Podcasts about professional property investor

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews previous host Kevin McDonnell. Kevin shares his journey from a farm in rural Ireland to becoming a multi-millionaire property investor. He reveals his painful mistakes buying off-plan properties abroad that left him £100,000+ in debt and how he transformed his life through property strategies like rent-2-rent. If you haven’t heard Kev’s story already, this episode will leave you inspired and informed. If you’d like to learn more from Kevin, he has written multiple books on property investing, including No Money Down Property Investing and Multiple Streams of Property Income. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin began with zero property knowledge, making mistakes by investing in off-plan properties in Europe that put him over £100,000 in debt, this is why proper education before investing is crucial. After hitting rock bottom at age 35, living in a shared house and in debt, Kevin discovered rent-2-rent and deal packaging strategies that allowed him to become debt-free without needing significant capital. By moving into his first rent-to-rent property and subletting the other rooms, Kevin eliminated his own housing costs while simultaneously generating income to service his debt. Kevin emphasises that mindset and environment are critical success factors; surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people creates opportunities that reading books alone cannot provide. From his initial failures, Kevin built an 18+ million pound portfolio with over 100 properties, 18 businesses, and several bestselling books, demonstrating the power of consistent action. Kevin's success formula is to believe in yourself and take the first step, surround yourself with like-minded people who share your vision and take massive action without fear of rejection. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that property was the thing that put me in debt. But actually, the only thing that could get me outta debt was property." "Most people don't wanna change. They're full-time in a job, and they're building their boss's dream. But if you put as much effort into yourself as you do into building your boss's dream, you'd become successful." "If you've read my book three times and it's not made you a millionaire, reading it a fourth time's not gonna make any difference. But maybe working with the guy who wrote it would." "I'm not trying to buy a hundred houses. I never did. I just wanted to buy one. I now own over a hundred, but I only ever started to buy one."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin discuss Reform UK party's housing policies as the UK approaches local elections. They challenge you to question your political allegiances and examine how Reform's proposed housing policies could impact the property market. Kevin talks about brownfield development, landlord incentives and the controversial Section 24 tax, while encouraging listeners to think independently rather than following family or media-influenced voting patterns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reform UK proposes accelerating housing projects on brownfield sites, particularly in coastal regions, with a loose fit planning policy to simplify large residential developments Giving landlords grants or interest-free loans to renovate empty properties could quickly address housing shortages, bringing hundreds of thousands of empty properties back into use more efficiently than new construction. Reform UK proposes prioritising local residents and those contributing to the system for social housing. Reform's proposed repeal of Section 24 tax (which removed mortgage interest relief for landlords) could potentially reduce rental costs by bringing more landlords back to the market, increasing available housing stock. Current landlord regulations are paradoxically driving up rents and forcing stricter tenant criteria, as landlords need more protection and higher margins to compensate for increased risks and costs. BEST MOMENTS "I don't vote for anybody, so don't say, 'oh, here's a thing for Reform.' I'm not a fan of anybody. I'm just somebody who believes that the country's needs change. It needs reform." "The reason that rents are high is because there's a shortage of properties. The reason there's a shortage of properties is because landlords are leaving the market... Not everybody wants to buy. People at university don't want to buy. They want to rent." "Question how you look at things. Don't be triggered. Be more focused. Don't be triggered. Be more analytical. Don't be triggered. Be more open-minded." "We have lunatics running the asylum. They've never run a business... How can they run the biggest business that there's ever been? The country... We've got people in there that I wouldn't hire in my business, and it's a small business."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Kevin switches roles as he's interviewed by Miha "MJ" Jain, a university student researching artificial intelligence and virtual reality in real estate. They talk about how AI and VR might change property viewings, inspections and investor relationships. Kevin shares the potential benefits and challenges from multiple perspectives; as an investor, letting agency owner and property mentor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Virtual reality could revolutionise property viewings for international or out-of-area investors, allowing them to experience properties remotely without travelling, potentially seeing areas both during day and night to get a complete picture. VR technology could enhance property management through virtual inspections, enabling landlords to remotely view properties during move-ins, move-outs, and periodic inspections without physically visiting. Trust remains fundamental so while VR offers enhanced visualisation compared to photos or descriptions, the relationship with the estate agent remains crucial as clients must trust the accuracy of virtual representations. Early adoption of VR/AI presents a dilemma as businesses must balance being innovative against the financial risk of investing in rapidly changing tech that may become outdated. For local property purchases, where buyers are making significant life investments, VR will likely supplement rather than replace physical viewings, as people will still want to "touch and feel" properties. International investment markets may see faster VR adoption since investors often purchase properties without viewing them, focusing primarily on location and investment potential rather than specific property features. BEST MOMENTS "One of the things I would find really helpful with virtual reality is not just necessarily on the viewing of the property before you buy it, but the midterm inspections, if that could be done in a virtual reality way, that would be amazing." "I would not buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour. I would watch the virtual reality tour to identify what it baseline looks like. Then before I'd make my offer, I want to go into that house and view it.” "It's going to change everything we do. And it's a little bit scary at the same time because, especially AI, it's almost like Arnold Schwarzenegger was right. Terminator is coming into reality." "But at the end of the day, I'm a human being. I want that interaction."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin tackle the burning question: is now a bad time to invest or a golden opportunity? Kevin shares contrarian wisdom about market timing, revealing why professionals continue making deals while amateurs wait for the perfect moment that never exists. With over 120 properties in his portfolio, Kevin gives advice on navigating uncertain markets, spotting opportunities when others panic and why housing will always remain a fundamental need—even in an AI-dominated future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don't try to time the market. Focus on finding good deals that work now rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment to buy. Down markets create the best buying opportunities because motivated sellers fear prices dropping further, allowing you to negotiate better discounts. Property remains a fundamental human need regardless of economic conditions or technology changes, people will always need somewhere to live. Choose a strategy you'll actually implement in your local area. Deal packaging, rent-to-rent, service accommodation, or HMOs can all work when done right. Government housing promises rarely materialise as planned because they benefit from higher property values that generate more tax revenue. Economic downturns increase demand for affordable housing like HMOs as people look to save money by sharing accommodations with bills included. BEST MOMENTS "The amateurs wait till the market's gone up. They wait till the media tell them the market's gone up so they know which house to buy. Most people take their advice from their mate down the pub, their mate at work, their parents, or the media, and none of them have ever bought a house." "I have never seen anybody lose money when they held onto the house. Why? Because you ride it out and it goes back up. If you buy right, you'll always make money. And then when the market drops, you just ride it out and you survive." "Everyone is gonna need a home to live in. Property is the one thing that everybody needs. Food and housing, but food can be made artificial. Housing will always be housing because people will always need shelter." "You can either make excuses or make money, but you're not making both. Two types of people listening to this podcast, those that let the world happen to them and those that create their own world. Which one are you?"

