From Property To Merchandising & Back

Alana joins Kev in this episode to talk about leaseholders and service charges. They discuss why this may be the next scandal and how the government, councils and owners can tackle the problem. They also talk about why new builds are never a good investment strategy as a house buyer and the inflated prices they charge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Some developers are claiming the leasehold charges are for the upkeep of things like roads and playparks.
Developers may build parks to get planning in areas that previously would be refused.
These leasehold properties on new builds aren’t transparent. Many house buyers are completely unaware of what they are buying into.
Kev believes that these types of leasehold charges on new houses should be banned. We pay enough council tax that councils should be paying for roads, parks etc…
New build houses are always sold for an inflated price.
Legislation should be targeting the bad 5% of tenants and landlords, not the good 95%. Most current laws and legislation are hurting the good tenants and landlords.

BEST MOMENTS  

“New build developers are advising houses for sale but they are being sneaky”

“This just screams dodgy to me”

“You’re almost living on a toll road when you move into one of these estates”

“They’re creating a legacy for generations to come”

“It’s kind of a legal-robbery”

“95% of landlords are great but it’s the 5% that give them a bad name”

Fleeceholders: Are Leaseholders pulling the WOOL over our eyes? Service Charges Scandal

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."
