The team discusses the building blocks that help create financial freedom, emphasising the importance of mindset, discipline, and perseverance in achieving long-term wealth.

He is a huge advocate of having multiple streams of income. He has written a number of business books and regularly contributes articles to mainstream media outlets.

Shaz discusses the importance of creating a second or additional source of income. He highlights the dangers of relying solely on one income stream, whether it be from a business or employment.

Shaz emphasises the need to diversify risk and shares the potential pitfalls of being overly reliant on one key employee or client. He then delves into the strategy of buying a business to create a second income, without using any of your own money. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Relying on one source of income in a business is risky, as any disruption or loss can have a significant impact on the business's stability and profitability.
• Diversifying sources of income is important to mitigate risks and create a more stable financial situation. This can be achieved through investments, buying additional businesses, or creating passive income streams.

BEST MOMENTS

"Landlords get labeled as money grabbing, evil, blah, blah, blah. It's always the landlord's problem. It's not the landlord, it's the government. They've forced this into the marketplace, whether it's intended, unintended, don't want to go into that. They've created this situation and then you take responsibility for it." 

"I think everyone should be able to get themselves into a position where they can own their own home." 

"I don't see that being a bad thing at all. We'll see how that how that comes into effect and the scrapping the presumption for leaseholders to pay their freeholders legal costs when challenging this poor practice."

Shaz is committed to helping business owners build successful businesses. Having conducted over 3,000 business growth consultations he has helped his clients generate millions in additional profits. His purpose is to inspire business owners to build businesses that are hugely profitable and sustainable.

He is a huge advocate of having multiple streams of income. He has written a number of business books and regularly contributes articles to mainstream media outlets.

Shaz and Kieron debunk several myths surrounding money and wealth, looking at the importance of understanding the reality of money and wealth, rather than relying on misconceptions and false beliefs.

They challenge the notion that money is the root of all evil, highlighting that it is the love of money and greed that can lead to negative actions. Shaz also discusses the misconception that all debt is bad, explaining that debt can be a tool for generating cash flow and investing in appreciating assets. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Money is not the root of all evil: The common phrase "money is the root of all evil" is often misinterpreted. The actual phrase is "the love of money is the root of all evil." Money itself is just a tool and how it is used depends on the individual's values and mindset.
• It's not about the amount of money you have, but how you manage it. Good debt, strategic investments, and wise financial decisions can help you grow your wealth and achieve financial success.
• Waiting for the perfect moment to invest or take action may lead to missed opportunities. Instead, focus on making informed decisions and adapting as needed. Timing is not always crucial, and it's better to start sooner rather than later.
• While cash provides liquidity, it may not generate significant returns. Investing in assets that generate cash flow or appreciating assets can be more beneficial in the long run, even if they are less liquid.

BEST MOMENTS

"Money isn't the root of all evil, that is a myth." 

"Money exaggerates who you are, if you're a nice person, you'll become an even nicer person." 

"Money can't buy happiness, it can only buy temporary moments of happiness." 

"Debt, like money, is a tool. If used correctly, it can be used to generate cash flow and appreciating assets." VALUABLE RESOURCES

They discuss the alarming amount of lost money in the UK, estimated at £50 billion, due to a lack of communication and planning around intergenerational wealth, and stress the importance of having open conversations with parents and grandparents about their assets and investments to avoid unnecessary taxes and missed opportunities.

Shaz and Kieron delve into the origins of money and its evolution throughout history, focussing upon the importance of understanding the history of money in order to gain valuable insights and lessons that can be applied to various aspects of life.

From the barter system to the development of standardised coins and the transition to fiat money, the team explore how money has been used as a means of exchange and a tool for wealth creation, and discuss the concept of money as a tool and how it can be used to invest, accumulate wealth, and achieve financial goals. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Understanding the history of money is important because it provides insights into the fundamental concepts and principles that still apply today.

Shaz and Kieron delve into the world of marketing and how it can be used to create wealth. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding marketing, focussing on the fact that it is simply a transfer of information and a way to satisfy customers' needs. They highlight the importance of understanding one's target audience and crafting compelling copy that evokes emotions. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Marketing is about exchanging value: Marketing is not about scams or deception, but rather about providing something of value to customers in exchange for their money. It is a transfer of information and a way to satisfy customers' needs.
• Marketing is about mindset: Marketing is not just about promoting products or services, but also about creating a mindset in others. It is about influencing people's thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours to align with your own.
• Good copywriting is essential in marketing. It is important to spend time crafting compelling headlines and copy that evokes emotions and resonates with your target audience. The right words can make a significant impact on the success of your marketing efforts.
• It is important to track and measure the response to your marketing campaigns. This includes monitoring open rates, click-through rates, and other metrics to understand what is working and what needs improvement.

