| Interview Chris Jones: Global Speaker, Cyber Security Expert, And Angel Investor | 29 Jan 2019 | 00:56:53 | |
How do you go from being a global cybersecurity expert to running a successful property business as well being an angel investor/business mentor? Well, Chris Jones has done exactly that, in this episode, Peter interviews Chris, on his journey in business, how to make sure that you are diversifying your income streams, and what it takes to make property a business, not a hobby. In this fantastic interview, Chris talks through how he has learnt to grow a property business and how anyone can be a property investor. Learn from his experience on how to make sure you're not putting all your eggs in one basket, and diversifying your income streams. Key Takeaways I always wanted to be a spaceman. Having not been able to do that, I started as a 3D designer and fell into computers. I have a brain that stores useless information and 90% of computers is useless information. I have run my own Cyber Security firm for the last since 2003. World War III is happening in cyberspace. If you are ok with computers I highly recommend getting into the cybersecurity business as their will always be work in the future. But in my business, I came to realise that I was working in the business, not on the business. I didn’t realise the mistakes I made until I went to the Multiple Streams of Income course with Progressive Property. It was successful but I was working 12 hours a day, every day a week. 2008 hit and I thought we had diversified as a business, as we had different customers but they were similar business customers in the same sector. All of a sudden they all stopped spending money, and I had to lay off half my staff. It took me a while to realise that I hadn’t diversified enough. My first foray into property then was 2013. It was risk mitigation. In 2008 in the financial crisis, I realised that we had put all the eggs in one basket in the shape of my business so I set about learning all I could about property from the best. I realised that I needed to buy an asset. I always wanted to build a new business out of property. What are the differences between the people that treat property as a hobby or as a business? Two things, systems and teams. When it’s a hobby you don’t need systems. You can be lucky and be successful without systems but I focus on business ability, not on luck. You need systems. Then the second is the team, if you get a team then you can spread the load, one brain is good two brains is better. People think you should train to be better at the things that you at bad at. Whereas you should focus on the things that you are good at and then employ people who are better at you to do that job. I’ve always been bloody-minded. I don’t allow things to be a problem, they are either a whip to charge me forwards or an opportunity to develop a sense of self-reliance. Persistence is something that is both learned and born with behaviour. Those people who are persistently persistent are people who have worked through adversity. What happened next when you completed the course? I completed the course in November and then bought a property in January. We were working with a homeless charity to help young men get a house. We started with my wife and two very good friends. We gutted the house and made it a really nice house. This was meant to not have loads of profit, but be a long term asset. We were going to buy a big Victorian house, but one of my friends pulled money from the property and the deal fell through. That set us back at least a year in our growth. I completed VIP and it was the best decision I made. Within the IT world, I am very good at what I do, and I wanted to be very good at property. The best way is to learn from the best. VIP is one of those things where the more you put in the more you get out. I turned up every month, completed all my mentor's actions and networked the hell out of the room. This kickstarted my passion for angel investing, which means that I am a professional business mentor, and angel investor now. I’m a qualified business mentor through the Institute of entrepreneurs. I would do that from 5.30am until 7.30 in the morning. Mentoring and investing are both things that have come from progressive VIP courses. How did Hive start? Like bees, we wanted to have a Hive like mind, where we all working together for the common good. It started as a club with people for mutual support where we would work on our own things but support each other. Made sure we did the planning. The banks would not give us a bank account, and we formed a limited company to buy property, do bigger possibilities. We did ok, and with any venture, we had to change the way we did things so we were all aligned. Over the two years we have pared down, and we are left with a core group. What is your vision for the property business? We are continuing to do buy-to-let as it’s a really good money earner, which I hadn’t realised they are so profitable before getting into property. We are doing some HMO’s, and looking at some commercial property as well. I’m always looking for investors. If we are talking about property investing, then we are looking at 70,000 onwards, either as a loan or a joint venture. The wider angel investing, I’m working with a wide range of business, from media to print. We are looking from £250,000, up to £2.5 million, in different ways. They either need to be sophisticated investors or individuals high net worth. Why start a property business in Hartlepool, and Middlesbrough? The attraction is the low cost of access, and the rental we get is very good. The property which would cost us £60,000 we are able to rent out for £500 a month. There can be little property growth, however. Part of the Tees Valley has had a lot of investment recently which has seen higher property prices. There is a lot of things happening in the northern parts of the country which can sometimes be ignored if you only look t the media. Where are you going to be in five years? The intention is to leave a legacy of properties that we own and manage. I find it difficult to find a vision in five months, I work in dynamic markets so I focus on 6-12 months. But the long term vision is to have a substantial property portfolio and to have each sector of the property portfolio which allows me to do things better. Best Moments ‘It took me a while to realise that I hadn’t diversified enough.’ ‘Reality is never the same as your perception.’ ‘We can all see the same thing and see very different things.’ ‘You have to treat property as a business.’ ‘You need systems, to make a business of property.’ ‘Getting the systems, and the team in means it’s not a hobby or a business.’ ‘Mind-set is really important.’ ‘People who have been through adversity either collapse or rile against it.’ ‘The more you are determined to carry on the more you will carry on.’ ‘If you carry on doing the right things, then you will be successful.’ ‘Having to restart after a deal fell through taught me a lot.’ ‘I turned up every month, completed all my mentor's actions and networked the hell out of the room.’ ‘What I have to offer is how business work and globally, and my wide networks.’ ‘Part of the difficulty is being focused.’ ‘It took me a long time to learn to say no.’ ‘You can’t help poor if you are poor yourself.’ ABOUT THE GUEST

| Even More Fantastic Community Questions | 05 Feb 2019 | 00:27:26 | |
The progressive community is a vibrant and dynamic one so listeners are always sending in some great questions. In this episode, Peter answers some of your burning questions about property. Should I Buy Property Abroad? Do property investors specialise in one type of property? or How quickly can I buy a house or apartment? All important questions for anyone looking to develop, start or grow their property business. Key Takeaways Should I buy property abroad? If you are familiar with progressive you’ll know the answer to that. We have our REASON model, these are the things that we shouldn’t be buying. The A in REASON stands for abroad. In the past, I put down some hefty deposits in Romania and I didn’t do my due diligence. The rent had to be closer to double the average rent in Romania to make any money. The difficulties abroad are that there are local rules which you won’t know, as well as the currency exchange rates which are constantly fluctuating. There is one exception to this rule, however, where you buy a property abroad as a lifestyle choice. Do property investors specialise in one type of property? There are different views on this. The difficulty in specialising in one thing is it’s a bit like putting all your eggs in one basket. Mainly specialising in one thing however means that you are going to get better at that one thing. I became really specialised in buy-to-let for instance. That was great until the credit crash. I knew that my one strategy of buy-to-let wasn't going to work anymore and I needed a new one. There is the 70/20/10 model, where you have three strategies and you divide your time/resources up into three things. Do property investors sell directly or use agents? Both, some sell directly, to other property investors. The answer it depends on your strategy and what you are trying to achieve. You need to do the best for you. There is scope to do all sorts of stuff. There are lots of creative ways to sell through agents, or directly. With deal packaging, you’ll be the agent, and not use an agent. Selling buy-to-lets I’d consider selling to an owner-occupier, or to another investor, or even sell the limited company to another business. How quickly can I buy a house, apartment or a dwelling? It’s probably going to take longer than you think. I’ve bought properties where I’m buying with cash and I don’t need searches but even then it can take as long as having the searches. It is quite hard to make a solicitor move faster than they want to go. It’s going to be rare to get a buy-to-let done in under 3 months. These things take time. Should I buy-to-let or should I sell? I would consider doing both. The great thing about buy-to-let is they will give you cashflow. The reality is that property prices are increasing in the North rather than the South. Maybe have a strategy where you get chunky cash coming in, like commercial conversions, or something like flips. It could be HMOs or serviced accommodation. Any business depends on cash-flow for it to succeed. Lumps of cash like that make you look more lendable by the banks. Best Moments ‘Never invest in property abroad.’ ‘Only buy a property abroad if it’s a lifestyle choice.’ ‘Specialising in one thing it’s a bit like putting all your eggs in one basket.’ ‘Having more than one strategy means you have a buffer.’ ‘Specialise in a number of areas.’ ‘It is quite hard to make a solicitor move faster than they want to go.’ ‘In property, its a case of get rich quickly slowly. ‘Buying a property is probably going to take you longer.’ ‘Any business depends on cash-flow for it to succeed.’ ABOUT THE HOST Peter Jones is a Chartered Surveyor, an author and a serial buy-to-let property investor. He has been involved in property for over 35 years and now owns 78 letting units. He is still actively involved in buying and renovating the property, and regularly flips properties for profit.

| Dan Hulbert: Interview with property Coach, Consultant and Investor | 19 Mar 2019 | 00:57:00 | |
Fifteen years of practitioner experience in the building trade gives you an insight that many people would pay a lot of money for. Dan Hulbert has moved from working ‘On Tools’ to being a property investor and now property training all over the country specializing in refurbishments. Peter interviews him in this latest episode where their conversation goes from how Dan sources properties, what’s the best way to do a refurb, and he goes through his EMPTY model for getting into property. If you looking to do a refurb at any point in your properties this is the podcast for you.
