	08 Jan 2019	Interview with Property investor, traveler and co-host of The Property Nomads Podcast, Rob Smallbone	00:55:29
In this latest episode, Peter interviews Property investor, traveller and co-host of The Property Nomads Podcast Rob Smallbone. Rob took the decision to make his yearly goals public, filing monthly accountability facebook videos. Stay listening to hear how making them public has helped Rob achieve his goals and all about his journey which has seen him relocate from Reading to Hull for his property business. Key Takeaways Why Did You Publically Make Updates On Your Facebook Page? I’d always set my yearly goals on my birthday in July. Making them public has really helped my accountability. People were asking for updates on my goals so there was a demand from others. Goal setting is really important in succeeding. You achieve things with goals because if you don’t have any then you won’t achieve anything. How Do You Set Your Goals? Every mid-July, I will take a day out and put my phone on airplane mode. I go somewhere and do a personal reflection on the last twelve months, what has gone well, and what hasn’t. I have to be really honest with myself to set the best goals. Letting yourself off on small elements can snowball out of control. I’ve always had goals, but each year I try something new for the discipline. Why do you set goals? The want and the desire to be better. I know that if I can discipline myself in my life it will help build my business. I know that I can be better. Ultimately I want to visit every country in the world before I’m fifty. Trying to use property to help facilitate and achieve that. What areas in your life do you set goals? I set goals in seven key areas: business and work, personal wealth, energy, mental, physical, spiritual, social and spiritual. Some current goals that I have are below: No coffee, alcohol chocolate for a year. The aim is for the discipline. I was wasting too much time with lost days to hangovers, and those energy lulls caused by coffee. To be personally debt free as of 13th July 2020. I’ve strategically planned out how I’m paying off the debt incrementally. To publish my first book by the 13th July 2020. Over time i’ve built up a series of blog posts, and now I want to repackage and repurpose them. It’s on the theme of how to buy your first buy-to-let property? To successfully establish the Property Nomads podcast. This has been achieved. The Nomad name sat well with me. It’s a blend of property and business content. The latest episode is around the fourteen people you need to have in your power team. We are looking to do a mini-series on individual historically important properties. To have 25 positively cashflow properties by 13th July 2020. We are about halfway there at the moment. We still have plenty of time to make the full amount. To finally get rid of moobs, so I can look in the mirror and be happy in my own body. I’ve become more disciplined in my routine and surrounding myself with the right people to learn from. Why did you choose to buy properties in Hull? At the time of going up there, it was about to become the city of culture. Seeing it work really well in Liverpool was a good draw for me. The main reason was renewable energy, however, as there is a lot of investment in the area, with regards to that sector. Siemens has invested heavily there as well, and there is a sense that the city is going in the right direction. Having moved there from Reading, it’s easier to react to things, like viewing properties first. It gives you a competitive advantage How did you get to know the area? I got stuck in at every level possible. I had time on my side. I’m on the committee for Humber housing association, which is something that I sought out. Simple things, like driving round Hull during the day and at night and talking to lettings agents. They know where the high demand is in the city. There are any number of reasons why you don’t reach a goal. It might be that your goal wasn’t quite framed properly. If you don’t achieve the goal in the set time frame, just learn from it and then extend the date to the goal to achieve it. What difference has it made making your goals public? Public accountability has been really useful. There are lots of people who can understand body language, so they could know I’m lying. You will shoot yourself in the foot if you lie about achieving your goals. Best Moments ‘Entrepreneurs know we always want to do more.’ ‘If you are not honest with yourself than you are only cheating yourself.’ ‘It’s all about your mindset’ ‘If you want to do property then you have to be in the mindset to do so.’ ‘Don’t hide behind that mindset that you can’t learn a certain skill.’ ‘Write blog posts, and then you will have some content for a book.’ ‘You don’t have to relocate to invest in a gold mine area.’ ‘Don’t overthink it, just do it.’ ‘It’s easy to get stuck in analysis, paralysis.’ ‘Make yourself accountable.’ ‘Letting agents can be key for getting to know the area.’ ‘You cannot be a property investor if you only look on Rightmove.’ ‘We all have the 24 hours in the day so it’s what you do with them that matters.’ ‘There is no shame in resetting goals.’ ‘Knowing how you learn to represent your goals in the right way.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast If you’re interested in finding out more about the right mortgage product, please email ThePropertyTeacher@gmail.com and Peter will put you in touch with his mortgage broker.

	24 Nov 2020	How I Quit My Job & Built a Property Business	00:32:09
Luke Brindley has scaled his property empire to over 15+ properties since joining the VIP programme at Progressive Property and is now securing JV funding for more deals helping other investors source and scale their own property portfolios. Listen in as Kevin and Luke discuss the fundamentals of property investments, what it takes to scale up your business from part-time investor to full-time property entrepreneur and how you can shift your mindset, leverage social media and build up a network of investors around you quickly and effectively. Join the Progressive Property Community KEY TAKEAWAYS In property you get out what you put in. It can take a long time to get traction in the property market and secure a deal but you need to be persistent, invest in your local area and look for the longterm gain and not the short term wins. When you’re starting your property portfolio, exchanging your time for money is just too slow. You need to JV with investors and like-minded individuals in the property community to secure JV finance and more quickly scale your portfolio. If you’re investing in property alone you can have a very limited mindset and it is not until you join a mentorship group that will you understand the value in ‘getting out there and speaking with people’ and discovering that you can raise funding for property deals. Start investing in property, building your network and mastering your strategy in your local area part-time whilst you’re still employed until you have partly replaced your income and cost of living. Once you do move into property full-time your portfolio, funding and JV funding will grow exponentially. Use social media to share your property journey, interact and help other investors on their journey and you will organically grow your network and find more deals and funding for your property business.

	31 Dec 2019	7 Things You Need to Make 2020 Your Year	00:25:36
Want to make 2020 the year of financial freedom? Is it finally time for you to live the property investor life you’ve been dreaming of for years? Tune into today’s podcast where property expert Kevin McDonell shares his 7 top tips that will make 2020 your year! Today, Kevin shares some motivational advice that will help you achieve your full potential and turn you into the successor you’ve been dreaming of, so listen in today and make 2020 the best year yet. KEY TAKEAWAYS 7 things to make 2020 your year. Mindset: mindset is key. Whatever it is you want to achieve, it all starts with belief. The starting point is believing in yourself and your success. If one person in your town can be successful in property then why can’t you? You don’t need to know everything to start, you just need to start and the rest will happen. Knowledge: Once you have the mindset that you can do this, you need to make sure you have the right specialist knowledge. You need to have not just knowledge of a strategy, but knowledge of your area. You need to know about tax, systems, builders and letting agents. It is not only about acquiring this new-found knowledge but using it to move forward. Time: You need to invest time into property in 2020. You need to prioritise your time. Try writing down everything you’re doing with your time over a 7 day period and you will find you’re wasting loads of time. If you can allocate 1 hour a day, 7 days a week you can move your business forward. Put the time into making your success and you can’t fail. Money: You do need money to be involved in property however, It doesn’t have to be your money. Even if you’re doing a no money down deal, there is still invisible money involved such as the property value or borrowed money. You need to be able to access money from various sources when money is needed. Attend networking events, local, national or international events in order to grow your property business. Clear Goals: Each year before the new year approaches, you should write down clear goals for where you want to take your business in the following year. You need to do this before you end up too far into the new year and direction is lost. Make sure your goals are clear and structures. Follow a 6 step concept with your goals: Smart Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time Bound Take some time to write out the clear goals that are specific to you, and implement them do the steps to make sure that you achieve them. Willingness to accept rejection: There is not a single successful person on this planet that has not been rejected. Many people expect to get their first big deal and become a success within the first few months, it is not always that simple. Whilst it is a step by step simple process, it needs a lot of work. You need to be willing to understand that rejection is part of the journey, and it is part of the success. Do not let rejection stop you from moving forward. Accountability: Many people think that they are able to do property alone. The reality is, that you can’t. Get yourself a mentor and your results will completely change. You need to be working alongside and be accountable to someone who has walked that road before you, who tells you ‘you are not thinking big enough’ and ‘you can do this’. Somebody who gives you actions to take, otherwise life gets in the way. Prioritize your property journey as number 1. You need accountability from different places if you really want to get your business to where you want it to be. BEST MOMENTS “You don’t need to see the whole staircase, you just need to take the first step” “Richard Branson has the same amount of time as us and he has over 400 companies he’s involved in” “Don’t try and run before you can walk” “You don’t need to be perfect to get started, but you do need to start to get perfect” “You’ve got to earn your stripes” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	15 Nov 2022	My Journey to Becoming a Property Investor	00:30:03
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Selena Davy joins Kevin in this episode. Selena talks about her property investment journey, to potentially inspire you to either get started yourself or remotivate you to keep going. KEY TAKEAWAYS Previous to property investing Selena was working in the NHS for 22 years. After being very ill and spending 6 months in the hospital, Selena knew that she needed to make some changes in her life. Selena started to attend courses including Progressive Property Multiple Streams of Income and No Money Down and discovered that property was to be her next passion. Most of Selena’s experience has been good but she has had some difficulties, including builders stealing money. It's important to recognise that property investing isn't ever straightforward or easy. There are of course bad landlords, but Selena doesn’t believe they are the majority, most landlords want to help people. If you’re winning to learn, especially from other people, Selena believes anyone can be successful in property. BEST MOMENTS “It’s been quite a few twists and turns” “You get your refurb money back from the rent in a few months” “I don’t think I could stop even if I had enough money, I love it [property] now” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	29 Oct 2024	Real estate, AI and how it affects the Property Investor	00:41:23
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kev is interviewed by MJ, who is doing a dissertation around AI and wants to quiz Kev on what he thinks the impact will be on the property world. They talk about the real-life implications and applications of AI and VR including relationships with clients, costs and convenience. KEY TAKEAWAYS VR and AI present a unique opportunity to build better relationships. There will be huge time savings to be had once AI has been established within a workflow. Virtual reality means that staff and people other than the landlords can review accommodation, sending the recording to the landlord to review at their convenience. Communication is essential if AI and VR are to work in any industry, individuals and companies need to be educated with realistic expectations. MJ believes that real estate agents haven’t been told or educated about why and how AI and VR could work for them. You don’t have a business unless you have happy customers, if you can make your customers happier then you can generate more income, Kev would want AI or VR to aid in this. BEST MOMENTS “I’m really excited about this and also really scared” “Relationship building is important between a real estate agent and a customer” “Any relationship starts with trust in the first place” “Would you buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour?” “You know way more about the technology than the actual client that would be using it” “If you want to sell me on virtual reality you need to sell me the benefits not ask me why I would use it” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	06 Nov 2018	Serviced Accommodation, The Pros & Cons For Investors	00:18:27
Welcome back to The Progressive Property Podcast. Peter returns to discuss the property strategies you can use to begin your own journey in property investment. Today Peter focuses on Serviced Accommodation and brings you both the pros and cons of this new innovative property cashflow strategy. KEY TAKEAWAYS With Serviced Accommodation, you essential let out your property on a short-term basis. The difference is with a buy-to-let, you will have a 6-month or longer tenancy, however, with Serviced Accommodation you are letting out your property for a shorter period of time. It's very flexible and not as rigid as a buy-to-let where you will need to have an AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy) and often the type of properties that are being used as buy-to-lets can also be used as Serviced Accommodations and the best bit, you will typically achieve a much higher rent. Rental fees that you can charge for a shorter-term let will be substantially higher if you're using your property as a serviced accommodation unit. However, you might not have it filled every night. Therefore you will need to work out your occupancy level and how many nights you will need it to be filled to make a profit. In many ways, serviced accommodation is more of a business strategy than a property strategy. It's much like a B&B, an alternative name would be holiday lets as they are very similar. You will need to set up your unit a bit like a hotel and furnish it and keep it clean etc. There's a lot more work that you need to put into it to get it up and running. 95% of the time you will need planning for your serviced accommodation. It’s not considered as residential property, its more of a holiday let. As you need planning this will affect how you finance the property, this is different to a buy-to-let and you will need commercial lending. With Serviced Accommodation, you need to ensure you have the right insurance and policies in place. BEST MOMENTS With all the things you need to do to maintain your serviced accommodation, you will need to have a team behind you. With Serviced Accommodation, you are really creating yourself another job, rather than freedom. However, the returns are so good it's worth it. If you get contractors as tenants they may stay a lot longer at your serviced accommodation. Do not use your buy-to-let mortgage to purchase a property to then use it as a serviced accommodation. VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re interested in finding out more about the right mortgage product to finance your serviced accommodation, please email ThePropertyTeacher@gmail.com and Peter will put you in touch with his mortgage broker.

	17 Nov 2020	How to Invest £10,000 In Property & Other Assets	00:45:49
Progressive Property Co-founders Rob Moore and Mark Homer join the show to share with you the best active and passive investment strategies for high returns and regular income when investing £10,000. Discover how to get the quickest returns on your investment for short, medium and long-term capital growth from investing in everything from property, stocks and businesses to assets such as cars, watches and commodities. KEY TAKEAWAYS The quickest returns on an active £10,000 property investment will be when you combine your capital with effort and hard work and create a business. eCommerce is a great opportunity for investment, it’s a growing market with huge potential for scale. Platforms such as Shopify and Amazon can help you reach huge audiences quickly. If you’re passively investing £10,000 the safest options are most ISA’s or a portfolio of tracker funds that invest in the FTSE or American spread. Platforms such as Vanguard and Hargreaves Landsdown are recommended to use. The best property businesses to start for returns are Rent2Rent, Serviced Accommodation or Deal Packaging, these property strategies will give you a fast cashflow each month and ability to get a return on your investment so that you can scale your empire. However, a joint-venture with other investors is also a great way of pooling your capital together for larger projects with bigger returns. One of the better longer-term passive investments to make is in classic cars and watches.

