Simon discusses property investment strategies with Ian and Laura Sheldrake, a couple who have successfully transitioned from traditional property ventures to more lucrative opportunities. As busy doctors with three young children, they share their journey of learning and growth through the Mastermind program, where they focused on the BRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) to replace their income. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Investing in property education can significantly shorten the learning curve and help avoid costly mistakes. The experience gained from structured programs can lead to more effective strategies and better decision-making.
• Utilising other people's money and expertise can enhance investment opportunities. Transitioning from a homeowner mindset to an investor mindset allows for greater financial growth and collaboration.
• Adopting a modern method of auction with extended completion times provides security for both buyers and sellers. This approach allows for better planning and reduces the stress associated with traditional sales.
• Managing multiple projects simultaneously rather than completing one before starting another can accelerate growth. This strategy allows for more efficient use of time and resources, leading to increased cash flow.

BEST MOMENTS

"We recognised that there was an opportunity cost in that process... our time could be better used."

"The belief of what you're believing what you think can be achieved has been a huge change."

"I thought, well, that's very nice. But you know, I'm sensible. I'm not gonna be silly."

"We went into it with a homeowner mindset and we've come out of it with an investor mindset."

"It's just been a really enjoyable experience... we've both learnt a lot and grown a lot through the process."
