for investors and the general public.
Jonny highlights that the strong voter turnout and decisive results in the recent election have significantly boosted market confidence. This increased optimism among investors is driving a positive trend in market performance. He explains how political stability and clear policy directions are crucial for economic growth and investor sentiment.
One of the key points Jonny discusses is the reduction in interest rates anticipated ahead of August. He elaborates on how lower interest rates can stimulate economic activity by making borrowing cheaper for both consumers and businesses. This move is expected to encourage spending and investment, further bolstering the market's upward trajectory
Jonny also touches on several significant developments that are being completed effectively. These projects, ranging from infrastructure to technology advancements, are poised to play a vital role in sustaining economic growth. He provides examples of how these developments will impact various sectors and create new opportunities.
Jonny also discusses the government's plans to address the issue of bidding wars in the housing market. He explains the potential impact of these policies on landlords and tenants, highlighting both the benefits and challenges. By implementing measures to regulate bidding wars, the government aims to create a more balanced and fair housing market. However, Jonny cautions that these policies must be carefully designed to avoid unintended consequences that could disrupt the market dynamics.

On today's podcast, Mark discusses why you should consider becoming a property investor.
He begins by highlighting the exceptional atmosphere of property networking events, which he finds more conducive and energising than typical work environments. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals is a significant advantage in itself.
The first reason Mark gives for investing in property is the potential for passive income, allowing you the freedom to do what you want when you want. This financial freedom enables you to spend more time with loved ones and travel without restrictions.
However, Mark emphasises that reaching this level of financial independence requires a lot of hard work and doesn’t happen overnight.
Next, Mark talks about the growth potential in property investment. Even simple renovations can double the value of a property. Additionally, long-term growth in the property market allows you to accumulate multiple properties, essentially paid for by tenants over time.
Mark’s third point is the stability of property investments. He argues that compared to cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other investment forms, property consistently holds its value and offers more reliability.
The fourth point he discusses is the predictability of the property market. With insights into interest rates, government policies, and global events, you can forecast property price trends. Mark adds that regardless of market fluctuations, there is always potential to make money in property.
