If you haven’t started your journey this year, or you’re feeling behind, this will help motivate you and get you on your way to making 2024 a property investing success!

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Adjust your mindset. Your mindset can be the biggest barrier to achieving your goals.

Start simple, boring is best. Over time you can build to bigger projections when you have experience.
Build a supportive team of people who understand what you are trying to achieve.

BEST MOMENTS  

“Half of 2024 is now gone but this is still a great time to start”

“It’s about a clear long-term perspective”

The Mid-Year Kickstart – 7 Steps to Start Your Property Journey NOW

Kevin hosts Swedish property investors Nana Piesie and Emelie Lindberg Piesie. They share their journey of investing in UK property remotely from Sweden, and soon to be Spain. Discover how they've built a diverse portfolio across England, their strategies for finding deals, and the importance of networking. This episode shows how international investors can succeed in the UK market, offering knowledge for both local and foreign property investors. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Remote property investing is possible with the right education and network. Nana and Emelie have successfully built a portfolio of 16 rent-to-rents, 2 lease options, and several purchases across England while living in Sweden.
The UK property market offers more opportunities for small investors compared to Sweden, where regulations and finance options are restrictive, making it difficult for individuals to invest in property.
Joint ventures with local partners can be an effective strategy for remote investors, ensuring better management and alignment of interests in rent-to-rent deals.
Consistency in your property investment journey is crucial for attracting investors. Staying focused on property and avoiding frequent shifts to other investment types builds trust and credibility.
Networking is fundamental to success in property investing, leading to off-market deals, partnerships, and investment opportunities. Building relationships at property events and trainings is invaluable.
Getting properly educated about the UK property market is essential for foreign investors. It provides the knowledge needed to navigate regulations, find deals, and build a successful portfolio remotely.

BEST MOMENTS  

"If UK had the sun, we would move directly. Because the people in the UK, we love the people in the UK. You're amazing. Everyone is happy, even if they're not happy".

"Without the network, we wouldn't be here, where we are today. No obviously all of the connections that we made and some of them have turned out to be become friends now." 

"We have some investors that came like three years in because they were like just looking, okay, are they still doing property? Are they still doing property? And then boom." 

"Get educated, I would say. Yeah. You gotta get educated first if you don't live there, if you don't know the rules. That was like critical for us."

How to Internationally Invest in the UK Property Market: Miracle Properties with Nana Piesie and Emelie Lindberg Piesie

Join Kevin as he interviews Tricia Crocker, a property investor who's made remarkable progress in just 18 months. Discover how Tricia went from juggling multiple jobs to successfully managing rent-to-rent properties and executing creative deals.  Learn how she overcame self-doubt and leveraged unconventional strategies to build her property portfolio, all while maintaining a full-time job and family commitments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Tricia transitioned from various careers to property investing after attending a Multiple Streams of Property Income event, demonstrating the impact of education and networking.
She utilises creative strategies like rent-to-rent, vendor finance, and assisted sales, proving that property investing doesn't always require significant personal capital.
Tricia manages six rent-to-rent properties, generating an average monthly profit of £8,000, showcasing the potential of this strategy.
Building confidence and overcoming self-doubt were crucial to Tricia's success, achieved through continuous learning and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals.
Direct-to-vendor approaches have been more effective for Tricia than working with estate agents, highlighting the importance of personal communication in property deals.
Balancing a full-time job, family commitments, and property investing is challenging but achievable through prioritisation and consistent daily actions towards goals.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I've always had an interest in property, So that's how come I ended up here and I turned up at a multiple streams property income one day. And the rest is history."

"I come to the mastermind sessions frequently every month without fail to surround myself with people who are further ahead than me and who know what they're doing." 

"I've managed to help other people within my family and my friends and my kids, friends, parents and other things sort out Issues that they've had with their properties and that." 

"I have learned that I'm the only person that's responsible for how I react to things. And I'm the only person that's responsible to change my life."

Building a Brighter Future with Tricia Crocker

‘Overall estate agents are good at helping you to get the best deal, but they are also great at ensuring the best deal for themselves’

In this fascinating episode, Kevin shares 7 tricks that are vital for anyone who is a property entrepreneur. He explains why agents use these tricks and how you can respond to make sure you are getting what YOU want from an agent, listen in now. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
 Losing the keys

If a letting agent is competing with another agent it can stop access, so they do not miss out on commission. 

Estate agents also lose keys to manipulate who is viewing a property because they may have a preferred buyer. 
 Making you feel that you have to act now

Agents are commission based so their focus is getting deals done. They will tell you there are other offers on the table or that the vendor is about to remove the property from the market to build FOMO (Fear of missing out). 
 Talking you out of the best deal for you

Never let the agent know your bottom price when selling, or your top price for buying remember they are working for commission. 

If you let them know these prices they will make the deal at the figures you have disclosed. 
 Selling you extra advertising

If your property is not selling agents will often tell you they can introduce extra advertising if you pay them more, the question you should be asking is why weren’t they doing this at the start of the sale process? 
 Incorrect valuations

There are 3 types of agents, and they value in different ways. 

Overvaluation – the aim is to tie you into a contract with them by offering an above market 

valuation that entices you to sign up with them and then managing your expectations. 

A correct valuation – this agent is realistic they may not have as many properties on their books but are the most honest and accurate in their valuation. 

A low valuation – this is aimed  at  getting the property it sold as quickly as possible. 
 Getting you to sign along-termsole agency contract or charging up front

Only use one agent to market your property but keep flexible and don’t get tied into a long-term contract. 

High street agents usually operate on a contract and charge you at the end 

Online agents entice you in with a lower fee, but you have to pay up front. This means they have no incentive to sell the property. 
 Convincing you to use their recommended mortgage broker

If you need a mortgage they will be keen for you to use the in-house mortgage broker as this will be double commission for them. The mortgage broker is unlikely to be an independent and will therefore not have access to the ‘whole of the market’ for the buyer this results in a more limited choice of mortgage products. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Trust me they know where the keys are’

At the end of the day, a bid is just a bid, it doesn’t mean it will go through to completion’

‘Get 3 different quotes to ensure you have an understanding of the ways agents value properties’

‘As you will be buying and selling a number of properties building a positive relationship with your agent is key’

‘It costs you because you will not have access to the best mortgage product for you’