Key Takeaways Two or three years into the business of working ‘On Tools’ in carpentry, I realised there is more to life than being on tools and that there was a different way of doing this. Education was the key. I am interested in property, and business and started doing some coaching, and training courses in property. I wanted to be my own client. I’ve always wanted to teach others.
What strategy did you pursue? I teach the EMPTY model at the moment which is my own model for how to get into property. I was fascinated to find some people were doing it without any of their own money. I do a lot of business networking and I just talked to a lot of people about finance. I started by doing flips. I wanted to do things that got the money in straight away.
Networking Is Key. Show up to the event, always show up. Then be present and ask a lot of questions of other people rather than talking about yourself all the time. Finally, follow up over a call after the meeting. Then meet up over coffee later for a more in-depth chat.
What sort of properties are you refurbing? We are doing a lot of HMOs and we are looking at some flats next which we haven’t completely sorted yet. We do them to a very high standard. I have an advantage because I know the costings, and I can manipulate the costs lower. My EMPTY model is a good way of getting started with property:
EMPTY MODEL E - Experience/Education - Leverage a team member, a partner. It could be education M - Money - You don’t need your own money, but you need some money from somewhere. P - Property - You need a property to be in property T - Time - Time to put into the business, meet lots of people, and put things together. Y - You - You're the driver. You are the most important part of the deal.
It’s important to focus on actual challenges like the below three ‘M’s rather than perceived challenges which often come from a wrong mindset. M - Mindset M - Motivation M - Momentum
How do you find your properties? I’ve found properties in very different ways. I have really good relationships with the local estate agents. I don’t do a lot of leafleting but I write a handwritten note through the door to inquire about a property. There are specific agents that I wouldn’t work with, I wouldn’t get a deal from them. All the deals I’ve got are from smaller independent estate agents. Why not go and ask the estate agents if they have any properties?
I lost a lot of money in the building industry a few years back. That has made me put a lot of best practice in my business, a lot of systems and structures. I’m always striving to be the best. I’ve put in the right processes and strategies to ensure it works. I keep ensuring that things get tweaked to ensure that they are continuously improving.
How do you get to learn about costings? It’s like building muscle, you need to keep practising. There are systems that you can put in place when you get into a new area to learn about that area. You have to ask a lot of questions. Don’t be lazy: go and learn this stuff. Like anything, you need to do research.
There are three types of roles for property investors. You can be the manager where you subcontract to everyone, and you’re the project manager. If you’re new to property then this would be a tough job. Secondly, you can manage the manager where it might be more expensive but there are ways of bringing down costs. The third role is to employ a project manager, which can work on larger properties, but not so much on small. This way you leverage your time and bring in the relevant expertise.
Always make sure you have the right insurance in place. Public and Employer liability insurance is a must for your main contractor. Make sure you ask for a copy of their policy in full. You need an all-risk policy especially if you are removing the roof, as a normal policy won’t cover it as it’s exposed to the elements. If you are a limited company then you need Directors insurance, because of health and safety liability.
Important Steps to Refurbs. This is after your 80% preparation.
Property Vault. The idea came in 2013 but didn’t really materialise until 2016. We do one event now, and we have a co-host/business partner. Because of this, I’m now being mentored by Rob Moore. We are aiming the event at people who are already in the game rather than complete newbies.
Best Moments ‘The transition was working with a coach to figure where I wanted to be.’ ‘I wanted to be my own client.’ ‘I initially wasn’t interested in being a landlord.’ ‘I love joint ventures.’ ‘Networking was key.’ ‘If people say networking is not good, then they aren’t doing it right.’ ‘We broke a lot of rental barriers.’ ‘Property for me is very simple but its not always simple.’ ‘It all starts and ends with you.’ ‘The best property deals come straight to you.’ ‘I write a handwritten note through the door to enquire.’ ‘Everywhere has a strategy can work.’ ‘Make sure you get back to people on things.’ ‘Try and cookie cutter everything in a business.’ ‘Estate agents want this to be easy as well.’ ‘80% is in the prep when it comes to refurb.’ ‘Budgeting is the most vital thing to get right.’ ‘It’s all about building relationships with people.’ ‘People only know what they know.’ ‘Insurance is easy to sort out but it’s essential to get in place.’ 'I’ve got 15 years of systems because I’ve made so many mistakes in the past.’ Valuable Resources https://www.thepropertyvaultuk.com

Learn from the expert of No Money Down deals, and join this new chapter of the Progressive Property Podcast.