BEST MOMENTS

"Marketing is all about mindset and creating a mindset in others. My mindset is the growth mindset, wealth mindset, all the rest of it" 

"Marketing is about delivering and exchanging value that satisfies somebody else's needs that you hold and they want. It's a fair and honest exchange." 

"You've got to spend your money to make sure you get some kind of return. Marketing is just another form of communication and it's about delivering and exchanging value that satisfies somebody else's needs."

Shaz and Kieron delve into the complex and often misunderstood world of taxes, discussing the various factors that determine how much tax an individual should pay, and highlighting the importance of understanding one's specific situation and goals. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The tax system is complex and poorly understood, requiring the expertise of professionals to navigate effectively.
• There are numerous tax reliefs, exemptions, and allowances available that can significantly reduce one's tax burden if utilised properly.
• It is within an individual's rights and obligations to structure their tax affairs in a way that minimises their tax liability, as long as it is done legally and in accordance with the tax code.

Shaz and Kieron discuss the concept of good debt and bad debt, exploring the difference between the two and provide their own perspectives on the matter.

They highlight that debt can be viewed differently by individuals based on their personal beliefs and values, and discussing various types of debt, including mortgage debt, student loans, and business loans for growth, which they consider to be examples of good debt. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Good debt can be beneficial in the long term, such as mortgage debt that allows for property ownership and potential appreciation.
• Student loans can be considered good debt as they enable individuals to obtain higher education and qualify for higher-paying jobs.
• Business loans for growth can be a form of good debt, as they provide funding for investments that can lead to business expansion and increased profitability.
• Bad debt includes high-interest credit card debt used for non-essential purchases, payday loans with exorbitant interest rates, and non-asset backed personal loans used for frivolous expenses.

BEST MOMENTS

"The truth's somewhere in the middle, like most things." 

"If you're taking a loan to meet your expenditure, there's a problem." 

"It is akin to indentured servitude. It is modern slavery."

The team delve into the topic of money, specifically cash and its potential decline in our society. They explore the concept of a cashless society and discuss whether cash still holds value and has a place in our modern world.

They also touch on the benefits of cash, such as privacy, accessibility, and control, while acknowledging its drawbacks, including the risk of theft and the environmental impact of producing physical currency. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cash provides privacy and control over one's finances, as transactions are not easily traceable and can be kept confidential between the parties involved.

Cash is accessible to everyone, regardless of their access to banking services or personal preferences. It allows for inclusion and is widely understood across different cultures and countries.

Cash transactions can be faster and more efficient compared to card transactions, especially for smaller purchases. It eliminates the need for card readers, PINs, and potential technical issues.

Cash can help prevent fraud, as there is less risk of unauthorised transactions or identity theft. However, it can also be more susceptible to theft or loss if physical cash is stolen.

BEST MOMENTS

"Cash came along and then everybody agreed that this has an implied value and then it just made transactions so much easier." 

"Cash is diminishing… The amount of places I go to says card only." 

"Cash is king… Cash flow is king." 

"Cash promotes inclusion… It doesn't matter where you go, people understand cash."

In this episode of Wealth Made Simple, the team discuss the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on businesses and wealth generation. They explore the different levels of AI, from narrow AI to generative AI, and how companies are already using automation and AI tools to enhance their operations and add value to their customers. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• AI can provide access to a wealth of information and research, allowing individuals to learn about different industries and make informed decisions.

BEST MOMENTS

"What AI does is it gives you speed and to some extent, accuracy, which is obviously improving, and it gives you a higher level of outcome."

"If you ask, for example, what is a piece of paper? A piece of paper is an item that you buy from a shop. Well, I should have been more specific in my question."