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kev explore tactics for protecting your property portfolio, including creative financing methods and overlooked opportunities. Whether you're an experienced investor or just beginning, Sean and Kev share knowledge that could potentially save you thousands. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding market dynamics is essential before investing; analyse local trends, employment rates and development plans to identify areas with strong growth potential. Creative financing strategies can unlock deals even in tight credit markets; leveraging joint ventures, private money and seller financing options increases your investment possibilities. Building a reliable power team of professionals (solicitors, agents, contractors) is as important as finding the right property. The right connections can provide off market deals and save thousands in unexpected costs. Due diligence is always essential, thorough inspection of property condition and legal aspects prevents costly surprises. The right exit strategy should be determined before purchase, clarity on your endgame affects every aspect of the investment decision. Mindset separates successful investors from the rest! Continuous learning, resilience through setbacks,and surrounding yourself with positive influences creates the foundation for sustainable property investment success. BEST MOMENTS "Property investment isn't about getting rich overnight; it's about making informed decisions that build wealth consistently over time. I've seen too many people rush in with emotion rather than analysis." "The biggest mistake new investors make is thinking that the deal ends at purchase. That's when the real work begins, managing effectively, controlling costs, and executing your strategy with discipline." "I've seen properties that looked perfect on paper become nightmares because investors skipped proper surveys. That £500 saved upfront cost one client over £30,000 in structural repairs that could have been negotiated into the purchase price." "Market cycles are inevitable, but opportunities exist in every market. When others panic and sell, that's often the precise moment smart investors should be looking to acquire strategically."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews Willie Peterson, who learnt how to get out of his own way by training with Progressive. Willie shares how his life changed after meeting Kevin McDonald at a Progressive event, which completely shifted his mindset about property investing. From executing an award winning no-money-down deal in South Africa to raising hundreds of thousands in investment capital, Willie shows how anyone can overcome limiting beliefs and create win-win property deals—even without starting capital. KEY TAKEAWAYS Willie's journey from corporate IT professional to award winning property investor demonstrates how shifting your mindset can open doors you never thought possible. By using creative structuring behind his no money down deal in South Africa, Willie acquired a restaurant with commercial properties by understanding the seller's core needs and creating vendor financing solutions. Willie turned a chance encounter at a rural restaurant into a multi-property deal that benefited everyone involved. He gave the seller more than their asking price while requiring zero capital from Willie himself. He raised £600,000-£800,000 from investors in just weeks by focusing on authentic relationships rather than simply chasing money, emphasising the importance of alignment in values and vision. Property success isn't about luck but rather recognising opportunities and taking decisive action, what Kevin McDonald calls "labour under correct knowledge" (LUCK). BEST MOMENTS "You don't realise how bad your old mindset prevented you from achieving greater things in life. I realised I was in my own way and that's one of the major things that I learned at Progressive is to get out of your way and think differently." "If you told me 12 months ago that I would go down to South Africa, sort out a personal problem, then go and have breakfast at a place in the middle of nowhere and three months later bought the restaurant with two commercial properties and do a lease option of a property behind that and paid absolutely zero money for it... I would've thought you bonkers." "The main message we also give to potential investors is that the fact that you've got money doesn't mean we're gonna work with you. 'Cause we need to align on a few things, principles, and work ethics." "If you want something different, you have to change something, right? Because if you don't change something, you're only going to get the same thing as you always got."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews Nick Armstrong, a quantity surveyor who has changed his life through property investing. Nick shares how he went from working long hours in construction to building an impressive portfolio of 18 properties. Nick also shares how he leveraged Progressive's network, mentorship and creative strategies to achieve financial freedom through the right property education and community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nick owns 18 properties (soon to be 19) mostly in Northern England, providing enough income to support both him and his wife, allowing them to leave their full time jobs. Progressive Property taught Nick multiple strategies beyond traditional property investing, including HMOs, serviced accommodation, and RENT2RENT approaches that don't require property ownership. Building relationships with estate agents and managing agents has been important to Nick's success, leading directly to profitable deals and ongoing property opportunities. The No Money Down course teaches strategies to control properties without using your own funds, making property investing accessible to those without significant capital. Nick found the support system through Progressive's mentorship programs and WhatsApp groups invaluable, providing solutions to challenges and connecting with like minded investors. Interest rate changes have created challenges, but the right team and proper advice from Progressive have helped Nick navigate these fluctuations while maintaining his portfolio. BEST MOMENTS "We've now built up a substantial portfolio that provides us with hopefully an income for life. That's the life changing experience we've had, we will have something that's equivalent to our pension for life." "The tools that we've learned since we've gone through the Progressive process has been absolutely life changing for us really." "You come to these meetings and you have a little chat with people and it really stirs you up and gives you encouragement. You come away absolutely boiled up from who you've spoken to, what you've learned, and what you think you can achieve in your business throughout the next month." "When I speak to people about property, most of them turn around and say, 'If I had the money, I would like to get into property.' And when you actually explain they could do it without putting any money down or very little money down, initially there's disbelief."

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean Fitzpatrick shares his property journey from a council estate in Northern Ireland to financial freedom through property investment. Sean candidly discusses how he went from teaching himself piano to reaching university, jumping between cathedral choir positions for free accommodation and eventually becoming disillusioned with the education system. After discovering Progressive Property and implementing creative strategies, he transformed a liability into a cash flowing asset that enabled him to leave his teaching job. His story shows how taking calculated risks and shifting your mindset can lead to extraordinary success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sean grew up on a council estate in Northern Ireland during the troubles as one of nine children, teaching himself piano to Grade 8 level because his family couldn't afford lessons. After earning a music degree, Sean strategically secured free accommodation by singing in English cathedral choirs while earning a small salary, showing his early property problem solving skills! The book Rich Dad Poor Dad transformed Sean's perspective on property and money, helping him realise his residential property was a liability draining his finances rather than an asset. Sean found Progressive Property after seeking property training and won an award for his creative deal structure that required zero investment while providing enough cash flow to leave his teaching job. The deal involved Sean managing a landlord's property as a live-in manager and using lodger income to cover rent, turning liabilities into cash-flowing assets for both himself and the property owner. Schools teach children that money isn't important when in fact financial education is crucial; Sean saw more social mobility at Progressive Property events in three days than in his ten year teaching career. Sean's biggest obstacle was mindset, believing someone would invest with him. But after implementing strategies, an investor offered him £80,000 within five days. Sean almost walked out during the Face of Progressive competition after failing at a speaking task, but he reframed the challenge by focusing on how property changes lives rather than the object itself. Property deals receive far more rejections than approvals, but the successful ones are life changing. Real growth happens outside your comfort zone. Happiness is internal and controllable rather than dependent on external circumstances, negative emotions are signals that you need to reframe how you're thinking about a situation. Sean's philosophy is that you must help yourself before you can truly help others, comparing it to putting on your own oxygen mask first on an airplane before assisting others. BEST MOMENTS "Property isn't just about bricks and mortar. It's not just about money. The biggest thing in property is people. Property is about people and solving people's problems." "We were able to turn liability properties, our property that we were living in was a liability for us, and this property was a liability for the landlord. We were able to turn them both into cash flowing assets by taking a risk." "The biggest risk in life is taking no risk at all. If I hadn't taken that risk, I would still be on my school job and I would still feel stuck." "Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped my thinking about money and finance. I started thinking about property more. Everybody tells you property is an asset. But a property is not an asset if it's losing me money."

Sean and Kevin dissect the controversial new Renters Rights Bill. Kevin cuts through the fear and media hysteria, explaining why these changes won't be the disaster many landlords fear. With over 20 years of experience and 120+ properties in his portfolio, Kevin is honest about government incompetence, the disappearing middle class and why corporate landlords spell disaster for tenants. KEY TAKEAWAYS Section 21 abolition is not a disaster for landlords as most use it for legitimate evictions anyway Beware of corporate landlords taking over, they care about profits, not people Rent caps create trapped tenants and artificially inflated new rental prices Future proof properties by renovating properly from day one. Avoid being "penny wise, pound foolish"! Good landlords rent homes to people, not houses to tenants Property remains the most accessible way to build wealth for average people despite regulatory changes BEST MOMENTS "I have never, in my 20 years in property, 20 plus years now, never, ever, ever evicted a tenant for no fault. I don't rent houses to tenants, I rent homes to people and I have never evicted a person from their home that was paying the rent on time at market rent and looking after the house." "The middle class is disappearing in front of our eyes. Look down your high streets. All the middle class shops are shutting down. House of Fraser, Mac, the makeup shop, Ted Baker, they're all disappearing. What's booming? Big expensive shops that the wealthy use and the pound shops." "Once the big corporations take over, it's the road to ruin. Because the little landlord cares about their tenant, they get to know their tenant. They get to know, like and trust that person... Once the big corporations take over, it'll just be like British Gas." "You've never seen a millionaire saver, never mind a multi millionaire saver. The only way to become wealthy is through business and property and most business owners, even though they make money in business, they put it into property because it's a safe asset."

