Mark Homer reflects on his 20-year journey to becoming a multi-million-pound property CEO. Hear how he started with naive investments abroad, learned difficult lessons, and shifted his strategy to focus on local houses with strong cashflows. Mark explains his role as a "conductor" in assembling teams for each project, shares current real estate trends, and advises aspiring investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on cash flow over capital growth for stable returns and safety during market downturns Assemble specialists for each project rather than maintaining large in-house teams Leverage permitted development rights to convert low-value buildings into prime real estate Retail properties are undervalued currently due to the rise of e-commerce Large-scale PRS apartment blocks are an emerging institutional investment class Keep debt below 50% of asset values over the long term for sustainable growth BEST MOMENTS   "So lots of investors are having to offload because of section 24." “I watched them make loads of money in a very short space of time. At the time, I had a friend who maybe bought something like 97, and within two or three years he'd made about 60 grand's worth of equity." "I made a very, very poor investment. So I learned very, very quickly not to trust those who have a vested interest in selling me the property and to go out and do genuinely independent research to find out what something will actually rent for." "When I started in this sector, I was very much focused on capital growth. Capital growth is sexier to a lot of people. That's probably, in reality, truthfully, where you make most of your money over the long run." "I also noticed on a much bigger scale that the wealthiest people in the country seemed to have made or had seemed to have invested their money into property. If you have a look down the rich list, the Sunday Times rich list that comes out every year, a lot of those were making their money from property."

Mark Homer shares the inside story of his largest and most complex commercial conversion project to date - transforming an 80,000 sq ft former Marks & Spencer department store into 99 residential units. He reveals the highs and lows behind acquiring the property, handling the intricate planning permission, dealing with the main contractor going bust halfway through construction, and stepping up to build it himself.KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark acquired the M&S property once he confirmed a national retailer was interested in the ground floor space. This substantially reduced his risk and unlocked the opportunity. After his initial main contractor went bust, Mark set up his own building firm and hired the existing site manager and subcontractors. This saved significant cost and gave him greater control. Strong health and safety processes including regular independent audits were critical for managing risks during construction. This documentation also proved invaluable when scrutiny arose. Gradually gaining experience across different commercial conversion projects enabled Mark to handle a development of this scale. It's not advisable to dive into a huge site as your first project. Doing the project himself rather than using a main contractor saved around 20% of costs (£2 million) and eliminated variations which can be painfully expensive. The building qualified for a government-backed bond which provided exceptionally low long-term finance to hold the flats. This rewarded his ambition and enabled him to retain ownership. Mark always seeks creative angles to de-risk acquisitions and reduce base cost. This might involve creating optionality around alternative uses, or leveraging tenant demand BEST MOMENTS   "Just graduate your way into it. I don't subscribe to this view of oh, it doesn't matter how big it is you can just dive straight in from day one on a massive project because you know you'll make a lot of mistakes and they'll be magnified on a big site" "By doing it myself, I think we saved at least £2 million So, that was worth that. It's about 20%? Yeah, probably. A little bit more? Yeah. That's interesting." "You really need to buy the whole building to make anything work" VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

I talk once more to Mark Homer about the current economic situation and its impact on the property market. We discuss the unpredictability of the market and the uncertainty surrounding interest rates. Mark shares his thoughts on the potential fall in residential values due to affordability issues and the increasing number of people coming off fixed-rate mortgages. We also touch on the effects of the pandemic on different sectors, such as retail and industrial properties.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Residential values are expected to fall further due to affordability issues and more people coming off fixed rates. The current economic situation is uncertain, and even the Bank of England doesn't know what will happen in the short term. Interest rates have increased significantly, leading to higher mortgage payments for homeowners and higher car finance rates. The commercial property market has seen a drop in values, particularly in the industrial sector, while retail has been hit harder. Investors should be actively looking for opportunities, as residential prices are likely to continue falling, and next year may offer the best deals in years. BEST MOMENTS "I suspect residential values will fall some more because affordability, whilst it's stretched, probably is going to get more stretched because more people are going to come off the fixed rates."  "We should probably have been in recession by now, but obviously that's not happened. It's just another example of how hard it is to predict this stuff." "I don't think the Bank of England know what's about to happen. So how any of the rest of us are supposed to know, I have no idea."  "I think next year will be the cheapest time to buy, you know, for many, many years. I think next year, the deals you'll do next year will be, I imagine, the best deal."  "There's always deals out there, even in a really frothy market. It's just how hard you look, how many people you talk to, how many agents you've got on the go."  VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/  Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

