Darren and Kev talk about a frequently forgotten topic in property, CDM regulations. Darren shares his experience in property and CDM regulations and talks about why he is so passionate about teaching others the importance of understanding how to protect themselves. Kev and Darren also outline the scenarios where CDM regulations matter and how to protect yourself as a property investor. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
CDM regulations stand for construction, design and management regulations. This is essentially about running construction projects in the right way.
CDM regs apply to you in any non-domestic construction.
As the client, as the investor, understanding or having someone who understands the CDM regulations is essential to protect yourself.
On a large project, it can be worth paying for one contractor to deal with all sub-contractors, to save you time and derisk the project.
When choosing a contractor ask for recommendations and ask them if they will work to CDM regs.

BEST MOMENTS  

"CDM regs are in place regardless of what project you’re in, so anything to do with construction”

“People get scared by it (CDM Regulations) because they think it’s a big thing”

“Always ask contractors if they’ll work to CDM regs”

CDM Regulations: What You Need to Know with Darren Burrows

Kev is joined by fellow property investor and podcast host of the Tutor Podcast, Neil Cowmeadow. Neil first started investing in property 8 years ago and shares with Kev the upsides, downsides and the many lessons he has learnt along the way. Neil also talks about why he trained with Progressive Property and how he became financially free.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Most financial advisors aren’t financially free themselves. They are still just working a job.
Neil did a couple of property flips before finding Progressive Property and got his knowledge through reading property books. He started attending some of the free Progressive courses and then began doing some of the paid ones.
Training with Progressive Property allowed Neil to implement a strategy he knew would work for him and that was tried and tested. 
Neil now has 21 rental properties and has used 400k of other people’s money to not only give them value for money, but also allow him to grow and scale as a property investor.
No matter where you live, there will be a property strategy that will work in your location.
There are great books out there on property investing but nothing compares to learning from experts directly and networking in a room alongside people on the same journey as you.

BEST MOMENTS  

"Sunk some money in, thinking the cost of a course would be less than the cost of implementing a failed strategy” 

“I wouldn’t have had the skillset, the belief, that possibility of scale (without Progressive Property training)”

“I’m doing just single lets at the moment as they take less of my time”

“It’s all based on how much you know and you can read…but the very best thing I’ve found is to get in a room with people who are also travelling in the same direction”

"If I can do it anybody can" 

"Believe in yourself, no one is coming to the rescue"

How I Became Financially Free with Neil Cowmeadow

Sean Fitzpatrick joins Kev to talk about what he has been doing on his property investment journey. He shares why one deal was enough for him to quit his job, and the value of the Progressive community and talks about why investing in your own local area is excellent advice!

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Sean was told all his life to study hard and get to university, but it was whilst he was there, that he realised that his degree left him very few real options to make a living.
He moved to England and sang in church choirs as this provided him accommodation. After a few years, he then became a school teacher but it became exhausting and he knew he needed to do something differently.
After listening to the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, something in his brain flipped and he started to think of ways he could turn his current property into an asset.
Robert Kiyosaki said he completed a no money down course, and it changed his life so Sean looked into doing a no money down course too, and this is how he found Progressive Property.
Sean began to implement some of the things Kevin had told him to do on the course and they worked.
In one deal, Sean managed to make enough to earn more than his monthly salary as a teacher and it was then he considered quitting his full-time job.
Since his first deal Sean has worked on flipping properties and well as standard buy-to-lets.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I started getting that niggling feeling inside that something wasn’t right, I needed to do something different, I realised unless I did something fairly drastic I would be stuck in the system of constantly working for very little pay”

“Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he did a no money down course and that’s the thing that changed his life”

“It turns out that Kevin McDonnell was right!”

“Follow the successful and the success follows”

“That one deal gave me the flexibility of thinking about leaving my job”
