bit.ly/Podcast-MSOPI

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Kevin has been in property investing for 18 years now, he has tried and tested many property investing strategies. Currently he has a large portfolio of single lets and HMOs.
There are some big opportunities in the property market right now due to the end of furlough and the end of stamp duty holiday: both will change the property market.
If you are buying a residential house you need to decide what the financial implications are – is this going to be your family home or just a stop gap?
Equity release should be one of the last options, there are much better alternatives out there. It isn’t something Kevin would recommend.

 

BEST MOMENTS 


“Whichever one you choose to do, just make sure you do something”

“Equity release, never done it, wouldn’t recommend it”

The Progressive Property Podcast

Progressive Property Podcast

Should I Purchase My House or Investment Property First?

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”

Property Mechanic's Education Drive: Never Give Up! A Conversation with Mark Akerman

Join the conversation with Emerald Fisk, a former personal trainer turned successful property investor who shares her inspiring journey in this episode. Discover how Emerald went from having no money and support to building a thriving property portfolio through networking, education, and the right mindset. Learn about the challenges she faced, the opportunities she found, and the lessons she learned along the way. Emerald also shares valuable insights on the current property market, creative financing strategies, and the importance of investing in your local area.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Networking, education, and the right mindset are crucial for success in property investing, even with no prior experience or funds.
Joint venture partnerships can be a powerful way to leverage other people's resources and expertise to get started in property.
Embracing challenges, stepping out of your comfort zone, and believing in yourself are key to overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals.
The current property market presents massive opportunities for educated investors, while tired and uneducated landlords are selling up.
Investing in your local area can be more advantageous than chasing cheap deals in unfamiliar locations.
Creative financing strategies, such as no money down investing, can help you build a portfolio without using your own funds.
Surrounding yourself with like-minded people and learning from their experiences can help you develop a more open and growth-oriented mindset.

BEST MOMENTS  

"If I can do it, anybody can do it. You always need the right network around you, the right mindset and the right education. That's the three things that you need." 

"It's very hard to network when you don't have a conversation." 

"I see the educated people taking advantage of everything that's going on at the moment, and I see the uneducated people wanting to leave the property market." 

"If you're in the more expensive areas, that's great. Find people that want to work with you in those areas." 

"If you've got a closed mindset, the only way you can change that is go and spend time with other people with a more open mindset."

Perseverance and Necessity Kick Started my Property Journey - A Conversation with Emerald Fisk

Wendy Brumwell, a successful commercial conversion property investor joins Kev in this episode. Wendy talks about the strategies she has used in the past 11 years of her property investing journey and shares the lessons she has learnt along the way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
For ten years Wendy knew what she wanted to do in property but she thought she had to have the cash to do it. She immediately realised this wasn’t the case when she attended her first property investing course.
Permitted development ‘PD’ is planning that is already set at a government level. This means as long as you meet all of the criteria outlined then you already have agreed planning permission.
Wendy takes time every morning to do something for her whether such as reading or exercise. She does this to set up her day.
Wendy learnt so many lessons from her self-build project that she now wants to do it all over again!
Anybody can do property, including commercial conversions. They just need the right education. 

BEST MOMENTS  

"You spent ten years saving it all up, I spent ten years messing it all up”

“Sometimes being an entrepreneur, if you enjoy what you do it doesn’t feel like work”

“I learnt so much from it that I would do it again and do all those things differently”

"You can start with smaller projects and work your way up"
