Unfortunately, agents are reluctant to rent to SA start-ups that have no track record. Knowing what to say to agents and landlords is essential. In the podcast, Kevin shares details of training and assets that will enable you to overcome this issue. Joint venturing with Kevin provides instant credibility. Details of how to do that and the other benefits this provides are in the podcast.   BEST MOMENTS ‘There is an awful lot of pent-up business demand out there, right now.' ‘I´m covering all of the bases for you.' ‘I´m providing you with a website, with the agent scripts and the flyers.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis   ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.

Former Army intelligence officer and once private contractor to CIA financier Booze Allen Hamilton, Scott Bennett the author of the book ‘Shell Game” a Military Whistleblowing Report to Congress. stated he gave Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings information about Swiss bank accounts which directly implicated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama in the formation of I.S.I.S. just prior to Hastings being killed in a suspicious auto accident. Scott explains the true story about the report which prompted Edward Snowden to go public with information about unconstitutional abuses against Americans by the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Justice and the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama. Judge Napolitano: Hillary Clinton Provided Material Assistance To Terrorists And Lied To Congress On FOX Business News July 5, 2015, FOX News chief legal correspondent Judge Andrew Napolitano told FBN host Charles Payne a “conspiracy existed” among President Obama, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Treasury Department and various Congressional leaders to have arms sent to rebels in Syria and Libya. Napolitano came to the conclusion after going through several hundred pages of documents with FOX News’ intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge. “A conspiracy existed between the president, and Mrs. Clinton, and Congressional leaders from both parties in both Houses others in the State Department, the Treasury Department and the Justice Department to get arms shipped to rebels in Syria and in Libya,” Napolitano said. “Some of those rebels are members of organizations that are on the terror list and providing them with material assistance is a felony,” Napolitano explained. “So the arms dealers applied for and received permission from State and Treasury lawfully to sell arms to the government of Qatar and they lawfully did so.” Qatar then sold, delivered, bartered or gave these arms to the terrorist organizations with the knowledge and consent of Hillary Rodham Clinton when she was Secretary of State. The fact is Fox News has had this information for a long time. Former Army psyop officer Scott Bennett, author of “SHELL GAME” Military Whistleblowing Report to Congress” May 12, 2015 and reported that extensive information he had which outlined in detail the felonious acts committed by Hillary Clinton, President Obama and numerous members of congress who knew and were involved in arms shipments from Qatar to Libya to Turkey and into Syria where the arms were given to ISIS. The arms shipments were provided by the U.S. government under a plan devised by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Scott pointed out that he had given Hannity, O’Reilly, Kelly and Van Sustern detailed information regarding Swiss bank accounts and the money that was transferred from the CIA into ISIS accounts by way of Booz, Allen Hamilton. Additional e-mails were also given to FOX. Scott has contacted almost everyone in Congress and made them aware of the information he has that Fox News is now talking about. Better late than never.