	30 Sep 2024	5 Tips When To Know When Choosing a Joint Venture Partner - #rewind 134	00:31:58
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast we revisit episode 134 where Dan gives you the 5 essential things to consider when looking for a JV partner. Choosing your JV partner is NOT a child’s game, like pin the tail on the donkey or ring-around-the-rosy. There’s too much at stake when you don’t think carefully and you don’t have your guards up. Discover how you can thoroughly pick the best JV partner in your property business through Dan’s simple steps. There will always be one who’s very compatible with your knowledge, skills, and vision, so never settle! KEY TAKEAWAYS Work out the real reason you need a JV partner. Are you really in dire need? Or are you just lacking of self-belief? What business are you looking to bring your JV partner on? Make sure that your bringing in the right person. If you don’t want to do it alone, it’s worth considering also to have a mentor who can guide you. Having a JV partner might complicate the situation if you aren’t clear yet of your purpose. What will each person’s role be? It’s best that you complement each other. Find someone who have the knowledge and skills that you lack. And, who will deal with the day to day issues? If you just want someone who will provide the funds, then being active with the operations is the least to worry about when looking for a JV partner. Before any agreements, remember to make a list of things you need to agree upfront. A JV Partnership agreement must entail everything each of you must bring to the table. What does your JV partner want? Know what outcome are they looking forward to. Also prepare an exit plan just incase of unforeseen circumstances (e.g. breach of contract, critical illness, etc.) If you’re looking for a joint venture in property, familiarize yourselves first with PS13/3 regulations. There are only a bunch of people you’re allowed to joint venture with, and PS13/3 has it detailed. Don’t pick someone just like you. You are not looking for another you, you are looking for someone who can do what you can’t do. Consider taking the Wealth Dynamics Test to gauge if your personalities are compatible. You and your partner can be: a Creator, a Star, a Supporter, a Deal Maker, a Trader, an Accumulator, a Lord, or a Mechanic. Don’t rush in to picking a JV partner. If you’re picking someone for the long term, test everything out first. It would be a waste of time to know that what you have hope for in the partnership won’t be fruitful. Be clear about their values, not just about the money, the skill, and the knowledge they can offer. BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes, people think they need a JV partner and they go into business with somebody when in hindsight, all they needed was to build some knowledge and gain some belief for themselves.” “We have the end in mind before we even started, and that’s what’s really important.” “You are not looking for the best mate to go out with, you are looking for a business partner who brings a different dynamic, a different skillset.” “Pick the right person to grow the business.” “It’s not a race; it’s a journey.” “I made a lot of mistakes in property, but I made them before I got educated.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Progressive Property PS13/3 Restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes (PDF) Wealth Dynamics Test ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD How has the conflict in Ukraine affected the UK property market? Listen into this Q&A session with Kevin to find out the answer to this question, the impact of the energy crisis, his thoughts on Grant Cardone’s ‘Cash is trash’ statement and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The rising increase in utilities will affect anyone who owns HMO properties. However they may also see more demand for properties which could solve this issue. 99% of the population will be impacted by the rise in inflation as the main things they spend money on such as food, fuel etc has all increased dramatically. However, there is an upside for property investors as average property prices have also increased. Cash is built to move. There’s no point having cash just sat in your account and not working for you. All that will happen is inflation will erode it’s worth.

	14 Jan 2025	Rob Moore Hardest Property Challenges, Favourite Property Strategies & Mindset	00:12:14
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Kevin McDonnell interviews Disruptive Entrepreneur and Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Tune in today to hear them discuss the UK’s biggest property event of the year, what you’ll learn and why you should attend. KEY TAKEAWAYS What’s your favourite property investment strategy? My personal favourite property investing strategy is commercial conversion, because that's what we do and that works for us, because it works well in Peterborough, there are good deals that need planning and we've worked out how to get the planning and we're doing one that's 85,000 square foot that could be up to 160 units. No money down is a way of buying, rent to rent is a way of buying, a lot of people confuse strategies, they think they’re going to do rent to rent or no money down or lease options, but actually no, what you're doing is a way of buying a property. Rent to rent is just circumventing needing a deposit, lease options are circumventing needing a deposit, we use all of those strategies within the strategy of commercial conversion. How many years have you been doing property now? December 15, 2005, was the day my life changed. The last week of that year, I met Mark up my very first property networking event and in February 2006, I started my property investing career properly working in a property company and buying with Mark. That's 13 years nearly. When was the first super conference? 2010 was our first really big event, there's a lot of people that start property training, who never really got much property and that's how progressive is different. The critics say there are too many people out there who teach but haven't done and maybe there are some, but how we're different is every strategy that we teach, we've done. Why did you stop doing the super conference? Those events got more and more expensive, like hundreds of thousands of pounds, this super conference will cost us 500 grand, half a million quid to run an event. The bigger the room, the more expensive they get. That was one thing. The second thing was we started to think if there's a cheap strike if there's a bomb scare if something goes wrong and three to six months of our marketing and our revenue are based on this one event, massive risk. The third thing was I like connecting with people, I'd prefer to speak to 100 people or 200 people than in 1400. I'm better in a smaller room. Every speaker loves the thought of the big stage, but I started to feel more disconnected. We bought our own training sweet over there, what's the point in going into massive events in London when you can do in smaller events here. What’s the main thing you're sort of excited about a product? One of them is creating multiple streams of income. We want to teach you how to create multiple streams of income. The second thing is we wanted the quickest cash flow strategies. What is the reason you give too much content without stopping? My Why is trying to earn respect and love from people and that just won't go away, I love property and I love business. Attend the 10X super conference and learn to be the best. BEST MOMENTS “The harder my challenges are, the more motivated I am.” “All the property strategies that we teach work, otherwise it wouldn't teach them.” “I did single let so many years, but when you've done loads of them, you kind of hunger to scale up and your time isn't worth just doing a single that when you can do bigger stuff.” “I don’t want people to look at me and say, “Rob is doing big commercial conversions, that's what I'm going to do.” if they haven't done a single let yet.” “There are too many people out there who teach but haven't done” “I never teach anything unless I've done it.” “You can learn something from everyone if you stay humble enough to look at someone.” “To know not to do is not to know.” “The easiest person to lie to is you.” “It’s okay to fail and it's best to fail small and fast.” “Mindset skill set strategy and tactics.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	03 Mar 2020	How to Market YOUR Property Business	00:15:45
Do you know you know the best way to market your property business? In today’s market, it’s now more important than ever to stand out from the crowd and market your property business effectively. Today, discover Kevin’s top tips for marketing your business, the value in building a personal brand, how to expand your reach on social media and why networking events, billboards, and leaflets can still bring you a tonne of new business if you know what you’re doing. Tune in to learn how to market your business, build a brand and get the phone ringing. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Marketing is fundamental for any business. It is not just about marketing your business, it is also about marketing your personal brand. What can you do to build The Brand Of You? Attend networking events getting to other people and other people getting to know you and your business. Attend both local property events as well as business events. Join property Facebook groups where you connect with like-minded people. Make sure you’re active on every other platform of social media such as Instagram, LinkedIn. Interact on your social media platforms at least once per day. Helping and giving advice to others, as well as sharing your property journey as well as some of your personal life. How are you going to find the property deals and advertise to let people know you’re looking for the deals? Start with estate agents. They spend a lot of money each month on marketing to homeowners. You can also go directly to the vendor. Things such as direct mail marketing campaigns work for many estate agents, therefore it should work for you and your business. Keep an eye out for “For sale by owner” sales boards whereby homeowners are privately selling their property without the help of an estate agent, knock on the door and speak with them. Use Bandit Boards to market your property making sure you carefully follow the rules of the ‘Clean Neighbourhood Act’. Use A-boards in local areas and offer leaflets out to people either yourself or by hiring someone else. Implement a strategy for all of your marketing ideas. BEST MOMENTS “Why sit watching somebody else build their brand when you could be building yours” “Leverage the estate agents.” “Follow the success and success follows” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	14 Nov 2023	Part 2 - Doing Property Differently with Property Developer Jerome Roith	00:16:25
This is the second instalment of Kevin’s discussion with property developer educator Jerome Roith. They continue to talk about their property strategies, focusing on how they finance their projects and developments, highlighting the key differences and similarities between property investing and property developing. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two core mechanisms when offering to an investor in property development. Either give them equity in the deal or a fixed rate of return. It’s important to remember that the risk is often much higher for an investor for a property development project than investing in an existing house, If you can have investors take a share in a project/company it means you can continue to have them invest. It can be a problem borrowing from smaller investors or those you know as they can’t afford to ‘lose’ the money, meaning they will be higher maintenance to deal with. Inflation rates mean that more people want to invest their cash rather than leave it sitting in the bank. BEST MOMENTS "I’m not a huge believer in borrowing expensive money especially when you don’t know when you’re going to be able to pay it back” “It’s cheaper for them than traditional lettings” “One of the issues with running a company today is the level of administration you have to adhere to” “It’s become easier to raise money because of inflation” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	27 Nov 2018	Peter Answers Questions From The Progressive Property Community	00:29:21
Welcome back to the Progressive Property Podcast with chattered surveyor and property investing expert, Peter Jones. In this episode, Peter answers questions from the Progressive Property Community and shares with how to get started in property, even when you don’t have any money or own any property. Peter goes on to discuss where you can find JV finance and JV partners and why if you’re not yet part of the community you should go ahead and join now! Tune in now and learn how to believe that you’re a property investor, how to get yourself started and begin growing your empire. KEY TAKEAWAYS Do I need to have a lot of money to become a property investor? Well, you don’t know what you don’t know and in property, other people’s money is much better and much more efficient to invest with. By using other people’s money you will see far greater returns to you than using your own. You can accelerate and accentuate your portfolio by using other people’s money. It’s good to have a lot of money, as long as it’s someone else's money. Finally, it’s also important to maintain a good credit rating so that you can regularly borrow finance, it’s doesn’t always have to be a JV partner. You can use bridging loans, personal finance and credit cards to get you started. Can I get started in property, even when I don’t own any? Yes, of course. You need to be telling people you’re a property investor even before you do your first deal. Being a property investor is a state of mind, it’s not a qualification. You need to get out there, get networking and begin telling people who you are and what you’re looking at doing. So many property deals and JV finance is done as a result of networking and telling others that you are a property investor. Where can I meet other investors? Really it depends on the type of investor you want to meet. The usual places are networking meetings such as Progressive Property Network (PPN) and Property Investing Network (PIN) but you can also check out National Landlords Association and Residential Landlords Association meetings to expand your network. This works particularly well if you’re doing a Rent2rent strategy or tired landlords worried about the Section24 act. You can also attend Progressive Property’s Joint Venture Day and learn how and where to meet other investors. BEST MOMENTS “When you begin property investing and you have your own money you will actually start off slower on your journey because you become fixated on the amount of personal money you have to invest.” “Sometimes we get so fixed on raising JV finance that we forget we can borrow from the banks. This can even be a bridging loan.” “If you’re going to be a property investor you’re going to have to get your hands on some money, and there are multiple ways to do this.” “Tell everyone that you’re a property investor.” “Get out there and do it, be it until you see it.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor.

	10 May 2021	How I Started My Service Accommodation Property Business	00:22:02
Today Kevin has two very special guests, Vito and Daniella a father and daughter duo, who reveal all about their property journey! They talk about how they got started, especially the value they found from attending Progressive courses and being mentored. They also discuss mindset, the tips that worked for them, the great success they have already had and their big plans for the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Vito was an estate agent for 25 years including having his own practice for 17 of those them. He sold his business and after attending his first progressive course decided to start his own property business. Daniella has a background in the hospitality industry which she then decided to use alongside her Dad Vito’s expertise to form a super family duo in the property world! Having such an extensive background in the estate agency world, Vito expected to really know all about property. But after attending a progressive event in 2020 he was amazed at the things he learnt, it truly opened his mind and kick started his next steps, including further courses and mentoring with the progressive family. Vito and Daniella discussed various property strategies and decided to go down the serviced accommodation route. Daniella had a wealth of experience so although she was hesitant at first, she ultimately decided to utilise her knowledge and agreed on this way forward with her Dad Vito. When speaking to agents, be yourself, tell them what your goals are and be transparent. Let them understand what you are trying to achieve and the deals will come. You will get no’s, but you only need a few yes’s for success! As with any business, working relationships are key. Always bear this in mind when speaking to people for the first time. Even if you don’t strike a deal the first time, they might have what you are looking for down the line. You want to be the first person in their mind when they see something that would work for you. The business is already in profit, how many other business ventures would you expect to be making a profit so early on in the journey? It’s incredible. Vito and Daniella are now focusing on serviced accommodation management, finding investors and growing as much as they can. They have big plans for the future including bringing in aspects from the hotel industry into SA accommodation, such as loyalty schemes. Vito says one of his biggest challenges before starting this venture was mindset, this as well as the vast knowledge and education he got from attending progressive courses and being mentored was invaluable. He attributes a lot of his success down to working with progressive. BEST MOMENTS “I was always on the other side” “The stars aligned and we decided to work together” “Every mentor we spoke to said you’ve got the education but you have to take the actions” “You really have to push yourself” “We couldn’t have started what we have without progressive” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	10 Oct 2023	From Co-Op Manager to Property Millionaire: Surviving 16% Interest Rates to Build a Portfolio	00:29:57
Toni Gargan takes over the Progressive Property Podcast and interviews good friend Halstead Otley, a long-time property investor and host of the Ipswich PPN. They discuss Halstead's journey from working in retail to building a substantial property portfolio, including the challenges he faced with high-interest rates in the 1990s. Halstead shares insights on different strategies like buy-to-let, HMOs, and commercial, emphasising the importance of education and taking action. KEY TAKEAWAYS Halstead was inspired to start investing after seeing his parents' house value grow from £1200 to £25k in just 16 years. He saved deposits by working extra jobs and bought properties secretly as his friends weren't interested. Having unofficial mentors helped guide him. When interest rates rose to 16% in 1992, Halstead nearly lost his portfolio but worked with a mortgage broker to find solutions. He focused on different strategies at different times - buy-to-let, HMOs, serviced apartments, commercial. Education plus taking action has helped him stay ahead of the game. Halstead hosts the Ipswich PPN to help build an ethical property community and link new investors to trusted suppliers. Despite challenges, he's stayed motivated by wanting financial freedom and helping others achieve the same. Halstead still sees buy-to-let as the best long-term cashflow strategy. Tenants often add value themselves over decades. BEST MOMENTS "I didn't come from money. And I want to show other people and help other people who haven't got money that that shouldn't be why you don't do it." "Because property has allowed me the freedom that I've got, you know, the financial freedom that I've got, that I can do what I want, when I want, with whom I want." "I think that buy to lets, over time, will be the best cash flow and asset you can have." "Once the commercial buildings get built and we're doing the storage containers, once they're up and running, I think I'd like to do more of that." "I stayed at home, and I just got a sheet of paper, and I just brainstormed."