Join Sean as he interviews Rob Caswell, a newcomer to property investing who's achieved incredible success in just four months. From crane operator to property entrepreneur, Rob shares how he secured six properties with virtually no money down, transforming his life through Progressive's training. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success in property doesn't require massive capital, Rob secured six properties with just £1,000 initial investment, which he recovered within two months, demonstrating the power of creative financing strategies like Purchase Lease Options. Consistent marketing efforts, even with limited time, can yield significant results. Rob delivered 7,500 leaflets and 200 direct-to-vendor letters while working a 10-hour day job, leading to his first major deal. Building rapport with property owners is crucial and Rob's success came from understanding the vendors' needs and presenting solutions, leading them to trust him with their entire portfolio. Having a strong "why" drives success, Rob's motivation to provide better opportunities for his children helped him persist through challenges and scepticism from others. Rob's journey accelerated after finding guidance through Progressive, helping him avoid common pitfalls and maintain motivation. Early morning routines can accelerate progress, following advice from Rob Moore, Rob started waking up at 3 AM to work on his property business, showing the importance of making time for your goals. BEST MOMENTS "I didn't actually think I could get into property with very limited finances” "Get started, put your best foot forward. The answer is yes. Figure it out later. Get some training, first and foremost, don't walk into it blind, get a mentor." "My children are my why... I don't want them to go through life building somebody else's dream. I want to build their dream and let them live it."

Sean talks to George about his journey into property investing and how, through Progressive Property's network and training, George transformed his business portfolio from managing pub rooms to overseeing multiple successful property ventures across the UK. His story demonstrates how combining property education with networking can lead to extraordinary success, even for those starting with limited property knowledge. KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting small with room rentals in his pub created a stable income stream that outperformed the pub's primary business. Strategic partnerships formed through Progressive Property's network enabled George to expand geographically, managing properties in both Hertfordshire and London. Taking consistent action, even with imperfect first deals, led to rapid expansion, from zero to five rent-to-rent properties and multiple service accommodation units in central London within months. George has built growth and stability by having multiple income streams, including property and content creation. The Progressive Property community offered not just education but also accountability and networking opportunities, leading to successful joint ventures and business partnerships. Personal development through Progressive's training programs transformed George from someone uncomfortable with public speaking to a confident business owner and podcast host. BEST MOMENTS "COVID was a big period of time and not doing a lot. So that's when I came across Rob's Rants... I spent probably a couple of years watching him before I bought anything." "I wouldn't be where I am if I hadn't have done that. Surrounded by the mentors that have done it and then can demonstrate that also gives you that extra push." "If you don't try, you don't know. And what you don't, you don't know what you don't know. So it is uncomfortable. The first couple of times will be challenging, but if you don't do that, you're not going to make the desired change." "I was not somebody who would be sat here in March 2023... I would have been that person sat at the back of the room on my phone. You wouldn't have noticed I was there."

This week, we speak to Liam McCallum, a former letting agent turned property investor. From humble beginnings in a call centre to becoming a shareholder in his letting agency and completing 39 property deals in just months, Liam's journey is a masterclass in seizing opportunities. Learn how he transformed his agency's declining portfolio into a thriving deal packaging business, and his ambitious plans to own the entire Northeast! KEY TAKEAWAYS Building credibility with estate agents requires persistence and consistency, don't take "no" for a final answer. Instead, treat rejection as "not yet" and keep demonstrating your value until agents see the proof in your results. Success in property deal packaging comes from understanding investor needs, not just property aesthetics. Focus on analysing numbers and deal structures rather than superficial features like nice kitchens. Investing in proper education and training, despite the initial cost concerns, can exponentially accelerate your progress. Liam's investment was returned 10X through implementing the right strategies and systems. Consistency in marketing, deal analysis, and relationship building is crucial. By maintaining consistent effort, Liam's business transformed from struggling to find investors to having more investors than deals. When approaching estate agents, keep communication simple and avoid industry jargon. Remember that front desk staff may not understand terms like "BRR opportunities" so focus on clear, straightforward language. Reinvesting profits strategically into business growth can create a sustainable expansion model. Using deal packaging profits to acquire additional letting agencies creates multiple income streams and future investment opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "We have 10X our investment at least, if not more... We've now done 39 deals, 39 single let buy to let deals packaged and sold to investors." "I don't take no's. I take no's as not yet. If an agent says no, it means no, you're not getting one off as yet. So I'll keep going back and keep going." "Every time I create myself more time, I then employ that time back into creating myself more time... I don't want to just do 39 deals. I want to do 109 deals." "As an agent, we kind of looked and thought, well, that's a nice buy to let... but actually understanding how to analyse the numbers, what makes an investor tick... has really turbocharged that."

Sean interviews Damian Mulhern, a property investor who transformed his life from running an aggregates business to building a successful property portfolio. Damian shares his journey from feeling stuck in his previous business to discovering the BRRR strategy and successfully executing multiple deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning from a saver to an investor mindset is crucial for financial growth. Damian learned that keeping money in savings accounts actually loses value due to inflation, leading him to explore investment opportunities that generate returns while he sleeps. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy can be incredibly powerful when executed correctly. Damian's success story of turning a £118,000 property into a £365,000 HMO demonstrates how adding value through strategic improvements can lead to exceptional returns. Managing risk in property investment isn't about avoiding it entirely but taking calculated steps. Damian advocates for getting structural surveys when needed and maintaining lower LTV ratios (60-65%) on some properties to ensure portfolio stability. Finding motivated sellers is key to securing good deals, but it's essential to know when to negotiate and when to accept asking price. Sometimes, paying full price for a below-market-value property creates a win-win situation. Networking and being part of a property community is invaluable for success. Learning from others' mistakes and experiences can save thousands of pounds and accelerate your property journey significantly. Setting ambitious goals while maintaining quality is vital for long-term success. Despite owning nine properties, Damian sees himself at the beginning of his journey, aiming for ten HMOs next year and eventually owning commercial buildings in Manchester city centre. BEST MOMENTS "Knowledge without action is just knowledge... if you don't implement that idea, the idea doesn't actually exist in reality for anybody." "A saver is, wants to put it in a bank account however, an investor understands the economics of it... they want to put it in a place where it starts to work when you're sleeping." "If you're the most experienced person in the room, you're in the wrong room." "I just want to own some big, beautiful buildings in Manchester City Centre... and just be proud of the quality because the figures will come."