Explore the world of property investment in this episode featuring Mark Homer, a seasoned property millionaire. Mark shares his unique experience of owning 20 investment properties while residing with his mother, highlighting the financial benefits of this unconventional living arrangement. Delve into the debate between renting and buying a home in the UK as Homer dismisses renting in favour of homeownership. The discussion extends to recent tax changes, including Section 24 and increased stamp duty, impacting the property market. Mark contends that these changes contribute to a shortage of rental properties and increased rents. Gain insights into the current property market dynamics, including falling prices due to higher interest rates, making it an opportune time for potential property buyers   Rob Reveals The Government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it had on businesses Tax changes have made the cost of living more expensive for tenants and homeowners. The increase in rental prices due to landlords leaving the market. It is better to invest money in properties rather than buying your own home Why the idea of renting your own home instead of buying it is better BEST MOMENTS "There's a severe lack of rental property because the planning system is broken and because of Section 24 and because they've put the stamp duty up to higher rates of 3% on top." "Clearly, interest rates going up, yes, but a huge amount of it is landlords leaving because of all this stuff, less rental property." "Rents are just going absolutely nuts off the back of this." "If you're only going to stay in a year or two, it's definitely better to rent." "You just need to sort of adapt, don't you, to adapt your business, you know, an issue comes along, you just set the sail of your sailing boat to take advantage of the new direction of the wind."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

I'm joined by property investor Mark Homer, who discusses a fascinating commercial property project in Peterborough. The project involved the redevelopment of an 80,000 square foot department store that had been vacant since Marks and Spencer's moved out in 2015. Mark shares the challenges he faced in acquiring the property and navigating the planning process. He also reveals how the original main contractor went into administration, forcing him to create his own building company to complete the project.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark had to overcome challenges with financing and finding the right team to complete the project successfully. Mark emphasises the importance of understanding permitted development rights and leveraging them to maximise the value of the property. The initial investment strategy had to be adapted based on the local market and available opportunities. There were many setbacks that Mark had to face, such as the main contractor going into administration, but he was able to pivot and build the project himself with his own team. Mark highlights the importance of managing health and safety regulations and having a dedicated team to ensure compliance throughout the construction process. BEST MOMENTS "What sort of really got me into it was I saw these permitted development rights and the vendors, well, they didn't get that."  "I thought, maybe this is the thing to do. I said, yeah, that's where I was getting to. So that's what I did." "I've got a health and safety consultant every two weeks on site for a report. Every single thing on there that's amber or red, I'd want it all."  "I've had main contractors lying to me for years about all sorts of stuff and creating stress. Because they're that middle party. Everything then becomes more opaque."  "So we went to the first one's house, and his wife was there. I had his address from somewhere. I think I did a bit. I stayed at 192, you know, company's house, whole lot, got his home address, went round."  VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/  Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

Mark Homer interviews Adrian from Prefect Controls about their intelligent heating control system for HMOs and student accommodation. Adrian explains how Prefect's room-by-room controls help property managers like Mark reduce energy waste from tenants who crank the heat up and open windows! With energy prices skyrocketing, he expects Prefect will reduce his bills 20-30%. Tune in to hear how Mark and Adrian implemented Prefect across Mark's properties and the tenant experience so far. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prefect is designed for rooms, unlike smart home systems made for houses. Central control and data is key. Tenants cranking heat and opening windows wastes energy. Prefect stops this. Prefect monitors temperature, occupancy, noise and more in each room. Data helps identify issues like banned space heaters quickly. With remote access, managers don't need to enter rooms to check occupancy. The payback period depends on energy savings, but Mark expects 20-30% lower bills. BEST MOMENTS "The thermostat gets put right up to maximum, which might be 30 degrees, and then the temperature is often regulated by opening the window." "We can see if the range goes much higher. We've got tenants where the rooms are going to 28, 29. In fact, we found one where he was consistently 37 degrees." "You know, we, we set the parameters or you guys set the parameters according to your sort of normal temperature range." "I was expecting, um, a saving on our energy bills of maybe 20 to 30 per cent."