Key Takeaways How did I get here? I’ve been involved in property for a number of years, I attended some property training back in 2003. I became really excited about property and what it could do for me. I’d seen how successful other people had become from property. The Celtic boom in Ireland was all based around property, and I didn’t think I needed any training.
I initially invested in Turkey. That property got built, but while it was being built I decided to look at more. I took a flight out to Estonia to build a two-bed apartment over a lake. I bought that for just over €36,000. Everything was going great, and I thought I was a professional property investor. I went and did this all again in a Bulgarian ski resort.
But then I had no contact from Estonia. It went dead. They had shut up shop and closed down the business. All the developments had been stopped, and we lost our money. Bulgaria and Turkey did get built, but there were expensive management fees. After we removed them the old management company took everything from that company. We realised that they were linked to the mafia in Bulgaria.
I had done nothing between 2009-2013 but then I attended a progressive property event. I met other people who had been in a similar situation, lots of debt, only a few years before, and had come through the other end really successfully. Since then I have focused on joint strategies, and using other people's money to get property. I have become an expert in no money down property financing and now teach on the progressive property courses.
The past is the past. You can set a new future. The one thing I used to do was focus on property in one hour before and after work. I didn’t lose an hour each side of my day only around twenty minutes because I avoided the traffic. I also got bigger pay rises and bonuses from my work because of the perception that I was working harder. I see a lot of other people waste time, by having a chat or taking a longer lunch. I wanted to use my time as effectively as I could. We all have the time available to commit to property. Property in the last four years has changed everything in my life. I was living in a room as part of a HMO four years ago but last year I moved to my dream home. When you commit to property in the right way you can do it in quite a short space of time. I didn’t set out to build a multi-million pound business in the first few months. You don’t want to run before you can walk. Just start with one property, and then cookie cutter the process.
I love property. I love the lifestyle it allows me to have. It allows me to spend time with my family, see my son take his first steps. I’m not into posh watches and fast cars. I want to provide for my family. My parents sacrificed a lot. We weren’t wealthy but we were just ok. I don’t want to have to sacrifice as they did.
Best Moments ‘Make hay whilst the sun shines.’ ‘Everything was going great, I thought I was a professional property investor.’ ‘The mortgages never happened after that because of the 2008 crash.’ ‘I got myself into huge debt.’ ‘The only way you faily in property is if you quit.’ ‘Having the right people around you helps accelerate your success.’ ‘I see the money that I lost as an entrance fee.’ ‘I have made lots of mistakes in property.’ ‘I now make more money from property that I had lost.’ ‘Property is very forgiving.’ ‘The past is the past. You can set a new future.’ ‘I bet you can think of time in your day where you can do stuff on your business.’ ‘How are you making use of your 24 hours.’ ‘Focusing on replacing your income, so you can get your time back.’ “If you bite off more than you can chew then it feels a lot worse when you fail.’ ‘Use small steps on your business/property journey.’ ‘I don’t want to sacrifice like my parents did to provide for my wife and kids.’ ‘You need to get educated like I did.’

| Is No Money Down Possible? | 29 Apr 2019 | 00:27:08 | |
Ever thought that you can’t buy property because you don’t have a 25% deposit, or you don’t earn enough to gain a mortgage? Well, there are plenty of ways for you to invest in property, with either no money, very little money or with someone else’s money. Kevin this week talks through the various different ways that are available for you to invest in property with ‘No Money Down.’ From using rent-to-rent and Planning Gain, listen from the expert in ‘No Money Down’ property structures to make sure you start investing in your future today.
Key Takeaways Do you know people who own a lot of property? Do you know them personally or have you read about them? The reality is they probably get there by doing ‘No money down’ property deals. They didn’t do this by working in a job to save for a job. If you don’t use ‘no money down’ investing otherwise you won’t own enough properties.
What is ‘No Money Down’ Property investing? There are three types of ‘No Money Down.’ It could literally mean there is no money down on the property, or there is very little or no money down on a property. Would you be willing to purchase a property for £1 which is worth millions and gives you lots of passive income? The final meaning is where you use other people's money to put down on a property.
What ways can you do ‘No Money Down’? People say you need a mortgage or you need 25% or you need to go through an estate agent, none of these things is necessarily true. This is not what creative property investors do.
You need time, you need knowledge, you need the money to get into Property. It doesn’t happen to be your money, however. There isn’t enough money to give back everyone the money there is in their account. A lease option is a really powerful strategy, which allows you to control someone else's property. When you buy a house, you get a title deed. It has the owner name and it has the address on it alongside anyone else who has an interest in the company. This means you get control of the title deed, which gives you control of the mortgage, cash flow and profit.