	26 Nov 2024	SELL or BUY The Truth About Raising Interest Rates	00:22:32
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right’ or ‘best’ property, meaning you’ll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people’s money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises’ ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property’ ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down’ ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today’ ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	11 Feb 2020	Top tips for Refinancing!	00:13:24
Discover the top tips for refinancing your property, the dos, and don’ts of property, how to attract JV partners and the risks of refinancing with a mortgage. Tune in to learn how to maximise your profits and build your portfolio with the right property refinancing. KEY TAKEAWAYS: -You could purchase the property using yours or your JV partner’s cash, by borrowing money or by taking out a mortgage using a deposit. - There are some risks of refinancing with a mortgage. If you buy a property with a mortgage from a bank and you put down a deposit of 25% and have the remaining mortgage of 75% with the bank. If in six months’ time, you go to refinance that property with the same bank it is most likely that the bank will not value the property any higher than they gave you six months earlier. -What some people may risk doing, is to buy a property with a mortgage from one bank do a small refurb, six months’ time refinance with a different bank than who the initial mortgage was taken out with. That can work in terms of the refinance, but you run the risk of getting blacklisted by the first bank. - Mortgage lenders like to see you keeping the product with them. Therefore the smart and professional thing to do is to use cash or a loan to purchase the property, do the work and then six months later, refinance onto your first mortgage product, rather than moving from one lender to another. - When applying for a mortgage, it is vital that you get a mortgage broker. They are able to get approval done that you would otherwise not be able to get yourself. They have good relationships with certain lenders and know what sort of things that you need to have included in your application for the lenders to say yes to your loan. - When choosing a mortgage broker, it is important to choose one that understands buy to let property. It is important that you stick to the same broker, don’t mix and match every few months. - When the valuer turns up to value the property. Do not try and tell them what you think it is worth, however there are a number of things you can do to help you get the valuation to what you are looking for. Get pictures of the property before you do any refurbishments. Get pictures of the property in its worst possible condition. Get pictures the day the valuer comes to see the house. - This can help you to show them how you have added money from the purchase price. You showing his pictures from six months to today is one of the most important ways for you to help him come to realize that the value is higher. - Give them a copy of the tenancy agreement. He will base his valuation on a percentage of the rental income that you’re achieving for that property. - Include a schedule of the works that you have done to the property since you purchased it to show that there have been a lot of things done since you bought the house that have added value. -Look for properties online that have sold with a higher comparable as you’re looking for as a value for yours. BEST MOMENTS “The mortgage broker earns there money for you” “How is this property worth more money today than it was six months ago?” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	29 Apr 2019	Is No Money Down Possible?	00:27:08
Ever thought that you can’t buy property because you don’t have a 25% deposit, or you don’t earn enough to gain a mortgage? Well, there are plenty of ways for you to invest in property, with either no money, very little money or with someone else’s money. Kevin this week talks through the various different ways that are available for you to invest in property with ‘No Money Down.’ From using rent-to-rent and Planning Gain, listen from the expert in ‘No Money Down’ property structures to make sure you start investing in your future today. Key Takeaways Do you know people who own a lot of property? Do you know them personally or have you read about them? The reality is they probably get there by doing ‘No money down’ property deals. They didn’t do this by working in a job to save for a job. If you don’t use ‘no money down’ investing otherwise you won’t own enough properties. What is ‘No Money Down’ Property investing? There are three types of ‘No Money Down.’ It could literally mean there is no money down on the property, or there is very little or no money down on a property. Would you be willing to purchase a property for £1 which is worth millions and gives you lots of passive income? The final meaning is where you use other people's money to put down on a property. What ways can you do ‘No Money Down’? People say you need a mortgage or you need 25% or you need to go through an estate agent, none of these things is necessarily true. This is not what creative property investors do. You need time, you need knowledge, you need the money to get into Property. It doesn’t happen to be your money, however. There isn’t enough money to give back everyone the money there is in their account. A lease option is a really powerful strategy, which allows you to control someone else's property. When you buy a house, you get a title deed. It has the owner name and it has the address on it alongside anyone else who has an interest in the company. This means you get control of the title deed, which gives you control of the mortgage, cash flow and profit. Rent-to-rent is a great option. You can get control of other people's property and the cash flow without the deposit. We’ll get the landlord to make sure that there is a few months free rent, you can even get the furniture in buy now pay later scheme. You rent the property, and then you put the tenants in the property. People don’t want the hassle of managing a property. If you don’t have a deposit rent to rent can be great. Rent-to-Buy. There are lots of people who are in rented accommodation and they want to buy a house but they can’t afford to. You pay the market rent and have an option to buy later. The purchase price is locked in on day one. So you can move in, or someone else can be moved in. There is no cost to the landlord, the purchase price can be increased. Buy-to-Flip. There are costs to this when you are doing the refurbishment. Buy-to-flip has to pay an additional 3% stamp duty which has eaten into profits. But an assisted sale could be useful. This is where you joint venture with the homeowner. You pay the refurbishment and increase a purchase price up front. You can split the sale cost after the event, so it's a win-win from the homeowner. You can joint venture with someone else to pay for the refurb costs as well. Planning Gain. You don’t need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain. This could be where you get an option to buy on a plot of land, and submit planning permission and then sell your option to buy. Best Moments ‘Just because some money is needed it doesn't have to be your money.’ ‘Don’t think that without any savings ‘Money doesn’t really exist.’ ‘The situation of the homeowner is more important that the ‘Lease option is a really powerful strategy’ ‘In a leasehold, you are not buying the house.’ ‘People don’t want the hassle of managing a property.’ ‘There are opportunities to make money in areas where people don’t want to do the work.’ ‘A tenant-buyer property contract you have the security of ownership.’ ‘Buy-to-flip pay an additional 3% stamp duty.’ ‘You don’t need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain.’ ‘Joint venturing is a hugely powerful strategy.’ ‘You can exchange your time and knowledge for their money.’ ‘Don’t pedestalize the money.’ ‘The more you network the more money you can make.’ ‘One of your greatest assets is the time and willingness.’ ‘Ask people to look at your deals before you go to investors.’ ‘Don’t chase for the money.’ ‘Sell through not to.’ About Your Host Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	16 Sep 2024	UK Leading Creative Property Solicitor Tells All	00:31:16
Shimon Rudich of MS Law joins Kev to talk about creative property investing including the many options out there and the most effective ways of utilising them to grow your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to be willing to think outside of the box and out of your comfort zone in order to use creative property investing techniques. If you want to scale quickly and make money faster then creative property techniques are the way forward for you. There are many similarities between what is happening now and 2008, if the housing market crashes there will be many opportunities for experienced property investors. If the market crashes, as a property investor you pay less but you can still charge the same rent. It also ‘culls’ a lot of investors that aren’t serious so can be a positive thing for you as an investor. There isn’t one single strategy that works for everyone or even every situation. You must tailor your strategy to your unique circumstances. BEST MOMENTS “Different people have different mentalities” “If you only do things in one way you limit the opportunities” “We buy properties to make money and instead of buying in the usual way we can buy to make more money, why say no” “They deserve to be out of the game” “Less competition, pay less, what’s bad about a market crash now?” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

There’s no need to quit your full-time job if you want to start your property business today. You’ve got so much time—that you may not know of—which we could use to finally realise that business idea.

In this episode, Kevin gives the 8 essential tips on how you can optimise your precious time. You can even do some of your tasks while at the office, while commuting, or while doing some chores. There’s really no reason anymore to make an excuse. Put in that determination and action, everything else will follow. Start tuning in today to the Progressive Property Podcast to learn more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tip #1: Time Management. Commit to one task a day. There are 365 days in a year. That’s a lot of time to grow your business. You can even do the smallest on your busy days and use the weekends for the time-consuming ones. Tip #2: Go to work early, leave work late. In this way, you can beat the traffic. We can use the time you spend on the road on something more important while you’re at the office waiting. Tip #3: Listen to podcasts. It’s efficient if we learn about property during our downtime or doing household chores or on our drive home, as long as listening won’t put you in any harm.

	07 May 2024	Cash in a Property Crash - Why is NOW the right time to get into Property	00:26:51
Kevin is interviewed about his new book, "Cash in a Property Crash". Kevin shares critical insights on the current state of the UK property market, predicting a significant crash following the election. He reveals strategies for investors to not only survive but thrive during this downturn, and talks about the importance of education and creative thinking in property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK is in a property market correction and heading towards a crash, with many people struggling to afford their mortgages due to rising interest rates. Financing property deals is more about mindset than actual money; the wealthy control debt and leverage other people's money and properties. Property investing should be treated as a business, focusing on building a portfolio during a crash rather than saving for a single property. The system is designed to keep people in the middle class, paying taxes, and unaware of financial strategies used by the wealthy. Creative property investing techniques, such as lease options and vendor financing, can help investors acquire properties with little to no money down. Self-education is crucial for building wealth, as formal education primarily prepares people for jobs and paying taxes. BEST MOMENTS The great thing about property is anybody can do it. The jobs you do today are probably a lot more difficult than property." "The system doesn't survive without the middle class. And the system doesn't want people to be financially savvy, because if they're financially savvy, then they'll stop paying the taxes "I didn't put any money into my office deal, but on my home, I didn't just do my home with no money. My home, I was paid to purchase it." "Self-education makes you a fortune. Formal education makes you a living."

	08 Jul 2019	Self Management Vs Outsourcing	00:20:44
Should I manage my own properties or outsource them to a lettings agency? This might be a question that you are asking yourself, as you start your journey in property. From his fifteen years experience in property, where he now owns his own lettings agency, Kevin McDonnell gives his take on how you should go about it. Whether it’s making sure you get experience self-managing a property, to the benefits of partnering up with an existing agency in a JV partnership, Kevin gives you all the pros and cons of Self-management vs Outsourcing. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I start out in property I thought I would have to do everything. When I started I would always do everything from meeting the tenants, gaining references, prepare and write the contracts. I’d do the repairs, and deal with the day to day issues. I thought that was what an investor required. Whereas today I find great deals and my partner manages out the letting agency on a day to day basis. Learning what the agents need to do. Self-management is a good thing to do at least a small amount. You’ll find out what kind of problems that your tenants have. Your tenants are your clients and you are providing them with a service which you need to provide to the best of your ability. This will also save you on the management fees but cost you in time. This will make sure you have the experience so you know your agent is doing things in the right way. What sort of systems should you have to self manage? I used for my first ten properties, Microsoft Excel. There are loads of fancy apps, but if you have ten properties you can manage them on a spreadsheet. Just get your first house and manage it on Excel. Once it becomes too big, over ten properties, you should look at things like Arthur or GoTenant. We have now moved on to Jupix because we are running a letting agent, and my JV partner runs that but that’s too complicated and costly for if you are just starting out. Give your first couple of properties to an agency. Learn how to do it properly, learn how to self manage your property. Then take on property to self manage so you get an inside guide to what they go through. Learn everything that an agency does. An agency does a lot of work from people who say they are interested in that property, lodge the deposit, gaining references and sorting out contracts. I found a JV partner. I found a local guy who was running a satellite office but he wasn’t on the high street. He was like a virtual agent. I approached him. I asked him to move into the high street into a property that I had bought. He’s 50/50 in the letting agents. I have a JV partner and he gets 50% of the profits. BEST MOMENTS ‘Its about being smarter with your time.’ ‘Be an investor rather than a landlord.’ ‘Since outsourcing, I have more time to think.’ ‘Make sure you see your tenants as clients.’ ‘You don’t need fancy software to manage one house.’ ‘Get perfect later.’ ‘It was cheaper to manage in house.’ ‘The management fees from other landlords pay for the fees.’ ‘When you're starting out you don’t have a skillset.’ ‘Agents do a lot of work.’ ‘You can shadow an agency.’ ‘I wanted to be a business owner.’ ‘It’s a win, win situation.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.xero.com/uk/ https://jupix.com https://gotenant.co.uk https://www.arthuronline.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST  Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	04 Feb 2020	How to Network Like a Pro	00:19:23
Kevin McDonnell talks us through the Dos and Don’ts of successful networking. Networking events can be daunting and can be unsuccessful and time-consuming if you don’t make that unforgettable first impression! Tune in today to find out how you can grow your network, make a lasting impression, attract JV partners and property investors and ensure that every networking event is a success! KEY TAKEAWAYS Where Can You Network? There are many places you can go to network. Progressive property run about 40 property networking events all over the country, meaning it is likely there will be a PPN event near you. However, it is not only about networking events, but it is also a great idea to attend business networking events both locally and in different parts of the country. Have in your networking plan, to attend other types of events as well as events in other locations around the UK and the rest of the world that can help build your power team. What To Do At Networking Events? Have a clear plan before you attend, don’t just attend a networking event to listen to guest speakers. You should be bringing business cards to the events, you need to have a way that you can capture people's attention. As well as handing out your business cards, make sure you collect other people's contact details. You want to be listening to others, more than you are speaking about yourself. Learn a little bit about people, keeping your eyes and ears open to find the person who is looking to invest. If you do get the chance to tell people a little bit about yourself, keep it to a minimum and have what's called an ‘Elevator Pitch’, practice this at home before you attend. Focus your pitch on the features and benefits of working with you. Make a list of people you need to help fulfill your power team, and go to the networking events to specifically source these people. -A key part of attending networking events is the number of people you speak to. You don’t need to spend the entire event talking to just one or two people, you will be missing out on speaking to the majority of people at the event. The main goal of each networking event you attend should be to collect as many people’s contact details as possible. Dress well when you attend a networking event. Don’t give people the opportunity to have a negative impression of you based on the way that you present yourself. Give people the opportunity to talk about themselves, only speak about yourself if you’re asked. Ask them, how you can help them and what they’re looking for that can be mutually beneficial. Do not try to sell them things within the first few moments of meeting them. BEST MOMENTS “If you really want to scale your networking business, if you want to do a lot of property deals, then you’re going to need the help of other people” “A wise person once said, ‘you’ve got two ears and one mouth, you should move them in the proportion” “People want to work with people that they know, like and trust” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode, Mark explains how to protect yourself and the importance of due diligence when engaging in joint venturing, borrowing, and lending money. Mark talks about the checks you can do to ensure you don’t make any mistakes when choosing someone to work with as well as red flags to look out for and how to identify them. He also talks about how to check for credibility in people, businesses and investments and other ways you can invest money in a careful and considered way. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to know someone for at least 6 months before choosing to invest with them. Ask for someone's credit file to get a good picture of whether what they are saying is true. Ask specific questions about their current investments and their portfolio. You can ask an individual to apply for basic disclosure to show any unspent convictions however this won’t show you many things that are historical. Ask for past people they have done deals with, you can cross-reference these with the land registry to ensure they are legitimate. A good brand and social media profile isn’t a good enough reason to trust someone. You must do legitimate checks on anyone you work with. It’s essential you find a solicitor that is your own and they check any agreements instructed by you before signing any deals. You should carry out the same due diligence on anybody, no matter who they are and what appearance they give out. BEST MOMENTS ‘"I call them toilet paper in a way because I've got a personal guarantee only." “Try and work out if they are the sort of person you can trust, telling the truth and whether you like them” “I would only lend on a first charge basis and I’d only lend on a 70% loan to value” “Just because someone looks like they’re doing something, doesn't mean you should be doing any less due diligence” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	27 Feb 2024	Why the UK Recession is Good News for Property Investors	00:13:07
The UK is officially in a recession. In this episode, Kev talks about the news and how it may impact you as a property investor. He discusses what might happen with interest rates, the opportunities and creative techniques available to property investors and why this is the perfect time for you to scale your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are different challenges now to 2008, particularly around inflation. The Bank of England will be feeling pressure to reduce interest rates. A recession can be an opportunity for property investors, there will be a lot of deals out there. There are two types of sellers in a recession, those that want to sell and those that have to. The main form of control you have as an investor is the money you put in today, the rental income you make and how you scale your business. Recessions are great periods to scale your business. Don’t confuse good debt with bad debt. Good debt is serviced by someone else that creates profit for you. There is a looming house price drop but in the long term, the prices will always increase. Property investing is about the longer-term trends.