Mark Homer joins Nigel to talk about one of the ways he sees us dealing with the housing crisis, redevelopment of retail and other commercial units into residential use. They discuss the barriers to general development and the new legislation coming into place soon. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The government hasn't been getting anywhere near its target for building houses, largely down to local planning and democracy. Over the years it's become more difficult to convert commercial property into residential but there is some new regulation being discussed that could change this. You don't get the same objections and difficulties when trying to develop housing in a city centre -vs.- rural communities. BEST MOMENTS   ‘Everywhere the government turns it finds it more and more difficult to meet these housing targets' ‘I was the first person in Peterborough to take an office building and turn it into apartments' ‘It makes sense to live in city centres now and if we do a new kind of shopping with emerge' ‘So many builders are saying that the current green targets, are making it harder and harder' VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Mark Homer talk about what's happening in the news right now in regards to residential property investment and gives an update on what we are seeing in the marketplace too. KEY TAKEAWAYS  House prices have dropped 3-4% across the country. We aren't seeing a big increase in repossessions as some might have expected. There are 110k people coming off fixed-rate mortgages a month right now Lenders have had pressure put on them by the government to switch people to interest-only mortgages to help with affordability. There are a lot of new permitted development rights going through consultation right now which could be transformative for anyone looking to convert buildings into residential use. Betting offices, and payday loans will be within the permitted benefit scheme under new changes for redevelopment. There is a collaboration between the government and a property steering committee to get property digitalised, creating less friction, speed and transforming the industry. BEST MOMENTS   “You can imagine these interest rate rises are going to bite and decrease their spending elsewhere” “This is quite different to what we saw in the late 80s and because of that repossessions are still very, very low” “House prices have probably dropped 10-15% in many areas” “ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Mark Homer goes joins GB news to answer the question, is Britain full? Mark shares his own experiences of the property market and volume in his current city of Peterborough and also how he sees the current crisis ending. KEY TAKEAWAYS  We simply aren't meeting the house-building target needed to match migration. With planning regulations as they are this won't be changing any time soon. The housing crisis will continue to get worse until the breaking point where the government will have to relax planning regulations, build more social housing and reduce taxation for housing landlords. BEST MOMENTS   ‘Are we building enough to accommodate the people we are allowing in?' ‘It's going to keep on getting worse until there are some major changes made to the planning systems' VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Mark Homer joins Rob on the podcast to give a great Q&A on everything from dealing with negative people to the perfect first investment and even talks about the capacity of the brain and his book recommendations for every entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is one of Marks's top book recommendations for any entrepreneur or business person. When you start to focus on your business and entrepreneurial journey you may find that you lose friends, but this is part of life and bettering yourself. You can sometimes see people as negative, but they are actually just trying to give you advice, it's important to learn the difference. Rob and Mark managed to successfully navigate lockdown and in a space where a lot of businesses went under they are very proud of doing this, including how quickly they had to pivot to being online. AI will be changing many businesses already, if we can focus on the upside and embrace it then we can use it to build success. Rob believes in trying to get into things early, you don't want to be one of the first but you want to be early enough to be able to leverage new technology and trends early on Decentralise your money, take some out of the bank and invest it in other areas, such as gold, cars etc and de-risk yourself.

It's a take-over this week as Toni and Emerald give their opinions on the past month's property headlines including whether now is the right time to invest. They also give tips and solutions to some of the difficulties property investors may be facing right now. KEY TAKEAWAYS  House prices are falling, but only by small amounts in most places. Many property headlines are currently sensationalising to the max! A lot of them can be mostly ignored. For every downside, there is an upside. Now could be a good time to buy for many people including first-time buyers. Ensure that the information that you are engaging with is from people who know what they talk about, people and experts with experience and knowledge in property investing. There are key differences between landlords and property investors. If you're buying long term, it's unlikely you will regret what you pay for a house. Property investing is for the long game. A joint venture is one way to decrease your own personal risk in the current market. Toni and Emerald would recommend downloading Mark Homer's e-book, 42 tips. The price an estate agent gives is not a sold price, always bear this in mind when looking at the changes in prices. The news is never where you should base your decisions on, the information they give is to sell news not to help you in business.