Rent-to-rent is a great option. You can get control of other people's property and the cash flow without the deposit. We’ll get the landlord to make sure that there is a few months free rent, you can even get the furniture in buy now pay later scheme. You rent the property, and then you put the tenants in the property. People don’t want the hassle of managing a property. If you don’t have a deposit rent to rent can be great.
Rent-to-Buy. There are lots of people who are in rented accommodation and they want to buy a house but they can’t afford to. You pay the market rent and have an option to buy later. The purchase price is locked in on day one. So you can move in, or someone else can be moved in. There is no cost to the landlord, the purchase price can be increased.
Buy-to-Flip. There are costs to this when you are doing the refurbishment. Buy-to-flip has to pay an additional 3% stamp duty which has eaten into profits. But an assisted sale could be useful. This is where you joint venture with the homeowner. You pay the refurbishment and increase a purchase price up front. You can split the sale cost after the event, so it's a win-win from the homeowner. You can joint venture with someone else to pay for the refurb costs as well.
Planning Gain. You don’t need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain. This could be where you get an option to buy on a plot of land, and submit planning permission and then sell your option to buy.
Best Moments ‘Just because some money is needed it doesn't have to be your money.’ ‘Don’t think that without any savings ‘Money doesn’t really exist.’ ‘The situation of the homeowner is more important that the ‘Lease option is a really powerful strategy’ ‘In a leasehold, you are not buying the house.’ ‘People don’t want the hassle of managing a property.’ ‘There are opportunities to make money in areas where people don’t want to do the work.’ ‘A tenant-buyer property contract you have the security of ownership.’ ‘Buy-to-flip pay an additional 3% stamp duty.’ ‘You don’t need to buy a house to benefit from planning gain.’ ‘Joint venturing is a hugely powerful strategy.’ ‘You can exchange your time and knowledge for their money.’ ‘Don’t pedestalize the money.’ ‘The more you network the more money you can make.’ ‘One of your greatest assets is the time and willingness.’ ‘Ask people to look at your deals before you go to investors.’ ‘Don’t chase for the money.’ ‘Sell through not to.’

| Mark Homer: The Quickest Way to Get Started in Property | 06 May 2019 | 00:29:49 | |
Would you like to network with 12,000 like-minded property investors? Learn from some of the most experienced, and successful property entrepreneurs in the world? Then the 10x Superconference is for you. Kevin interviews one of the speakers at this year's conference, which is all but sold out, co-founder of Progressive Property Mark Homer. Mark talks about his journey into property, what are the best strategies at the moment and what he’s going to be talking about in his presentation at the conference. If you’re looking for a reason to book your ticket to the conference, then listen ahead to this fascinating interview with Mark Homer.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of my time is spent doing property deals, running our property business. I’ve bought, sold and refurbished over 800 properties. At the moment I'm doing a lot of commercial conversions into residency. I help oversee our letting agency and the numbers for the business.
Why property? It’s all about the returns. When you’re talking about property things start and finish with return on capital invested. There are lots of leverage you can get on one single let, compared with other investment types. I’m doing more and more, larger buildings where you can get a return of 25-30% back on a property. Not many other investments would give the same returns as property.
I started with small terrace houses. I was buying, refurbishing, and building up my portfolio. I graduated into bigger buildings, and HMO’s. It’s been a fifteen-year journey for me where I’ve ended up doing more and more commercial conversions from pubs and empty buildings.
What's your preferred strategy? This is very much based on things that are of their time. I’ve recently gradually started doing more and more commercial conversions around putting a retailer on the ground floor and converting the higher floors into flats for example. Often the projects I do are opportunity-led and of its time.
Whose has been your inspiration? In terms of residential and property, I would say Andreas Panayiotou. I think he ended up owning thousands of properties in London over the years. In terms of investors, I do think Warren Buffet is great. I love his long-term attitude to investing and he compounds his returns.
Why do you think you should attend the Superconference? I’ve moved on in my journey because I’ve learnt from other people. I’ve learnt how to do the tax, contractors and others. At this conference, there will be 12,000 other property investors in the room and the speakers. Grant Cardone portfolio is nearly a billion dollars. We are all doing different things.
What are you going to be talking about at the Superconference? Lots of things are changing in our economy at the moment and I'm going to be talking about how we can take advantage of the uncertainty. I’m going to go through a couple of case studies which I’m working on at the moment.
