Podcast appearances and mentions of james email

Caroline Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss various questions and topics related to property investment and management, covering issues such as handling auctions, dealing with severe down valuations from lenders, valuing HMOs, regulations in the serviced accommodation market, and window furnishings for rental properties. Caroline also shares updates on her upcoming co-working space projects and the challenges of securing financing for unique ventures. KEY TAKEAWAYS When participating in auctions, it is important to have the necessary deposit money ready for each lot you bid on. If you lose the bid, the money will be redeposited back into your account. If you experience a severe down valuation from a lender, contesting it may not be successful. It is often more effective to start a new finance process with a different lender that uses a different surveyor. Valuing an HMO can vary depending on location, lender, and other factors. It is important to consult with other landlords in the area and work closely with your broker to understand the valuation process. When dealing with a property that has a strong odour, using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar can help remove the smell BEST MOMENTS "There are enough deals to be had under normal buying conditions where you don't need to have those deposits sat there." "I think take a step back and make sure that you're really talking to your broker. Try a couple of different brokers." "I think people often ask when it's your first one and you don't have a recipe of what you did last time." "I think it's just being a little bit more flexible, I guess. And that's one thing about being a small operator."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.

Nick Claydon talks to Danny, and Katie, who discuss their journey in the property industry, reflecting particularly on their initial meeting and mentorship, as well as the challenges they faced, including personal and relationship changes. Despite these obstacles, they remained positive and committed to their goals, and here they share how they pivoted their strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic and successfully raised a million pounds in private finance, as well as their approach to scaling their portfolio, including buying 12 houses in 12 months! KEY TAKEAWAYS There is always a need to adapt and pivot quickly in order to overcome challenges and continue moving forward. By being authentic and sharing their journey, Katie and Danny were able to attract investors who believed in their vision and wanted to be a part of their success. When it comes to working with spouses or partners, Danny and Katie stress the significance of being on the same page and working together towards a common vision. Problem-solving is a key attribute of a successful property investor. We need to navigate challenges, find solutions, and overcome obstacles that arise throughout the investing journey. BEST MOMENTS "We're trying to break through and are breaking through that sort of generational wealth, glass ceiling, if you like." "We've raised a million pounds and bought 12 houses in 2021." "We stopped raising money for a little while because we thought we've actually got this all lined up and it's comfortable." "Don't stop, just keep doing it all the time, whether you think you need it or not, because the likelihood is you will."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.

Sarah Blaney interviews Nick Claydon about the many challenges faced when a project nears completion, including the importance of marketing and building relationships with local businesses, as well as the frustrations of dealing with utilities and infrastructure. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start early and be proactive in dealing with utilities and infrastructure when launching a project. There's huge value in networking and being part of a community of like-minded individuals in the property industry. There's a great need to retain control and stay involved in important aspects of the project, rather than outsourcing everything to others. There are benefits to be found in marketing and collaboration with local businesses to enhance the guest experience and attract customers. BEST MOMENTS "Anything relating to public sector interaction is a challenge, I think. And you have to build in extra time, and a lot of extra time, I think, to deal with that." "So yeah, it's all good fun doing that. I like that angle, that part of it” "When you're doing a big project like a hotel or like a co-working space, where you know you have a wide audience at the end who can use your service, the other thing that it's not a challenge, it's just part of the process is…" "When you're working on a big project which does need these infrastructures put in, it's something that, whilst you can say, oh, I've allowed eight months for this, it's one of those things where it can astound you how long it can take."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.