Is it a scam? Can this happen?“‘-George ‘There's a trick my wife taught me. Consider this in a years time. Are you going to even remember this day? It's probably insignificant so why spend today stressing over it?'-George ‘I left Africa to be with my family yet sometimes I find myself working on a deal when I can hear my kids playing next door and I think, really, I should be with them.'-George ‘I can tell you that they are very fortunate to have a Dad that has this kind of love, this bountiful, limitless love.'-Dr Irene ‘I just want to become a complete expert in the field that I'm in.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more   FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode, Mark explains how to protect yourself and the importance of due diligence when engaging in joint venturing, borrowing, and lending money. Mark talks about the checks you can do to ensure you don't make any mistakes when choosing someone to work with as well as red flags to look out for and how to identify them. He also talks about how to check for credibility in people, businesses and investments and other ways you can invest money in a careful and considered way. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You need to know someone for at least 6 months before choosing to invest with them. Ask for someone's credit file to get a good picture of whether what they are saying is true. Ask specific questions about their current investments and their portfolio. You can ask an individual to apply for basic disclosure to show any unspent convictions however this won't show you many things that are historical. Ask for past people they have done deals with, you can cross-reference these with the land registry to ensure they are legitimate. A good brand and social media profile isn't a good enough reason to trust someone. You must do legitimate checks on anyone you work with. It's essential you find a solicitor that is your own and they check any agreements instructed by you before signing any deals. You should carry out the same due diligence on anybody, no matter who they are and what appearance they give out.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘"I call them toilet paper in a way because I've got a personal guarantee only." “Try and work out if they are the sort of person you can trust, telling the truth and whether you like them” “I would only lend on a first charge basis and I'd only lend on a 70% loan to value” “Just because someone looks like they're doing something, doesn't mean you should be doing any less due diligence” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Bitcoin is probably the most stable coin from an investment perspective, anything else is a real gamble. Mark would still recommend you don't put anymore of 5% into Bitcoin as it's still very high risk. Most of those in cryptocurrency are then converting it into something ‘real' such as fiat currency. Now is the time to buy property, prices are falling and will continue to fall and then increase again. Mark only buys properties with a 10 year view, he doesn't flip properties. He also focuses on unloved properties as this is where he can add the most value.

Kev is joined by “The brains behind Progressive Property” Mark Homer to talk about how he built his multi-million property empire, his thoughts on the property market right now, as well as how to find investors and venture partners. He also delves deep into the importance of risk in business and how you can manage it. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The biggest risk mark has had to contend with is his most recent property development when lockdown hit right in the middle of the project and he was paying 60k a month in interest. But the risks taken have paid off. Lots of people use the asking price as a guide price in property, but it can be irrelevant in the grand scheme, a property will sell for what someone is willing to pay for it. There's still leverage to be had in single-let properties, you just need to focus closely now more than ever, on the yield. Direct to the vendor can be a great way to get a discount on your purchase price but working with agents and fostering those relationships can help you get more and bigger deals too. You have to educate yourself so that you know how to recognise a good property deal anywhere, regardless of whether that is from an agent, direct or even at auction. Build credibility for yourself and show the value you can bring to a deal, creating your own track record, this will make you appealing to investors. Debt can be powerful. It's important to not over leverage but you can actually make more money from inflation by reducing the value of the mortgage than actual growth in real terms. A good accountant can add a lot of value, you don't know what you don't know and they can reduce your tax bills significantly. BEST MOMENTS   ‘If I've got a property question, if I've got a business question, Mark Homer is the person I'm going to go to” “You always want to add value, it's so important” “The best deals we have ever done have been direct vendor” “We all start the same way” “You can make more money out of inflation, reducing the value of the mortgage than you can growth in real terms” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Join Mark in this episode where he unveils his personal predictions for the property market in 2023 including why property prices are set to drop 30-40%! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Inflation is now 10% and mortgage rates have gone up considerably resulting in property prices dropping around 10-15% already. The reverse is happening in the rental market as fewer people are buying and supply is too low. Mark doesn't believe the bank of England will go to 5% inflation however, we won't be seeing the historically low rates we have had over the past decade. Wages are now starting to increase in line with inflation. Properties will continue to fall in 2023, potentially in real terms a 40% drop in house prices. The big national builders are already building less. There will be fewer houses built in 2023. BEST MOMENTS   “Clearly it's not been an easy ride for lots of businesses” “We're on course for a 30-40% drop in real house prices” “They printed too much money” “The national house builders are cutting back” VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

As it's the end of the year, Mark wanted to do a roundup Q&A of some of his most popular YouTube videos of the year. He answers questions surrounding investing, Brexit, his opinion on Nigel Farage, and more! KEY TAKEAWAYS  The EPC policy will over time have an impact on rental prices. Ideally landlords shouldn't increase rents by more than 5% but this isn't always possible, as long as you aren't increasing them above the market rate then you don't need to worry. Nigel Farage can definitely stir the pot on occasion but he also has a lot of valuable knowledge and experience. Mark didn't agree with Brexit, he believes it's been a disaster. Buy-to-let is still a great way to invest. In the medium to long term the purchases you make as a buy to let landlord will fair better than what you bought in 2021 for example. BEST MOMENTS   “Government have screwed tenants, yes this is exactly what they have done” “How can it be a great idea to shut down or impede your trading relationship with your closest trade partners” “Immigration is now higher than it was when we were in the EU” “Predictions when it comes to economics…are usually wrong!” VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Power bills are set to soar, so now is a good time to install solar. You need a mixture of cash, equity, and property to insulate yourself during tough economic times. Exercise, having a clean bedtime routine and being self-aware all help you to sleep well. Working with a business partner who is different from you brings benefits. Mark explains how to maximise them. As interest rates rise, demand and growth will fall. Financial unrest always results in opportunities. With a property business, it is important to focus on cash flow. If you can't pay your mortgage you are going to lose your property.   BEST MOMENTS ‘You need to go and see the rest of the world. It provides you with tools to use for business and relationships. ´ ‘If you can navigate the bad times, the good times usually look after themselves.' ‘Focus on making sure that income streams and the yield are really, really strong.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Mark has been an entrepreneur investor since the age of 15, setting up many small businesses through University, and continually saving, re-investing and compounding the money using laws of wealth that he now teaches to 10,000s of people.

