Progressive Property Podcast

Your Credit: How to Manage, & Master your Credit Score: Interview with ex-Experian Head of B2B Communications

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

Sean is joined by Shimon Ruach, a property solicitor who uses creative property investing in the UK! From cycling through Manchester snow with no bus money to becoming the pioneer behind lease options and countless other strategies, Shimon shares his knowledge and experience of building wealth through problem properties that 99% of investors avoid. Discover why he deliberately targets properties with Japanese knotweed, subsidence, and structural issues and how this counterintuitive approach has made him a fortune. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Target problem properties for maximum profit. Properties with issues like Japanese knotweed, subsidence, or missing kitchens offer huge discounts because 99% of investors and lenders won't touch them, yet fixing costs are typically manageable with the right knowledge.
Learn multiple strategies to maximise opportunities,  focusing on just one property strategy (like service accommodation or HMOs) means missing out on profitable deals daily; successful investors adapt their approach to fit each property's unique situation.
Solve vendor problems, don't just buy properties, homeowners sell because they have problems or needs, not to make profit so understanding their real motivation through rapport-building allows you to structure creative deals that benefit everyone.
Invest in education over everything else. The cost of proper property education should be measured against potential returns, not the price tag; spending £100 to learn nothing is more expensive than £10,000 that enables profitable deals.
Stop making excuses about time and money, people who claim they have no time for property somehow find time for TV; those who say they can't afford education are really saying they can't afford to make money.
Challenge banks and know your rights. Banks often refuse reasonable requests like interest-only payments or allowing tenants, but they have a legal duty under FSA guidelines to explore all options before repossession, creating opportunities for informed investors.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"If someone gives you 1 million pounds to play with, you don't have to be creative. As long as you don't waste it, you still make money. But 99% of investors like me started with property on the side." 

"I don't have the time for property, but you do have time for TV? Doesn't quite add up, does it?" 

"I'll make an offer you can't refuse. Don't worry, there's no head of a horse involved." 

"Either you're a sheep like everybody else and you will stay a sheep like everybody else, or you try to do something and tomorrow you're no longer a sheep."

Why 99% of Investors Are Wrong About Problem Properties

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

Sean speaks to Tabitha about what lead her to investing in property and how this has impacted all areas of her life. Tabitha shares her early experiences in property buying, why she started training with Progressive Property and why she believes property investing has the ability to enhance anyone’s life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Tabitha bought her first property, but straight away she had lodgers to pay her mortgage and bills. This gave her flexibility in finances but also meant she could travel away for her acting career.
As her property portfolio grew, Tabitha found herself spending more and more time working in this side of her life with no one to talk about it with. This is one of the reasons she sought out the Progressive Property community.
Attending Progressive events and training helped Tabitha realise the potential within her property investing and has also helped her with her own personal development.
The collaboration and mentorship that come with attending Progressive property events are two of the ways Progressive Training has enhanced and accelerated Tabitha's property investing. Just being in a room with like minded people can give you incredible inspiration and support.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"I began to realise the value in property and how it could really enhance our lives”

 

“This last year has been a phenomenal learning experience for me”

 

“My confidence has come back and I was beginning to feel a little bit invisible”
