In this episode, Jackie Gammage joins Kev to share her knowledge and insight into property management. Jackie talks about her journey into property including the mistakes she has made. She also offers invaluable advice on mindset and skillset and talks about why everyone can benefit from the value of their own transferable skills.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Jackie found it difficult to get started in property. She now recognises this was because of her own mindset. She was risk-averse and fuelled with fear which prevented her from taking action.
It’s easy to get stuck in life, to stay comfortable. But not taking action prevents us from moving forward and achieving what we want.
You will already have some of the skills needed to become a property investor, you just need to work out what they are and then build upon the areas where you need to learn.
To achieve what you want you need to focus on it daily, create the steps and plan needed to make it happen.
Surround yourself with people who have similar aspirations.
Read and learn as much as possible to improve your mindset and self-awareness.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I found that the more senior I got the less fulfilled I was becoming”

“The fear of going into something new stopped me from taking action”

“We’ve all got transferable skills and we don’t realise it”

“Who is the person I have to become to get what I want?”

“You become your environment”

From People Management to Property Management: Do Tenants Behave Better Than Colleagues?

Kevin engages in a thought-provoking debate with tenant Alana Jackson James. They explore the complex relationship between landlords and tenants, discussing rent increases, costs, and the challenges both parties face. Kevin also shares invaluable insights into the property market, government policies, and the importance of financial education.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Landlords are not simply raising rents to increase profits; they are facing significantly higher costs due to interest rate hikes and maintenance expenses, often only passing a small percentage of these increases onto tenants.
The government benefits from higher property prices through increased taxes, such as inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty, while landlords and tenants struggle with affordability.
Landlords play a crucial role in providing housing for those who cannot or do not want to buy, and removing them from the market would lead to a severe shortage of available homes.
The government and media often use the landlord-tenant debate as a vote-winning strategy, distracting from the real issues and lack of effective solutions to the housing crisis.
Financial education is essential for both tenants and aspiring property owners to make informed decisions and create a stable future, as the school system fails to provide this crucial knowledge.
Empty homes owned by councils could be a key solution to the housing shortage, but there seems to be a lack of political will to address this issue effectively.

BEST MOMENTS  

"Higher rents does not make me more money as a landlord. Very simple thing. Higher rents are because of higher costs." 

"The system does not teach us financial education in school. And they don't teach us financial education in school because they don't want you financially educated." 

"Attack the easy person to hit. It's like the bully in the playground, go for the little guy. So let's attack the little guy." 

"Too many people are too book-smart and not street-smart. And what that means is they get stuck in a job exactly in the system the government want you in. Yeah, giving you enough every month to survive but not enough to thrive."

"Cheaper prices, cheaper rents. Cheaper interest rates, same profit margin, solved the problem. But who actually needs higher prices? The government. The government need higher prices. Why? Because they get a tax for higher stamp, higher price, more stamp duty. Higher price, more capital gains tax. Higher price, more inheritance tax."

"Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do so you can do what you want to do.I worked really hard doing what most people won't so that I can spend the rest of my life living how most people can't."

Tennant Vs Landord - A Podcast Showdown

Kevin is interviewed about his new book, "Cash in a Property Crash". Kevin shares critical insights on the current state of the UK property market, predicting a significant crash following the election. He reveals strategies for investors to not only survive but thrive during this downturn, and talks about the importance of education and creative thinking in property investing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
The UK is in a property market correction and heading towards a crash, with many people struggling to afford their mortgages due to rising interest rates.
Financing property deals is more about mindset than actual money; the wealthy control debt and leverage other people's money and properties.
Property investing should be treated as a business, focusing on building a portfolio during a crash rather than saving for a single property.
The system is designed to keep people in the middle class, paying taxes, and unaware of financial strategies used by the wealthy.
Creative property investing techniques, such as lease options and vendor financing, can help investors acquire properties with little to no money down.
Self-education is crucial for building wealth, as formal education primarily prepares people for jobs and paying taxes.

BEST MOMENTS  

The great thing about property is anybody can do it. The jobs you do today are probably a lot more difficult than property." 

"The system doesn't survive without the middle class. And the system doesn't want people to be financially savvy, because if they're financially savvy, then they'll stop paying the taxes

"I didn't put any money into my office deal, but on my home, I didn't just do my home with no money. My home, I was paid to purchase it." 

"Self-education makes you a fortune. Formal education makes you a living."

Cash in a Property Crash - Why is NOW the right time to get into Property

Mark is a property investor based in Plymouth. He joins the show to talk to Kevin about his property journey, including what he was doing previously and his current projects. Mark’s investment journey hasn’t been linear, and he shares with Kev the lessons he learnt and how Progressive Property training has aided him in transforming his portfolio.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Mark first started investing in property 20 years ago, but his progress hasn’t been straightforward, one of his first properties remained in negative equity for years after purchase.
Mark wasn’t educated about adding value or how to be an effective property investor and landlord. This education has transformed the way he approaches his property business and investments.
Adding value was one of the first and most important lesson Mark learnt from Progressive. It’s about recycling your money and being able to build growth.
When buying off-plan, you will always overpay.
No money down and HMOs resonated with Mark so these are the strategies he began to invest in.
In 26 months, Mark has done 9 deals, which is more than one deal every 12 weeks!
One of Mark’s proven strategies is sending out letters to potential landlords and investors.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I’ve always had a passion for property”

“If you want to be a property investor you should be adding value, recycling your money”

“It wasn’t that property was bad it was just I was bad at it”

“As entrepreneurs, we will never be happy with what we’ve got”