	02 Feb 2021	How I Bought My First BTL During Lockdown	00:33:10
Kevin is joined by just two of Progressive Properties successful students Alex and Kate Moyes, today they discuss their journey on purchasing and renovating their first buy to let property. Together they discuss the knowledge gained on their first deal, the importance of being honest about our experience with your investors and why the property market is the best way to invest your money. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people focus on the money they make on their property deals. The money is good, but knowledge and experience you have gained from doing the project is priceless. Good tradespeople are not typically available. You are going to have to wait for them to finish another project before you can get them involved. The earlier you secure them the better. The minute you have your deal agreed you should get your tradespeople lined up. Ask your agent or vendor if you are able to show the tradespeople around before completion. You don’t need to have loads of experience in property. You need to be yourself and you will become investable. There will be people out there that will fund your deals because they trust in you. You are significantly better off investing in property than you are investing in the stock market. Whilst you can get 8% returns on investment in the stock market, you cannot leverage in like you can with property investments. Overall you will make more profit investing in property than you will in stocks and shares. BEST MOMENTS “It has been our playground. The ability to learn has been really powerful” “What you want to happen the day after completion is not show tradespeople around, it is having them starting the work.” “You made yourself be investable by being honest.” “They know that I take it seriously because I am investing in myself.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 \| The Best Stocks \| Property \| Gold & Classic Cars Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Jamie worked in the construction industry and was feeling unfulfilled but read Rob Moore's book Money and hasn't stopped investing and progressing since!

He went to university and became a civil engineer. But after doing his chartership he felt like although he had done everything he had ‘supposed to’ he wasn’t in the position he wanted to be. After reading Rob Moore’s book Money, he was hooked and became obsessed with improving himself and learning how he could get into property investing and become who he wanted to be. Although Jamie has a background in construction and commercial property, he still started his property journey with buy to lets. This is also how Rob and Mark or Progressive Property started, it’s the perfect property strategy for beginners. Just start. There is knowledge out there, easily accessible and even for free.

	14 Feb 2023	SELL or BUY? The Truth About Raising Interest Rates	00:22:32
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right’ or ‘best’ property, meaning you’ll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people’s money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises’ ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property’ ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down’ ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today’ ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	15 Apr 2025	How to Protect Your Portfolio Against Economic Uncertainty	00:27:31
https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kev explore tactics for protecting your property portfolio, including creative financing methods and overlooked opportunities. Whether you're an experienced investor or just beginning, Sean and Kev share knowledge that could potentially save you thousands. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding market dynamics is essential before investing; analyse local trends, employment rates and development plans to identify areas with strong growth potential. Creative financing strategies can unlock deals even in tight credit markets; leveraging joint ventures, private money and seller financing options increases your investment possibilities. Building a reliable power team of professionals (solicitors, agents, contractors) is as important as finding the right property. The right connections can provide off market deals and save thousands in unexpected costs. Due diligence is always essential, thorough inspection of property condition and legal aspects prevents costly surprises. The right exit strategy should be determined before purchase, clarity on your endgame affects every aspect of the investment decision. Mindset separates successful investors from the rest! Continuous learning, resilience through setbacks,and surrounding yourself with positive influences creates the foundation for sustainable property investment success. BEST MOMENTS "Property investment isn't about getting rich overnight; it's about making informed decisions that build wealth consistently over time. I've seen too many people rush in with emotion rather than analysis." "The biggest mistake new investors make is thinking that the deal ends at purchase. That's when the real work begins, managing effectively, controlling costs, and executing your strategy with discipline." "I've seen properties that looked perfect on paper become nightmares because investors skipped proper surveys. That £500 saved upfront cost one client over £30,000 in structural repairs that could have been negotiated into the purchase price." "Market cycles are inevitable, but opportunities exist in every market. When others panic and sell, that's often the precise moment smart investors should be looking to acquire strategically."

	23 Sep 2024	5 Ways How to Add Value to a Property	00:14:08
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities. BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk *FREE DOWNLOAD* How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	27 Oct 2020	7 Things That Make a Good Investment Property	00:25:01
Are you scared of making a mistake? Are you fearful of making a bad investment? In today’s episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Kevin shares with new investors a 7-stage step-by-step guide on purchasing property and how to know if it’s a good investment. Discover how to spot a strong rental demand, where you can add value and what investments are best for instant cashflow. Join the Progressive Property Community KEY TAKEAWAYS Strong rental demand. You should not invest unless you’re sure that you can tenant that property. Research the demographic, demand, value and type of property that rents well in your chosen investment area online and in-person and even survey potential tenants and competition to discover your ideal investment. Cashflow. You need to invest in property that pays a positive cashflow today. Calculate your rental income (turnover) minus your expenses = profit/cashflow. Cashflow will also help to protect you from a recession negatively affecting house prices. Can you add value? Making money is about adding value to a property. Don’t gamble with a property that cannot be improved. Always research the footprint of the property for opportunities to add value. Capital growth potential vs stable property prices. When prices are stable and growth is miserable you will more accurately be able to predict future capital growth potential for that property on that street. Local Economy. Monitor the local economy and understand weather companies will be investing in the area and creating jobs and wealth which will lead to increased rental demand and capital gains. Make your money when you buy. Purchase at the right price, add value and bank future profits. Property Management. Always purchase in an area with good management companies and never manage your investments yourself so that you can focus on finding more deals to increase your wealth. BEST MOMENTS “View other properties to get a good idea of what rental properties should look like” “Property is a business that needs to create you an income today” “If you build up cashflow generating assets, you can replace your income and cover your cost of living” “Equity is vanity, cashflow is sanity” “You cannot add value to new build properties” “Force the value of your property to increase wealth” “Add value and recycle your investment back out by leveraging the banks money” VALUABLE RESOURCES Rob Moore - MONEY ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	07 Feb 2023	How High Will Property Rent Prices Get?	00:20:13
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Rental income is increasing at a staggering rate and there are no signs of it stopping. Listen in to this episode with Kevin to find out what he thinks the future holds for rental prices and what you should be doing right now if you’re a landlord. KEY TAKEAWAYS The cost of living impacts everything, rents have to increase if interest rates are going up and the cost of maintaining a property is increasing too. Rent controls don’t solve anything, landlords just hike up the rent prices upfront before putting tenants in. If you get rid of landlords, who will provide the homes? Kevin can only see rents increasing more in the future, mostly due to supply and demand issues. Landlords are doing their best to help their tenants by making their rents as affordable as possible, in most cases, they aren’t passing all their increases in costs on to the tenant. Now is still a good time to be a landlord, you just need to find the right deals. BEST MOMENTS “The cost-of-living crisis affects everybody” “Rent freezes are a bad idea as it forces those that are looking for homes to have to pay more” “You should not be hoping and wishing to get rid of landlords you should be pushing for more investment because that will mean more stock availability and lower rents” “Many landlord's mortgage repayments have increased by 100%” “The very answer is to provide more accommodation to bring the price down, it’s very simple” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	11 Dec 2018	Questions From The Progressive Community Continued...	00:40:35
There’s been a huge demand for Peter to return with more expert answers, to questions from you guys, in the Progressive Property Community and today, he’s back. Peter shares with you the typical day for a property investor and if you need a permanent office space or not to be successful. He goes on to explore how many hours you should be working when getting into property and who you should include in your property investing power team. Learn all of this and more in today’s episode of The Progressive Property Podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Is there a typical day for a property investor? It depends on your strategy but really all property investors should be out there sourcing deals and finding finance. Now, these two things go hand in hand and as a property investor, you must always be aware of doing both at the same time. If you’re starting out you will need to spend time researching your goldmine area, visiting estate and agents and building rapport with those in and around your investment area. Your network IS your NET-worth. Do property investors need offices or a place to work? If you want to have a mobile lifestyle you don’t want to have an office that ties you down. However, if your particular property strategy scales and grows if may mean that you need offices and a letting agency. If you aspire not to have an office, you need to implement systems and automation in your business so that you can become a more organised paperless office. How many hours should I be looking to work as a fledgeling investor? If you’re still in full-time employment you’re going to have to juggle your time. This means getting organised and cutting out unnecessary tasks from your daily routine so you can free up an hour a day to work on your new property business. Use this time to arrange viewings, scroll through Rightmove and determine your goldmine area. You can easily start with 7-10 hours a week and if you outsource you can perhaps do it with less. What services and specialists will a good property investor have on speed dial? Your strategy determines your power team. There is going to be a different makeup of team dependent on the property strategy you’re implementing. However, one of the most important is your mortgage broker. You will want to have a broker that’s a specialist in your particular strategy. BEST MOMENTS “We should spend at least half of our time networking to find JV funds.” “Everyday plan in raising finance and finding the deals.” “There are tax breaks to having an office.” “With a mobile phone and a tablet you can probably work anywhere.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast If you’re interested in finding out more about the right mortgage product, please email ThePropertyTeacher@gmail.com and Peter will put you in touch with his mortgage broker.

	25 Oct 2022	Should You Buy or Rent a House if When The Property Market Crashes?	00:14:14
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin wants to talk about what is happening in the property market right now and use his decades of experience in creative property techniques to answer the question that keeps being asked, should you rent or buy? KEY TAKEAWAYS Property values have risen well above the cost of affordability for many. Interest rates are going to have to push prices down now, people can’t afford to pay the mortgage rates that will be available. 05’06’07 was very similar to the past three years, it was a boom followed by a drop, this is what Kev thinks will happen next. You can still buy, but you won’t be able to time the market this is for amateurs. Property investing is a long game, if you can afford to buy now then you should. If people can’t afford to own property at today’s rates, then they don’t have a robust business. More millionaires are made when the property market goes down, there are opportunities to be had everywhere. The banks are confident that the rates will be coming down again or they wouldn’t be offering low rates on fixed mortgages. BEST MOMENTS “There’s a lot of people scared out there, a lot of people that don’t know what they should do” “There will be mass repossession, this is my prediction” “The amateur is trying to time the market” “You can make money when the markets going up, you can make money when the markets going down” “If you’re one of my tenants, you should be buying!” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	16 Nov 2021	From Fighting Wars in The Congo & Afghanistan to Property Sourcer & Investor	00:26:55
In this motivating and informative episode Kevin speaks to George Scott about his journey into property investing and the benefits of attending and implementing Progressive Property Training. Discover how tens of thousands of ordinary brits are quietly getting rich with minimum investment! bit.ly/Podcast-MSOPI KEY TAKEAWAYS George would live for months in the jungle of the Congo, eating rice three times a day, sleeping in a hammock and training. Exciting and adventurous for sure but not very compatible with family life which is why George decided something needed to change. George started in deal packaging but had no formal experience. He started to look for somewhere he could learn and was introduced to Progressive Property. After being introduced to Progressive Property, George attended the multiple streams of income course. Since then he has had several good pay days and built a system for himself that works and he can keep repeating over and over. George attributes a lot of his success to the training he has learnt with Progressive Property who gave him the tools, training and systems to find and build success. A lot of George's lead generation is from direct to vendor marketing and spending the money on this is more than worth the deals it produces. Education and action are the two things George believes you need for success in property. Education is key to ensure you are implementing the right strategies in property and stop you making mistakes. Action is all about being proactive and positive to create opportunities for yourself. BEST MOMENTS “George Exchanged a life of being shot at to being a property investor” “It has been a roller-coaster but rarely have I doubted this was the right decision, this has been transformational for me.” “I credit virtually all of this to Progressive as the overarching Training Provider” “You learn and then you grow” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	01 Nov 2022	The Truth About Scaling Your Property Business	00:23:42
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin has over 20 years of experience in property investing and his portfolio is now worth in excess of £10million. But it wasn’t always this way, the first 10 years of Kevin’s property journey wasn’t easy, and he ended up in a significant amount of debt. But he then found Progressive Property training and invested in his education, turning his business around. Listen in to this episode to learn about the truth in building a large property portfolio, learning from both the mistakes of Kevin’s past and the wins he has found in the last decade, particularly around staff. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can’t build a large portfolio all on your own. You need to work with a team. Once Kevin managed to get himself out of debt he then focused on building his portfolio enough for it to be his full-time venture. Staff produce a variety of challenges and this only grows the more you scale. Ensure you pay your staff what they are worth, this works both ways, ensure you don’t overpay as this can become difficult to control. At the beginning of your journey look at remote staff to hire, such as virtual assistants, to help you scale before committing too much to in-house staff. Experienced people who don’t need full-time hours but can be flexible can be great staff to hire before starting with full-time staff.

	27 Oct 2021	BUDGET UPDATE: New Taxes, Investing & Economy Explained	00:41:18
Listen in to this bonus episode where Mark Homer, co-founder and owner of Progressive Property is joined by Shaz Nawaz, chartered accountant and labour councillor as they delve deep into the recently announced budget. They discuss their own views on what Rishi Sunak has announced and also how this will impact many of us in real terms. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rishi Sunak has announced many things in this new budget, nothing that is particularly ground-breaking but quite a few things that will impact property investors and developers. Rishi stated he will be putting 24 billion into affordable housing which will be around 180 thousand new homes – but over what period is this over and will it actually have much of an impact on the housing crisis, house prices and rent? Probably not. Any government who are serious about tackling the housing crisis needs to move away from affordable homes and this term as they do not actually solve anything as they aren’t affordable for those who need them most. Any developers in blocks of flats will have to pay a 4% surcharge on corporation tax to help pay for the removal and replacement of dangerous cladding. Inflation is a hot topic around this budget announcement. It’s important to put this into perspective and understand what is driving this: businesses being shut during the pandemic, supply chain disruption but then high demand as we are going back to normal. This is basic economics and was always going to happen. Shaz has been quite disappointed with this budget announcement. Especially regarding the pressures currently on local government. People care about what is happening to them locally on a daily basis such as street cleaning, business rates and other local provisions: they have had their budgets cut by 80% in Shaz’ local city of Peterborough. There will be a 50% business rates discount/relief for those in the service industry which includes serviced accommodation. Shares of property developers are all up around 1% and large property landlords are also up. This is good news and shows that the market is confident at the moment, perhaps partly due to brownfield land being made available for residential property and changes to permitted development rights continue to help generate retail conversions. There has been talk about a wealth tax to replace inheritance tax. But Mark feels like this is unfair, but he does understand why we need tax. He believes in making a faster economy and generating tax from increased economic activity rather than having large public spending which we can’t afford. BEST MOMENTS “What is sold to be affordable really isn’t affordable to people who can’t afford these homes” “it’s just simple economics, price rises equal inflation, this was always bound to happen” “All politicians just want to deliver good news…some of these ideas or just old ideas” “It’s always good to use those kind of sites as you aren’t going to upset people as you aren’t going to be tearing up the green belt” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