Nick Claydon talks to Babs Elscome, who shares her journey into property investing and how she overcame challenges along the way. As someone who works in risk management, Babs initially struggled with the idea of investing in property. However, her desire for more time with her daughter and the tangible nature of property led her to take the leap. Babs discusses her first property deal, a block of flats in Morecambe, and how she has since expanded her portfolio through creative financing and finding angel investors.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Babs initially had reservations about approaching family and friends for investment, but she learned to overcome this block by networking with professionals and building trust with potential investors. Babs demonstrated persistence in finding opportunities, such as writing a letter to a vendor and reaching out to potential investors on social media. This persistence led to successful deals and partnerships. You can never underestimate the importance of building relationships based on trust and likability. By establishing trust and rapport with potential investors, Barbara was able to secure funding for her projects. There is a need for ongoing learning and development in the property industry. Barbara sought out coaching and mentorship, which helped her expand her knowledge and skills, enabling her to tackle more complex projects and overcome obstacles. BEST MOMENTS "But yeah, I think it was a, I'd been a bit accidental landlord a few years before and sold at a loss and just kind of thought, yeah, I just didn't know what I was doing."  "So yeah, I think it was just the training and Caroline and realising that I was in a pain point." "So, OK, so tell us a little bit about, you know, you came on some training and you got started. I know you got started straight away. You kind of got the spark, didn't you?" "So, um, yeah, I think, I think cause it was always still that, you know, tenancies and the properties that were already had in the background. And then, um, yeah, I think it was just, uh, yeah, I really enjoy property."   VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Sarah Blaney interviews James Horgan, a seasoned investor who successfully manages a full-time job, a young family, and investments in both in and out of his local area. James shares his focus on investing in Wales, discussing the strong demand for rental housing and the unique opportunities and challenges presented by the Welsh government's regulations. He also talks about his latest project, a closed hotel that he plans to convert into a smart hotel/apart hotel, catering to mountain bikers and tourists visiting the Brecon area. James emphasises the importance of discipline, maintaining a full pipeline of deals, and leveraging a team as key behaviours for property investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Keeping a full pipeline of deals is a key behaviour that James highlights. He stresses the importance of continuously searching for new opportunities and not becoming complacent with current projects. Leveraging a team is essential for success in property investing. There is great value to be found in building relationships and working with others who can contribute their expertise and skills to different aspects of the business. One must never believe that can do it all. It's crucial to seek help and support from others when we need it. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki is a transformative book that focusses on developing an investment mindset and understanding money. Jamese also mentions other resources such as podcasts, YouTube channels, and property magazines that provide valuable information and updates on the industry.  BEST MOMENTS "There's a wave of new compliance and regulation at the moment for buy select." "It enables you to bring a bit of creativity to a deal, doesn't it? And looking at the problem creatively” "Dismantling my ego has been the most valuable thing I've done as an individual."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Sarah Blaney interviews Ken Riley, a property investor based in York, who shares his journey in property investing, starting from his initial property purchase in 2007 to his decision to pursue property investing seriously three years ago. He discusses the challenges he faced, including the shiny penny syndrome and the importance of focusing on a specific strategy and area. Ken also emphasises the importance of honesty, being true to oneself, and building strong relationships with investors and tenants. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on consistency and mastering a few key strategies rather than trying to do everything mediocrely. This will lead to better results and success in the long run. Be honest and transparent in your dealings with others, whether it's investors, tenants, or business partners. Building trust and maintaining integrity is crucial in the property investing business. Be yourself and play to your strengths. Trying to be someone you're not or taking on tasks that you're not good at will only lead to frustration and inefficiency. Focus on what you excel at and find ways to leverage your strengths. Leverage other people's money and explore different funding options. Don't be afraid to take on investors or seek out creative financing solutions to fund your property investments. This can help you scale your business and achieve your financial goals faster.  BEST MOMENTS "I was a property investor. I thought I knew it all back then because I had the one property, right?" "I just focused on one thing, which was buy-to-lets in my home area. And then once I'd done a couple of them, I started looking at HMOs." "I just think you just gotta be fair. Some of these people, you know, just treated unfairly from a lot of rogue landlords. And I just don't want to be known as one of those." "I think, you know, if you're just getting started, look at the strengths you have, write all the things you want to achieve down and then manipulate them."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Nick and Caroline Claydon discuss the difference between a mentor and a coach in the context of property investing, and share their experiences as mentors, including stories of helping students overcome blocks and achieve their goals KEY TAKEAWAYS A mentor is someone who has been successful in a specific field and can guide and lead others through their own process, while a coach helps individuals draw out their own answers and focuses on accountability. A mentor provides intensive guidance and support, typically through a two-day intensive program in the field. They help students overcome blocks, take action, and learn from their mentor's experience. Mentoring sessions often involve deep dives into the goals and vision of the mentee. It is crucial for couples or partners to align their strategies and life plans to avoid conflicts and ensure a successful partnership. Mentoring sessions help students overcome various blocks and fears, such as fear of taking action, fear of speaking to agents, imposter syndrome, and fear of money. Mentors provide guidance and support to help students push through these obstacles.  BEST MOMENTS "A mentor is someone that has by necessity been there and done what you're looking to do." "Money won't come if you don't have a deal to start with." "I love mentoring people. I like to help people. I like to see the moment when they get it." "A mentor should be completely independent."  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Nick Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss the importance of having a strong "why" in property investing, and share their own personal reasons for getting started in property and how their motivations have evolved over time. They also highlight three key behaviours of successful property investors, including persistence, following the advice of experienced investors, and overcoming assumptions about money, and why it's vital to celebrate your wins along the way! KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a strong "why" is crucial in property investing. It provides motivation and helps overcome obstacles. Three key behaviours of a successful property investor are resilience, not taking things personally, and finding enjoyment in the process. It is important to listen to and follow the advice of experienced property investors who have achieved success. Raising money for investments is not as difficult as it may seem, and it is important to remove assumptions and approach potential investors with confidence. Celebrating success along the way is important to acknowledge achievements and stay motivated in the property investing journey.  BEST MOMENTS "If you're not connected with your why, when something tries to derail you, it's easier to give up." "Persistence is one of the most important things. Keep turning up every day, keep taking action." "Don't take things personally. In this business, you will meet lots of big personalities” "Follow advice of people who've been there and done it before. Why make the same mistakes that you know someone else has made?"  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