Two very different people but with a great friendship, both best-men at each others' weddings, and similar vision for educated property investment for freedom, choice and profit. Since stepping back from training due to schedules, scale and demands on his time Mark has successfully trained many Progressive students to become trainers for Progressive. A large majority are “home grown”, all walking the walk practising what they teach, to help you build Multiple Streams of Property Income.   ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Welcome back to another episode of the Mark My Words podcast with your host Mark Homer. In this episode, Mark goes through his top tips for saving money in your life and business. Mark goes through several areas on how you can save thousands of pounds every year in your life, and business from car insurance, to utilities and saving accounts. Key Takeaways Personal Car Insurance. Make sure that six weeks before your renewal date you search around for cheaper options for insurance. The whole industry is predicated on making a profit from customers who are loyal and don't change provider every year. Looking at the below four comparison sites every year can save you hundreds of pounds in the cost of your car insurance. Money Supermarket Confuse.com Go Compare Compare the Market Fleet Car Insurance. Try and go to a number of different brokers and play them off against each other, every year so that you can save money on your fleet insurance. This is the best way as there are no business compare websites for fleet insurance. Home Insurance. Make sure you go onto a number of comparison websites every year which can ensure that you are saving hundreds of pounds on your policy. Some of the best websites are the below: Money Supermarket Compare the Market Go Compare Keeping your claims down in the last five years to under one can help to keep your premiums down. Brokers are useful in gaining portfolio insurance for a large number of properties. At the end of each year get a quotation for each of your brokers to see if there are cheaper options. Utilities. Make sure that you are changing these every year, which has got a lot easier in recent years. Please do subscribe to the Cheap Energy Club, at the link below, which lets you know when there is a product that is cheaper than what you are already paying. Changing from the standard rate which energy companies automatically place you on, to an offer rate can save you hundreds of pounds. Saving Accounts. Try and change this account every April as this is the start of the personal tax year. I want to make sure that I'm getting the highest savings rate. Please check Moneyfax.co.uk which can offer you the best deals for savings accounts. There are always some good instant access accounts on the list for you to have a look at. There is a new Goldman Accounts called Marcus which has a good interest rate on it, for 12 months. Rates drop down after the first year so it's really important to switch every year. Mobile Phone Contract. Every year you are paying the subscription to a mobile company, so at the end of the contract make sure you get your upgrade on your phone, as you are paying for this through your contract. It's best to use a price comparison site so that you can find the best tariff on the market. Mobiles.co.uk   Buying In Bulk In January. Use the January sales, and buy two years worth of supply for shampoo, toilet roll, kitchen roll, those essential non-perishable items for your house. Then I'd store this under the house, which means you save lots of money and you don't have to go shopping for these items throughout the year. Make sure you're not loyal to a brand but you're looking for the offers out there. Contract Hire On Your Car. Make sure you are going for the offers that are available rather than the brand or model of car. This can be a really effective way of saving money. The below websites are the best websites that Mark has used to get the best deals. If you would like Marks spreadsheet which compares these offers please email him, his details are at the bottom of the show notes. CentralUkVehicleLeasing.co.uk Freedom Contracts.com V4B AppliedLeasing.co.uk Best Moments ‘Make you have BS3642 locks on your doors and key locks on your ground floor windows.' ‘Definitely look at changing your mobile tariff, utilities and car insurance to save hundreds of pounds' ‘Make sure you're not loyal to a brand but you're looking for the offers.