In this episode, Kevin speaks to Curtis, who has joined the podcast today to talk about his journey to success in property, aided by education from Progressive! bit.ly/prspnpod https://we.tl/t-RS0GYVJrwW KEY TAKEAWAYS To be successful in property it’s important to know that ‘your network is your net worth’. To understand that you have a lot to learn and this learning never stops, whether that’s through courses, mentorship or anything else. Curtis’ journey started around 6 years ago, it was his wife’s diagnosis with cancer that pushed him to make a change in his life. He started to absorb any free education he could moving onto courses and support from mentors. His first deal was a HMO and this was truly just the beginning. Curtis has now moved onto developments and refurbishments, his background in construction has really helped with the success of this. You don’t have to always use your own money or experience. You can partner with people to help you with either, or even both, of these. BEST MOMENTS “Like most businesses, this is a people game” “It was that pivotal moment that took us to our lowest point, but once you’re at your lowest you can’t go any lower” “Spot the thing that others aren’t seeing” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	16 Sep 2019	New Council Tax Bandings Spells Trouble For HMOs	00:20:16
If you’re thinking of investing in HMO or converting your current single-let property you need to know this. New council tax banding could be affecting your HMO profitability. If you’re investing in HMO’s or looking to increase your profit margins by converting your single-let, be sure to listen to this episode of The Progressive first. Kevin dives into detail on how local councils are charging tax by the room on some HMO’s, why it’s happening and how you can avoid it. If you want to stay up to date with the most recent property laws and increase your profitibability this episode is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS. Up until recently, the council have always charged one council tax bill per property (HMO) however it could soon be that local councils charge council tax per the room. This would make a significant difference to the profitability of the HMO property. A lot of landlords have invested in HMO rental properties as a way of maximising profitability from a single unit. The way this has been done is by taking a single tenancy unit and converting it into multiple self-contained units that include bedrooms with an en-suite and kitchenette facilities, however, to further increase profitability landlords have opted for a shared kitchen and living facilities for all tenants and as a result, some local council authorities have deemed this as chargeable for multi council tax bills. This drastically affects the profitability of HMO investments. The process works whereby the council will inform the VOA (Valuation’s Office) that and the VOA will place a banding or multi council tax bands on the property as a result of the multi-tenants occupying the self-contained unit. Depending on the ruling this can wipe out the profit from the property for the landlord all together. The reason this change to HMO council bands is coming is due to local council budget cuts and councils are now looking at the regulation of self-contained building with multiple occupants differently. For councils, landlords are an easy target. The council is now looking at HMO’s differently and re-evaluating the status of what is classed as a self-contained unit. One way to try and avoid this new banding is to convert the property with some en-suites but also with a communal bathroom and communal kitchen. The property needs to be habitable by both family and individuals. What does self-contained mean? The term is not directly set in legislation, it is in actual fact set by case law. As a landlord, you need to speak to the VOA if you have any queries, especially if you are looking to convert a property. You are also able to appeal a council tax banding here: gov.uk/council-tax-appeals and challenge your council tax banding. HMO properties are normally let ‘all bills included’ basis and therefore as a landlord, you cannot apply for the 25% council tax discount. There are four things that the council look at when determining the rate for that room these are: Is the property, Beneficial, Exclusive, Actual and Non-Transient. There are a few things as a landlord you can do to avoid multiple council tax charges for your HMO. This includes not having locks on the bedroom doors, ensuites and kitchenettes and more critically If having all of the tenants on one tenancy agreement rather than individual tenancy agreements. BEST MOMENTS. “Councils are not just charging tax by the room, they’re giving it the highest band (A)” “Councils are trying to charge landlords by the room to get more money in.” “Some landlords have had council’s charge them council tax by the room, just because they have locks on the doors, even when the room doesn’t have it’s own bathroom or kitchenette.“ “We’re stuck in the middle of only some HMO’s being charged council tax per room” “You can’t just put your rent up and make the tenant pay. They’ll just leave and go to the competition down the road” VALUABLE RESOURCES: gov.uk/council-tax-appeals ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	07 Sep 2020	Running Down a Rabbit Hole	00:24:57
Learn how to maximise your opportunity to get property deals as Kevin answers your property questions and gives advice on how not to get stuck in the marketing rabbit hole. Learn the importance of ensuring you are consistently marketing yourself and your service, the importance of having a marketing action plan and how to identify no go deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to success in property is that you consistently market. Do not believe something is a deal until it materialises as a deal. When an opportunity arises from your marketing techniques, chase the deal but do not turn off the marketing tap. Continue to market for more opportunities, since that opportunity may not materialise into a viable option. Many people are constantly going after something, and getting disheartened when they don’t get it and they have nothing else lined up in their pipeline. You have to build the pipeline of opportunity by consistently marketing. You need to be persistent in your marketing and ensure you are doing a little bit of everything. One marketing technique is not necessarily better than the other, a combination of techniques may accumulate into a deal. Put together a marketing plan. Start structuring it around consistent actions. Decide what marketing techniques you are going to put out there each week. No matter how many times the phone rings, you should continue to execute your marketing plan week after week. It is not about waiting for that one deal that is going to ‘make it’, it is about consistently doing lots of little deals. Know that if you trust this process a deal will come. Not every property that is on the market either for sale or for rent is going to be a deal, but there are always deals out there. When you get further into your property career you will soon be able to analyse a potential deal and move on from it. Learn how to stop chasing a deal that was never there and stop wasting your time on non-deals, when you could be marketing for more opportunities. BEST MOMENTS “If it turns into a deal, brilliant. What you have to do is make sure you are lining up a lot more opportunities behind it. You don’t want to be going back to square one.” “There is no point getting a deal, that you don’t know how to fill.” “You need to be consistently doing a little bit of everything.” VALUABLE RESOURCES No Money Down Book ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	29 Jan 2021	Property News: New Landlord Licensing Changes	00:12:16
Join your host property expert Kevin McDonnell as he discusses property news from around the UK and the Progressive Property Community. Kevin discusses a possible 6-month delay on new electrical safety standards, why the UK property market is always a safe place to invest in and how to spot a good business partner. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property News: Lettings agents trade bodies have accused many local councils of being socially irresponsible and have called for a pause in the push to have new licensing for landlords brought into place. Safeagent wants a six-month delay on new electrical safety standards being introduced for existing tenancies pushing the deadline out from 1st April until 1st October. There are an estimated 4.5 million households that need these electrical reports carried out. The government has been slammed for missing out Landlords in proposals for new energy efficiency regulations. Property Mark has given its formal response to a consultation triggered by the government about the energy performance of privately rented homes in England and Wales. The new EPC regulations would require all new tenets from April 2025 to meet band C or higher on the energy performance certificate. The UK property market was by far the standout success story of 2020. House prices experienced their highest pace of growth since 2015, finally ending 4 years of Brexit related price stagnation. The one great thing about property is the fact that it is a stable market. It is supply and demand, house prices have always gone up and until the supply and demand issue is sorted house prices will continue to grow. Progressive Community: When choosing a business partner, look closely at their attitude and behaviours before you jump into a business deal with them. Red flag behaviour is a sign of things to come. You need to be very careful of who you chose as a business partner. It is very easy to get into a relationship in business but it is getting out of that relationship that can cause challenges later. Make sure you always have your contracts drawn up legally to protect both you and the other partner. BEST MOMENTS “I feel the government needs to push this back until October as it makes no sense.” “Either way it is something that you need planning into your business.” “Whatever happens in this country we cannot deny that we like on a small island where the population is getting bigger and bigger and we’re not building enough houses.” “Brexit or not, pandemic or not there is a demand for houses in the UK” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 \| The Best Stocks \| Property \| Gold & Classic Cars Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

He also talks about the positive impact the Progressive property courses and community has had on his investment journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Chris started by doing a couple of ‘flips’ without realising at the time they were flips. His first was his grandparents house where he lived in the property whilst renovating before selling. After the breakdown of his marriage, Chris put property on the back burner but he still had tough decisions to be made, resultin gin him choosing to sell his family home and keep his property portfolio. He then signed up for progressive’s MSOPI and by the end of the event he had signed up for two additional courses. Networking with other investors and people in the Progressive Property community has been invaluable to Chris. If you’re looking for a strategy, tenant-buyer is a good choice. This is an option Chris used when he wanted to help someone out but when he also had a cashflow problem. If you are struggling in your property journey then Chris says to simple ask those around you and consider all your options carefully. There is usually a solution to your problem.

	18 Dec 2018	Key Info For ANYONE Interested in Property Investment. Plus Your Questions Answered!	00:38:37
Welcome back to the Progressive Property Podcast. In this latest episode your host Peter Jones, takes a look at some of your questions and tries to answer them. Peter answers questions on which regions are good for property investments, do you need to relocate as an investor and actually where do investors buy property? With fascinating and insightful answers Peter gives you some really key info for anyone interested in property at whatever stage of your career? Key Takeaways Can Any Region Of the UK Work for a Property Investor? Yes, there will be deals everywhere. Peter recommend researching which property strategies works in your region. HMO’s, serviced accommodation and commercial refurbishments will work in most regions. The only strategy which is more region is buy-to-let’s through the BRR model which can be difficult in some regions such as London. Returns in London might be 3 or 4% which is hard to sustain cash flow. Do You Need To Relocate? No, can you find a JV partner, who can help you source the area for you and help you find properties. Sometimes you can do this from a distance, or you can relocate but you don’t have to. People do relocate into different regions but like all these things it depends on your circumstances and your strategy. Where Do Investors Buy Property From? This does depend on your strategy, as different strategies will dictate your different options. For example, with buy-to-lets, you can go to Estate Agent which is a really simple, easy way to find properties. There is more than enough properties to cover different investors in your area. Your job as an investor is to go through the detail and make sure the numbers add up. There are other more creative ways to find properties such as gorilla marketing as you are going directly to the vender. Property auctions can be helpful but if you’re new to property it can be difficult as there is a lot of groundwork beforehand. You can pay out a lot of fees before the auction and still not get a single bid in. How Can I Spot A Good Area? What Signs Are There That The Values Will Rise In The Area? An area is only a good area if your strategy works in that specific area. It doesn’t matter if your prices are going up if your strategy doesn’t work. Then it’s not a good area. There is an argument that property investors should focus on cash flow rather than capital values, higher values aren’t always helpful. Individuals investors can’t change the market. Infrastructure and the geography of the city with the relation to the suburbs, such as areas which are improving can all affect the market. Are There Other Ways Of Making Money From Property Not Just Buying and Selling? Yes, there are other ways like packaging up properties or sourcing properties. Some of the properties that we look at and don’t buy it might work for other people. Not everyone wants to be a professional investor. Some people would like a small extra income. You can do the deal and then sell the deal on. Another reason might be when you have a large number of properties you could set up your own Letting Agency. Another way is to educate people in property through mentoring for example. Should I Only Buy Properties Near Where I Live? There are advantages to buying near where you live, as you know the local area, the potential suburbs which you can use and it cuts down on travel time. You are leveraging yourself in that regard. There is a downside however in that you run the risk of managing these properties and getting bogged down in tenant complaints for example. Purchasing at a distance forces you to allow others to manage your properties. It can be helpful to buy near where you live, but not necessarily. Best Moments ‘Most strategies work in most regions. Except for buy-to-lets through BRR.’ ‘Your options are always dependant on your strategy.’ ‘If something is easy and something is hard always try the easy first.’ ‘Make sure you do your due diligence.’ ‘It doesn’t matter if your prices are going up if your strategy doesn’t work then it’s not a good area.’ ‘Cashflow is the foundation of everything.’ ‘Values tend to go up with improvements to infrastructure like a new road, or a new business.’ ‘The past can be a good guide to the future.’ ‘We all buy for different reasons.’ ‘Many people would like to be mentored by someone only a few steps ahead rather than someone light years ahead.’ ‘You have to buy property that works for you.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ If you’re interested in finding out more about the right mortgage product, please email ThePropertyTeacher@gmail.com and Peter will put you in touch with his mortgage broker.

And I was wished all the best, and the phone was put down on me." "If they were willing to buy the property, do it up, and then wait for their return on investment, so then becomes a longer game, that would work." "Because it's not just veterans who are struggling.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Questions from the Progressive Property community What questions should you ask a management company? One thing to look at is how they structure their company. Look to deal with specialist management companies that also deal with Lettings. This way if you have a tenant move on you can seamlessly market the property and let it out again, inhouse. Look to see if they are a local company or part of a chain and from here you can see their systems and processes. For example, do they do inspections and home visits? Do they specialise in letting certain property strategies? Really you want to know as much as possible and especially “What is your procedure if a tenant goes into arrears?” What would you do differently if you were starting now? If I knew then what I know now it would most likely have been different. Times have changed since I started investing in 2000 with software, systems, communities and training more available now than ever. Things are now much better for investors than they used to be. To be honest I would have done more flips and been less cautious. If possible I would have looked to invest more in HMO’s and commercial conversions with the new planning laws. I’d also like to have done more options and delayed completion deals during the credit crunch. Finally, if I were to start again now, I would raise a lot more private finance and joint-ventures from the beginning. What advice would you recommend for a complete beginner? The key thing for a beginner is getting started. The one thing that always lets them down is simply fear. It’s rarely the case that you’ll go out and lose all of your money if you’ve been educated. Make sure you just get started and take action, you don’t need to wait to find your goldmine area you can get started anywhere. It’s better to invest somewhere than to invest nowhere. The one thing you should know is your reasons why, what you’re trying to achieve and how you’ll achieve it. BEST MOMENTS “Problems compound with time. You need to nip it in the bud as soon as possible” “Always back yourself and go for it” “Your network is your NETworth” “Even a mistake in property will grow out in time” “It’s better to invest somewhere than to invest nowhere” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ https://omny.fm/shows/progressive-property-podcast/ppp-100?in_playlist=progressive-property-podcast!podcast ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor.