In this episode of the This Property Life podcast, Caroline Claydon is joined by Sarah Blaney to discuss the pros and cons of working with angel investors in the property business. They delve into the benefits for angel investors, how to find them, and how to structure agreements and interest rates.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Angel investors are private individuals with capital to lend to property investors. They are typically high net worth individuals who have money that is not being used effectively. Finding angel investors is possible by networking and sharing your investment opportunities with others. It's important to approach them with a win-win mindset, showing them how their investment can benefit your business. The structure of the agreement with angel investors can vary depending on the needs and preferences of both parties. This includes the amount of investment, the interest rate, and the repayment terms. Interest rates for angel investors can range from 5% to 12%, depending on the market conditions and the specific project. It's important to offer a competitive rate that aligns with the risk and return of the investment. Building relationships with angel investors is crucial for long-term success. Trust and credibility are key factors in attracting and retaining angel investors, and repeat investments are common when a strong relationship has been established. BEST MOMENTS "You're not doing them a favour. You're doing them the favour. It's a complete win-win situation."  "There's so much safety built into [property deals] because we have surveys done, we understand what the valuations are."  "This is a people business and to build relationships."  "We are quite picky about who we will do business with."  "Start your money raising pretty much on day one… building your credibility and showing that you are doing this professionally."   VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

KEY TAKEAWAYS We can often be overwhelmed by the need to make money, sacrificing our lives and time in order to keep our income. But the best way of living life is make the money work for us. Property prices have steadily risen over time, and while it may see some blips here and there, the general trajectory is one of growth. There is no substitute for experience and knowledge when it comes to property. By arming yourself with the best education you can take advantage of any opportunity when it comes along. The real difference in investing happens when you stop treating it as a hobby, and start treating it as a business.  BEST MOMENTS 'I had no time to do what I wanted to do with life' 'I worked hard for money. Now I want money to work hard for me' 'My focus is passive income strategies'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

James D'Souza talks to Michael Lawson - an ex-pat currently living in Dubai, and who invests in a certain, concentrated property development area in Scotland. Michael talks about the best practices he's discovered when it comes to investing from abroad, and the life he's been able to create since doing so. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you stop treating investing as a hobby and start treating it like a business, then the results improve exponentially. Investing in a chosen area can work very effectively. You need to have a good knowledge of what works, and where. If you have a great team on the ground, then it's safe to take yourself away and rely on their talents. You can live anywhere in the world if you have the right boots on the ground. You will always have jobs to perform, so property investing can never truly be fully passive. This is just a pipe dream. You will always find tasks to perform.  BEST MOMENTS 'I'm treating this as a business instead of a pension pot' 'It's kind of the perfect area to invest' 'It's not passive income. It's far from passive' ‘Quality homes for quality people'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Caroline Claydon is joined by Kenny Campbell of Breadalbane Finance, to discuss development finance, quantity surveying, what we need to look at from an investors point of view, and what the lenders look at and expect from us. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's no denying that times are difficult right now, and lenders and investors are twitchy and unsure. This doesn't mean that there isn't activity or opportunities to be had. Construction costs are rising and profit margins are being squeezed. If people own sites for development, they are in many cases being left to see what the market will do in six months' time. Nee developers who have done projects in the past are now looking to level up. This means that risks need to be mitigated, teams need to be built, and minimise risks in order to give yourself the best chance of getting finance. Just because you have finance at your fingertips doesn't mean you should snatch it and hope for the best. Look carefully at the numbers and make sure they work for you in the long term.  BEST MOMENTS 'We're in a trough that's only matched by 2008' 'A lot of people are planning and designing small projects' 'As long as there is profitability to be had, things are moving forwards!' 'There's a big psychology thing there, where people have finance in their grasp and just want to press that button'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem       Breadalbane Finance - https://www.breadalbanefinance.co.uk/     To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Caroline Claydon talks to Amir Safdar, a hugely experienced investor and graduate of the Property Wealth System training, who discusses how he took the education he received, and used it to propel his investing journey to the next level! KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite the level of knowledge you may have, there will always be a fresh new way to do something, so constantly developing is never a bad thing. It's worth remembering that when you work for someone else, your position will never be guaranteed. The only way to achieve true security is by working for yourself. Winning in property investing doesn't just affect you - it can create life-changing results for those we care about. Property creates legacies. Giving back is a vital part of Amir's ethos. Once financial freedom was achieved, he dedicated himself tot eh bettering of other people's lives, including health and wellbeing for those in need, and revitalising communities.  BEST MOMENTS 'There's always another way to learn and do things' 'It's important to remember your why' 'We want to see how many lives we can change'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

