The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate – Details, episodes & analysis

The Renters Reform bill has been on the agenda for UK Government since it was first proposed in 2019, but with Labour’s win in the 2024 general election, it looks as though it will be reprioritised by Keir Starmer’s party under a new name - the Renters’ Rights Bill.

And with the bill being brought forward by a left leaning party, it’s no surprise that the focus will be on providing more security and protection for tenants while ensuring landlords know their responsibilities.

In today's episode, we'll explore the key elements of the Renters' Reform Bill and what it means for property investors and residential landlords in the UK.

Today, I am delighted to be joined by Michelle Cairns. 

You may have come across her in many different guises over the years.

She's been in the property industry since 2015 and is most prominently known as the host of the YPN podcast—a remarkable platform that offers invaluable insights into the property world.

Michelle is an exceptional host and today, we're turning the tables to dive into her fascinating story.

She has hosted numerous property networking events and is a successful property investor with 40 tenants in her portfolio.

Michelle's achievements are the result of creative deal structuring and innovative financing strategies, including vendor finance, purchase lease options, and rent-to-rent schemes.

Starting her journey from a teaching background without prior property expertise, Michelle has built an impressive portfolio in just eight years.

Her success is more than enough to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Now, while her portfolio continues to grow, she is exploring new interests and creative outlets, like being a podcast host.

So without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

Today it’s time for an overdue monthly update. We missed May, so this is a combination of May and June – everything we’ve been up to over the past couple of months. You might not think there’s a huge amount for us to cover, but actually as we dig into it, we’ve made good progress and learnt a couple of important lessons along the way.

We’re going to be sharing how our life has changed drastically over the past couple of weeks, a new hire to our team, the Covid situation on our HMO and SA portfolio as well as Covid-valuationgate(!), which has been top of my mind for the past couple of days. And, our usual updates on latest projects, an offer accepted on our future project and a couple of others that we’re appraising as well, so plenty for us to dig into!

Today I’m delighted to welcome Kim Opszala to the show, a solicitor with years of experience dealing with mergers and acquisitions who realised that success in the corporate world actually isn’t the be all and end all when the cost of that success is long hours, high stress, physical health issues and never seeing your partner. I think we can all relate to at least some of that.

Kim decided to start investing in property to give her more choice in her life and, after a few short years, has built an income from a mix of acquisitions, rent to rent deals and lease options, allowing her to leave the rat race behind but continue to practice law as a choice, as a consultant, picking the jobs and the hours to suit her.

It’s a really inspiring story and I’m sure you’ll take a lot of value from it.

Today I'm delighted to welcome Charlene Turkington to the show, who claims to be our first guest from Northern Ireland – and with my terrible memory, I'm certainly in no position to dispute her claim! She started investing at a young age in Belfast, was hit hard by the 2008 recession, and then made a fresh start flipping houses in a small Yorkshire town. 

After completing 14 flips, she started to hold on to some of them and grow her buy to let portfolio, as well as embark upon an amazing new build back in Northern Ireland that will become their family home.  

A lot of Charlene's approach is the perfect model for people interested in flipping houses: a strategy we don't discuss anywhere near as much as I'd like on the show. So hopefully for those of you looking to do something similar either as your main strategy, or to raise your investment pot for further buy and hold deals, you'll find a lot of great insight and information in today's show.

Today I’m delighted to be joined by Mike Clay, a property investor living and investing in Norwich, who realised after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad on a beach three years ago, that there was a better
way to the twenty years he’d spent climbing the corporate ladder.

During our discussion, Mike shares what his motivations were to leave the day job behind, the strategy that he settled on to get there and why really honing in on a specific niche has boosted his success massively.

And also, how he was able to build up a big enough portfolio in only three years to take the leap into full time property investing.

Mike is already scheduled to come back on the show in a few weeks to talk through his process for creating your vision, translating it into a strategy and goals and, most importantly, actually executing it. But today, it’s all about his back story which I’m sure will be a big inspiration for you!

Today I'm delighted to welcome Kevin Whelan to the show, a pensions expert who knows more than most about how to leverage existing assets to create additional wealth. And today, we are looking in detail at using your own pension to further build your property portfolio by converting it to a SSAS: a small, self-administered scheme.  

If you don't have a pension then maybe this isn't the episode for you, but if you do have one, whether it's from a job long forgotten about or something you're still contributing to, then you best pay attention as it could become one of your most valuable sources of finance for future projects.

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Emma Stubbings, sharing her story of exiting a successful corporate career to focus full time on property investing.

During our chat we get to find out how she created a phased runway to leaving her day job, focussing first of all on replacing her income with high cash-flowing properties in the north west. 

We also discuss how she was finally able to move her investing closer to home in Cambridge despite initially thinking the more expensive area wasn't viable, what her preference is between larger and smaller HMOs based on her own portfolio of houses that span from 5 to 15 bedrooms, and what her biggest secret to success is after 8 years in the industry.

Today I'm delighted to welcome Katrina Jones back to the show. It's been 4 years since she was first on the podcast and a lot has changed for her in that time.

She still controls a sizeable rent to rent portfolio but takes a more hands-off approach now as her superstar team look after most of the day to day responsibility. 

During our chat we get a chance to find out more about Katrina's thoughts on the rent to rent market in 2020, the continued growth of her own portfoio, how she found and built a team she can rely on 100% to look after her business, and why she decided that being a lifestyle entrepreneur was more important than the constant pursuit of bigger profits.