In this inspiring episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, host Sean Fitzpatrick interviews Rochelle Gilburn, who transformed personal tragedy into triumph through property investing. After losing her husband in 2018, Rochelle leveraged her marketing background to build an impressive property portfolio, completing 37 refurbishments in just three and a half years! KEY TAKEAWAYS · Small but consistent actions in property investment and social media presence can lead to significant results - Rochelle grew her LinkedIn connections from 250 to 15,000 in just one year through regular posting and engagement. · Multiple income streams are crucial for future-proofing your property business. Combining buy-to-lets, service accommodation, and property sourcing can provide stability and diverse revenue. · Documenting your journey is important for growth, regularly sharing property journey updates, including challenges and successes, helps build authority and attract potential investors and clients too. · Being adaptable with property strategy can turn challenges into opportunities. For example, when unable to sell a property due to high interest rates, Rochelle converted it to successful service accommodation. · Rochelle launched her LinkedIn training business by first gauging interest and then creating the content, demonstrating the power of just getting started and not waiting. · Building an ethical property sourcing business requires significant effort but can provide the foundation for expanding into other property strategies and growth. BEST MOMENTS "I can remember pulling up at the venue and there was actually people in there and I was like, my heart was racing. I'm like, what am I doing? Why am I punishing myself like this? Cause the fear never really goes away." "In 2020 during lockdown, I built up my connections from 250 at the beginning of the year to 15,000. So just through the consistency and figuring out what worked and what didn't work." "Start now. And then by the new year, you're going to be hitting the ground running or start now and by Monday, you'll already be starting to get into new habits." "We're buying houses for around 80,000 for a three bed terraced house. So we'll buy one of those and we use the BRR model of refurbishing it and then refinancing it and renting it out."

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Kevin McDonnell interviews Disruptive Entrepreneur and Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Tune in today to hear them discuss the UK’s biggest property event of the year, what you’ll learn and why you should attend. KEY TAKEAWAYS What’s your favourite property investment strategy? My personal favourite property investing strategy is commercial conversion, because that's what we do and that works for us, because it works well in Peterborough, there are good deals that need planning and we've worked out how to get the planning and we're doing one that's 85,000 square foot that could be up to 160 units. No money down is a way of buying, rent to rent is a way of buying, a lot of people confuse strategies, they think they’re going to do rent to rent or no money down or lease options, but actually no, what you're doing is a way of buying a property. Rent to rent is just circumventing needing a deposit, lease options are circumventing needing a deposit, we use all of those strategies within the strategy of commercial conversion. How many years have you been doing property now? December 15, 2005, was the day my life changed. The last week of that year, I met Mark up my very first property networking event and in February 2006, I started my property investing career properly working in a property company and buying with Mark. That's 13 years nearly. When was the first super conference? 2010 was our first really big event, there's a lot of people that start property training, who never really got much property and that's how progressive is different. The critics say there are too many people out there who teach but haven't done and maybe there are some, but how we're different is every strategy that we teach, we've done. Why did you stop doing the super conference? Those events got more and more expensive, like hundreds of thousands of pounds, this super conference will cost us 500 grand, half a million quid to run an event. The bigger the room, the more expensive they get. That was one thing. The second thing was we started to think if there's a cheap strike if there's a bomb scare if something goes wrong and three to six months of our marketing and our revenue are based on this one event, massive risk. The third thing was I like connecting with people, I'd prefer to speak to 100 people or 200 people than in 1400. I'm better in a smaller room. Every speaker loves the thought of the big stage, but I started to feel more disconnected. We bought our own training sweet over there, what's the point in going into massive events in London when you can do in smaller events here. What’s the main thing you're sort of excited about a product? One of them is creating multiple streams of income. We want to teach you how to create multiple streams of income. The second thing is we wanted the quickest cash flow strategies. What is the reason you give too much content without stopping? My Why is trying to earn respect and love from people and that just won't go away, I love property and I love business. Attend the 10X super conference and learn to be the best. BEST MOMENTS “The harder my challenges are, the more motivated I am.” “All the property strategies that we teach work, otherwise it wouldn't teach them.” “I did single let so many years, but when you've done loads of them, you kind of hunger to scale up and your time isn't worth just doing a single that when you can do bigger stuff.” “I don’t want people to look at me and say, “Rob is doing big commercial conversions, that's what I'm going to do.” if they haven't done a single let yet.” “There are too many people out there who teach but haven't done” “I never teach anything unless I've done it.” “You can learn something from everyone if you stay humble enough to look at someone.” “To know not to do is not to know.” “The easiest person to lie to is you.” “It’s okay to fail and it's best to fail small and fast.” “Mindset skill set strategy and tactics.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

To listen to Abby’s previous episode, head here: https://omny.fm/shows/progressive-property-podcast/from-property-to-merchandising-back KEY TAKEAWAYS Abby was working as a merchandiser and had a very busy schedule but wasn’t earning what she wanted, she knew something needed to change and attended the Progressive Property Deal Packaging course. Abby is an advocate of direct mail, she has had consistently strong leads from it. A deal Abby is recently working on is a conversion into holiday lets. It will be a lot of work but for a brilliant end result! Abby has also recently completed an assisted sale deal, which she got via a direct mail lead. Probably Abby’s most impressive deal to date is on her own £1million dream home! Part of this success was due to relationships she had previously built.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth. You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn’t mean they will be a higher quality tenant. Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas’ and one street can make all the difference. The monthly rental profit isn’t the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities. A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less. Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate! BEST MOMENTS "Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?” “You need to know your area” “Your return in the North looks better in the South” “What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business” "It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something" 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 Kevin in the first episode of 2024 of the Progressive Property Podcast and learn all about no-money-down (NMD) techniques and why they could work for you in your property investing journey! KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategies vary in their success depending on the area but all strategies work all the time. Historically buy to let, commercial conversions, HMOs and serviced accommodation have always worked and always will. Before you think about which investment strategy to use you need to first get the ‘house’ or property. This is where no money-down techniques come in. No money-down property investment techniques allow you to scale. Don’t confuse property investing with property owning. Most investors own a job but don’t always have lots of properties in their ownership at one time. Cash and a mortgage aren’t the only ways to get into property investing. Time and debt are valuable resources, using no money down techniques you focus on buying these rather than focusing on the physical asset Those with a poor mindset follow the system of getting into debt at a young age and out of debt for retirement. BEST MOMENTS “You can’t do property with your money down” “Most property investors, they own a job” “No money down investment techniques allow you more ideas than traditional thinking” “The richest people on this planet have the most good debt” “If you retire with no debt you’ll likely retire without significant wealth” “There’s a big difference between good debt and bad debt” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Want to Connect with Carole?

Kevin has been in the property game for over 20 years, but it was only when he came to Progressive Property 9 years ago that he really learnt how to become a professional property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS I am not a landlord; I am a property investor. Raising finance is one of the most important aspects of property investing Property is a people business The right house will always find the right tenants You can’t plan your week in detail Become knowledgeable about your local council and regs Long-term thinking is what you need in this business Your network, it’s not just what you know it’s whom you know Boring is best!

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kev is joined by social media expert and property investor Scott Wroe in this episode. They talk about strategies anyone can follow to flip houses as well as the unique ways you can leverage social media in your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Scott's parents were flipping houses throughout his childhood. He is only 27 but has lived in 30 houses! Scott focuses on the cheapest house on an average street. If you are starting out, don't buy houses that need any major work, instead focus on things that need updating cosmetically. Look for a mentor to guide you and prevent you from making expensive mistakes. After just two deals, Scott made a 70k profit. As Scott grew, he started using contractors and even established deals with kitchen suppliers via social media. You would be surprised how easily brands want to gift items and products to 'house' accounts, you only need a 30k following to get noticed.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Rachel is a property investor in Peterborough, the same location as Progressive Property founders Rob and Mark. In this episode, she proves that there are still great deals to be found and money to be made in locations that have large investors in the area. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Previously a management consultant who moved into commercial cleaning once she had a family. Rachel was inspired by Rob Moore's book, Multiple Streams of Property Income to attend the MSOPI event and create her own property portfolio. Being someone who finds an opportunity in a problem is the reason Rachel was able to pivot during the pandemic. Don't decide on one strategy to use instead look for properties and then adapt and use the strategy that suits that particular property. A lot of the best deals can take time and patience. Rachel frequently works with investors that don't have the time to find deals or put the work in required for big returns and so she does this for them with their money.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS  The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right' or ‘best' property, meaning you'll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people's money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS   ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises' ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property' ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down' ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today' ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work' 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.