In this episode of Wealth Made Simple, Shaz and Kieron delve into the fascinating world of AI (Artificial Intelligence). They begin by dispelling common misconceptions about AI, such as the fear of robots taking over, and provide an overview of the different levels of AI, from narrow AI to artificial superintelligence. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• AI encompasses various levels of intelligence, ranging from narrow AI to artificial superintelligence. Narrow AI refers to AI systems designed for specific tasks, while artificial superintelligence represents AI systems with human-like cognitive abilities.
• The potential benefits of AI are immense, including solving complex problems, advancing scientific research, and revolutionizing society. However, there are also ethical concerns and risks associated with the development of superintelligence.
• Narrow AI is the current level of AI that exists, and it is highly specialized and limited to specific tasks. Examples include voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, as well as chatbots and spam filters.
• AI can be a valuable tool for reducing research time and improving productivity and efficiency. However, it is crucial to sense check and verify the information provided by AI, as it can generate false or inaccurate results if not properly trained or guided.

BEST MOMENTS

In this episode of Wealth Made Simple, we delve into the topic of bankruptcy, discussing its implications for both individuals and companies. We highlight the importance of exploring all available options and seeking help as a responsible approach to one's financial situation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Bankruptcy is a legal status that individuals and companies can apply for when they are unable to repay their debts within the UK. It is often seen as a last resort for insolvent entities that cannot meet their financial obligations.
• When someone files for bankruptcy, they usually do so voluntarily by submitting a petition to the court. The court assesses their financial position and if deemed insolvent, a trustee is appointed to oversee the bankruptcy process. The trustee's role is to manage the debtor's assets and distribute them among the creditors.
• Bankruptcy has significant consequences, including the sale of assets to repay debts, restrictions on obtaining credit or starting new businesses, and potential consequences for directors in holding similar roles in other companies in the future.
• Bankruptcy should not be taken lightly and seeking professional advice is essential. Exploring all available options and understanding the implications of each option is crucial before making a decision.

BEST MOMENTS

"Bankruptcy is a legal status that you can apply for when you are unable to repay your debts within the UK."

"Bankruptcy is a very serious step. And I would say anyone that's looking into this seek professional advice."

"Bankruptcy provides a fresh start by eliminating most of your unsecured debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans, things like that."

"Being bankrupt is a whole new start. It's going to be hard. It's going to hurt. And it's not something you necessarily want to experience at all."

In this episode of Wealth Made Simple, we discuss the process of starting a property business or any business in general. The focus is on beginner-friendly strategies, steps to take when venturing into entrepreneurship, and the potential rewards and the ability to pursue one's passion in the long run.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Decide to start: Many people have good business ideas but never take action. The first step is to make the decision to start and take action towards your goals.

Define your goals and strategy: Before diving into a business, clarify your objectives and what you want to achieve. Choose a business or property strategy that aligns with your interests and passion.

Conduct thorough research: Understand the market you are entering and gather information about competitors, industry trends, and potential risks. This will help you make informed decisions and develop a deeper understanding of your chosen field.

Create a comprehensive business plan: Develop a detailed plan that outlines your objectives, financial projections, marketing strategies, operational processes, and a roadmap for the future. Having a well-defined plan will guide your actions and make it easier to track progress.

Shaz talks about Grade 2 listed buildings. Host Shaz Nawaz, an award-winning chartered accountant and property investor, shares his love for these historic buildings and dispels the notion that they are overly complicated to work with. He emphasises the beauty and architectural significance of Grade 2 listed buildings and highlights the potential investment opportunities they offer. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Grade 2 listed buildings offer a unique investment opportunity due to their historical and architectural significance. They can be attractive to buyers and renters alike.

Working on grade 2 listed buildings requires a different approach and careful consideration of the building's infrastructure and features. It is important to work closely with the local authority and obtain listed building consent before starting any work.

The maintenance of grade 2 listed buildings should be factored into the costs. Using the right materials and ensuring compliance with regulations is crucial. Ignorance is not an excuse, and failure to comply can result in costly consequences.

Grade 2 listed buildings may not be able to meet the government's energy efficiency requirements, such as achieving an EPC rating of grade C by 2028. Exemptions may be possible, but it may require compensating in other areas to meet the overall energy efficiency standards.

It is advisable to work with experienced professionals, such as specialist builders or mentors, when working on grade 2 listed buildings. Their expertise can help navigate the unique challenges and ensure a successful project.

BEST MOMENTS

"They don't make them like they used to, Shaz."

"You've got to make sure you get listed building consent before you start work and make sure you know what you can, what you can't change."

"Sometimes the big stuff is you think here there's no real reason, you know, but most of the not, to be fair to councils, most of them are the eye-finding exposure with both for my clients and myself."