Mark Homer has transformed over 6,000 square feet of commercial properties for residential use. The value of his property portfolio exceeds £37 million. He owns or controls well over one thousand properties and is one of Kevin´s mentors.   In this Q & A session Mark talks about the government's plans to reform serviced accommodation, the impact of council tax increases and what property investing is likely to look like in a recession. He also talks about claiming back VAT, the benefits of LLPs, sideways loss relief and much more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Setting up SA properties now makes a lot of sense. At some point, levels of regulation will increase. When it comes to changes in council tax, often, it is possible to make your property fit into a better category. Mark typically invests in business models that have been working for years and are likely to still work decades from now. In an inflationary period, short leases are typically better. Mark explains why in the podcast. Develop long-term relationships with more than one lender. Buy as much as you can as soon as you can. It is the capital growth that will make you wealthy. Be agile, and constantly learn. Do not let yourself be distracted e.g., worry about why a rule has changed. Instead, focus, find a solution, reset your sail, and move on. Typically, if property prices drop, they do so quite slowly. It can easily take 18 months or more to bottom out.     BEST MOMENTS ‘Just plan for what you can deal with now.' ‘You need to be able to reverse out of the strategy you are in and pivot into something else.'     VALUABLE RESOURCES Discovery Day Sign Up Page - https://progressiveproperty.online/serviced-accommodation-discovery-register/AMB3258 The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-serviced-accommodation-property-podcast/id1436005279?mt=2 https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki     GUEST RESOURCES TBC     ABOUT THE GUEST   ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.

This is an extra special podcast episode with none other than Nigel Farage! Mark feels really akin with Nigel's politics and watches GB news every evening so was very excited to record this episode for you all. Nigel and Mark talk about the start-up and progress of GB news, Covid-19, business and all things politics including his opinion on PM Boris Johnson and why Nigel believes we need a Brexit 2.0! They also discuss Nigel's incredible knack for predicting what is going to happen next in the political landscape and what the public opinion will overwhelmingly be!   To hear more from Nigel & Mark head to Rob.team   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Since GB news was launched, Nigel has already seen the changes it has brought to the broadcasting landscape. Many channels and programming is duplicating the GB formats and introducing more talk shows and opinion pieces. Broadcasters have a big responsibility and if they get things right then they can create enormous ripples that change what happens in our country and in the world. Nigel has been a sensible environmentalist all his life. He doesn't understand what the goal of net-zero emissions is when all we are doing in the UK as a country is exporting our emissions and actually creating more pollution. It creates a whole host of other problems and isn't actually any better for the planet. We have the resources to be self-sufficient for energy but we aren't, he asks why? The ramifications of Covid on society is hard to measure but we also can't ignore the huge impact Covid restrictions have had on the countries mental health, education and children's development. Nigel believes when we look back on this we will see that lockdowns and restrictions actually did more harm than good. Nigel's treatment by other MEPs and in Brussels was very negative. After his 2016 speech it became even worse and he even got refused service in restaurant and cafes. It isn't easy to ignore criticism and not care about everyone's opinion but Nigel got to a point in 2014 where this is what he had to learn to do. Now he doesn't even take an interest in others opinions about him, they are just that, their opinions and not his. Nigel believes there needs to be a Brexit 2.0. he thinks we need to leave the European Call to Human Rights to help with the large scale immigration still happening. The power and control big media and tech companies have now frightens Nigel. He is worried about the cancel culture we are seeing and the restriction on free speech. He can only hope that some of the challengers coming out will help disrupt these industries and allow everyone to have free will and communication, on all topics. The answer to labour and skill shortages isn't immigration. Nigel states that opening the dialogue with young people and a reorientation towards them acquiring skills and trades rather than degrees could be the solution. It's incredibly difficult to run something like an engineering company right now just on English skill sets.

In this special episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Mark breaks down the impact of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine on the UK markets, inflation and house prices.   THE HEADLINES INTEREST RATES: Interest rates aren't going to move that much. Away from their current expected path. The market thinks that a UK based rate goes to about one and a half percent terminal rate of about one and a half, 2% over the next two to three years. LONDON HOUSE PRICES: There is an estimated 1100 Russian owned properties in London, even if all were seized this would not likely have an impact on the overall market. It potentially may in west London where the majority are owned. REGIONAL HOUSE PRICES: Is it going to affect house prices regionally in the provinces, across the rest of the country?  I don't think this is going to have a major effect on UK house prices. STOCKS: Lots of stocks have been hit really hard, particularly brands that export to Russia either goods or services. Overall markets will continue to dip based on the uncertainty of the global situation. More money will go into bonds. FUEL AND ENERGY: Some economists saying fuel could hit £2 per litre, as supplies from Russia are cut off in the immediate future there will continue to be increasing energy and fuel prices, compounded by supply chain issues of the last 2 years.   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty  https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

“Progressives' vision is to help as many people on the planet invest freedom, choice and profit. We'll keep doing that as long as we can and not quit”   Join the co-founders of Progressive Property, Rob Moore and Mark Homer as they celebrate the 15 year anniversary of Progressive! Rob and Mark have made hundreds of deals, navigated through recessions, highs and many lows, constantly having to innovate and change to remain relevant and prosperous. They also talk about their favourite moments, who and what inspires them and what the next steps for themselves and Progressive will be.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Like many businesses, Rob, Mark and the various Progressive companies, have had to adapt and pivot to manage through covid. Their ability to adapt, willingness to evolve and foresight has allowed them to not just survive during the pandemic, but thrive.

