Podcasts about refurbish

A council decision on the proposal could come in July, which would add 659 for-sale units and tackle maintenance.

Simon explores how property investors can maximise their returns by acquiring multiple properties using the same capital typically required for a single investment.  He breaks down the limitations of traditional buy-to-let strategies and the popular BRRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent, Repeat) method, specifically highlighting how rising renovation costs and delays can slow your momentum. Introducing his pioneering Property Funding Formula, Simon explains how securing a deep discount from a motivated seller combined with same-day refinancing allows you to buy two properties for the price of one, vastly accelerating your portfolio growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional property investing requires waiting years for capital growth before you can refinance and purchase your next property. While the BRRRR method speeds up portfolio growth, it demands significant upfront cash and leaves you vulnerable to rising renovation costs and contractor reliability. Engaging with truly motivated sellers allows you to secure ethical, win-win deals at a substantial discount without needing a distressed property that requires heavy refurbishment. The Property Funding Formula utilises private bridging loans and pre-arranged same-day refinancing to cut your required upfront cash in half, enabling you to purchase two properties with the funds normally needed for one. BEST MOMENTS "Ideally, we do that by minimising the amount of money we put into any property, which means we have more money to buy more properties, which means we can quickly grow our portfolio." "When you find a truly motivated seller, take the time to find out what the problem is and come up with an ethical, win-win solution for them, you would be amazed at how flexible sellers can be." "Using this method, you can actually put 50% less cash down upfront, which means you could buy two properties like this with the money normally required to buy one." "No one else is teaching this because it is one of my pioneering innovations."

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a misunderstood socialite or a victim of circumstance—she is a convicted child trafficker who played a central role in one of the most grotesque abuse networks in modern history. Despite overwhelming evidence, multiple survivor testimonies, and a guilty verdict, there is a growing effort—from media figures like Greg Kelly to outlets like Newsmax—to subtly rehabilitate her image, casting her as either a reformed figure or a potential source of truth. This revisionism is not only insulting to survivors, but it also signals a broader campaign to erase accountability and soften the reality of what Maxwell did. Her actions weren't peripheral—they were essential to the machinery of Epstein's exploitation, and any attempt to paint her as anything less than complicit is an act of betrayal.The Department of Justice floating the idea of using Maxwell as a cooperative witness only compounds the insult, suggesting the same system that failed to protect victims for years now wants to prop up one of their abusers as an instrument of justice. This is not accountability—it's legacy management dressed in a badge. Anyone involved in this whitewashing campaign, whether in government or media, becomes an enabler by default. The line is clear: you either stand with the survivors and the truth, or you stand with the cover-up. And if you choose to rehabilitate Ghislaine Maxwell in any form, you've chosen your side—and it is not justice.to contact me:bbbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Simon welcomes back Timothy Witt and Phil Bygrave, the only guests to appear twice on the show. They discuss their newly released book, "Financial Freedom: The BDRR Property Evolution," which aims to guide property investors through the complexities of adding value to properties in today's market.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The book "Financial Freedom" is aimed at individuals who are looking to undertake significant renovation projects to add value to properties, particularly those who have a mindset geared towards property investment. The traditional BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy has evolved into the BDRR (Buy, Develop, Refurbish, Rent) approach, reflecting the increased complexity of property development due to stricter regulations and compliance requirements. A critical aspect of successful property investment is understanding and managing financing correctly. Many investors make mistakes in this area, which can hinder their ability to move forward with deals. Continuous education and having a coach are essential for success in property investment. They help investors recognise blind spots and provide guidance through the complexities of property development. BEST MOMENTS "It's really for people who are, their mindset isn't in the right place. We do talk a little bit on strategy and purpose, but really it's about the nuances of why what used to be a simple BRR strategy is now more complicated." "The number of times we talk to somebody and say, right, who's the most important person? And they say, oh, it's the builder. Well, the builder is the last person in the process." "If you're going to spend that money, you know, get the coach, get the education, read the book, get the systems and processes in place and spend that time up front." "When people are fearful, be greedy. Yes. And people are fearful. They are, definitely. So now is the time."

There's no expectation for rent spikes in the next year or so, but they remain at elevated levels compared to pre-pandemic.Exit Strategies & HMO X: The UK's first auction house dedicated solely to HMOsSelling & Valuation Advice: Selling a boutique or newly developed HMO straight away isn't always profitable, especially if it was over-spec'd or over-leveraged. Proper valuation, realistic expectations, and medium-term planning are crucial.Social Housing Considerations: Transitioning HMOs to social housing use is not a value-adding strategy. It's essential to ensure compliance with mortgage terms and insurance.·       Keys to Success Now: Professionalization is essential—landlords need to optimize their properties, closely manage running costs, maintain high standards, and focus sharply on tenant demand to maintain margins and avoid pitfalls in a tougher, more regulated market.KeywordsHMO market, houses of multiple occupation, HMO valuation, HMO auctions, HMO X, UK property investment, remote property investors, Liz Truss budget, post-Covid property market, HMO lending, overseas HMO investors, capital gains tax landlords, stamp duty surcharge, buy-to-let alternatives, BRR model, commercial to residential conversion, Article 4 direction, gross yield HMOs, boutique HMOs, rent roll, HMO exit strategies, property health check, tenant demand assessment, new build HMO premium, property maintenance, social housing leases, Serco/ Mears/ Clea rsprings, mortgage compliance, legal pack for HMOs, energy efficiency in H