James D'Souza talks to Oli Arnold of Vanlife Conversions, which converts vans into camper vans, about renovations and refurbishments on a smaller scale, and how you can apply the techniques he's learned to your own property investment portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating a power team will give you the skill sets you need in order to turn properties into something wonderful. Living the life of a digital nomad has become very attractive. People are able to travel and work from anywhere, renting out their houses in order to provide income and experiencing life up close. The principles of renovating and flipping vans can also be applied to house renovations. It's the same fundamental business model. Centring the design around the place of comfort is always wise. People want ao centre that they can fall back to and feel comfortable within.  BEST MOMENTS 'I learned a lot about leadership and management' 'Customers do a lot of research before they take the plunge' 'We tend to start with the bed'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

James D'Souza meets Dorian Payne, who started investing in property at a very young age, and utilises a very niche strategy. Dorian talks about his investing journey, and what makes his investing method so unique. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you can tie your passion to your profession then you never feel as though you're working. Days fly by much quicker if we work at the things we love. You may feel as though you're stuck in a rut from time to time, but each challenge is a lesson. You can learn from any situation, so always look for the opportunities to grow and develop. Dorian's company now specialises in social, adaptable and affordable housing for people with unique needs and requirements, and who may find themselves closed out of traditional property avenues. As not just investors, but builders and packagers, Dorian is able to source land, plan the building side of things, and take the whole arrangement to the housing associations in order to secure completion.  BEST MOMENTS 'My parents were accidental investors' 'When you do something you're not fond of, a minute turns into a day' 'There's just so much that needs to be done' 'It's an end to end solution'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

James D'Souza talks to Raj Bhatt, who after completing property investing education took action to fulfil his ambitions. But how did he do? Listen as Raj talks about his property journey, and how he turned dreams into success! KEY TAKEAWAYS There's no substitute for knowledge and mentorship. There's always something you won't know, or a new way of doing things you haven't yet thought of. Look at the numbers and decide which strategy will get you to where you want to be as soon as possible. Some strategies work better in certain areas. All investing journeys are unique. The first step is to focus on an area, learn about what works there, and make it your second home. You'll be spending much time in your golden investing area.  BEST MOMENTS 'It opened my mind to whole new strategies' 'You need to smash out your viewings' 'It's all a numbers game' 'Your time is precious!'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned. Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities. Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money. Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more.  BEST MOMENTS 'It took me so long to learn the craft' 'Solidify the learnings. Make sure you master them' 'It's all relationships!'