The renting landscape is changing. There is more and more demand for residential properties and the standard is also shifting. Such as included amenities and the high quality finish that is being created and found in rental properties. Neither Rob or Mark envisioned the place they are at today. They could easily retire off their property portfolio alone, excluding the income they receive from their other businesses. The journey to becoming the biggest training company was exciting but the challenge has been staying there. People are constantly trying to steal Progressives ideas, trainers and everything else!

They cost Progressive the most and they also impact them the most with many regulations and changes they make. Key to overcoming these challenges is the fact Rob and Mark have kept Progressive Nimble, with good cashflow and surrounded themselves with the right professionals to navigate any changes that impact Progressive. Life is for living, we all only get one life. It's important to always remember that. This is one of the things that drives Rob through life and BEST MOMENTS “You do get passive income but you also get active problems” “All these changes have been sped up over the past couple of years” “I learned a lot from Mark in those early years to catch up…once I started to believe in myself I started to think we could do everything” “It's got to be about our customers and our tenants, and our investors and our community” “It was always property first, before training and course…you can't teach what you don't know” “One of the biggest lessons for me is to stay nimble, keep plenty of cash” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressivepropertyhttps://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Are you missing out on new clients because you're stuck in an old way of thinking about your marketing? Mark Homer, CEO of GNGF (Get Noticed Get Found), is here to share his top five marketing strategies for 2022 and beyond. Mark's full-service marketing agency strives to put the law firm back in law firm marketing. Mark believes that most law firm business owners are almost accidental entrepreneurs. They started their firm to practice law and then realized at some point along the way they were running a business, which requires finance, operations, HR, and marketing. Even if you're not spending a dime on marketing, you should track and measure where your leads originate. Are they coming from Google? Are they coming from referral partners? Do you have a clearly defined intake process? Measuring and tracking leads falls apart when you don't have a clearly defined intake process. Creating and defining your intake process is a better use of your time and resources in the short term than throwing more money at marketing and leads. We spend a good deal of time talking about the impact of Google on your law firm marketing. Mark shares tips for getting the most out of your Google Business Profile and why you should be treating Google like a valued referral partner. Learn what steps, tools, and processes you should have in place before you spend your first dollar on marketing. What You Will Learn How intake fits into your marketing strategy Simple practices to dominate your firm name online How to get the most out of your digital marketing How to make Google your best referral partner What you need to know about your Google Business Profile Links and Resources Mark's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/markhomer GNGF's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/GNGFound Mark's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhomer/ GNGF's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/gngf Your Law Firm is a Business Take it to the Next Level podcast https://nextlevel.legal/ Mark's book - Online Law Practice Strategies https://www.amazon.com/Online-Law-Practice-Strategies-Clients-ebook/dp/B076J6S3J9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=T5LC587AJ3P8&keywords=online+law+practice+strategies&qid=1643203615&s=books&sprefix=online+law+prac%2Cstripbooks%2C92&sr=1-3 Connect with Molly Hiring & Empowering Solutions on Facebook www.hiringandempowering.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-hall

Listen in to this episode to hear Mark Homer talk about his predications for 2022, where the market is going, what he thinks may happen and the impact this will have on business owners and property investors   KEY TAKEAWAYS Smaller units and apartments have been selling slower in 2021 –vs- houses, especially in London. The North and satellite cities such as Peterborough have benefitted from this and have been ‘catching up' with London. There have been a lot of discussions around inflation. Mark doesn't believe there is going to be some massive spike of inflation into the double digits, he just doesn't think this is likely to happen, most of what we is seeing is just a short term side effect of restrictions and lockdowns on supplies. Mark thinks that capital growth in 2022 will be higher on smaller units and apartments in cities than it will be on houses in rural areas, mostly due to the success the latter has found in 2021, everywhere else will be playing catch-up. Cryptocurrency has had another successful and strong year in 2021. Many people have used it as a speculative investment strategy as well as a way to store money. 2022 is likely to be a more turbulent year and many of the smaller cryptocurrencies will probably fail. Look for yield in 2022. Only invest in assets that are solid, will yield well and that you fully understand. BEST MOMENTS “I don't need to tell you in 2021 house prices went up a lot” “My educated guess is that the equilibrium rate probably hasn't changed that much” “Once you become the best, you beat the rest of the market and you end up making solid returns” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressivepropertyhttps://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/   ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