Is there 'one' really exciting thing about the Super-conference? In terms of finding the right commercial buildings, finding the right partners and finance. I think people will hopefully get a lot of interesting different things. There will be a lot of different mindset of things there with Grant Cardone. I’ll be speaking and learning about different strategies.
Top three benefits of attending the Super-conference? Property starts and finishes with income, and cash flow, replacing that income. Networking with other people and are like-minded. How inspiration is it to have all these speakers who are coming,
What has property done to 10x your life? 10x is different to me than for others. For me, it’s around commitment but growing in stages and making mistakes at the right level. As soon as you know everything and you have the right data it's vital to scale up. If you know it works you need to make sure that you scale it up to make it work.
BEST MOMENTS ‘Most of my time is spent doing property deals.’ ‘The returns are really good.’ ‘The stock market is harder to get right.’ ‘I like turning older properties that haven’t got use into residential properties.’ ‘Often the best time is now to get into property.’ ‘Don’t extend yourself at the minute as we are in the second half of the cycle.’ ‘Warren Buffet has been a big inspiration for me. He reads for hours everyday.’ ‘The experience and knowledge is deep in lots of different niches.’ ‘There are lots of different options even if you don’t have any money.’ ‘I met lifelong friends at the last conference.’ ‘Always invest locally.’ ‘Try and avoid scattergun approach.’ ‘Try and find the best letting agent.’ ‘If you go to a new town you have to learn everything all over again.’ ‘You can make millions of pounds in one deal.’ ‘If you don’t know the detail, and start from the bottom you can lose out.’ ‘Everyone is always learning.’ ‘The inspiration you will get from all these people.’ ‘You have to work hard and work smart.’ ‘Get into your niche and be the best at whatever that is.’ ‘I’ve moved on in my property journey by learning from others.’

| Go BIG or GO HOME (Lies) | 13 May 2019 | 00:19:10 | |
Is going big or go home the right strategy? You hear a lot of people, especially on social media, talking about ‘going big or going home’ as being the right strategy but what if this isn’t right for you and your circumstances? In this episode, Kevin talks through why you should ignore that talk and focus on your own goals. Kevin talks through the best ways you can set SMART goals in your property business, whether you are aiming to save for your pension or you want to become a property multimillionaire. If you haven’t set your business goals yet this is the episode for you.
Key Takeaways Everyone’s goals are different. It’s important to set goals that are important to you, and related to what you love not influenced by other people. Sometimes, it’s enough to know that you can quit your job if you need to. You might love your job but would like to build a bigger pension pot. Even aiming to earn £3,000 to £5,000 a month from property is a great goal. We don’t all want to own hundreds of properties and that is fine. It’s important to set your goals effectively, whatever they are. Make sure you write your goals down and that they are not dreams. To ensure they are not dreams work out how you are going to achieve these goals and when for. For example, if you want to earn £5,000 a month from property, set a date in the future when this will happen. A really good technique for goal setting is SMART which stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timebound:
In our day jobs, we are sent on lots and lots of training. This is to enhance the companies profits not just give you a good personal development day. Similarly, in property, make sure you educate and invest in yourself to make the most money possible and achieve your goals. Best Moments ABOUT YOUR HOST CONTACT METHOD

| How to Make BIG CASH With a Tiny Investment | 20 May 2019 | 00:41:48 | |
Exclusive Interview with Property Superconference Speaker and Deal Packaging legend, David Siegler. The upcoming 10x Property Superconference has the power to change your life, and In today’s episode, Kevin interviews one of the most experienced property investors in the business, and who will be speaking at the Superconference in just a few weeks time. In this interview, Kevin talks to David Siegler about his journey into property, his specialism in Deal Packaging and why getting a ticket to the 10x Superconference will change your life. Key Takeaways We saved a deposit, and got a mortgage and bought a house. When I first started it was a really slow process and the cashflow was limited. The problem was there was no one to ask, no one to ask how you can improve your skills, or learn from others. I was stuck. Rob and Mark were out there buying property when I was sitting at home watching daytime TV. I now have a deal packaging business. Which I learnt how to do at progressive property. In year one I was able to pay myself over 140,000 and then each year since then I’ve turned over six figures. I’ve been able to reorganise my property portfolio, which initially I was netting around £3500 but then without buying any more properties, due to getting educated, I was able to increase that to over 8K a month. Why did you want to invest in property? I got into property by accident, because I had a retail business. On several of our units, we were able to get the freehold, so we then started buying various over the years when they became available because it can help enhance your balance sheet. I love property because if you hold it for long enough it will go up in value. What’s your favourite property strategy? My favourite is deal packaging because it’s all about the cash. I have residential and commercial properties, but with deal packaging, you can get cashflow without having to get any more tenants. I had a lot of contacts where I didn’t want to buy so I could then help others by selling them on. What’s your journey been to being on the stage at the 10x Super Conference? In 2014 I threw myself into deal packaging, and it was a lot of work to do initially. 