Depression in Building Your Property Business featuring Rob Moore

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."

Mindset & Conformity - Change Your Life Forever

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean interviews Willie Peterson, who learnt how to get out of his own way by training with Progressive. Willie shares how his life changed after meeting Kevin McDonald at a Progressive event, which completely shifted his mindset about property investing. From executing an award winning no-money-down deal in South Africa to raising hundreds of thousands in investment capital, Willie shows how anyone can overcome limiting beliefs and create win-win property deals—even without starting capital.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Willie's journey from corporate IT professional to award winning property investor demonstrates how shifting your mindset can open doors you never thought possible.
By using creative structuring behind his no money down deal in South Africa, Willie acquired a restaurant with commercial properties by understanding the seller's core needs and creating vendor financing solutions.
Willie turned a chance encounter at a rural restaurant into a multi-property deal that benefited everyone involved. He gave the seller more than their asking price while requiring zero capital from Willie himself.
He raised £600,000-£800,000 from investors in just weeks by focusing on authentic relationships rather than simply chasing money, emphasising the importance of alignment in values and vision.
Property success isn't about luck but rather recognising opportunities and taking decisive action, what Kevin McDonald calls "labour under correct knowledge" (LUCK).

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

"You don't realise how bad your old mindset prevented you from achieving greater things in life. I realised I was in my own way and that's one of the major things that I learned at Progressive is to get out of your way and think differently." 

 

"If you told me 12 months ago that I would go down to South Africa, sort out a personal problem, then go and have breakfast at a place in the middle of nowhere and three months later bought the restaurant with two commercial properties and do a lease option of a property behind that and paid absolutely zero money for it... I would've thought you bonkers." 

 

"The main message we also give to potential investors is that the fact that you've got money doesn't mean we're gonna work with you. 'Cause we need to align on a few things, principles, and work ethics." 

"If you want something different, you have to change something, right? Because if you don't change something, you're only going to get the same thing as you always got."