In this episode Ben Green discusses the property strategy he is using to drive his passion for giving back to the community and help those who most need it The assisted and supported living strategy involves buying for demand and working with local authorities to provide homes for those who need it most and this is a great opportunity to hear about Ben's experiences and the many elements that need to be understood and worked with to achieve successful leases that support those who need help the most   KEY TAKEAWAYS   The key is to find strong covenants the good leases that the investment funds will buy The people who live in our houses need ongoing support so you need to be very clear about what you are doing and aren't doing There is your exit, your housing association partner and the care partners and the local authority and NHS element The front end work is intensive but we've been able to build leases that are 10-15 years long The local authority commissioner needs to support and sign off on the property, the money is coming from local authority housing benefit Our housing association is ultimately our tenant so we have to complete the property to their standards and they will give us a lease The tenants care package is completely separate and we are not involved in this The housing association partner will have a service level agreement with the care partner We have a funding panel in place that understand there is an institutional exit for these properties There are commercial valuers who have expertise and understand this market We had it over fully compliant and then the housing association take over the compliance There are many pieces to the jigsaw and the challenge is bringing all the parts together From a funding view it can be a far more secure tenancy if it's set up in the right way   BEST MOMENTS   ‘There's a lot of good to be done in the sector and we spent a lot of time initially putting together the jigsaw pieces' ‘The reason we have a separate housing association, a separate care partner is to make sure our tenants are looked after' ‘We have to understand the people we are housing and every individual will have a different package.

James D'Souza discusses the Renter's Reform Bill 2023 - what it means, how it might affect you, and what to expect when it comes into force. KEY TAKEAWAYS This was first raised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto, with the aim of creating a fairer rental market for all, balancing the power between tenants and landlords. Rents can only be increased once per year, must be a fair figure in line with inflation, and must be a justified increase. Ombudsmans will be settling disputes from now on, at a cost to landlords. This forces landlords to prevent such measures being taken in the first place.  BEST MOMENTS 'Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at what those changes are' 'We want to be fair as landlords and give our tenants good homes' 'We should only provide homes we would wish to live in'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Caroline Claydon talks to Charlie Sullivan, who made great success in property for one reason - to create time and build a flexible life, allowing him to be far more present for his family. Charlie discusses the value of time, and why property is the best way to make sure we're there for the people who count in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life doesn't have to be a series of unfulfilling jobs designed to make others happy. There is real value in striking out for yourself and making your own dreams come true. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. It's important to value each day, especially when it comes to those we love. Property allows us to spend far more time with them. We are often not as time poor as we like to think. Analyse your actual days and you will be surprised at how much time you actually have to make your ambitions happen.  BEST MOMENTS 'We had that massive reason - we wanted to sack the boss' 'Tomorrow is not guaranteed' 'We're not really tired, we just get a bit lazy sometimes, that's all'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

In this conversation, Caroline and Gary talk about how you can get the best out of working with estate agents, and how to align your different aims. KEY TAKEAWAYS Always look for ways to build and nurture your relationship with estate agents. You'll always get time from them if you look to build and provide mutual wins. We can use the agent as a way to create a case to the seller, by advising the agent of the reasons why your offer might be at the place it is. When the agent relays this information to the client, it can move things along. Most first time buyers tend to not have everything in place when they look to purchase. An agent wants the easiest transaction possible, and allowances can be made if their job is made simpler.  BEST MOMENTS 'Ultimately you always need to be involved with the estate agent' 'It's a good time for investors to look for ways to nurture their relationships' 'You're trying to have foresight on the relationship with the agent'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Caroline Claydon talks to Andrea Carrington, one of the most renowned mentors and trainers for Property Wealth System, about the ways in which you can operate in the UK housing sector from overseas. KEY TAKEAWAYS The main challenges faced by international investors are that a UK bank account is required, structure is needed, along with an understanding of how the property market operates. Guidance is the key to international investing success. Use the mentorship of those who can help you to understand the market you wish to operate within. You do not need to live in the country in which you wish to invest. It's more important to have a clear understanding of what you wish to achieve by doing so. You do not need your own money in order to start investing. Find investors and guarantee a return that works for both of you.  BEST MOMENTS 'We're all about the international angle' 'There are quite a few challenges, but they are all fixable' 'Having the right guidance is key' 'It's the company that creates the credit profile'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Lindsey Kane, who designed and built a property business to give herself and her father the freedom to make their own choices in life, as well as security for the future. Lindsey talks about how she turned her experience into practical use, and how she is now following her passions into other areas of business and investing as a result. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a power to be found in diversity. If we're stuck doing the same things day in and day out, then it can lead to a mental malaise. This is one of the main reasons why people make the leap to property investing. When we take charge of our own destiny, it does not just lead to financial benefits. It also gives us confidence and imbues us with power. When we put ourselves into uncomfortable positions, it can make us feel awkward, but this sensation will pass. On the other side of that awkwardness comes real growth. Make sure that your team works as a group and with the sole aim of collectively succeeding. When you yoke the strengths of many, you empower each one of you.  BEST MOMENTS 'It's given us the confidence to do many other things' 'I enjoyed getting out there and meeting people' 'I wanted flexibility. I wanted to build something for myself' 'If I'd know then what I know now, it would have changed my life'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Property investing is certainly a people business, so how can we make sure that we're effectively building relationships that can boost our chances of success? In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to Andy Swann, who has an extensive relationship-building background having come from the military, about the ways in which we can negotiate ourselves away from danger towards life-changing, successful results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Inspiration for how big you can go and where you can reach, can be found all around us. Keep your eyes open and be motivated by the achievements of others. Many are worried about offering too low and somehow offending the estate agents by doing so. Overcoming this fear is important as we should always be aiming for the best deal for us. Rapport is essential when you want to initiate a negotiation It is definitely worth building as soon as possible. Use active listening as much as possible and note down your best chances of input. The vendor will always have an agenda of their own, and it's important that they feel as though they achieve it. Doing a property deal is not a one way street.  BEST MOMENTS 'We explored where you can go and how big you can go' 'You can't just jump into a conversation and expect to get what you want' 'We're not waiting to talk, we are actively listening. We're writing notes' 'What's key is giving the vendor what they want'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Mark meets James and Caroline, to talk about how he's revolutionised the way of thinking around investments and entrepreneurship, his mindset, philosophy and beliefs around investing, and his empowering, inspiring journey in business so far. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your vision has to be overpowering, and the hunger that drives you towards it has to be insatiable. If they are, then nothing can stop you. If you keep taking action, then you keep opening avenues of opportunity. The more you act, the more you'll attract. Quality matters far more than quantity. Even small advancements in progress are better than nothing. Just keep moving. Always surround yourself with people who inspire you. They can lift you up when you face challenge, and they can inspire you to go even further during the high moments.  BEST MOMENTS 'I'm sure that there are plenty of people just like me, out there today' 'If your hunger and your vision is big enough, then that will keep on driving you' 'I knew what I wanted to do.