This week, Ellie is on a mission with Progressive Property co-founder, property investor, entrepreneur, self-professed data geek, and host of the incredible Mark My Words podcast, Mark Homer. Mark joins Ellie to discuss his formula for success, how he built one of the most impressive property portfolios in the UK, why time is the most important resource we have, how to create a successful partnership, and the importance of financial education when it comes to business success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial common sense was bred into Mark from the very beginning, and the lesson was swiftly learned about the value of money and why it is important never to waste resources. Time is the most valuable thing we have. If we must spend money in order to save ourselves time, then so be it. We can always make more money, but time is a finite resource and must be conserved. Opposing skill-sets are vital when it comes to partnerships. We serve the business best when we are performing the tasks we're good at. Partnerships don't work if both partners are doing the same thing. The great business figures are the ones who can adapt in an agile way to changing circumstances. Mark's ability to pivot and shift to different business models helped him to survive and thrive during the pandemic, and as a result he has emerged stronger. BEST MOMENTS 'Time is your most valuable commodity' 'Economics is a core skill' 'Don't wish it was easier - wish you were better' 'You know what's going to happen, you just don't know exactly when' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission ABOUT THE GUEST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

How can you create cash flow and grow your wealth through acquiring businesses and commercial real estate? In this first episode of The Art of Acquisitions, Dan interviews Co-Founder and Owner of Progressive Property, Mark Homer. Mark talks about his journey into the property world including wins, failures and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark started toying with the idea of acquisitions in 2003. Then in 2005 he began buying small terraced houses in his local area, he then met Rob Moore and they built the foundations for Progressive property from there. Mark noticed that during the credit crunch commercial property was becoming very cheap. He then began buying and converting them into residential accommodation. There are so many wheels turning, so many things that can easily change when you are developing property that's it's absolutely vital that you have JCT for protection. From 2011 Mark was steadily buying up more and more offices and pubs as well as retail spaces. The biggest project he has bought more recently is the old Marks and Spencer's retail space in the heart of Peterborough city centre. Many people would look at it as too much of a challenge but Mark had a lot of experience by this point, he knew there were risks involved but did all his due diligence and went for it. After an issue with his first building contractor going into administration on the M&S project Mark decided he had enough experience to source people to do all of the work they needed himself. He contacted all the people that had previously been working on the project to ask if they would work with him directly. He managed to get many of them to agree so inadvertently created his own construction company! Then the pandemic hit, but as Mark has demonstrated time and time again he found a way forward, his team didn't down tools at all they just found ways to get things done in a safe way. Mark knows how to react and adapt to anything that is thrown his way. Relationships are the key to success. If Mark didn't build the relationships in the way he does he wouldn't have been able to overcome so many hurdles throughout his acquisition journey. Getting the right quality surveyor is worth their weight in gold. They will ensure you are not being taken advantage of by the works being done and save you so much money. BEST MOMENTS  “I've been stung!”   “It was the biggest structure the steel contractor had done”   “The whole thing blew up, you immediately took action went to their doors and then started your own construction company”   “It was so easy for me to say we're not doing this and pull out, but I didn't”   “Surround yourself with superstars in their specific niche”   “I don't like regrets, I see them all as times to learn”     ABOUT THE GUEST Mark Homer Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003. He is a system and spreadsheet geek and has developed a complex, confidential deal analyser system of buying residential, commercial and multi-let properties.

Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS The model of buy, refurbishment and rent was the strategy that really worked for me. It's all about the leverage you can get. I have a successful strategy but am always interested to learn about something different I like to find someone who is doing something successfully then model on that. Property is opportunity led we may now see more commercial coming to market. Big changes will also bring big opportunities. There are lots of layers in the COVID situation and there can only be a broad overview of how to move forward because no one has all the facts. Coming out of this will be in part guided by the media and how long they continue with a negative message. There is money available for borrowing It's all about confidence We have carried on working on our construction projects throughout this pandemic but have had plenty of challenges around supplies. Lots of self-employed people continued to work because they had to otherwise they had no income at all. There is nothing legally to stop you from opening your office. It's about finding your way around the issues.   BEST MOMENTS ‘With construction, the challenges came with getting materials as suppliers closed' ‘There are lots of variables and we don't know what they are at the moment' ‘Have a successful strategy but always be interested to learn'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Progressive Property website Mark Homer LinkedIn Warren Buffet Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting Bank of England Monetary Policy Report Youtube   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