"But if you're going through a grade two listed building, some things you can't change. Key features like the windows a lot of the time, you can't change doors, you can't change."

"Enjoy the competitive advantage you get of being one of the few people that will go through great listed greater listed buildings and look to work with them, work on them."

Shaz discusses the importance of asking the right questions when buying a property, whether it's for investment or personal use. He emphasises the need to go beyond simply liking a property and delves into the research and inquiries that should be made to ensure a successful purchase. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When buying a property, it is important to ask the right questions to gather necessary information. This includes asking about the seller's motivation for selling, how long the property has been on the market, and if there have been any price changes.

It is beneficial to research the local area and any development plans or planning applications that may affect the property.

In commercial properties, consider breaking up the space to attract multiple tenants and increase rental income. Additionally, explore options such as service offices or shared offices to optimize space utilization.

Negotiating lease agreements with potential tenants requires careful consideration of factors such as rent, tenure, break clauses, who pays for what, planning permission, and insurance.

It is important to ask about any potential issues with the property, such as damp problems, neighbors, energy efficiency, water pressure, and parking availability. Additionally, clarify what is included in the sale to avoid any surprises.

BEST MOMENTS

"A good negotiation is one where both parties walk away unhappy."

"You can't rip somebody off if you're saying I'm selling this pen for a pound, I'm saying I'll give you 50 pence and you agree to sell it."

"If you can get a good deal that works for both of you, you've probably got it about right."

"You need to run the numbers. What are your outgoings on that property? What profit yield are you getting?"

"Ask the seller if they've already bought a new home or found a new home because that can delay the process."

We often hear that in order to achieve real success and grow, we need to step outside of our comfort zones - but where do the boundaries lie? In this episode, Shaz talks about why it's vital to know where your comfort zone is, and how to get the best from stepping outside.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your comfort zone is the habitual zone in which you spend your time - it is where you feel most at ease and you have mastery over all that you do.
• If you stay in your comfort zone, you remove the special growth you can find in variation. It's fine to be happy there if that's what you want, but if you want to grow, you have to move.
• Even small, incremental changes can provide huge wins. You don't have to radically change your life - just look for small ways to improve.

BEST MOMENTS

'Anything that's new, different, challenging, that takes you outside of your comfort zone, makes you afraid and fearful'

'They've found what really works for them, They have peace'

'That's the exception rather than the rule'

There are many generalisations and stereotypes out there, with certain assumptions made about the state of things - but why do we do it? In this episode, Shaz and Kieron explain why generalisations are so often used.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Generalisations and assumptions are a shortcut way for our brains to understand something. If we have a starting point about what to think, it gives us a starting point.
• If we subconsciously drift through our days and use generalisations as our pathfinders, we fail to take advantage of the many opportunities that await.

BEST MOMENTS

'The speed of thought is faster than you think it is'

'It depends on how we perceive somebody and see them'

Shaz discusses exit planning, and how it is one of the most important parts of not just closing out your time in a business, but also one of the fundamental parts of setting up a business at the beginning.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Exit planning is the act of thinking about how we will move on from what we are doing. This means setting in place a time frame, and a methodology for doing so.
• Many do not consider the perfect exit, because it seems so far away. However, if you have the end goal in mind from the beginning, you can better shape the future for yourself.
• Designing the perfect exit means learning how to maximise the value of your business, eliminate the parts that don't work, and ensure that it can be a profitable concern for someone else, going forward.

BEST MOMENTS

'How do I now pass this on to the next generation?'

'It's a bit like handing your notice in'

'How do we strategically get to the end goal that we set in the leanest, quickest, best way possible'

We often hear the term "power team" when it comes to property investing, but what does it mean, and how can assembling a power team do for your investing path to success? In this episode, Shaz breaks down everything you need to know about putting your power team in place!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can't possibly know everything when it comes to property investing, so surrounding yourself with a reliable group of people with specialised skill sets allows you to empower yourself in every aspect.
• Property relies on large transactions to work. it's a complicated process. Therefore, why would you NOT want to surround yourself with the best information, and the most efficient ways of working?
• The best way to find the best people is through referrals, and asking the right questions to the right people. Quality will make itself known.

