Being a landlord isn't always about leases, rent checks, and property management—it's about people. In this deeply personal episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, host David Pickron and co-host Scot Aubrey discuss one of the hardest situations David has ever faced in over 30 years of landlording: evicting an elderly tenant who lost her home, her money, and possibly her ability to live independently.What do you do when your role as an investor collides with your heart as a human being? How do you balance compassion with protecting your property? When does helping cross into becoming a caretaker? This episode dives into the moral dilemmas landlords rarely talk about—from navigating Adult Protective Services to managing family estrangements, unpaid rent, and the crushing weight of being labeled “the villain” when tough decisions must be made.Whether you're a new landlord, a seasoned investor, or someone simply curious about the human side of property management, this story will challenge how you think about responsibility, compassion, and business. Share your thoughts in the comments—what would YOU have done?

Think you need a massive portfolio to reach financial freedom? Think again. In this episode, Chad Carson breaks down why “going big” isn't always the smartest move — and how a few great rentals can build serious wealth and give you your time back. You'll learn his “small and mighty” approach to real estate, how just three rentals could snowball into millions, and the mindset shift that helps investors achieve real freedom without burnout. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:30 - Do You Need To Build A Massive Portfolio?1:13 - A Case Study5:25 - An Example Of The Numbers Of Just 3 Rentals12:06 - The Takeaways15:33 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Chad Carsonhttps://www.instagram.com/CoachChadCarson Website: Chad Carsonhttps://www.coachcarson.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Simon explores the concept of turning "lead into gold" within property investment, a metaphor for acquiring a seemingly problematic or underperforming property and transforming it into a highly profitable asset.  The "lead" is often a property being sold by a retiring or struggling landlord who sees it as a burden, possibly due to low rents, maintenance issues, or a lack of creative strategy… KEY TAKEAWAYS Unlike investing in physical gold, which does not provide income, property investment offers both income and capital growth over the long term, and allows for the use of borrowed money (leverage). The phrase "turning lead into gold" refers to acquiring a property that is a problem for the existing landlord (the "lead") and using a fresh, creative strategy Many retiring or struggling landlords are not maximising their property's potential—often by keeping rents too low, neglecting maintenance, or only using a single, restrictive strategy The opportunity for new investors is to approach the property with a fresh pair of eyes, recognising ways to improve the standards, change the tenant type, or implement development strategies BEST MOMENTS "The big problem with gold is that you can hold it but it doesn't actually give you any income" "They're probably not maximising that property, not making the most out of it. Probably the rents are not as high as they could be... because if you've got a good tenant in the property, you're inclined to keep that tenant there." "They might have been investing for 20 years, but they might have just had one strategy and one way of using that property... That doesn't mean they know more than you."

Matteo Turi is a finance leader, investor, and board advisor who has spent nearly two decades working with businesses at pivotal moments of growth. A former CFO across biotech, SaaS, and renewable energy, he now brings the perspective of an M&A investor, currently overseeing $480M in acquisitions. Having sat on both sides of the table — scaling ventures as an operator and evaluating deals as a buyer — Matteo helps founders understand what makes a business truly attractive to investors. Watch video - https://youtu.be/YLg51IeHLvI In 2017, he created the Global Growth Blueprint to address a gap in entrepreneurial education: wealth creation. While much financial training focuses on managing capital, Matteo emphasizes building it — through monetizing intellectual property, succession and leadership planning, and global expansion. This approach has since evolved into The High Valuation Triangle, a model he applies to the five stages of business: startup, scale-up, stagnation, crisis, and exit. He shares these insights through The Exponential Blueprint newsletter, followed by over 22,000 founders, investors, and executives. In September 2025, he will launch its premium counterpart, The High Valuation Code, alongside his forthcoming book, Fail. Pivot. Scale.: Your High Valuation Code Revealed. Drawing on 21 case studies from household names like Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and Airbnb, the book shows how the most iconic companies turned failure into fuel, pivots into turning points, and scaling into unstoppable momentum. With lessons on recognizing the right kind of failure, pivoting without losing investors, and pulling the levers that accelerate valuation, Matteo equips entrepreneurs with a practical playbook for breaking through growth barriers.

In this episode of WealthTalk, Christian Rodwell is joined by Omar Aswat, Chartered Tax Adviser and founder of ASWATAX, to unpack the urgent changes coming to Business Property Relief (BPR) in April 2026 and what they mean for business owners and property investors. Omar explains how the new BPR limits could expose significant business value to inheritance tax, highlights the practical steps you should be taking now, and delves into strategies like family investment companies, trusts, and smart incorporation. The discussion also covers the impact of Section 24 on landlords, practical tax-saving tips for business owners, and succession planning tools for those looking to future-proof their wealth. Whether you're scaling a business, building a property portfolio, or planning your exit, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you stay ahead of the curve.Key TakeawaysMajor Change to Business Property Relief (BPR) in 2026From April 6, 2026, BPR will only exempt £1 million of value per trading company/group from inheritance tax (IHT); any value above will be taxed at 20%.Urgent need for business owners to review structures and plan ahead.Who Is Affected?Owners of trading companies/groups with assets above £1 million.Property investment companies already subject to IHT—this rule change doesn't benefit or worsen their position.Mitigation & Planning StrategiesFamily investment companies (FICs)Growth and freezer sharesDiscretionary trustsGifting, sale acceleration, and succession planningCase-by-case: bespoke advice is essentialSection 24 & Incorporation for Property InvestorsSection 24 restricts mortgage interest relief for personally held property; incorporation can offer tax savings but must be weighed against capital gains and stamp duty costs.Comparative calculations are vital before transferring property into a company.Inheritance Tax Allowances Explained£325,000 nil-rate band per person, plus £175,000 residence nil-rate band (if passing main home to direct descendants).Married couples can combine for up to £1 million, but the rules are technical and not inflation-linked.Family Investment Companies (FICs)FICs provide flexibility in dividend planning, control, and succession.Can be set up new or by converting existing companies; often used in combination with trusts for asset protection.Smart Moves for Business OwnersAlphabet shares for flexible dividend planning.Utilise directors' loan accounts, charge rent for company premises owned personally, and salary sacrifice schemes.SSAS pensions remain a powerful, underused tool.Planning for Exit or SaleEarly, proactive planning is essential—some reliefs require shares to be held for 24+ months.Options: third-party sale, management buyout, employee ownership trust (EOT), company purchase of own shares, or new holding company.EOTs: allow sale for 0% CGT if structured correctly, but success depends on a strong management team post-sale.Omar's Experience & PodcastOver a decade in finance, founder of ASWATAX (Leicester & London).Hosts “Talking Tax Podcast,” covering EOTs, IHT, R&D, and more.Contact DetailsWebsite: www.aswatax.co.ukEmail: omar@aswatax.co.uk or taxadvisory@aswatax.co.ukPractical TipsDon't delay—review your business and property structures now ahead of April 2026.Always seek bespoke, specialist advice before making structural tax decisions.Consider both current and future family/succession needs in your planning.Use comparative calculations to assess incorporation or restructuring benefits.Mention WealthBuilders if contacting Omar for tailored support.Resources MentionedJoin the Inheritance Tax Guide WaitlistWT103 - Employee Ownership Trusts w/ Chris BuddWT295 - The Exit Roadmap: How to Sell Your Business for Maximum Value w/ Chris SpratlingConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.For more inspiring stories and actionable tips, subscribe to Wealth Talk and leave us a review!Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey: Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review WealthTalk on your favourite podcast platform