Ghislaine Maxwell is not a misunderstood socialite or a victim of circumstance—she is a convicted child trafficker who played a central role in one of the most grotesque abuse networks in modern history. Despite overwhelming evidence, multiple survivor testimonies, and a guilty verdict, there is a growing effort—from media figures like Greg Kelly to outlets like Newsmax—to subtly rehabilitate her image, casting her as either a reformed figure or a potential source of truth. This revisionism is not only insulting to survivors, but it also signals a broader campaign to erase accountability and soften the reality of what Maxwell did. Her actions weren't peripheral—they were essential to the machinery of Epstein's exploitation, and any attempt to paint her as anything less than complicit is an act of betrayal.The Department of Justice floating the idea of using Maxwell as a cooperative witness only compounds the insult, suggesting the same system that failed to protect victims for years now wants to prop up one of their abusers as an instrument of justice. This is not accountability—it's legacy management dressed in a badge. Anyone involved in this whitewashing campaign, whether in government or media, becomes an enabler by default. The line is clear: you either stand with the survivors and the truth, or you stand with the cover-up. And if you choose to rehabilitate Ghislaine Maxwell in any form, you've chosen your side—and it is not justice.to contact me:bbbycapucci@protonmail.com

Simon examines the concept of creative finance investing, emphasising strategies that allow investors to minimise their cash input while maximising returns. He covers historical methods of no money down investing, the importance of finding motivated sellers, and various creative strategies such as joint ventures, private loans, and the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy. Simon also introduces the innovative freehold to leasehold title split strategy, explaining how investors can create significant equity through legal processes.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Creative finance involves using minimal or no personal money in property deals, allowing investors to maximise the number of deals they can undertake and achieve high or infinite returns on investment. Investors can collaborate with others through joint ventures or private loans, where someone else provides the necessary funds for a deal, enabling the investor to acquire properties without using their own money. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy allows investors to buy properties below market value, add value through renovations, and then refinance to recover their initial investment, often resulting in a positive cash flow and equity. Successful property investing relies on identifying motivated sellers who are flexible on price and terms. Understanding their problems and offering win-win solutions can lead to favourable deals. BEST MOMENTS "Creative finance is where we use as little of your money as possible. And why is that a good thing to do? Well, it means that you can do as many deals as you want." "If you believe you can or can't, you're absolutely right. And one of the ways to build your belief is by learning what other people are doing." "You can take control of the property... and in the meantime, you rent the property from the owner. This is great for a seller who really doesn't want the property anymore." "When you buy a freehold property, if you create the leases on the individual properties within that block, the cumulative value is often more than you can actually buy the block for."

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."

Simon discusses property investment strategies with Ian and Laura Sheldrake, a couple who have successfully transitioned from traditional property ventures to more lucrative opportunities. As busy doctors with three young children, they share their journey of learning and growth through the Mastermind program, where they focused on the BRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) to replace their income.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Investing in property education can significantly shorten the learning curve and help avoid costly mistakes. The experience gained from structured programs can lead to more effective strategies and better decision-making. Utilising other people's money and expertise can enhance investment opportunities. Transitioning from a homeowner mindset to an investor mindset allows for greater financial growth and collaboration. Adopting a modern method of auction with extended completion times provides security for both buyers and sellers. This approach allows for better planning and reduces the stress associated with traditional sales. Managing multiple projects simultaneously rather than completing one before starting another can accelerate growth. This strategy allows for more efficient use of time and resources, leading to increased cash flow. BEST MOMENTS "We recognised that there was an opportunity cost in that process... our time could be better used." "The belief of what you're believing what you think can be achieved has been a huge change." "I thought, well, that's very nice. But you know, I'm sensible. I'm not gonna be silly." "We went into it with a homeowner mindset and we've come out of it with an investor mindset." "It's just been a really enjoyable experience... we've both learnt a lot and grown a lot through the process."

There was once a time, not too long ago,  when you could walk into a young working professional's rented home in a tier-1 city, and all the furniture would look pretty familiar. About a decade ago, everyone and their uncle was renting furniture from the two OG rental platforms Rentomojo and Furlenco. It just made sense. When Rentomojo and Furlenco were launched about a decade ago, they were like an answer to a lot of people's prayers. It was a great deal – your fridge, washing machine, king sized bed and more would be delivered right at your doorstep. Use them for as long as you need, and return them when you are done. Cut to 2024, and things have changed. They are struggling to stay relevant. Tune in.