The term "angel investors" is used constantly in the world of property investing, but what are they, and more importantly, how can you make them a part of your investing journey? In this episode, Caroline and James tell you everything you need to know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Angel investors don't tend to come to you. You have to get out there and find them for yourself. Once you do, your property journey will be dramatically accelerated. Angel investors are looking for ways to make their money work harder for them. We, as property investors, can offer a far better return than traditional banks or interest rates. The world of money is on everyone's mind right now due to the cost of living and the fragile economy. People are actively seeking help. You must treat angel investors as joint venture partners. You must look to create a win win situation for both you and your investor.  BEST MOMENTS 'Private investor is a much better way to describe them' 'They're looking for a safer way to get their money working as well' 'Now is a fantastic time to be doing this' 'You're actually offering a service they desperately need'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to property investor, Jesper Frederiksen, who discusses the ways in which he has made the most of former bank buildings, turning them into residential units that produce huge wins for his property portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS In 2021, new measures were introduced, designed to transform high streets into a mixture of retail and residential. As banks are shuttering, there is now potential to turn these large unused units into housing. Bridging finance was sorely affected in the wake of COVID lockdowns, meaning rates changed dramatically. This has thankfully tempered and settled now. Pick your strategy and stick with it, rather than changing tack halfway. This will ensure that you are resolute and fixed upon a specific goal. Never discount the power of an effective power team. They can help you out when the challenges mount up, and see you through most setbacks.  BEST MOMENTS 'It was challenging, but we stuck to it' 'Have a good team!'

If you have a clear vision of what is possible, and look for the point you want to reach, then it'll help you when the challenges grow in front of you. It's okay to feel overwhelmed at the beginning, but if you stick to your chosen strategy and keep moving forward, you will find success. Always make sure that everyone you know is aware of what you do and how you can help them.