	20 Aug 2024	CDM Regulations: What You Need to Know with Darren Burrows	00:15:38
Darren and Kev talk about a frequently forgotten topic in property, CDM regulations. Darren shares his experience in property and CDM regulations and talks about why he is so passionate about teaching others the importance of understanding how to protect themselves. Kev and Darren also outline the scenarios where CDM regulations matter and how to protect yourself as a property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS CDM regulations stand for construction, design and management regulations. This is essentially about running construction projects in the right way. CDM regs apply to you in any non-domestic construction. As the client, as the investor, understanding or having someone who understands the CDM regulations is essential to protect yourself. On a large project, it can be worth paying for one contractor to deal with all sub-contractors, to save you time and derisk the project. When choosing a contractor ask for recommendations and ask them if they will work to CDM regs. BEST MOMENTS "CDM regs are in place regardless of what project you’re in, so anything to do with construction” “People get scared by it (CDM Regulations) because they think it’s a big thing” “Always ask contractors if they’ll work to CDM regs” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://linktr.ee/darrenburrows Taurus Project Solutions - https://www.taurus-property.com/projects?r_done=1 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darren.burrows1/?locale=en_GB LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenburrows1/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuGLmCrylHRvjsovzotwuQQ MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	26 Feb 2019	Commercial Conversions With David Kemp; Chartered Surveyor & Experienced Solicitor!	00:59:37
For anyone who wants to know more about commercial conversion, what is prior approval, the advantages of prior approval and risks you should avoid this episode is for you. Listen to Peter Jones as he interviews experienced solicitor and chartered surveyor, David Kemp. KEY TAKEAWAYS Commercial Conversions: This is the ultimate course on converting the commercial property to residential. What is prior approval? Prior approval is a bit of a fast track process, so instead of having to go through the very long elongated process of planning permission, it's a bit of a fast track. So it removes a lot of the obstacles to it and it's sort of a legal lead process with a bit of planning policy in between and because it's a bit like permitted development. What are the advantages of prior approval? It takes most of the politics out of the process. So what you'll find is a lot of counsellors that can’t call in these applications because under the internal rules of every local council, they have what's called a scheme of delegation and sometimes if it's politically controversial, they don't like losing offices for instance, then counsellors try to call these things and they can't do that with prior approval. Prior approval is a much more straightforward route, it's a bit more technical and also it has a set period to be decided, in that applications have to be determined within 56 days or eight weeks and if they're not, then in pretty much all cases, if not most cases of what's called prior approval in the law, you get planning permission straightaway for the change of usage. It's only for a change of use. There are a few exceptions around the law where you can have external alterations included, and you get that with agricultural prior approval from an agricultural building to residential, but most of it is to do with a change of use. So if you need to make external alterations to a buildings windows, doors, roof slope etc that sort of thing, then you have to apply for the Planning Commission separately for that. Risks leading to you not getting prior approval. There are different prior approval, so there are offices to residential, there's agricultural to residential and so on so forth. You've got four risks under office to residential. You've got noise. The premise that is to be converted from offices to residential must be in a location free of noise for you to get that approval. You’ve got ground contamination. Some offices, particularly in rural areas, are built on former agricultural land so there may be pesticides and so the offices must be in a location which is not contaminated. Traffic and parking. There should be ample parking lots for the total units in the premise. Sometimes before you're going to acquire a site, it's worth having a parking consultant as part of your power team. Flood risk. There are two types of flooding that we tend to look at and that surface water flooding and also flooding from rivers and seas. The offices must be in a location that does not flood for you to get that approval from the council. Instead of prior approval, when would you use planning? You need planning permission when you are erecting a new building or you're changing use. So whenever you fall into those two categories, you're going to need planning permission. BEST MOMENTS “So if you need to make external alterations to building it will have to like Windows, doors, change the roof slope, that sort of thing, then you have to apply the Planning Commission separately for that.” “If there's something like an office building and you want to turn it to residential, basically the local authority can't stop you.” “Wherever the air is more rarefied, there is an obvious opportunity there to steal a match on your competitors and pick up a site for pretty good value and to be able to do something with it.” “Just use what's there, don't get clever.” “The bigger the development, the bigger the mistake.” “Choose one thing, get good at it, try and systemize it and control your time on it.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST David Kemp is a barrister, he is also a solicitor and he is also a chartered surveyor. He's got a lot of experience in planning and has done a lot with local authorities. He was a senior or principal planning lawyer for about 10 different councils.

	24 Dec 2024	NMD Techniques Get started in Property Investment this year!	00:23:19
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD What is the best property investment strategy this year? Join Kevin in the first episode of 2024 of the Progressive Property Podcast and learn all about no-money-down (NMD) techniques and why they could work for you in your property investing journey! KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategies vary in their success depending on the area but all strategies work all the time. Historically buy to let, commercial conversions, HMOs and serviced accommodation have always worked and always will. Before you think about which investment strategy to use you need to first get the ‘house’ or property. This is where no money-down techniques come in. No money-down property investment techniques allow you to scale. Don’t confuse property investing with property owning. Most investors own a job but don’t always have lots of properties in their ownership at one time. Cash and a mortgage aren’t the only ways to get into property investing. Time and debt are valuable resources, using no money down techniques you focus on buying these rather than focusing on the physical asset Those with a poor mindset follow the system of getting into debt at a young age and out of debt for retirement. BEST MOMENTS “You can’t do property with your money down” “Most property investors, they own a job” “No money down investment techniques allow you more ideas than traditional thinking” “The richest people on this planet have the most good debt” “If you retire with no debt you’ll likely retire without significant wealth” “There’s a big difference between good debt and bad debt” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Want to Connect with Carole?

	28 Jun 2021	New Tenant Eviction Laws - What This Will Mean For Landlords & Property Investors	00:17:26
In this episode Kevin explores the knock on effect to the new tenant eviction laws. Have you struggled with tenants over the pandemic, have you experienced lengthy delays, damage or non-payment? Get in touch with Kevin, he would love to hear from you. KEY TAKEAWAYS The average time to evict a tenant is about to soar. The average time to evict could now take an additional 6 months on top of the already 44 week average. One way to protect yourself as a landlord, is to ensure you get references for tenants if renting directly or that you are using a recommended and reputable lettings agency to do this for you. The green homes grant has been stopped, the government need to come up with an alternative quickly if they are going to meet their emissions target by 2050. When at auction, if you get into a bit of a bidding war, make you are far enough apart to not cause confusion and save any embarrassment further down the line – you don’t want you both thinking you have won!

Toni and Emerald join the podcast to talk about Michael Goves’s housing crisis speech, the pressure on housing prices in the South of England and whether buy to let is now dead. KEY TAKEAWAYS House prices dropping can present some unique opportunities for investors so don't be frightened by headlines. Average house prices are now falling on a yearly basis in most places in the UK -vs- the last two or three years. However in Yorkshire, Midlands and Northern Ireland they have actually increased. Sales are half of what they were this time last year but last year we were still in a bubble, Toni believes the market is simply correcting itself. The government needs to support landlords, they play a critical role in plugging the housing shortage gap but instead, they keep bringing in more regs and rules to punish them. The government need to take some ownership of the current situation. BEST MOMENTS “It’s the largest year-on-year decrease since 2011” “We like that Forbes tells you one thing on one page and something totally different on the next” “What goes up must come down” “The asking price is irrelevant as it’s usually been created by over-enthusiastic estate agents” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

She joins Kev in this episode to talk about how she managed to secure two deals in just two weeks of starting her journey and what she has learnt since then to help grow and build her property business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 70, 20 and 10 rule helps you diversify your business strategies without putting the wrong attention on the least important things. You spend 70% of your time on your main strategy, 20% on your second and then 10% on your third. Jennifer started day trading at just the age of 13, this was her main business strategy until starting in property. Deal packaging is what Jennifer has been drawn to, she likes being out chasing and creating deals. Jennifer’s mum was a customer of Progressive Properties training courses and recommended them to Jennifer which is how she got started. Being young and lacking experience were Jennifer’s main barriers to securing deals but she says that having self-confidence and people skills are what helped her present herself and sell herself well. Reward comes with risk, it’s about managing and controlling that risk. BEST MOMENTS “I started trading at 13” “The deal packaging is a similar feeling to stocks” “Confidence is key and talking to people, people skills” “I like high risk” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	01 Oct 2018	Finding The Right Property Deals at Your Local Estate Agents	00:21:48
Welcome to another episode of the Progressive Property Podcast. Today, Peter explains how you can find a limitless amount of deals, simply by visiting your local estate agents. A question Peter is often asked is ‘how do I find deals?’ the answer, start with what you’re trying to achieve. When you’re clear on what you want, you can decide on the right property strategy for the right property deal. Believe it or not, the best place to find vanilla buy-to-let BMV deals is at your local estate agents. There are tons of deals out there and you can use a multitude of property strategies to cashflow them. All you need to do is, get to know your area, build a relationship with your local agents and as a result, you’ll find the right deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS The perception is, you cannot get a good BMV deal from your local estate agents. This is absolutely not true, in fact if you’re creative and know the right property strategy you can find lots of deals at your local agent. Most deals come down to the motivation of the seller and what they’re looking to achieve. Investors earn their money by doing the due diligence, the digging and the market research to see if a property can become a deal and earn a profit with a particular property strategy Before going to your local estate agent, be absolutely clear on what you’re looking for. Go to all of your letting agents in your local area and hone in on the type of property that rents well and that there is demand for. Then you can approach your local estate agents with a clearer idea of the right investment property. Go into the estate agents with confidence and know what you’re looking for, visit regularly and build rapport with them so you can become a preferred buyer and secure future deals BEST MOMENTS “Visit your estate agent once a week to stay in their mindset” “There are enough deals in your local area for you to become a full-fledged property investor” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor.

Hear the inspiring journeys of up and coming property investors, seasoned pros and millionaire developers. Learn more about the mindset needed to succeed in property, the power of pipelining and why following up on offers and getting the deal done is essential to success. Peter shares insights from the UK’s #1 property investing community that can help any property investor no matter where you are on your journey. Finally, Peter shares some important information about the future of bank lending, the cyclical nature of property investment and tackles the question of ‘the normal pattern of property and the future of market prices’ Join the Progressive Property Community here: KEY TAKEAWAYS Alex Milburn - “Over the last 7 months I have acquired 40 rent2rent serviced accommodation units and achieved a million pound turnover, without using a penny of my own money” Ryan Quinn - “A wise man once told me that the best deals are the quickest or the ones you have to spend time waiting for. I have to admit I was sceptical, how could a property that has sat in your pipeline for months, ever become a good deal. I went to view a property in March and five months later it fell through and I was able to negotiate a deal” Dan Cheetham - “£25,000+ profit from a single flip, I offered on a property about a month ago that was well under asking price and after some negotiating it was accepting. It fell through and four weeks passed with the property still unsold. After 6-7 weeks the asking price dropped and with some further discount, a deal was agreed. Purchase price £110,000, Refurb £26,000, Total investment £141,000, Forecast sale price £170,000 and total profit from the deal. £26,500 Alex Szepietowski - “six-month rule, what six months rule Kent Reliance? With bank lending getting easier, does it mean a crash isn't a million miles away?” BEST MOMENTS “Don’t do things in the vacuum, learn how to do it and get training. Invest in yourself and gear your mindset towards success” “The key thing to all success is the mindset. You can all of the technological stuff, all of the techniques, but nothing will make a difference unless you understand the mindset to take action.” “The key to success is massive action, work out what it is you want to achieve and work out the steps to get there” Most of your offers will be rejected, because if they were accepted straight away you’re probably offering too much. Add properties to your spreadsheet and pipeline them. One in three properties falls through so own a process and a system” VALUABLE RESOURCES Progressivepropertycommunity Rob Moore - The Disruptive Entrepreneur Money, Rob Moore Brian Tracey Jim Rohn Tony Robbins Thepropertypodcast CONTACT METHOD Therpropertyteacher.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor.

	13 Aug 2024	Replacing my 45k Teaching Job with ONE Deal \| Sean Fitzpatrick	00:21:51
Sean Fitzpatrick joins Kev to talk about what he has been doing on his property investment journey. He shares why one deal was enough for him to quit his job, and the value of the Progressive community and talks about why investing in your own local area is excellent advice! KEY TAKEAWAYS Sean was told all his life to study hard and get to university, but it was whilst he was there, that he realised that his degree left him very few real options to make a living. He moved to England and sang in church choirs as this provided him accommodation. After a few years, he then became a school teacher but it became exhausting and he knew he needed to do something differently. After listening to the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, something in his brain flipped and he started to think of ways he could turn his current property into an asset. Robert Kiyosaki said he completed a no money down course, and it changed his life so Sean looked into doing a no money down course too, and this is how he found Progressive Property. Sean began to implement some of the things Kevin had told him to do on the course and they worked. In one deal, Sean managed to make enough to earn more than his monthly salary as a teacher and it was then he considered quitting his full-time job. Since his first deal Sean has worked on flipping properties and well as standard buy-to-lets. BEST MOMENTS "I started getting that niggling feeling inside that something wasn’t right, I needed to do something different, I realised unless I did something fairly drastic I would be stuck in the system of constantly working for very little pay” “Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he did a no money down course and that’s the thing that changed his life” “It turns out that Kevin McDonnell was right!” “Follow the successful and the success follows” “That one deal gave me the flexibility of thinking about leaving my job” VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sean.fitzpatrick.752/?_rdr MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	21 May 2024	Fleeceholders: Are Leaseholders pulling the WOOL over our eyes? Service Charges Scandal	00:27:15
Alana joins Kev in this episode to talk about leaseholders and service charges. They discuss why this may be the next scandal and how the government, councils and owners can tackle the problem. They also talk about why new builds are never a good investment strategy as a house buyer and the inflated prices they charge. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some developers are claiming the leasehold charges are for the upkeep of things like roads and playparks. Developers may build parks to get planning in areas that previously would be refused. These leasehold properties on new builds aren’t transparent. Many house buyers are completely unaware of what they are buying into. Kev believes that these types of leasehold charges on new houses should be banned. We pay enough council tax that councils should be paying for roads, parks etc… New build houses are always sold for an inflated price. Legislation should be targeting the bad 5% of tenants and landlords, not the good 95%. Most current laws and legislation are hurting the good tenants and landlords. BEST MOMENTS “New build developers are advising houses for sale but they are being sneaky” “This just screams dodgy to me” “You’re almost living on a toll road when you move into one of these estates” “They’re creating a legacy for generations to come” “It’s kind of a legal-robbery” “95% of landlords are great but it’s the 5% that give them a bad name” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	19 Jan 2021	How to Invest £500,000 Mark Homer & Rob Moore	00:52:55
Mark is joined by fellow co-founder of Progressive Property Rob Moore and together they discuss how you can get the highest returns when investing £500,000. Learn today how £500,000 could allow you to invest in 14 single let properties, why it would be a good idea to invest your money in a freehold block of flats and how you can make huge savings by purchasing your own office blocks. WATCH ON YOUTUBE How To Perfectly Invest £500,000 \|Property \| Stock Market \| Business SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes KEY TAKEAWAYS Property: With a £500,000 property investment you can secure 14 single-let properties with a price range of £120,00-£130,00 and putting down a £35,000 deposit. These properties can be running simultaneously with a refurb scheduled every 6-9 months. It is a great strategy to achieve long term capital growth. Many units on the high street have been battered and valuations have dropped in a big way and many are empty. There is a big opportunity to put a shop in the unit and convert the uppers into flats. There are a lot more of these opportunities to come; we are only at the beginning of this. With £500,000 you can buy a freehold block of flats. The property may need a refurb and once this is done you are able to rent all the flats out. These are good investments because since you own the freehold it is similar to buying a house, you don’t have all the ground rent. There are really good opportunities since the values have dropped and there are currently plenty of tenants available. It is a very good idea to buy your own office blocks for your company. By buying your own office building you are making a huge saving every year and the property itself will go up in value every single year. Stocks and savings: Cars: If you are going to invest in classic cars it is best to start off with something cheap. Buy a low mileage, better quality car and in the end, you will make a better profit. Work your way up and build up your collection. Buy a ‘Classic Car’ insurance policy if your car is garaged which will allow you to keep your insurance costs down. Assets: Holding physical gold is a good investment. Buy the gold physically and put it in a secure vault and allow the asset to mature. Whilst it is a possibility to buy a company with half a million pounds, you really do need the experience to know if what you are investing in is a viable business. People will usually try and sell you something that works for them and often it will not be worth your money. BEST MOMENTS “You are going to end up with a great return on investment.” “You’ve really got to know what you’re doing.” “If you have a passion for something you are going to learn how to do it well, if not better than anyone else.” “Your timing of what you buy is really important and sometimes it is wise to wait for the market to come back down.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode:How To Perfectly Invest £500,000 \|Property \| Stock Market \| Business Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