Welcome back to the Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River!  Host Charlie Malouf sits down to talk with Sam Thevanayagam, also known as Sam T. Sam, who owns two companies in the defense space, speaks about the vital role of purpose in his work. He emphasizes that his businesses, Parts Life and DeVal Lifecycle Support, are dedicated to supporting the U.S. warfighter by extending the life of critical defense equipment through remanufacturing and repair. This not only safeguards national security but also ensures fiscal responsibility by reducing the need for new acquisitions.  Sam's personal mission statement is to create environments where others can achieve their God-given potential, and he highlights how his faith and stewardship are integrated into his work culture. The conversation also delves into Sam's journey from working in a Philadelphia manufacturing company to starting his own businesses in 2007. Facing initial challenges and setbacks, particularly during the Great Recession, Sam pivoted to the defense industry and landed small contracts that eventually led to larger, more critical projects. He shares a touching story of transforming a person's life (who was released from prison for a welding work program) by offering him a second chance through employment, symbolizing the broader impact of his company's mission.  Sam wraps up by discussing his upcoming breakout session titled "Running with Scissors," which focuses on risk mitigation, and to be able to ultimately take care of others.  Additional Resources:  Sam's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/samthevanayagam/   Sam T Network Page - https://www.samtnetwork.com/   Parts Life, Inc. - https://www.partslifeinc.com/   DeVal Life Cycle Support - https://www.devallcs.com/   This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IAs3mpBANug  Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.  This show is brought to you by Broad River Retail.

For years now, the Nampa Bicycle Project has been giving back to the community and now they've partnered with another group who is looking to help them with their mission.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 11, 2024 is: refurbish • rih-FER-bish • verb To refurbish something is to brighten or freshen it up, or to repair and make improvements to it. // They are refurbishing the old house with the hopes of selling it for a profit. // The store refurbishes and sells computers that can often meet the needs of those who don't need the latest technology. See the entry > Examples: "The city of San Diego is tasked with completing the building and replanting the interior plants, which are currently in storage. Meanwhile, the city's not-for-profit partner Forever Balboa Park is responsible for financing and completing phase-two improvements. Those include remaking the exterior gardens, improving walkways, reconstructing the pergola that was on the west lawn and refurbishing the fountains." — Jennifer Van Grove, The San Diego Union-Tribune, 17 Jan. 2024 Did you know? As seems proper given how English prefixes work, before you could refurbish something you could furbish it. That shorter word was borrowed into Middle English in the 14th century from Anglo-French as furbisshen; it shares a distant relative with the Old High German verb furben, meaning "to polish." In its earliest uses furbish also meant "to polish," but it developed an extended sense of "to renovate" shortly before English speakers created refurbish with the same meaning in the 17th century. These days refurbish is the more common of the two words, although furbish does continue to be used.

As a woman moves down a passageway, many hands reach out to touch her. (Omega Symbol) If you keep moving forward, guiding and helping forces will reach out to assist you. There may as well be other forces which will attempt to retard and stop you, but this, too, is good, for it gives you the chance to confront your shadow self, and hence to understanding yourself in a much more complete way. This degree is highly sensitive to anything which might try to stop it or encourage it, and is utterly intent on reaching its destiny.The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A stately old house in a ruined condition.” The house may be refurbished, and either updated, or restored in accordance with the historical period in which it was built, or it may torn down, or simply left alone. It is interesting that of these four possibilities there is a tendency for many people to think of them as moral imperatives – that something SHOULD be done, in a certain way. The fact is, the house can be appreciated for what it is, or it can be changed.The past is the same way – we can appreciate it and accept it for what it is, or we can actually change it, by freeing ourselves from its influence. Whatever we choose to do we will find that as we move through the passageway of time, as the woman in the Omega Symbol is doing, hands will reach out to touch us – to encourage us in our forward movement, or to try to stop us and hold us back. And the interesting thing is that often the hands trying to help us are the ones that are actually holding us back, and the ones seemingly trying to hold us back are found eventually to be the ones that help us forward.We are always free to respond to this however we want, and are always free, also, to change are responses over time. At its highest this degree is almost completely non-judgmental and willing in every instance to try to chose the way that leads to the highest good for all."

On tomorrow's ag business episode we are profiling a family business with a long legacy of building saddles for the regular market and for custom customers.  This is a business that is so interesting for the folks who want to live in the world of horses. Of course with saddle ownership comes saddle maintenance, and sometimes it is easier to outsource that work.  So, I thought for today's re-cap episode it would make sense to go back to this interview that I did with Sarah Banowetz talking about her small business bringing old saddles back to life.
