Dan Eaton hosts the podcast in this short episode where he talks about how you can get started in commercial conversions this year. If you have wanted to get into property development, particularly around converting unused and unwanted buildings then this is for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
From old banks to closed-down offices, there is a huge opportunity to convert into much needed residential accommodation.
There is a whole host of building types that have permitted development rights and these are what you want to focus on.
Permitted development is easy, it’s as simple as putting in the application form and waiting for the council to accept.
Leveraging the expertise of others is essential in the strategy including builders and investors.
Conversions may not cost as much as you expect.
Commercial conversions rely on finance and investors you cannot save your way to pay for a conversion.

BEST MOMENTS  

"What type of buildings do we need to convert?”

“We can take those buildings and convert them into residential use without the need for planning permission”

“I don’t know how to build things but I do know how to ask people who do”

“We use other peoples money to do these types of conversions”

Kev is joined by social media expert and property investor Scott Wroe in this episode. They talk about strategies anyone can follow to flip houses as well as the unique ways you can leverage social media in your property investing business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Scott’s parents were flipping houses throughout his childhood. He is only 27 but has lived in 30 houses!
Scott focuses on the cheapest house on an average street.
If you are starting out, don’t buy houses that need any major work, instead focus on things that need updating cosmetically.
Look for a mentor to guide you and prevent you from making expensive mistakes.
After just two deals, Scott made a 70k profit.
As Scott grew, he started using contractors and even established deals with kitchen suppliers via social media.
You would be surprised how easily brands want to gift items and products to 'house' accounts, you only need a 30k following to get noticed.

BEST MOMENTS  

"It’s knowing the difference between expensive things and things that are going to cheap [to rectify]”

“I think they could be much more successful by attending one of your courses”

“I made 40k on the first one, I was 20”

“It was so much easier having other people doing the work because then I could be doing other things” 

“People will literally gift you anything”

How to Flip a House A Beginners Guide with Scott Wroe

Rachel is a property investor in Peterborough, the same location as Progressive Property founders Rob and Mark. In this episode, she proves that there are still great deals to be found and money to be made in locations that have large investors in the area.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Previously a management consultant who moved into commercial cleaning once she had a family.
Rachel was inspired by Rob Moore’s book, Multiple Streams of Property Income to attend the MSOPI event and create her own property portfolio.
Being someone who finds an opportunity in a problem is the reason Rachel was able to pivot during the pandemic.
Don’t decide on one strategy to use instead look for properties and then adapt and use the strategy that suits that particular property.
A lot of the best deals can take time and patience.
Rachel frequently works with investors that don’t have the time to find deals or put the work in required for big returns and so she does this for them with their money.

BEST MOMENTS  

“There’s enough for everybody”

“The properties ran themselves”

“Find properties and then decide which strategy suits the property”

“They’ve got to trust you and want to work with you and understand your ethics”

“I work with investors who don’t have time”

Mopping Up The Riches How One Leaflet Inspired A Business Empire

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’