12 months later I learnt about the speaker training at Progressive, and took the course, to become ready to speak. I would then drive around doing twenty-minute slots in various locations around the country. Who is your biggest inspiration? In business and in property, I think Progressive Property is something special. How Rob and Mark have built this from nothing over the years, is incredible. Special people are going to be in the room at 10x conference. How has deal packaging changed over the last few years? The cutting edge deal packaging is around serviced accommodation. When I first came into property serviced accommodation wasn’t a thing, but it’s the way to earn money quickly in property. Rent to Rent deal packaging is also an area where people are earning a lot of money very quickly. Why should everyone be excited about the 10x super conference? Mark Homer who is the smartest man in property in the UK and one of the smartest men in business and he is speaking. Grant Cardone, is there, who will 10x your life and supercharge your property business. Finally, we have Rob Moore and all the other speakers. Then there is a secret speaker who is a major player in property, all to be revealed. What does 10x mean to you? For me, it feels aspirational. It can be a goal in the future for anyone. If you aim for 10x then even if you don’t get there you’ll still be making a lot of money. It changes your mindset, your contacts change, your friends change and the way that you think changes.

| Ask Me Anything With Property Multi-Millionaire Alfie Best | 17 Jun 2019 | 00:27:28 | |
Answers to the Questions YOU are Asking about Property! At the 10k Property Super Conference, Kevin McDonnell sat down with Alfie Best who has a multi-million-pound property business in the UK. Together they answered questions from listeners about all things property. If you want to hear inspirational and informative answers to the questions people are really asking then listen in now.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Know your area, know the property you are buying and start with the end in mind, how am I going to make money out of it?
Fear of failure is a powerful driver and to every problem, there is a solution it might not be the solution you want but there is a solution. If you don’t take a risk you are never going to realise your potential or learn.
There is a model to be followed and if a deal ticks the boxes the next consideration is gut instinct about what else you can add to increase the value.
Family is always at the heart of everything and in business, it's seeing long term goals come to fruition.
Do it, don’t waste time get on with it but don’t do it half-heartedly get both feet in and get started.
Sublime marketing is the best – it’s about not selling a property to someone you just whet their appetite enough to get them interested and the more you are not selling it the more they will want it.
Living with yourself when perceiving yourself as a failure is scary and I overcame with perseverance. I followed through, I adapted and changed the business plan to continue to move forward
overcome it? In a stressful situation take your time to find the right solution If you panic you make the fear worse and potentially make wrong choices. As soon as you own and step up to your choices you can put them behind you, learn from them and move on.
It's about supply and demand, we are 66 million people on a small island with a predicted increase of 8 million over the next 10 years and people need places to live.
It’s about persistence, success is all in the mind everyone defines success differently. There are always people who are further up the ladder of success and they provide inspiration for others to persevere and keep moving forward.
BEST MOMENTS ‘I genuinely thought I started perfect I only realised later that I didn’t’ ‘I realised that I was never going to get myself out of debt working in a job’ ‘By changing your model, you are actually showing your business is successful the more a business adapts, the more successful it will become’ ‘Keep checking your goals and seeing where you are at, you don’t realise how far you can come in 3 or 4 years’

| 7 Estate & Letting Agent Hacks You NEED To Know | 24 Jun 2019 | 00:35:38 | |
‘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
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.
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).
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.
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?
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.
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.
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’

| Self Management Vs Outsourcing | 08 Jul 2019 | 00:20:44 | |
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.’

| Section 24: Everything You Need to Know | 01 Sep 2019 | 00:26:19 | |
Ever wondered what the Section 24 law means for Property investors? Well, in today’s episode of The Progressive Property Podcast there’s no need to wonder as your host, Kevin McDonnell tells us everything you need to know about the 4-stage law affecting Property investor's mortgages. Discover the pros, cons, costs, and how you can save money by moving your properties over to a Limited company rather than keeping them in your personal name. Tune in today to save money and keep up to date with the property law affecting your investment portfolio.
KEY TAKEAWAYS.