BEST MOMENTS

'You don't know what you don't know'

Shaz discusses the state of the economy in the property sector, and how the inflation rises and interest rates are affecting investors and homeowners in the UK today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Printing money in order to prop up the economy will always have after effects, and inflation is demonstrating that for us all right now.
• The economy is non-reactive in terms of when something happens, the effects can sometimes not be felt until much later, when the impacts land more unexpectedly.
• Don't look at the short term, be cautious, sensible and think about the long term effects of any financial decision you make. In the end, property will always go up in value in the long term.

BEST MOMENTS

'What goes up must come down'

'In 2016 we were still feeling the effects of the 2008 property crash'

'Be more cautious and sensible'

People should be more open to changing their minds when it comes to business, and in this episode, Shaz tells you why that's a good thing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In almost all cases, there's a better way of doing something. If we have a closed mindset, then we will fail to take advantage of these opportunities.
• if you have an open mindset about improving and doing things in a better way, you will allow yourself to broaden your horizons.
• Businesses that proclaim that their practices are ingrained because they've "always done things this way", can often find themselves at a loss when asked to explain why this is.

Shaz discusses what it takes to drive growth in your property business, scale to the next level, and achieve the life-changing results you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Growth begins with a stripped back view of the essentials and basics in your property empire. Sometimes, the layers we add along the way can obfuscate the view we need to have.
• Implement systems and processes that will allow your business to operate without you in it. If that can take place, then you can focus on the growth while the profits still roll in.
• Business owners and entrepreneurs are people who work incredibly hard and diligently, but they also work as smart as possible. Never waste effort.

BEST MOMENTS

'We start with the foundations'

'You need to have a cookie-cutter process'

'Make the best use of every moment that you have'

Shaz discusses the growth mindset you need in order to take the best advantage of every learning opportunity the world provides.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• As we continue to grow and develop in the world around us, it helps if we consciously activate our growth mindset and see everything as a learning opportunity.
• When you don't know enough about something, you can feel as though you know enough to do enough, which prevents you from growth.
• When we transform and grow in terms of mindset, the changes come thick and fast. It's not an overnight process. It takes longer than we may believe.

'Having a growth mindset will help you evolve within yourself'

'You know enough to be dangerous'

Shaz talks once more about the traits that attract money, including renting and why a mindset shift is required, and how to effectively manage your credit levels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People aspire to owning their own property and to add property to their legacy and assets list. Shifting from owning to renting seems like a backward step, but it doesn't have to be.
• If the numbers work, then renting a home while leasing out your bought home to pay bills is a strategy that should definitely be considered.
• Paying off credit and lowering the amount of interest you have to find each month will save you huge sums every year.

BEST MOMENTS

'This is a big mindset shift for a lot of people'

'This can make a difference of thousands of pounds'

'Money likes adaptability'

Shaz discusses the value of thorough research, and why we should always do our due diligence and put the effort in when it comes to fact finding in the modern world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People seem to spend as little time as possible in gaining the answers they seek, largely due to the internet and free access to information. But we should always be doing our due diligence when it comes to fact finding.
• Effort should always be applied to any task. You have to put in the hard graft when you want to increase your knowledge base.
• Research is like anything - once you've applied yourself a few times, it gets much easier. Once you know where to look, the shortcuts begin to appear.

BEST MOMENTS

'You can't short cut these things'

'Most importantly, look at the history of property investing'

Shaz continues to talk about the traits that attract money, and how you can manifest more wealth by instilling these traits within yourself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Although money does not have a consciousness or a spirit of its own, it does flow, and it does so for a very specific set of reasons.
• Money is a consequence of doing the right things at the right time, in the right way. Success leaves clues.
• Never make money your master. Use it as a tool, and as a means of exchange, but never find yourself in the position of worshipping money.

BEST MOMENTS

'Property likes money and property takes money'

'Money is consistent in the way that it behaves'

'Success leaves clues'

Shaz discusses the traits that we should encourage within ourselves and our business dealing, that will attract money in a fundamental way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Money is a case of mindset. If you believe that you are bad with money, the likelihood that you will be bad with money increases.
• Money likes people who work with speed - who are decisive, can make decisions effectively, and who work dynamically.
• Money is far more attracted to those who fulfil their promises. Don't just sit there and talk about what you might do - get out there and do it!

BEST MOMENTS

'We're following the path of information'

Shaz discusses the Goldmine Area - what it means, why you should always be on the lookout for one, and how to tell if the location you've chosen has the potential to make you very wealthy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A goldmine area is a location that, for you, has excellent potential for property investment, and could provide the key to unlocking real financial gains.
• People sometimes misunderstand why they need a goldmine area. Investing in the right goldmine area for you, can lead to your investment in an area that has potential for capital growth.
• If you have a strategy that requires a certain locale, such as student accommodation, then there's little point in investing far away from places of learning. Do your due diligence and investigate beforehand.