In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Kevin discusses everyone's most hated topic, Tax! There are new tax changes incoming, and here is what you need to know. Do not fear, there have always been tax changes and people have ALWAYS made money, the key is to roll with the punches and listen to Kevin's top tips so that you can make the most of your money! Discover how tens of thousands of ordinary brits are quietly getting rich with minimum investment!bit.ly/Podcast-MSOPI KEY TAKEAWAYS  Run your investment property as serviced accommodation to avoid paying tax on your interest only mortgage! Turn your properties into a limited company to get access to incorporation relief. (You will still have to pay stamp duty) STOP PAYING TOO MUCH TAX by getting a tax advisor instead of an accountant. If you run a business (and property is a business) make sure you claim for all of your deductible expenses before tax! If you're investing in a property to rent, look for properties with happy, paying tenants already in it. That way, you don't have to risk finding potentially rubbish tenants yourself!

Should I manage my own properties or outsource them to a lettings agency? This might be a question that you are asking yourself, as you start your journey in property. From his fifteen years experience in property, where he now owns his own lettings agency, Kevin McDonnell gives his take on how you should go about it. Whether it's making sure you get experience self-managing a property, to the benefits of partnering up with an existing agency in a JV partnership, Kevin gives you all the pros and cons of Self-management vs Outsourcing.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When I start out in property I thought I would have to do everything. When I started I would always do everything from meeting the tenants, gaining references, prepare and write the contracts. I'd do the repairs, and deal with the day to day issues. I thought that was what an investor required. Whereas today I find great deals and my partner manages out the letting agency on a day to day basis.    Learning what the agents need to do. Self-management is a good thing to do at least a small amount. You'll find out what kind of problems that your tenants have. Your tenants are your clients and you are providing them with a service which you need to provide to the best of your ability. This will also save you on the management fees but cost you in time. This will make sure you have the experience so you know your agent is doing things in the right way.   What sort of systems should you have to self manage? I used for my first ten properties, Microsoft Excel. There are loads of fancy apps, but if you have ten properties you can manage them on a spreadsheet. Just get your first house and manage it on Excel. Once it becomes too big, over ten properties, you should look at things like Arthur or GoTenant. We have now moved on to Jupix because we are running a letting agent, and my JV partner runs that but that's too complicated and costly for if you are just starting out.    Give your first couple of properties to an agency. Learn how to do it properly, learn how to self manage your property. Then take on property to self manage so you get an inside guide to what they go through. Learn everything that an agency does. An agency does a lot of work from people who say they are interested in that property, lodge the deposit, gaining references and sorting out contracts.  I found a JV partner. I found a local guy who was running a satellite office but he wasn't on the high street. He was like a virtual agent. I approached him. I asked him to move into the high street into a property that I had bought. He's 50/50 in the letting agents. I have a JV partner and he gets 50% of the profits.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Its about being smarter with your time.'  ‘Be an investor rather than a landlord.'  ‘Since outsourcing, I have more time to think.'  ‘Make sure you see your tenants as clients.'  ‘You don't need fancy software to manage one house.'  ‘Get perfect later.'  ‘It was cheaper to manage in house.'  ‘The management fees from other landlords pay for the fees.'  ‘When you're starting out you don't have a skillset.'  ‘Agents do a lot of work.'  ‘You can shadow an agency.'  ‘I wanted to be a business owner.'  ‘It's a win, win situation.'  VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.xero.com/uk/   https://jupix.com  https://gotenant.co.uk  https://www.arthuronline.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST    Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kev is interviewed by MJ, who is doing a dissertation around AI and wants to quiz Kev on what he thinks the impact will be on the property world. They talk about the real-life implications and applications of AI and VR including relationships with clients, costs and convenience. KEY TAKEAWAYS  VR and AI present a unique opportunity to build better relationships. There will be huge time savings to be had once AI has been established within a workflow. Virtual reality means that staff and people other than the landlords can review accommodation, sending the recording to the landlord to review at their convenience. Communication is essential if AI and VR are to work in any industry, individuals and companies need to be educated with realistic expectations. MJ believes that real estate agents haven't been told or educated about why and how AI and VR could work for them. You don't have a business unless you have happy customers, if you can make your customers happier then you can generate more income, Kev would want AI or VR to aid in this. BEST MOMENTS   “I'm really excited about this and also really scared” “Relationship building is important between a real estate agent and a customer” “Any relationship starts with trust in the first place” “Would you buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour?” “You know way more about the technology than the actual client that would be using it” “If you want to sell me on virtual reality you need to sell me the benefits not ask me why I would use it” 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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so. When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths. Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial. Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD A motivating and informative episode where Kevin speaks to property investor Martin Sanderson. Martin talks about how he got started in property investing and how he turned his initial zero investment into a scalable successful property business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Martin was working in hospitality but then read Kevin's book which made him decide to do the Progressive No Money Down Course and hasn't looked back since. When lockdown hit, Martin took the initiative and put himself out there on social media and it worked – he secured deals whilst most of the country was on pause. Martin has already managed to scale his no-money down property business, he has managed this mostly by using creative techniques he learnt from Progressive, often helping people along the way too. Networking was incredibly beneficial to Martin and his team. This made him want to join and expand the Progressive Property Network in his area of Preston. BEST MOMENTS “You can create the money to buy that building out of the profits of the pub, it becomes a true no-money-down deal the money is created before you ever buy it from the asset you've acquired” “It's helping people get more from their property in a creative structured way” “If you're listening to this, do not share the details of a deal unless you've got it secured” ALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk     ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

One of the biggest hurdles when starting property investing is getting over the idea that it is hard. It isn't hard, it's just new to you. In this episode, co-founder of Progressive Property, Rob Moore tells you why this is and what you need to do to conquer this feeling. KEY TAKEAWAYS Working for yourself, doing what you love and building an empire might feel daunting. But it's a lot easier living a life you want to instead of wishing your time away doing something uninspiring and that you hate. There will always be people in the game that are struggling. Those people will tell you that it is too hard and it's not as it seems. If things feel hard that means you haven't created realistic expectations. Don't focus on the negatives of something new. Enjoy this period of time, when something is new it's exciting and you won't get to experience it in that way again.

