10 Things That Annoy me as a Property Investor, Peter RANTS!

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

Sean and Kevin tackle the burning question: is now a bad time to invest or a golden opportunity? Kevin shares contrarian wisdom about market timing, revealing why professionals continue making deals while amateurs wait for the perfect moment that never exists. With over 120 properties in his portfolio, Kevin gives advice on navigating uncertain markets, spotting opportunities when others panic and why housing will always remain a fundamental need—even in an AI-dominated future. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don't try to time the market. Focus on finding good deals that work now rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment to buy.
Down markets create the best buying opportunities because motivated sellers fear prices dropping further, allowing you to negotiate better discounts.
Property remains a fundamental human need regardless of economic conditions or technology changes, people will always need somewhere to live.
Choose a strategy you'll actually implement in your local area. Deal packaging, rent-to-rent, service accommodation, or HMOs can all work when done right.
Government housing promises rarely materialise as planned because they benefit from higher property values that generate more tax revenue.
Economic downturns increase demand for affordable housing like HMOs as people look to save money by sharing accommodations with bills included.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"The amateurs wait till the market's gone up. They wait till the media tell them the market's gone up so they know which house to buy. Most people take their advice from their mate down the pub, their mate at work, their parents, or the media, and none of them have ever bought a house." 

"I have never seen anybody lose money when they held onto the house. Why? Because you ride it out and it goes back up. If you buy right, you'll always make money. And then when the market drops, you just ride it out and you survive." 

"Everyone is gonna need a home to live in. Property is the one thing that everybody needs. Food and housing, but food can be made artificial. Housing will always be housing because people will always need shelter."

"You can either make excuses or make money, but you're not making both. Two types of people listening to this podcast, those that let the world happen to them and those that create their own world. Which one are you?"

Is Now a Bad Time to Invest or a Golden Opportunity?

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."
