Simon welcomes Richard Miller, a former army officer turned successful property investor, who shares his incredible journey into the world of real estate. Richard discusses a life-changing mega deal that generated over £100,000 in profit from a single investment, highlighting the importance of education and networking in property investing. He also recounts his initial foray into property after being inspired by his father's advice, leading to a series of successful investments, including a remarkable 48-bed HMO in Sheffield. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gaining knowledge about property investment is crucial. Understanding the risks and having a solid support network transforms a gamble into a calculated risk.
• Simply acquiring knowledge is not enough; taking decisive action is essential for changing one's life and achieving financial goals.
• Focusing on larger property deals can lead to greater profits with less competition. By moving away from smaller, saturated markets, investors can find more lucrative opportunities.
• Building a strong network of investors and partners can provide the necessary funding and experience to tackle larger projects that may initially seem out of reach.

BEST MOMENTS

"I thought I could earn more than that, hopefully with less work and be my own boss through property investing."

"I found a six bed student HMO in Sheffield, off market, bricks and mortar value 345, agreed to buy it for 325."

"I had no money again and had to, right, do I phone up John... or do I try and do this and try and make it work?"

"If you want something different for your life, you've got to do something different."