In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast we revisit episode 134 where Dan gives you the 5 essential things to consider when looking for a JV partner. Choosing your JV partner is NOT a child's game, like pin the tail on the donkey or ring-around-the-rosy. There's too much at stake when you don't think carefully and you don't have your guards up. Discover how you can thoroughly pick the best JV partner in your property business through Dan's simple steps. There will always be one who's very compatible with your knowledge, skills, and vision, so never settle!   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Work out the real reason you need a JV partner. Are you really in dire need? Or are you just lacking of self-belief? What business are you looking to bring your JV partner on? Make sure that your bringing in the right person. If you don't want to do it alone, it's worth considering also to have a mentor who can guide you. Having a JV partner might complicate the situation if you aren't clear yet of your purpose.  What will each person's role be? It's best that you complement each other. Find someone who have the knowledge and skills that you lack. And, who will deal with the day to day issues? If you just want someone who will provide the funds, then being active with the operations is the least to worry about when looking for a JV partner.   Before any agreements, remember to make a list of things you need to agree upfront. A JV Partnership agreement must entail everything each of you must bring to the table. What does your JV partner want? Know what outcome are they looking forward to. Also prepare an exit plan just incase of unforeseen circumstances (e.g. breach of contract, critical illness, etc.)  If you're looking for a joint venture in property, familiarize yourselves first with PS13/3 regulations. There are only a bunch of people you're allowed to joint venture with, and PS13/3 has it detailed.  Don't pick someone just like you. You are not looking for another you, you are looking for someone who can do what you can't do. Consider taking the Wealth Dynamics Test to gauge if your personalities are compatible. You and your partner can be: a Creator, a Star, a Supporter, a Deal Maker, a Trader, an Accumulator, a Lord, or a Mechanic.  Don't rush in to picking a JV partner. If you're picking someone for the long term, test everything out first. It would be a waste of time to know that what you have hope for in the partnership won't be fruitful. Be clear about their values, not just about the money, the skill, and the knowledge they can offer.  BEST MOMENTS  “Sometimes, people think they need a JV partner and they go into business with somebody when in hindsight, all they needed was to build some knowledge and gain some belief for themselves.”  “We have the end in mind before we even started, and that's what's really important.”  “You are not looking for the best mate to go out with, you are looking for a business partner who brings a different dynamic, a different skillset.”  “Pick the right person to grow the business.”  “It's not a race; it's a journey.”  “I made a lot of mistakes in property, but I made them before I got educated.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Progressive Property  PS13/3 Restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes (PDF)   Wealth Dynamics Test    ABOUT THE HOSTKevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD One of Kevin's most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities.  BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they're going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don't have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Shimon Rudich of MS Law joins Kev to talk about creative property investing including the many options out there and the most effective ways of utilising them to grow your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You have to be willing to think outside of the box and out of your comfort zone in order to use creative property investing techniques. If you want to scale quickly and make money faster then creative property techniques are the way forward for you. There are many similarities between what is happening now and 2008, if the housing market crashes there will be many opportunities for experienced property investors. If the market crashes, as a property investor you pay less but you can still charge the same rent. It also ‘culls' a lot of investors that aren't serious so can be a positive thing for you as an investor.  There isn't one single strategy that works for everyone or even every situation. You must tailor your strategy to your unique circumstances. BEST MOMENTS   “Different people have different mentalities” “If you only do things in one way you limit the opportunities” “We buy properties to make money and instead of buying in the usual way we can buy to make more money, why say no” “They deserve to be out of the game” “Less competition, pay less, what's bad about a market crash now?” 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.

Rob joins Kev in this episode to talk about his property journey. He talks about how he balances his day job with his property investing and why anyone can work out this balance in their own lives. Rob and Kev also talk about the importance of thinking creatively in property investing and why there are always opportunities out there for investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Even though he has a day job, Rob is always thinking about his next move in property. He believes that anyone can find the time to do property investing is they are focused enough. He started with buy-to-lets and then started to look at more creative ways to invest. An accountant and a tax adviser are different things. If you want to save money on tax, then an adviser is who you want to be hiring. Rob used to not talk about his property investing but after altering his mindset is happy to boast about being a property investor and the success he is having as a landlord.

Kev is joined by fellow property investor and podcast host of the Tutor Podcast, Neil Cowmeadow. Neil first started investing in property 8 years ago and shares with Kev the upsides, downsides and the many lessons he has learnt along the way. Neil also talks about why he trained with Progressive Property and how he became financially free. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Most financial advisors aren't financially free themselves. They are still just working a job. Neil did a couple of property flips before finding Progressive Property and got his knowledge through reading property books. He started attending some of the free Progressive courses and then began doing some of the paid ones. Training with Progressive Property allowed Neil to implement a strategy he knew would work for him and that was tried and tested.  Neil now has 21 rental properties and has used 400k of other people's money to not only give them value for money, but also allow him to grow and scale as a property investor. No matter where you live, there will be a property strategy that will work in your location. There are great books out there on property investing but nothing compares to learning from experts directly and networking in a room alongside people on the same journey as you. BEST MOMENTS   "Sunk some money in, thinking the cost of a course would be less than the cost of implementing a failed strategy” “I wouldn't have had the skillset, the belief, that possibility of scale (without Progressive Property training)” “I'm doing just single lets at the moment as they take less of my time” “It's all based on how much you know and you can read…but the very best thing I've found is to get in a room with people who are also travelling in the same direction” "If I can do it anybody can"  "Believe in yourself, no one is coming to the rescue"  VALUABLE RESOURCES www.neilcowmeadow.com info@neilcowmeadow.com Twitter @tutorpodcast 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.

Darren and Kev talk about a frequently forgotten topic in property, CDM regulations. Darren shares his experience in property and CDM regulations and talks about why he is so passionate about teaching others the importance of understanding how to protect themselves. Kev and Darren also outline the scenarios where CDM regulations matter and how to protect yourself as a property investor.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  CDM regulations stand for construction, design and management regulations. This is essentially about running construction projects in the right way. CDM regs apply to you in any non-domestic construction. As the client, as the investor, understanding or having someone who understands the CDM regulations is essential to protect yourself. On a large project, it can be worth paying for one contractor to deal with all sub-contractors, to save you time and derisk the project. When choosing a contractor ask for recommendations and ask them if they will work to CDM regs. BEST MOMENTS   "CDM regs are in place regardless of what project you're in, so anything to do with construction” “People get scared by it (CDM Regulations) because they think it's a big thing” “Always ask contractors if they'll work to CDM regs” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://linktr.ee/darrenburrows Taurus Project Solutions - https://www.taurus-property.com/projects?r_done=1 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darren.burrows1/?locale=en_GB LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenburrows1/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuGLmCrylHRvjsovzotwuQQ 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.

Sean Fitzpatrick joins Kev to talk about what he has been doing on his property investment journey. He shares why one deal was enough for him to quit his job, and the value of the Progressive community and talks about why investing in your own local area is excellent advice! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Sean was told all his life to study hard and get to university, but it was whilst he was there, that he realised that his degree left him very few real options to make a living. He moved to England and sang in church choirs as this provided him accommodation. After a few years, he then became a school teacher but it became exhausting and he knew he needed to do something differently. After listening to the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, something in his brain flipped and he started to think of ways he could turn his current property into an asset. Robert Kiyosaki said he completed a no money down course, and it changed his life so Sean looked into doing a no money down course too, and this is how he found Progressive Property. Sean began to implement some of the things Kevin had told him to do on the course and they worked. In one deal, Sean managed to make enough to earn more than his monthly salary as a teacher and it was then he considered quitting his full-time job. Since his first deal Sean has worked on flipping properties and well as standard buy-to-lets. BEST MOMENTS   "I started getting that niggling feeling inside that something wasn't right, I needed to do something different, I realised unless I did something fairly drastic I would be stuck in the system of constantly working for very little pay” “Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he did a no money down course and that's the thing that changed his life” “It turns out that Kevin McDonnell was right!” “Follow the successful and the success follows” “That one deal gave me the flexibility of thinking about leaving my job” VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sean.fitzpatrick.752/?_rdr 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.

Kevin shares the 3 biggest mistakes he has made on his property journey, so you don't have to make the same mistakes he did! Kevin talks about why he made these mistakes, what you can do to avoid them and talks about what he did to transform his journey to success.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Using all his savings to invest in off-plan properties abroad Didn't believe anyone would lend him money Was stuck in the 'system' BEST MOMENTS   "I didn't have a plan” “I didn't have belief, mistake number 2 was I really didn't believe in myself, I didn't believe anyone would lend me money” “I used all my problems as an excuse not to take any action” “Formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune” 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.