	05 Sep 2022	How to Fix The Housing Crisis	00:30:16
Kevin has been investing in property for 18 years, has built up a multi-million pound business and uses creative property investment strategies. In this episode, Kevin reacts to a recording of Judge Rinder on Good Morning Britain about landlords. Kevin gives his take and insight on this video and gives his thoughts on how we can actually tackle the Housing Crisis in the UK. KEY TAKEAWAYS Yes, there are rogue landlords out there. But Kevin, his team and the landlords Progressive Property train are not part of them. In fact, they invest in run-down, sub-standard properties and make them better for future tenants of theirs as well as bringing properties back into use. Section 21 can get abused by some landlords. But Kevin has never done this, he wants his tenants to treat the property as their home. We have to think about the other side, section 21 is there for bad tenants, for the ones who don’t look after the property, who don’t pay on time. There are also many landlords out there who aren’t investors, that just have one property-when that tenant doesn’t pay or creates expensive repairs it can leave them in financial ruin. There is a lot of unnecessary red tape and it actually becomes an obstacle for tenants and landlords when there are issues to be solved. Unfortunately there are many tenants that don’t look after a rental property in the same way they would if they owned it. This is especially demonstrated when it comes to preventing damp. Not opening windows, not wiping down the shower and drying clothes incorrectly can cause damp issues, simple things that could be avoided. The types of property Kevin buys/invests in aren’t properties that would appeal to first time buyers. He isn’t creating competition for them as they wouldn’t purchase what he does, without landlords like him they simply wouldn’t be bought. Everything has to be in balance. There needs to be robust legislation that supports both landlords and tenants. To solve the housing crisis the country needs to become creative with solutions, the government, councils and landlords need to work together: -We need better accommodation to solve the housing crisis. There are plenty of buildings out there, it’s about bringing them back into use and to a good enough standard. The council could work with landlords to bring these back into use. -We need a more streamlined way of the government/councils paying landlords when tenants cannot. Universal credit has made this much harder. Capping rents would only harm tenants in the long run. Proper landlords reinvest their money back into the property creating a higher standard of living accommodation. BEST MOMENTS “Don’t tar every landlord with the same brush, don’t make every landlord a rogue landlord, because not every landlord is” “Maybe he’s got a hidden agenda” “They create damp in the properties” “Everything has got to have balance” “The private investors are the ones that can solve this problem” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	25 Apr 2023	Cheap vs Expensive: Should You Buy a Cheap or Expensive House As an Investment?	00:25:21
CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Which is the better investment, a cheap house or one that’s of higher value? Kev answers this question as well as talks through his most recent refurbishment and gives tips for anyone looking to do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kitchens and bathrooms are where you make value. You don’t have to spend a fortune to add value. Don’t change a boiler just because it’s old as long as it’s safe and it works you can just keep it. Finish the cupboards in the same way as everywhere else, it makes a big difference to tenants, at little cost to you. If you look at areas on a scale of 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, Kev advises looking at areas 2, 3 and 4 to get the highest return on a long-term rental. Cheaper areas will you give you more income month to month but you will get more capital long-term from a property in a more expensive area. BEST MOMENTS ‘The kitchens and bathrooms are where you need to spend a bit extra’ ‘What this country needs is more good landlords providing quality accommodation for people’ ‘The upside of a cheaper area is you’ll make more monthly money, the downside is you don’t get as much capital growth’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	28 May 2024	Unleashing Property Success From Doubt to Deals	00:25:30
Kev is joined by John and Sarah Crew who share their journey in property investing the past two years. This episode might just inspire you to get started or give you new ideas on what you can do with your property portfolio in your area. John and Sarah also talk about how important the network and knowledge gained from Progressive has been in their recent success. KEY TAKEAWAYS On his days off as a firefighter, John began helping his builder friend. Sparked by an interest in their Victorian property, John and Sarah then began to renovate and used money they had saved to start their own buy, refurbish, refinance strategy. They first attended a progressive event in 2020 which made them realise they would need to use other people’s money to build their portfolio. All locations have an abundance of property deals, you just have to learn how to find them. Build your profile in your area and network, if people know who you are and what you’re looking for the deals will be easy to find. If you find good deals then finding an investor to back you won’t be difficult. You are providing a valuable service. The purchase price of a property in BRR is one of the least important factors, the main focus is actually on the redevelopment value. John and Sarah are still working full time but this will change within the next two years when John and Sarah plan on both taking property investing on full time. The best time to start investing in property is right now. BEST MOMENTS “We decided to use a bit of money we had to start the BRR strategy” “There are more deals out there than you could ever imagine” “I don’t think necessarily you have to physically be everywhere but you have to put yourself out there and make sure people know what you’re doing and what you’re looking for” “It was quite a scary concept, using other people's money. Now we feel comfortable with that” “We’re working towards something and nothing will get in our way” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Discover how Tricia went from juggling multiple jobs to successfully managing rent-to-rent properties and executing creative deals. Learn how she overcame self-doubt and leveraged unconventional strategies to build her property portfolio, all while maintaining a full-time job and family commitments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tricia transitioned from various careers to property investing after attending a Multiple Streams of Property Income event, demonstrating the impact of education and networking. She utilises creative strategies like rent-to-rent, vendor finance, and assisted sales, proving that property investing doesn't always require significant personal capital. Tricia manages six rent-to-rent properties, generating an average monthly profit of £8,000, showcasing the potential of this strategy. Building confidence and overcoming self-doubt were crucial to Tricia's success, achieved through continuous learning and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals. Direct-to-vendor approaches have been more effective for Tricia than working with estate agents, highlighting the importance of personal communication in property deals. Balancing a full-time job, family commitments, and property investing is challenging but achievable through prioritisation and consistent daily actions towards goals. BEST MOMENTS "I've always had an interest in property, So that's how come I ended up here and I turned up at a multiple streams property income one day. And the rest is history." "I come to the mastermind sessions frequently every month without fail to surround myself with people who are further ahead than me and who know what they're doing." "I've managed to help other people within my family and my friends and my kids, friends, parents and other things sort out Issues that they've had with their properties and that."

	20 Nov 2018	Are Commercial Conversions for Everyone?	00:28:12
Welcome to another property mini-series with your host, Peter Jones. Today, Peter dives into Commercial Property Conversions and why this strategy can give you huge chunks of cash from just one deal. Most people think that commercial conversions are only for seasoned pros and expert investors. This is not the case. Really they can be done by anyone with the right knowledge. There are so many commercial properties out there waiting to be converted. It's a perfect storm with incentives from the government, prior approval from local authorities and a market desperate for more housing. KEY TAKEAWAYS So what is a commercial conversion? - Converting a property for commercial use - Usually turning an office building into a block of apartments - There are plenty of pubs and corner shops readily available to be converted Why Commercial Conversions? Just one deal can change your financial future because there are large numbers involved. Bigger projects mean bigger profits and you can get bigger returns with the same effort of converting a smaller project. Because of the scalability of commercial conversions and the potential to earn big profits from one deal, you don't need to own and manage a big portfolio or properties. Just one or two deals can make you financially free. Most of the time you will be converting properties and selling them on for large chunks of cash. As a result, you won't have to deal with tenants and the associated risks. The great thing about commercial conversion is the scalability, it's like doing a number of refurbs all at once. This means when refurbing you'll start to see economies of scale. for example, purchasing lots of kitchens will be cheaper than just buying one. There are tax breaks to commercial conversions with capital allowances. We can depreciate the cost and the value of plant and machinery etc. when taking on commercial conversions. We can use prior approval under permitted development from the local authority. Progressive Property Co-founder Mark Homer purchased a large scale commercial conversion project. He purchased the old Marks & Spencers building in Peterborough for 4.2 million and is converting them into 98 apartments with a projected worth of 15 million. There are three main ways you can add value to a property. Refurbish it - As part of a commercial conversion will change the use of the property but we will also refurbish it to fit the new use of the property. Extend the property - You may be able to build up the property out the back or around the side to add value and create a bigger property. Change of use - We can add value simply by changing the use of the property. You will need to get planning consent and due to government demands, it's much easier to get approval for a change of use. BEST MOMENTS "Although there's still hassle with commercial conversions, it's a better quality hassle" "It's often much easier to borrow a large amount of money as people who have the large funds want to put their money into bigger projects for bigger profits." "With commercial conversions, it is very likely you will be able to do your deals no money down" "Because Mark was able to buy the whole property and then sell off the ground floor as a commercial unit, he's been able to do the whole deal no money down" “The fall of high street shops has provided a huge opportunity for commercial conversion investors.” “You can JV with investors providing the finance by offering your time to go out there and find the deals.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Join the Progressive Property Community here: http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/ If you're interested in learning more about Commercial Conversions you can contact Progressive Property to find out more about their expert course.

	13 Jul 2020	NMD TV interview with Istvan Vigh	01:03:56
Today Kevin McDonnell is interviewing Istvan, a member of Kevin's course and mastermind programme. He went from accounting and finance with no property experience to a property investor in just a few years. It took him longer than he thought to breakthrough, he was close to quitting at points and didn’t make a single deal for 7 months from his start. But now 2 years on he is ready to take the leap and become a full time property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people want instant results- we are used to getting what we want, NOW. Too many people only spend a few months, then give up if they didn’t get what they thought they would. Istvan talks about how that didn’t happen. Life can steer you away from your goals if you don’t stay on course, and he was determined for that to not happen to him. In the end it took him 7 months to get his first deal- but he kept trying. You're not achieving nothing- getting the keys to the house isn't the only goal. Every time you go out to view, every time you speak to an agent you are learning something. This all adds up in your knowledge bank. The deals will come, and having that knowledge you have built up will be what could take you over the line with securing it. You don’t have to quit your job- build your parachute before you jump. Starting your property journey while still in a job isn’t something that will hold you back, it’s something that will keep you secure until you are ready. Strengthen your business- don’t be a victim of your own success. Success at the start can give you overconfidence, Istvan found.

	03 Apr 2023	5 Ways How to Add Value to a Property	00:14:08
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. *FREE DOWNLOAD* How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities. BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk *FREE DOWNLOAD* How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Carole Neales joins Kev in this episode to talk about the 57 projects she has completed, which has resulted in over 246 units and all in just 6 years! Carole attended progressive property events in 2015 and shares how this helped her build her knowledge and talks in depth about her unique property portfolio in social housing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Carole works with charities and supports many people through her property portfolio as the units she manages are social housing. Working in the hotel business as well as events means that Carole had always worked in customer-facing roles, she likes people and her favourite thing is talking! After seeing vulnerable children and having empathy for those struggling financially, Carole wanted to do something she could help society whilst also making good investments. Most landlords aren’t bad people, they want to help people. Bad tenants come from all walks of life. Carole doesn’t believe she has had any more issues with damage and rent arrears with her social tenants than private landlords would get. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everything we do whether it’s needed or not we make sure is HMO compliant as there’s always going to be more than 2 people in the property’ ‘Some of us are quick to judge people that have fallen on hard time’ ‘Landlords are really great’ ‘Because I work with them so closely, I get preferential rate’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Carole Neales Director Clearwater Property Partners carole@clearwaterpropertypartners.com ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	25 Feb 2020	Lessons I Learned From Mark Homer! Every Pound is a Prisoner	00:19:26
In Part 2 of Progressive Properties One-off Bonus series with Rob Moore, discover more lessons learned from 14-years of business with Mark Homer. Learn the insider secrets to property investment, why it’s important to look after your costs and manage your capital, why evolution is more beneficial than evolution and why focusing on your market will bring you compounding and consistent wealth. Tune in for more never-heard-before property and business lessons from expert and entrepreneur, Mark Homer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lessons Learned From Mark Homer 6. Don’t buy overseas, don’t buy off-plan and don’t buy new builds. Always buys local, older and existing properties. Mark tested overseas properties himself and knows they do not work as well and you cannot take the numbers on a spreadsheet with projected figures as fact. You need to test, measure and get proof of property strategies before scaling up to another bigger strategy. 7. Every pound is a prisoner - You make more by saving a pound than you do by making a pound because when you make a pound you’ve paid the tax, charges and a host of costs to obtain that pound and the net value of a made pound is a lot less than a pound saved. You must preserve capital at all costs and only purchase assets that appreciate in value and generate and income which in turn you can spend on your business, but never spend the capital. 8. Things cost more, take longer and are harder when you’re in the inexperienced phase of business. So it’s important to understand the maximum exposure and maximum risk in any deal and planning accordingly with best, worse and likely case analysis. 9. Trust but verify first both in deals and in relationships and partnerships. Do random spot checks to better understand the trust in your joint-ventures and the accountability of your relationship. The key is to check and then check again. 10. Saving tax and managing your expenses well is often more important than driving turnover. Aim to be careful with the amount of money you spend vs earned because a point saved is much more beneficial than a pound earned. 11. You can make money in all property markets no matter the economic situation. There are creative strategies for a rising market (adding value) to a falling market (securing BMV deals) and in a stagnant market by changing the use of a property (residential to commercial). 12. Never do refurbs too big or too soon. Aim to focus on the evolution of your property and where you can add value rather than the revolution. 13. Often the business that you’re in is often the best route to success than changing careers or moving industries. Focus on what you’re already doing better and improve it rather than just doing something new. This will you a compounding positive effect on the industry you’re operating in. Consistency will bring you wealth in the end. BEST MOMENTS “Find other people who have been there and done it and learn from them” “If you want to learn how to do something well, find something who’s done it and learn from them, learn from their mistakes and don’t be a trailblazer” “Spend the income not the capital” “Mark is very persistent and he doesn’t take no for an answer” “Mark looks to build a deeply layered pyramid of wealth” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is the host of the UK’s no. 1 business podcast “The Disruptive Entrepreneur,” and “The Money Podcast” as well as an entrepreneur, property investor, property educator, and holder of 3 world records for public speaking.