This week, Caroline and James discuss the recent budget announcements and how they might impact the property market, and your investing journey going forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS Economical and budgetary decisions taken by the government are out of our control. It's always best to optimise our plans in accordance with what's announced as we cannot control these decisions. In order to encourage people to return to work they are adjusting childcare benefits, but many may ask why they should return to work simply to pay for children to be taken care of while they do so. Old school mentality states that we should work hard throughout life, pay off mortgages and only enjoy life when we're old. There needs to be another way. Pension pots are largely unsustainable due to the fact that people don't save into them until it's far too late. We need to start conserving money sooner in life  BEST MOMENTS 'These are things that are out of our control' 'They always give with one hand and take away with the other' 'They've flip-flopped around with corporation tax quite a lot'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza discuss the best time to begin your investing journey when it comes to property, and if it's sometimes wiser to wait for certain market conditions. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can't ever hope to know when prices will be at the perfect point in time. Ultimately, if you have the right mindset and play for the long results, it doesn't matter when you buy. Property prices will inevitably grow over time, so there is never a long-term place in time that'll be perfect. When looking at a market, always take a glance at the sentiment - the general feeling around lending and property as an investment model.  BEST MOMENTS 'Is there a perfect time be buying property?' 'Never have we taken our foot off the gas' 'If you have the ability to invest in property, it'll be safer now than ten or fifteen years ago'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Many find themselves put off the property investing route for fear that will not be able to raise the money needed to get started, but in this episode, Caroline Claydon explain the ways in which you can get going using other people's money, and where to find it! KEY TAKEAWAYS Being an entrepreneur or an investor is never about having money to play with. It does come into play, but that's further down the road. We're conditioned from a young age to think that we need money before we act, but we need to un-peel this thinking when it comes to business. Take a look at your financial reputation and adjust your strategy accordingly. If lending is required to fulfil it, and you can't get lending, then you need another strategy. There are people out there who have money stored away and who are looking for a better return. You can help these people - you just need to find them.  BEST MOMENTS 'Money is the least important element behind a lot of businesses or investments' 'Look at what you're trying to achieve, along with the strategy you'll use to get there' 'We need to choose that meets your circumstances.

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza review the last few months in property - the challenges they've faced and overcome, and the positivity and opportunity being sought as a result. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing is an adventure every day, and involves not just purchases, but also refurbishment and lots of problem-solving! Just because your plans get to a committee, doesn't necessarily mean that you're out of the woods. A thousand factors can go wrong. There's always a slight risk when you find a good deal. Someone involved could swoop in and take it from under your nose. This has happened and will continue to happen.  BEST MOMENTS 'So much has happened in such a short period of time' 'As property investors, we know that things rarely go to plan' 'I can talk about it.

In this episode, Mark Winship talks about the best ways to find and engage a property education coach - the things you should look for, and the questions you should always be asking!

Mark Winship talks to Emily Smith about the popular 'flip' strategy - buying a property, improving it, and selling on for a profit. The team also cover the keys to a successful flip, and whether they work in any market cycle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Often it takes a broader perspective in order to recognise the best way of generating value from a property. Flips can often be the best way to maximise returns. The cash generated from flips are a fantastic resource to support the other strategies you may be using as an investor. If you are planning to self-manage, you need to be clear about the roles your team will be expected to oversee and perform. Staging is an aspect that many forget about when flipping. properties are far easier to sell if the buyer can visualise.  BEST MOMENTS 'I like to keep it very clear cut' 'Get the deal done, pay them back and move on to the next deal' 'That cash strategy gives you options'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

This week, Caroline Claydon talks about the importance of self-care, why we should recognise ourselves as our most important asset, and why a regular injection of positivity and encouragement is vital in optimising our success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many investors forget that property is only a tool that generates income. We are, in fact, the most important component in our business and we need to take care of ourselves. Always be kind to yourself, and look after yourself. See yourself as a tool that needs care and replenishment from time to time. External factors can make us feel as though we're suffocating. Stepping away and looking down upon ourselves from a new perspective can reassure us that things aren't necessarily as bad as they seem.  BEST MOMENTS 'We are the biggest income generating asset in our business' 'You are really vital to your business's success' 'With chaos comes opportunities'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon and Ryan Rogers, to discuss investing in Scotland - from the many attractive opportunities that can be had north of the border, as well as the key differences you need to be aware of when it comes to maximising your profits and investment potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a dramatic rise in uniformity between properties in Scotland, but there is also a marked demand for social housing. Investing in flats and apartments can mean solid rental returns. Gazumping is allowed in Scotland, but it is greatly frowned upon and can have a huge impact upon your reputation. Exchanging contracts and completing is not done in Scotland - instead missives are signed. This becomes a legally biding contract from which neither party can extract themselves. The entire process of doing the deal is far more streamlined and takes weeks rather than the months we are used to in England.  BEST MOMENTS 'There's a very strong demand for social housing in Scotland' 'You can literally buy property in Scotland while sitting on a beach on the other side of the world' 'You can put in verbal offers without a solicitor' 'Just get that process started. Once the offer's accepted, then go and chat to your solicitor'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Mark Winship is joined by Asaad Tariq to discuss the pros and cons in investing in industrial warehouse and storage space strategy - a strategy that is extraordinarily niche, but which if handled correctly can prove incredibly successful. KEY TAKEAWAYS The industrial market is one of the most bulletproof around, and is affected way less than residential in many cases. This alone makes it a powerful strategy. With the rise of eCommerce and the shift in the way we shop for goods, there has been an exponential increase in demand for storage space and warehousing facilities. The biggest factor in commercial is that it doesn't matter if you're new, a serious investor, or an angel investor - if your money is put into industrial or commercial, you always need to make sure your debt-to-charge ratio is over 25%.  BEST MOMENTS 'They need warehousing. Their sellers need warehousing. We're there to supply that' 'We're basically piggybacking off these big boys!'