Kevin interviews Tina Cleary, a photographer turned property investor. Tina shares her journey from struggling with an inconsistent photography income to building a thriving property portfolio in just 18 months. Discover how Tina overcame her initial hesitations, leveraged her skills, and achieved financial stability through property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Tina transitioned from a 28-year photography career with unpredictable income to generating nearly £4,000 monthly from property investments within 18 months. Despite initial hesitations and having no money on her property journey, Tina successfully entered property investing using no-money-down strategies and mentorship. Tina's first rent-to-rent deal, secured with borrowed funds, now generates £800-900 monthly profit and in January after paying off her investor will increase to £2300 which will covers her bills  Networking and leveraging transferable skills, such as property photography, can create additional income streams and investment opportunities. Tina stresses the importance of taking action, even when scared, as the alternative of staying stagnant is more frightening! Tina's future goals include creating a legacy, helping others get on the property ladder, and exploring supported living investments for a positive social impact. BEST MOMENTS   "I will never regret doing this because I feel that nothing would have ever changed because I have tried so many things to have a more income."  "It's even scarier staying still and nothing changing. And I would bring my daughters here, which I already have bought one. And I hand on heart would just say, do it because it is life changing." "I think it actually helped like not having the money because like how you train us. So sometimes money can be a distraction."  "Don't wish for no problems, wish for the ability to handle bigger ones."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Website - https://ultimatepropertyinvestments.co.uk/about/ Photography Website - https://www.tinaclearyphotography.co.uk/welcome/#home 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.

Kevin hosts Swedish property investors Nana and Emilie Prisie. They share their journey of investing in UK property remotely from Sweden, and soon to be Spain. Discover how they've built a diverse portfolio across England, their strategies for finding deals, and the importance of networking. This episode shows how international investors can succeed in the UK market, offering knowledge for both local and foreign property investors.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Remote property investing is possible with the right education and network. Nana and Emilie have successfully built a portfolio of 16 rent-to-rents, 2 lease options, and several purchases across England while living in Sweden. The UK property market offers more opportunities for small investors compared to Sweden, where regulations and finance options are restrictive, making it difficult for individuals to invest in property. Joint ventures with local partners can be an effective strategy for remote investors, ensuring better management and alignment of interests in rent-to-rent deals. Consistency in your property investment journey is crucial for attracting investors. Staying focused on property and avoiding frequent shifts to other investment types builds trust and credibility. Networking is fundamental to success in property investing, leading to off-market deals, partnerships, and investment opportunities. Building relationships at property events and trainings is invaluable. Getting properly educated about the UK property market is essential for foreign investors. It provides the knowledge needed to navigate regulations, find deals, and build a successful portfolio remotely. BEST MOMENTS   "If UK had the sun, we would move directly. Because the people in the UK, we love the people in the UK. You're amazing. Everyone is happy, even if they're not happy". "Without the network, we wouldn't be here, where we are today. No obviously all of the connections that we made and some of them have turned out to be become friends now." "We have some investors that came like three years in because they were like just looking, okay, are they still doing property? Are they still doing property? And then boom." "Get educated, I would say. Yeah. You gotta get educated first if you don't live there, if you don't know the rules. That was like critical for us."

At the halfway point of 2024, Kev gives a mid-year kickstart and talks about 7 steps you can take to start your property journey now. If you haven't started your journey this year, or you're feeling behind, this will help motivate you and get you on your way to making 2024 a property investing success! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Adjust your mindset. Your mindset can be the biggest barrier to achieving your goals. Get rich quick schemes never work, you need to think longer term to change your life. Self-education makes you a fortune, formal education only makes you a living. Raise money resourcefully, you need the right finance to get started but this doesn't have to be your own money! Start simple, boring is best. Over time you can build to bigger projections when you have experience. Build a supportive team of people who understand what you are trying to achieve. BEST MOMENTS   “Half of 2024 is now gone but this is still a great time to start” “It's about a clear long-term perspective” “The job you are in is working for someone else, it's working for them but it's not working as well for you” “Your bank account is holding you back” 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 Kevin as he interviews Tricia Crocker, a property investor who's made remarkable progress in just 18 months. Discover how Tricia went from juggling multiple jobs to successfully managing rent-to-rent properties and executing creative deals.  Learn how she overcame self-doubt and leveraged unconventional strategies to build her property portfolio, all while maintaining a full-time job and family commitments. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Tricia transitioned from various careers to property investing after attending a Multiple Streams of Property Income event, demonstrating the impact of education and networking. She utilises creative strategies like rent-to-rent, vendor finance, and assisted sales, proving that property investing doesn't always require significant personal capital. Tricia manages six rent-to-rent properties, generating an average monthly profit of £8,000, showcasing the potential of this strategy. Building confidence and overcoming self-doubt were crucial to Tricia's success, achieved through continuous learning and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals. Direct-to-vendor approaches have been more effective for Tricia than working with estate agents, highlighting the importance of personal communication in property deals. Balancing a full-time job, family commitments, and property investing is challenging but achievable through prioritisation and consistent daily actions towards goals. BEST MOMENTS   "I've always had an interest in property, So that's how come I ended up here and I turned up at a multiple streams property income one day. And the rest is history." "I come to the mastermind sessions frequently every month without fail to surround myself with people who are further ahead than me and who know what they're doing."  "I've managed to help other people within my family and my friends and my kids, friends, parents and other things sort out Issues that they've had with their properties and that."  "I have learned that I'm the only person that's responsible for how I react to things. And I'm the only person that's responsible to change my life."  EPISODE RESOURCES JTaP Properties - https://www.jtapproperties.com https://www.facebook.com/tricia.stock.18/ https://www.instagram.com/triciacrockerdevelopments/ https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tricia-crocker-dipnebosh-75668160 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.

‘Overall estate agents are good at helping you to get the best deal, but they are also great at ensuring the best deal for themselves'  In this fascinating episode, Kevin shares 7 tricks that are vital for anyone who is a property entrepreneur. He explains why agents use these tricks and how you can respond to make sure you are getting what YOU want from an agent, listen in now.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Losing the keys If a letting agent is competing with another agent it can stop access, so they do not miss out on commission.  Estate agents also lose keys to manipulate who is viewing a property because they may have a preferred buyer.  Making you feel that you have to act now Agents are commission based so their focus is getting deals done. They will tell you there are other offers on the table or that the vendor is about to remove the property from the market to build FOMO (Fear of missing out).  Talking you out of the best deal for you Never let the agent know your bottom price when selling, or your top price for buying remember they are working for commission.  If you let them know these prices they will make the deal at the figures you have disclosed.  Selling you extra advertising If your property is not selling agents will often tell you they can introduce extra advertising if you pay them more, the question you should be asking is why weren't they doing this at the start of the sale process?  Incorrect valuations There are 3 types of agents, and they value in different ways.  Overvaluation – the aim is to tie you into a contract with them by offering an above market  valuation that entices you to sign up with them and then managing your expectations.  A correct valuation – this agent is realistic they may not have as many properties on their books but are the most honest and accurate in their valuation.  A low valuation – this is aimed  at  getting the property it sold as quickly as possible.  Getting you to sign along-termsole agency contract or charging up front  Only use one agent to market your property but keep flexible and don't get tied into a long-term contract.  High street agents usually operate on a contract and charge you at the end  Online agents entice you in with a lower fee, but you have to pay up front. This means they have no incentive to sell the property.  Convincing you to use their recommended mortgage broker If you need a mortgage they will be keen for you to use the in-house mortgage broker as this will be double commission for them. The mortgage broker is unlikely to be an independent and will therefore not have access to the ‘whole of the market' for the buyer this results in a more limited choice of mortgage products.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Trust me they know where the keys are'  At the end of the day, a bid is just a bid, it doesn't mean it will go through to completion'  ‘Get 3 different quotes to ensure you have an understanding of the ways agents value properties'  ‘As you will be buying and selling a number of properties building a positive relationship with your agent is key'  ‘It costs you because you will not have access to the best mortgage product for you'  VALUABLE RESOURCES  No Money Down: Property Investing book by Kevin McDonnell  ABOUT THE HOST  Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin shares his expertise on starting a property empire with no money down. He challenges conventional wisdom, debunks common excuses, and reveals how anyone can kickstart their property journey, regardless of their financial situation.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  No Money Down is not just a technique, but a mindset and way of life that allows investors to scale their property portfolio without using their own funds. The CREST model (Credibility, Return, Exit, Security, Trust) is crucial for raising money and building successful property deals. Having money can be a disadvantage in property investing, as it can lead to analysis paralysis and missed opportunities. Surrounding yourself with the right people and changing your environment is essential for success in property investing. There are numerous No Money Down techniques, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, and vendor finance, that can be used to acquire properties. Focus on creating passive income streams from property to fund lifestyle expenses, rather than relying on earned income from a job. BEST MOMENTS   "No money down doesn't mean no money. No money down is a way of life. No money down is a change of thinking." "I spent a bit of time doing what most people won't. So I can spend the rest of my life living how most people can't." "Most people make excuses instead of making money. And the thing is, you can only have one of them. It's which one you choose." "Money has never been the obstacle. It's all about the knowledge of what techniques to use and how."

