How to Make Offers and Negotiate

Sean and Kevin dissect the controversial new Renters Rights Bill. Kevin cuts through the fear and media hysteria, explaining why these changes won't be the disaster many landlords fear. With over 20 years of experience and 120+ properties in his portfolio, Kevin is honest about government incompetence, the disappearing middle class and why corporate landlords spell disaster for tenants.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Section 21 abolition is not a disaster for landlords as most use it for legitimate evictions anyway
Beware of corporate landlords taking over, they care about profits, not people
Rent caps create trapped tenants and artificially inflated new rental prices
Future proof properties by renovating properly from day one. Avoid being "penny wise, pound foolish"!
Good landlords rent homes to people, not houses to tenants
Property remains the most accessible way to build wealth for average people despite regulatory changes

BEST MOMENTS

"I have never, in my 20 years in property, 20 plus years now, never, ever, ever evicted a tenant for no fault. I don't rent houses to tenants, I rent homes to people and I have never evicted a person from their home that was paying the rent on time at market rent and looking after the house." 

"The middle class is disappearing in front of our eyes. Look down your high streets. All the middle class shops are shutting down. House of Fraser, Mac, the makeup shop, Ted Baker, they're all disappearing. What's booming? Big expensive shops that the wealthy use and the pound shops." 

"Once the big corporations take over, it's the road to ruin. Because the little landlord cares about their tenant, they get to know their tenant. They get to know, like and trust that person... Once the big corporations take over, it'll just be like British Gas." 

"You've never seen a millionaire saver, never mind a multi millionaire saver. The only way to become wealthy is through business and property and most business owners, even though they make money in business, they put it into property because it's a safe asset."

Is the Renters Rights Bill a Disaster? 

Rob and Sean interview the top three winners of the Make Cash Challenge. Find out how third place Nick overcame his fear of asking family for money and secured a property deal with £40K equity, how second-place Fezan raised £42K and put offers on seven properties and how first place Phil generated a staggering £160K in just seven days! These inspiring success stories show what's possible when you combine accountability, support and the right motivation to take action.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Overcoming the money talk barrier can yield surprising results, Nick's biggest challenge was having a difficult conversation with his sister about borrowing money but after facing his fear, she immediately agreed to lend him £10,000 for his property project.
Diversifying income streams creates financial resilience and Nick not only secured property deals but also set up an eBay shop, planned an Etsy store, purchased silver as an investment, and is launching a podcast about efficiency and property investing.
Corporate experience can be leveraged into entrepreneurship. Fezan, a Senior VP at a global investment bank, is transitioning his 16-17 years of corporate financial experience into coaching and mentoring others while building his property portfolio.
Action beats perfection when launching a business, Fezan learned that while taking action is crucial, proper market research (especially regarding competitor pricing) is equally important when designing products and sales funnels.
Structured challenges provide the accountability needed to overcome procrastination. All three winners emphasised that the daily accountability, reporting requirements, and motivation from seeing others succeed pushed them to take actions they had been postponing.
Simple mortgage optimisation can generate significant savings, Phil generated £45,000 by simply refinancing his mortgage, demonstrating that reviewing and optimising existing financial arrangements can yield substantial returns with minimal effort.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"The most challenging thing was having a conversation with a family member to raise some capital. We're taught at an early age, don't talk about money, save money, save money and then actually get around to have that conversation, get pleasantly surprised by the outcome." 

"I'm sort of a lazy guy in some respects that I need a bit of a boost of motivation to actually go in and take action, because I'm kind of comfortable at least gotten comfortable at a certain time. So I need the kick on the backside just to kind of go upon and actually do it." 

"What I've learned from that is that, yes, action taking is important, but doing the research work as well, people who are serving within the same niche and pricing your products correctly is also important at the same time."

How the Make Cash Challenge Winners Generated £260K+ in One Week | Progressive Property's Race to 10K Winners

Sean interviews Matt Hawes, a carpenter turned developer who shares his property journey. After years of running his company, Matt reveals how attending Progressive Property training transformed his approach to property development. Most impressively, Matt discloses how he raised £500,000 with just one phone call to an investor who was in his network all along! Discover how Matt leveraged his construction skills, investor finance, and Progressive Property knowledge to convert a bungalow into a five-bedroom house for profit and learn about his exciting plans for future developments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Matt's background as a carpenter and construction project manager gave him practical skills but it wasn't until he received proper training from Progressive Property that he learned how to leverage these skills effectively for property development.
After attending Progressive Property's "No Money Down" course with Kevin McDonald, Matt discovered assisted sales strategies that allowed him to develop properties without paying stamp duty or needing substantial upfront capital.
Matt raised £500,000 from an investor with just one phone call by offering a 10% return (compared to bank rates of 4-5%), demonstrating how accessible investor finance can be when you know how to present the opportunity.
Before Progressive Property training, Matt made mistakes buying off plan properties through Inside Track, which taught him valuable lessons about the importance of buying properties close to home where he could utilise his building skills.
Matt successfully structured a deal where he used investor finance to purchase a bungalow and his own building company's resources to convert it into a five bedroom house, creating two profit streams: one for his building company and an additional £80,000 development profit.
The key to Matt's success was taking decisive action. He describes how he made several calls early one morning and secured £500,000 in financing before 7:30 AM, emphasising that people need to "get out of your own way" and just ask for what they need.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"I just made a list of all the people I knew that had money and I rang them... I managed to raise half a million pounds on one of the first phone calls I made."

"Get out of your own way, ask the question, and you can do it.”

"I really would like to start getting back into doing our own thing... I really liked it when I came to Progressive, just felt a lot more like a family... more like a cohesive network." 

"So the flip and pulling all your money out... I bought this bungalow and then turned it into a five bedroom house.”
