Kevin is joined by just two of Progressive Properties successful students Alex and Kate Moyes, today they discuss their journey on purchasing and renovating their first buy to let property. Together they discuss the knowledge gained on their first deal, the importance of being honest about our experience with your investors and why the property market is the best way to invest your money.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Many people focus on the money they make on their property deals. The money is good, but knowledge and experience you have gained from doing the project is priceless.

 
Good tradespeople are not typically available. You are going to have to wait for them to finish another project before you can get them involved. The earlier you secure them the better. The minute you have your deal agreed you should get your tradespeople lined up. Ask your agent or vendor if you are able to show the tradespeople around before completion.

 
You don’t need to have loads of experience in property. You need to be yourself and you will become investable. There will be people out there that will fund your deals because they trust in you.

 
You are significantly better off investing in property than you are investing in the stock market. Whilst you can get 8% returns on investment in the stock market, you cannot leverage in like you can with property investments. Overall you will make more profit investing in property than you will in stocks and shares.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“It has been our playground. The ability to learn has been really powerful”

 

“What you want to happen the day after completion is not show tradespeople around, it is having them starting the work.”

 

“You made yourself be investable by being honest.”

 

“They know that I take it seriously because I am investing in myself.”

How I Bought My First BTL During Lockdown

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean Fitzpatrick shares his property journey from a council estate in Northern Ireland to financial freedom through property investment. Sean candidly discusses how he went from teaching himself piano to reaching university, jumping between cathedral choir positions for free accommodation and eventually becoming disillusioned with the education system. After discovering Progressive Property and implementing creative strategies, he transformed a liability into a cash flowing asset that enabled him to leave his teaching job. His story shows how taking calculated risks and shifting your mindset can lead to extraordinary success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sean grew up on a council estate in Northern Ireland during the troubles as one of nine children, teaching himself piano to Grade 8 level because his family couldn't afford lessons.
After earning a music degree, Sean strategically secured free accommodation by singing in English cathedral choirs while earning a small salary, showing his early property problem solving skills!
The book Rich Dad Poor Dad transformed Sean's perspective on property and money, helping him realise his residential property was a liability draining his finances rather than an asset.
Sean found Progressive Property after seeking property training and won an award for his creative deal structure that required zero investment while providing enough cash flow to leave his teaching job.
The deal involved Sean managing a landlord's property as a live-in manager and using lodger income to cover rent, turning liabilities into cash-flowing assets for both himself and the property owner.
Schools teach children that money isn't important when in fact financial education is crucial; Sean saw more social mobility at Progressive Property events in three days than in his ten year teaching career.
Sean's biggest obstacle was mindset, believing someone would invest with him. But after implementing strategies, an investor offered him £80,000 within five days.
Sean almost walked out during the Face of Progressive competition after failing at a speaking task, but he reframed the challenge by focusing on how property changes lives rather than the object itself.
Property deals receive far more rejections than approvals, but the successful ones are life changing.
Real growth happens outside your comfort zone.
Happiness is internal and controllable rather than dependent on external circumstances, negative emotions are signals that you need to reframe how you're thinking about a situation.
Sean's philosophy is that you must help yourself before you can truly help others, comparing it to putting on your own oxygen mask first on an airplane before assisting others.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"Property isn't just about bricks and mortar. It's not just about money. The biggest thing in property is people. Property is about people and solving people's problems." 

 

"We were able to turn liability properties, our property that we were living in was a liability for us, and this property was a liability for the landlord. We were able to turn them both into cash flowing assets by taking a risk." 

 

"The biggest risk in life is taking no risk at all. If I hadn't taken that risk, I would still be on my school job and I would still feel stuck." 

 

"Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped my thinking about money and finance. I started thinking about property more. Everybody tells you property is an asset. But a property is not an asset if it's losing me money."

Introducing... Sean Fitzpatrick!

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."