BEST MOMENTS

'You did read my mind, and possibly my notes...'

'There are a number of benefits of knowing your goldmine area'

'This capital growth can generally be realised in one of two ways'

Shaz discusses the all-important moral boundary line that all landlords should try to adhere to when it comes to relationships with their tenants.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many think that landlords are the ones raising rents to unreasonable highs, when in reality they are simply following the government's plans when it comes to pricing and taxation.
• Professional investors make their entire income through their portfolio. If it becomes unprofitable then prices must be adjusted accordingly in order to remain profitable.

BEST MOMENTS

'Property investors don't set the price. The market sets the price'

'Property is a business. For a lot of landlords it's their only form of income'

Shaz presents a range of hot property tips designed to help you dynamically improve your investment chances!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Rather than focussing on houses in your chosen investment area, focus also on flats. They're cheaper, easier to rent out, and have a better return on investment.
• Landlords aren't always distant and aloof when it comes to their tenants. They often want to build a working relationship to provide the best outcome for both parties.

BEST MOMENTS

'Focus on flats to get on to the property ladder'

'Most people tend to get to know their tenants'

Shaz talks about the value of a money mindset - how it can empower you, and how it can alter the relationship we have with money, and use it to build lasting wealth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We need to fundamentally alter the way we think about money. We often think of it as a resource that refills once per month when our salaries arrive.
• If someone is wealthy, there seems to be a tendency to believe that the money came from a disreputable source. This promotes a negative money mindset.
• By placing negative connotations about money, we turn it into a thing to feel shame about. Money is a positive thing, and the ways that people accrue it are none of our business

BEST MOMENTS

'A lot of people have an odd relationship with money'

'What's important is building a habit'

Shaz discusses the key factors he considers when it comes to evaluating a potential property investment, including analysis of cashflow and return on investment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When it comes to commercial conversions, the first consideration must be the purchase price. If you are overpaying for a property, you are not going to lose out if the area is in high demand.
• When looking to buy a property, it's crucial to look at ways to add value right from the outset. When you add value, that's when you make the biggest gains.
• When buying a property, spend a considerable time researching and try to buy below market value. Motivation on the seller side is key..

BEST MOMENTS

'If you pay too much for a property then you're on the back foot'

'I would look at the positive cashflow first'

'Different people sell for different reasons'

Shaz explores the commercial strategy to the residential strategy, and explains the many pros and cons of both.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are benefits to both strategies. Commercial units are in general, cheaper than residential units, so the barrier to entry is lower.
• Residential is the safer strategy, and is the entry point for many investors due to the universe of knowledge out there, and the guidance available.

BEST MOMENTS

'The barrier to entry is lower'

'Hope for the best, plan for the worst'

Shaz takes a deep dive into the world of commercial conversions - what they are at heart, and how you can maximise a building's potential with your plans.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A commercial conversion is where you purchase a formerly commercial building and convert it into a number of residential units.
• 18 months is a sensible time to aim for - for a start-to-finish project, depending on prior approval and permitted development rules.
• The more commercial conversions you do, the better you get, and the faster the process becomes. You will start to assemble a crack team of professionals you can count upon to get the job done.

BEST MOMENTS

'You're in the hands of the Gods, as they say'

Shaz talks about the NMD strategy (No Money Down), otherwise known as JV-ing (Joint Venture), which is essentially a way of getting started on your property investing journey without needing any of your own money upfront.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many people have money that isn't working for them through traditional means. This means that if you do the work, and they provide the money, a win-win situation can be created for both of you.
• Flipping is a trade, and so different benefits and reliefs may apply if this strategy is used. Keeping the flips as a separate entity is generally wise.
• The percentage split between you and your investor is something you will both have to decide upon. Choose a figure that works for you but be prepared to negotiate.

BEST MOMENTS

'A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing'

Shaz discusses some rather more niche strategies used in property investing, such as time management, PBSAs, and nomination agreements.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can't always rely on the information you find online. It's far better to take the advice of people with experience, and those you can trust.
• PBSA stands for Purpose Built Student Accommodation and will always be more utilised in university and college towns and cities. The benefit is that you can choose your tenants at the same time every year.