Jamie joins Kevin on the podcast to talk about what prompted him to change his life and start investing in property. He shares the knowledge that has helped him build and grow his portfolio and also reveals why buy-to-let is his favourite property investing strategy. KEY TAKEAWAYS  After travelling to the USA Jamie realised that he needed to change the direction of his life. Once Jamie decided property investing would give him the lifestyle he wanted, he started doing two flips a year alongside his Dad whilst still working full-time. After a few years, Jamie and his Dad split the money they had made and Jamie started investing on his own. One of the negative sides of flipping properties is the waiting for the sale, it can take anything from weeks to months to complete. HMOs as an investment strategy can be a lot more maintenance and work than many people realise. You have to keep it at a high spec to continue to keep it at full capacity to generate the income you need. Jamie's next step is to move to the U.S and expand his business. Having a good social media presence means potential clients will already feel like they know you, there is a relationship being built before you even speak let alone approach making a deal. Positive procrastination can come from fear, it's better to just start the process of property investing, you don't need everything to be perfect to get started. BEST MOMENTS   "I decided that I would get into property someway, somehow” “I prefer to by-to-lets, I'm not overly keen on HMOs” “I didn't have a leg up, at all” 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.

Kevin shares his candid views on the upcoming UK election. For the first time ever, Kevin reveals he will be voting Conservative, explaining his reasoning and urging listeners to carefully consider their vote. With a potential property boom on the horizon, Kevin stresses the importance of making informed decisions both in the voting booth and in property investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Kevin believes voting for smaller parties is a wasted vote, as either Labour or Conservatives will ultimately win the election. Despite disliking both main parties, Kevin will vote Conservative as he believes they have a slightly better plan than Labour. The smartest economists work in the private sector, not in government, which contributes to the country's problems. A property crash is currently happening, with 1 in 4 people in mortgage arrears, but a massive property boom is expected to follow. The wealth gap will continue to grow as printed money during the pandemic has ended up with the wealthy, who will invest in assets like property. It's crucial for individuals to carefully consider their vote and make informed decisions about property investment. BEST MOMENTS   "If you vote and there's many people, and I've had this debate on social media this week with people where there's like, Oh, I'm going to vote reform or I'm going to vote liberal Democrats or I'm going to vote whatever.

Kevin is joined by wealth creation expert Kevin Whelan to discuss innovative strategies for building financial independence. From leveraging the power of SSAS pensions to exploring the seven pillars of wealth, Whelan shares eye-opening insights and practical advice that will inspire listeners to take control of their financial future. Tune in to discover how you can create multiple streams of recurring income and set yourself and your family up for generational wealth. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Wealth creation means generating multiple streams of recurring income to create life certainty in an uncertain world, not just for yourself but for the next generation. There are seven key assets you can use to build wealth: home equity, pension, investments, property portfolio, business, intellectual property, and joint ventures/collaborations. SAS pensions allow small business owners to take control of their pension funds, invest in various assets, and even lend money back to their own businesses for growth. Adding your spouse and children (once they turn 18) to your SSAS pension creates a powerful vehicle for tax-efficient contributions, wealth-building, and generational financial education. Intellectual property is a valuable asset that most people underutilise, you can find ways to repackage, repurpose, and redistribute your expertise to multiply your value. Joint ventures and collaborations allow you to combine different people's strengths, perspectives, and resources to ethically serve others and create wealth together. BEST MOMENTS   "Wealth only comes from the application of education plus commitment to take some action. You can't just learn, which is what most people will do." "SAS allows people to build wealth today, not wait for tomorrow." "We have the right and responsibility to educate our own children about money. They're going to live on average now to a hundred. So they're either going to have to get the lesson, otherwise, they're going to be working until they're 80." "One of the best things I ever did in 2016 was setting up my SSAS, my pension, my future for my kids."

Kev is joined by John and Sarah Crew who share their journey in property investing the past two years. This episode might just inspire you to get started or give you new ideas on what you can do with your property portfolio in your area. John and Sarah also talk about how important the network and knowledge gained from Progressive has been in their recent success. KEY TAKEAWAYS  On his days off as a firefighter, John began helping his builder friend. Sparked by an interest in their Victorian property, John and Sarah then began to renovate and used money they had saved to start their own buy, refurbish, refinance strategy. They first attended a progressive event in 2020 which made them realise they would need to use other people's money to build their portfolio. All locations have an abundance of property deals, you just have to learn how to find them. Build your profile in your area and network, if people know who you are and what you're looking for the deals will be easy to find. If you find good deals then finding an investor to back you won't be difficult. You are providing a valuable service. The purchase price of a property in BRR is one of the least important factors, the main focus is actually on the redevelopment value. John and Sarah are still working full time but this will change within the next two years when John and Sarah plan on both taking property investing on full time. The best time to start investing in property is right now. BEST MOMENTS   “We decided to use a bit of money we had to start the BRR strategy” “There are more deals out there than you could ever imagine” “I don't think necessarily you have to physically be everywhere but you have to put yourself out there and make sure people know what you're doing and what you're looking for” “It was quite a scary concept, using other people's money. Now we feel comfortable with that” “We're working towards something and nothing will get in our way” 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.

Alana joins Kev in this episode to talk about leaseholders and service charges. They discuss why this may be the next scandal and how the government, councils and owners can tackle the problem. They also talk about why new builds are never a good investment strategy as a house buyer and the inflated prices they charge. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Some developers are claiming the leasehold charges are for the upkeep of things like roads and playparks. Developers may build parks to get planning in areas that previously would be refused. These leasehold properties on new builds aren't transparent. Many house buyers are completely unaware of what they are buying into. Kev believes that these types of leasehold charges on new houses should be banned. We pay enough council tax that councils should be paying for roads, parks etc… New build houses are always sold for an inflated price. Legislation should be targeting the bad 5% of tenants and landlords, not the good 95%. Most current laws and legislation are hurting the good tenants and landlords. BEST MOMENTS   “New build developers are advising houses for sale but they are being sneaky” “This just screams dodgy to me” “You're almost living on a toll road when you move into one of these estates” “They're creating a legacy for generations to come” “It's kind of a legal-robbery” “95% of landlords are great but it's the 5% that give them a bad name” 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.