Mark Winship is joined once more by Jerry Alexander, to discuss the complex issue of risk management - how it can manifest itself in property, and how the ways we manage it can play a huge role in how we choose to invest. KEY TAKEAWAYS Too many people look at risk too simplistically. It is a complex issue and needs a broad perspective. We need to step back and see how the multifaceted aspects of risk can trickle down to other areas. When we take a risk, sometimes it opens up new pathways in which risk may enter, such as insurance or liability. We need to be constantly aware. It's worth taking time to work out contingency plans, so that we may embark upon differing forms of strategy and tactics. Risk management is not about ignoring risks. it's about recognising and analysing the risks and then taking steps to mitigate.  BEST MOMENTS 'What are the consequences of NOT doing something?' 'If that eventuality then this is my mitigating step' 'How much is it influenced by the person and not the situation?' 'Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's what you do in response to fear'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Mark Winship is joined by James D'Souza to talk about the most common reasons or blocks that prevent people from making progress towards their property goals. We've also got a special announcement regarding our 100th episode, which will be airing on the 7th November - stay tuned for your chance to win two free tickets to the Property Wealth System 3 Day Intensive Property Training Programme - a prize worth £2000! KEY TAKEAWAYS Some people like the idea of property, but when they try it, or learn more, they decide that it isn't for them. If this is you, then don't feel bad. This is absolutely fine! Education should be viewed as an ongoing thing. There's always more you can learn. Don't assume that you can know everything in no time at all. People think that having no money up front is a stumbling block. But there are many strategies that require no money down, and there are creative ways of attracting investors.  BEST MOMENTS 'For some people, property just is not for them' 'It's a combination of lack of money and lack of self-belief that stops people' 'Sometimes it's knowledge born out of lack of knowledge' 'There's never a wrong time to buy property so long as you're doing it in the right way'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem    To enter the competition, make sure you follow or subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, LIKE the Property Wealth System page on Facebook (SEE LINK BELOW), and then TAG 3 friends on the competition post you'll find there!

Mark Winship and Caroline Claydon discuss the art of outsourcing, including which tasks should be outsourced in life and business, how to recruit and train a great virtual assistant, and how to buy back time in your life by changing your mindset towards routine tasks. KEY TAKEAWAYS No one is naturally comfortable with outsourcing at the beginning. As human beings, we are a little untrusting that anyone else can do as good a job as we can. Learning to outsource efficiently is the best way of buying back your time, so that you can spend it working on high value tasks, and the important things in life. Surround yourself with like-minded people, and take your cues from the way they manage time. More often than not, they will devote themselves to the vital things, and outsource the mundane tasks. A virtual assistant will only be as good as the training we provide, so training them in something that we know well is a great starting point.  BEST MOMENTS 'It's easy to fall into the trap of working in your business when you should be working on your business' 'None of us got into the property adventure in order to create an extra full time, stressful job for ourselves' 'It's easy to get sucked into speaking to utility companies, or sorting out the council tax' ‘There are so many useful people out there, who are desperate to take on things we can do'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem  ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.

Mark Winship is joined by Andrea Carrington and James Horgan, to talk about your own home and the important role that it can play in helping you to achieve your property investment goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Making sure that you stay abreast of the many strategies at hand in property, is crucial to utilising the right method at the right time. Using bridging loans can often be quite expensive. Freeing up equity in your own home means a far cheaper way of raising the finance you need to complete a deal. Your own home is an investment. You are consuming your own home. It's always worth using this investment asset in order to make your money work as hard as possible for you.  BEST MOMENTS 'Education is the key' 'I have no qualms about using the equity in my house' 'Your own home can be more of a liability than an asset. It costs you money'  VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591        Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem  ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