	30 Apr 2024	From People Management to Property Management: Do Tenants Behave Better Than Colleagues?	00:19:28
In this episode, Jackie Gammage joins Kev to share her knowledge and insight into property management. Jackie talks about her journey into property including the mistakes she has made. She also offers invaluable advice on mindset and skillset and talks about why everyone can benefit from the value of their own transferable skills. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jackie found it difficult to get started in property. She now recognises this was because of her own mindset. She was risk-averse and fuelled with fear which prevented her from taking action. It’s easy to get stuck in life, to stay comfortable. But not taking action prevents us from moving forward and achieving what we want. You will already have some of the skills needed to become a property investor, you just need to work out what they are and then build upon the areas where you need to learn. To achieve what you want you need to focus on it daily, create the steps and plan needed to make it happen. Surround yourself with people who have similar aspirations. Read and learn as much as possible to improve your mindset and self-awareness. BEST MOMENTS "I found that the more senior I got the less fulfilled I was becoming” “The fear of going into something new stopped me from taking action” “We’ve all got transferable skills and we don’t realise it” “Who is the person I have to become to get what I want?” “You become your environment” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/jackie.gammage.9 MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	16 Aug 2022	How to Make 200+ Property Deals in 3 Years!	00:35:57
FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Paul and Ben are a deal-packaging property duo who decided to joint venture together after re-meeting in the Progressive Property network. They join Kevin in this episode to talk about the 200+ property deals they have achieved over the past 3 years. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul and Ben had virtually no experience in property, before attending courses with Progressive Property and gaining an incredible network. Liverpool and Manchester is where Paul and Ben’s property portfolio is based. The duos experience in business meant they looked at the deal packaging process as a ‘conveyor belt’ so they had services to offer each step of the way, from start to finish. Systems are a worthy investment; it allows your property business to scale quicker. You can’t do 96 deals a year on just pen and paper. The education and support network Paul and Ben have gained from Progressive Property has had an immeasurable positive impact on their property journey. Businesses are evolving all the time, once you solve one problem you will find another one. But if you build a good support network around you and embrace the challenge you will thrive. BEST MOMENTS “223 deals in 3 years!” “You can do property investing no matter how long you have been doing another career, no matter where your starting point is you can get started and begin a property business” “It all came down to systems and people” “Time is the most important element, and you can’t replace that” “Build your parachute before you jump out of the plane” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	27 Apr 2020	Government Schemes & Benefits During The Pandemic	00:55:18
DESCRIPTION Mark is joined by finance expert Shaz Nawaz where they discuss the benefits of the government's latest scheme to help people during the pandemic. They cover topics from Furlough to repayment holidays, the rights of the employer and the employee and discuss how local governments are dealing with COVID-19. Now is a perfect time to sort out your finances and save money. Tune in to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Previously an employee has to have been off work for 4 days to claim statutory sick pay, however, what the government has decided to do is reimburse the employer for the first two weeks of sickness. The employee can continue to claim themselves for up to 28 weeks. The government furlough scheme is allowing companies to claim their employee’s salaries from the government, they will pay up to 80% of a salary with a limit of 2500 pounds back, as well as claiming National insurance and the 3% pension schemes. If you have monies owed on a credit card during this period, there are repayment holidays for up to three months available as well as on general loan repayments. Overdraft and overdraft interest fees waived up to 500 pounds, many banks are automatically waiving these fees. If you don’t have an overdraft you can apply for one up to 500 pounds. Local governments are advising that the impact of COVID-19 will last approximately 12 months. However this does not mean there will be a lockdown until then, this should be lifted in May or June starting off by opening schools and small businesses and gradually increasing events whilst implementing social distancing measures, all the while monitoring public health. Investing in bonds is a secure place for your money. Bonds are loans issued by governments. The UK government issues something called guilts which are bonds that you make to the UK government which attract a very low rate of interest, sometimes negative. In terms of security and getting your money back, they are about as good as it gets because the UK government is an issuer of its own currency, meaning it in theory cant go bust. BEST MOMENTS “It is really important for people to be focused on their finances like they are looking after their personal health” “In terms of getting back to normal, we won't be getting back to normal like we were in March, until next March” “This is going to continue beyond the lockdown period” ABOUT THE HOST Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor. He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth! He is a spreadsheet analyst with an impressive following from major publications including BBC Radio, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, and co-authoring the UK’s best-selling property books. Mark has always looked for the best investment vehicle, and at the end of 2007 with Rob Moore the co-founder of Progressive Property his joint portfolio produced more profit than any of the other investments he’d tried in the last ten years, combined.

	02 Mar 2021	The 10 Worst Tenants I've Ever Had	00:15:31
McDonnell Mondays are back! After a brief hiatus you host Kevin is back with his much loved series McDonnell Mondays where he gives you the chance to ask him all things property. In today's episode Kevin discusses why not to listen to those advising to steer clear of London investments, why the ‘tenant buyer’ strategy is the most hands free of them all and how to sort the good builders from the bad. KEY TAKEAWAYS Over the last few months, people have started the question if it is wise to invest in London, given the way of the world. That is because the masses are questioning London. Observe the masses, and do the opposite. Interest rates are going to drop to negative, so there has probably never been a better time in history to raise money to help invest in properties. Many people would consider single lets the most ‘hands free’ strategy. However with single lets you often have the management, the maintenance, the voids and the inspections. With a tenant buyer, it is completely hands free strategy. You don’t need a letting agent or a maintenance team and you can do it remotely as it is completely outsourced to the tenant buyer. If you're setting up a limited company, you should be putting a personal loan into that company. When running a limited company you need to ensure you get a property tax accountant . Everything from mobile phones to office supplies can be put through the company as company property rather than putting it through your own name. If you ring a builder up and he says he can come tomorrow, they’re likely a bad builder. The good builders are always busy. The moment you get a property agreed, you need to find a builder. You will get the keys anywhere between 4-8 weeks after the agreement, leaving it until then to find a good builder will cost you. You need two years of company accounts in order to qualify for mortgages in your company name. You can start by doing rent to rent and lease options in order to build up your accounts. Many people want to quit their jobs to become property investors. The reality is, you do not need to quit your job.Managing your time is a better step than quitting your job. You have got plenty of time to do property in your spare time, if you are smarter with your free time. Aim to quit your job later but first you should build up cash flow and passive income. If you are just starting out and do not have the funds or knowledge to invest in property yet, it is a good idea to go and work for an investor and offer to work for free. Find the big player in your area and ask how you can help them. They will give you some work to do and you will learn from their expertise. BEST MOMENTS “Raising money has never been easier” “You don’t find it difficult to raise money, you find it difficult to try, you find it difficult to ask.” “Quitting your job is not the route to success.” “If you give, you will receive.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

	05 Jul 2021	How to Build a Property Portfolio From Zero	00:50:08
In this episode, Kevin interviews Andrew Harvey. Andrew is the founder of Growth Properties Group, a small group of companies that help people live on their terms through property: with education, portfolio building, and property management. This is a motivating and informative episode which delves deep into Andrew’s property journey, his successes and his ‘failures’ too. KEY TAKEAWAYS Andrew’s property journey started in 2009. He was yet to do any property education and hadn’t invested before. He bought a piece of land and then went onto to invest in more houses. In the end he actually lost money on his first investment but it didn’t matter so much as it is what ‘gave him the bug’ and his later investments held him up! Andrew attended the multiple streams of income event which accelerated his journey in the property world. In his words it ‘blew his mind’, was revolutionary and rewired his brain, from that point he couldn’t get enoufh of learning and also began reading over 100 books a year! There is so much free content and information out there now for anyone starting in property. It’s important to remember this wasn’t the case 10, 15 or even 5 years ago. Following advice and techniques leant from courses Andrew found a joint venture partner and completed a no money down HMO deal – he made money but it also made him realise that HMO’s was too much ongoing work for him. At the same time he realised one of his buy-to-lets was in a less than desirable area. So he then decided to invest in an area that his friend knew very well so he would not make this mistake again. Your network is your net-worth. It takes time and effort to build strong relationships with many people that will help you on your journey. It’s these relationships that can often make or break a deal. Diversifying your property portfolio does not mean scatter gunning. You need to know the area you invest in. Diversifying means to mix it up WITHIN your property investments, by using different strategies, for example your tenant type, such as having students, professionals and universal credit tenants. There is a property strategy for everyone. We all want different things from life. Some people have the time an energy to put in a lot of work in for several years whereas someone else may just want a small passive income – you have to figure out what is right and manageable for you. BEST MOMENTS “I was obsessed with learning” “That network is 90% me now...I built a network off the back of social media” “What they really mean is that you pick and area and then you become the subject matter expert of that area” “There’s different things that people want from life” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Andrew Harvey Andrew built his property portfolio and businesses in the Northeast of England, whilst living in the south, allowing him to spend time with his family and travel regularly. Having built up the systems and team to run from his phone and largely on autopilot, he's now focused on helping others excel on their property journeys and build a remote investment lifestyle for themselves through group and 1:1 coaching programs. His signature program, which runs 4 times per year, is the 6 Stage Remote Buy Refurb Refinance (RBRR) Blueprint. 👓\| Find Andrew on Facebook 👓\| Find Andrew on Instagram 👓\| Find Andrew on YouTube   👓\| Find Andrew on TikTok ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS As a professional player in the world of sports, you have to be strong-minded be focused on your end goal. There will be a bad game and you won't be able to shoo away negative comments and reviews. You don't have to worry about everything they say. Focus on improving gameplay. "Stick in property." At a young age, this is Simon’s dad advice that he can’t seem to brush off. He always thought he'll play till 35. According to Simon, there are many sportsmen and women who don't know what they'll do after their career or haven't planned on anything to secure financial stability. It took him time get around the news of his retirement. It was all he was doing at that point from the age of six. He still has his hopes to be the top player at that time. "Outside football, the only thing that excites me is property." Simon doesn't like chasing stuff that he doesn't like. He educated himself about property investment. And, through this, he also saw the chance to help other players to go forward through property investment. His business provides services like sorting properties, guide them through mortgages, etc. to professional sports people. Simon sees every moment working on his business as part of his learning process. He saw opportunities and learned about networking when he exited the world of professional football. Simon felt he was in a bubble. He was just exposed to what you're allowed to. He's enjoying exploring every avenue he sees. BEST MOMENTS "Talent can only get you so far. I say, between the ages of 14 and 16, there's a lot of time that you need to realize where you wanna go... I think when you get into the professional side and you're in the professional club, you have to be one-minded - this is what I wanna do." – Simon "You can have the ability and the talent, but if your mind is not there on the day, then you could have a bad game." – Den “It resonates with sports players, we have to do what exactly what we're told." – Simon "Once your mind slips a little bit, your performance slips. Then, you can easily slip down the slippery slope." – Simon VALUABLE RESOURCES Church Investments ABOUT THE GUEST HOST Den Hedges is a Personal Development Manager, Trainer, Speaker and Author.

	13 Aug 2018	How to Finance Refurbs With Alasdair Devine	00:42:00
Welcome to another episode of The Progressive Property Podcast! In today’s episode, your host Peter interviews specialist mortgage broker and longtime partner and friend, Alasdair Devine, about the best ways of financing refurb projects for buy-to-let property investing. In most cases, a buy-to-let mortgage is the best way to go, but if habitability is in question and you’re on a tight timeline, a bridge-to-let may be the more effective option to getting your property and getting it refurbished. Key Takeaways: Peter talks with Alasdair about refurbs, and that, while they vary in size and scope, generally in buy-to-let property investing, a refurb usually means fixing up or replacing the kitchen, bathroom, and carpets, as well as the decorating and other miscellaneous aspects. But it can be tricky financing property refurbs sometimes because while a buy-to-let mortgage lender will consider the property, it will only usually be on the condition that the property is habitable on the date of completion of the purchase, which can be an issue if it requires refurb. Peter points out that there doesn’t really seem to be any hard and fast rules as to what constitutes “habitability” and that every bank has its own criteria. Alasdair says that in his experience, though, it’s usually very simple, big picture factors like if there is a functioning kitchen or bathroom, if the property is watertight, and if it has all the basic services. Peter, however, says it still seems like a bit of a lottery, recalling someone he knew who bought a horrible property with damp, rot, and other issues that would make a property virtually uninhabitable. But, against all logic, this person was able to secure a buy-to-let loan for it anyway. On the other hand, Peter was denied a loan on the grounds of the kitchen being uninhabitable even though it was still functional, just old. Alasdair does admit that you can get wildly different views from surveyors on the same single property, to which Peter adds that it means that if you get turned down by one lender, you might as well try another because they may have different criteria for habitability. There’s a lot of debate as to whether you should refinance with your existing lender or go find a new one. It’s a double-edged sword because the surveyor who was there before is likely to be pessimistic about the uplift in quality. A new lender with fresh eyes might give you a better value. But then there’s the issue with early repayment charges and if they are high, then it's often not worth trying to find a different lender. Peter and Alasdair list off other options for financing, including using the portability of an existing buy-to-let mortgage to move it from one property to another, as well as paying for the property with cash, doing the refurb, and then refinancing the mortgage six months later. Using equity is also a perfectly valid option for funding deposits or purchases. But in the case of properties that are clearly not going to be deemed inhabitable or are bought at well below the market value, a bridge-to-let can be an effective solution. A bridge, which is a short-term loan, is easier to get than a buy-to-let and much faster. It is, however, also more expensive because it is viewed as a riskier loan. Both Peter and Alasdair agree that buy-to-let rates will always be the most competitive, but depending on your needs and the property and the time, a bridge-to-let is worth considering. Alasdair provides a specific example of a client of his successfully using a bridge-to-let loan after buying a property through an online auction. After the deposit, he only had 28 days to complete, and while he initially wanted to do a buy-to-let, habitability was going to be an issue. So instead he used a bridge-to-let, got surveyors to the property within a week, got approved, and took care of the entire transaction within the 28 days, which a buy-to-let would not be able to fulfill. Best Moments: “The reality of property is that probably the best way of doing property is to buy properties where you can add value.” “You put 10 surveyors in a room, you’re likely to get 11 different opinions.” “I do know some banks that are keen to avoid what they would regard as buy-to-let speculative trading.” “From a cost point of view, buy-to-let rates are extremely competitive now and will always be cheaper than traditional bridging. But, worth talking to a good broker, and looking at the figures and just seeing what’s right for you at the time.” Guest Contact Method: Email thepropertyteacher@gmail.com to request information on getting in touch with Alaisdar About the Host: Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author, and a serial buy-to-let property investor.

	03 Sep 2018	Don't Believe The Headlines	00:28:03
A protip one should remember when online: Be careful of click baits and fake news stories! In today’s episode the Progressive Property Podcast, Peter dissects and points out how misleading the latest article from a well-known tabloid is for its readers. It was tackling on the ‘fall’ – well, that’s what this tabloid sees – of the property market. For one, their interpretation wasn’t backed with enough evidence for it to be credible. So, listen in to discover from Peter himself how stable the property market is right now according to RICS, the concept of ripple theory, what indices should you look at, and how to stay away from non-credible sources! KEY TAKEAWAYS How true is the Daily Mail’s latest article on the ‘fall’ of the property market? The article is entitled “As property sales fall across the UK, are house prices set to take a tumble?” which was published last August 16, 2018. It says property market run out of steam. It will lead to a crash. Houses are losing value. Property Market is in a bubble and it will burst soon. The whole article is questionable because there weren’t enough sources to support it. Ripple Theory. London value goes up. Values near London increase also. TRUTH/FACTS from RICS UK Residential Market Survey for July 2018 the number in the new letting sector is going down the number of landlords bringing properties have decreased quite significantly since Section 24 implementation +2% increase in rents in over 12 months AND +15% increase is expected in 2023 Daily Mail forgot to mention that London Price balanced edged from +3% to 4% last July - not big but not an indication of a crash. It’s saying the market is STABLE. Despite the fact that buyers are scared because if interest rates, the number of buyers increased by 2. very little because the number of properties available hasn’t increased. Don’t just read the headline and think it must be through. Find credible sources. Get a hold of RICS monthly residential market survey. BEST MOMENTS "There's been a curious game of cat and mouse with buyers and sellers." "What I think is happening here is as often happens, as I said right in the beginning, the Daily Mail – they gotta sell papers, they’re trying to be dramatic…” "The RICS is confirming that that [Stamp Duty Land Tax] and Section 24 are beginning to bite in the investment market and in the buy-to-let market overall." "If you're thinking: is it the time to be in property? Maybe that's suggesting that now is the time to be in property." "Do your own interpretation. Don't let the Daily Mail or the press or anybody else interpret the data for you."