1) Have a limited company. You may already have one or you may need to make one. An important thing to note is that to be able to hold properties in a limited company, the properties must be owned by more than 1 person. 2) Note the pros and cons in terms of costs. If you move your properties into a limited company, this enables you to defer your capital gains tax under incorporation relief. However, if you were to sell the properties eventually, you will have to pay capital gains. 3)You need to think about the type of mortgage you have. You may need to redeem your mortgages, however, some companies that lend personally, do not lend to limited companies. Mortgages for limited companies also tend to be higher. There may also be penalties for those on fixed-rate mortgages. 4) Consider future possibilities. Perhaps the government will decide to reverse their decision to introduce section 24. Will the cost of transferring to a limited company such as mortgage costs and legal costs. Could you pay all this, for the government to reverse their decision? Also valuable to consider the repercussions of transferring to an LTD company, when it comes to selling the property. -What to do about any future property purchases? Simply put, Always buy under a limited company as section 24 does not currently affect this. - Seek opportunities and look for ways to help people, and perhaps make some profit from them. If a person decides to sell all their properties, they are only entitled to defer X amount of capital gains (£12,000 per person per 2019 financial year- this differs each year). If you are able to secure a deal to purchase each of their properties individually each financial year, this could save them money in capital gains. - To summarise, seek professional advice in terms of your personal situation. It may be valuable for you to stick with your current situation and continue having the properties in your name, however, it could also be a benefit to have your properties transferred into a Limited company.
BEST MOMENTS. “If you have a small mortgage with a good profit, you might not want to do anything” “if you do have properties in your name and have mortgages on them, then it is very possible that you will see a significant rise in your tax bill. “ “If you own property in your own name and have no mortgage on them, then section 24 will not make any difference to tax that you pay on your business.” “You could end up doing all this, only for the government to turn around and reverse their decision” “Is there an opportunity to take advantage of those who own in their personal name? Absolutely!”

| LIVE Ask me Anything on All Things Property | 30 Sep 2019 | 00:45:04 | |
Kevin answers burning questions from the Progressive Property Community in a Live Q&A. Discover how to secure commercial development, the most effective way to rent out your SA units and how to structure your very first JV partnership. Tune in today to hear the expert answers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin offers his knowledge to the public in a facebook live, here's the questions he was asked. Q: What is the best way to go about securing commercial development funding?
A: The best way to secure commercial development funding, and avoid risk is to do joint venture (JV). On a commercial funding you can possibly borrow up to 60-70% of the purchase price and then borrow up to 100% of the development money. The challenge is finding the 30-40 percent deposit. Often the money is already tied within the building. A good idea is entering into a joint venture with the building owner. This way you could work together with the owner and not have to put in any of your own money. You would then approach a development lender who would lend you 100% of the development against the building, allowing you to do the development together. This could allow you to make a profit without putting in any money. You could also try actively searching for commercial developers or joint venture investors on social media platforms. A key bit of advice is don’t find the deal before having the money ready!
Q: I’m thinking of rent to SA (serviced accommodation) in flats most seem to be leasehold in your experience is there any success with agreeing this with the leaseholder?
A: Most people when they are doing rent to SA (serviced accommodation) think to do it on flats. However, please remember not to rule out other options such as, semi detached houses, terraced houses and larger properties. However, if you are doing them on a flat your challenge is getting permission. Whilst you may gain permission from the letting agent, and then from the landlord. You need to ensure you also get permission from the freeholder if the property has one. These are the people that can have the final say on whether or not they are allowed in that particular building. They may simply give you permission, or they may give you permission with some terms and conditions such as a yearly fee. Alternative options, are houses that have been split up into separate flats or rooms, as they do not have a freeholder, the lease usually does not mention not being able to short term lease the property.
Q: I am looking to buy a business we are thinking about asking the vendor to finance us in some capacity. How do we broach this subject with them? Would putting the business into a limited company and them having shares be a good option?
A: Yes, that is one good way of doing it. You could get the person to leave some shares in their company, so they keep their shares and then pay them out at a later date. A good idea would be to find out what the seller is going to do with the money they will earn from the sale of their business. If they have no plans other than to place it in the bank then you could suggest they leave the money in the business and you come to some agreement with what they will gain from that. Perhaps they keep a large portion of the money in the company, and you give them monthly interest on their money and then a balloon payment of the remainder in a few years time. This option, along with having the seller keep some shares in their company are the best legal options.
Q: How do you approach a JV partnership when looking for JV partner with money? How do you the partnership and the structure the contact? I am starting out and I am looking for partners with the cash, what are the next steps?
A: Some key advice here, is to go after investors with larger money to spend, The key fact here is not to pedestalize the investors money. Investors with large amounts of money to lend to you will end up pedestalizing their time and not their money. If you keep the focus on how much you need their money, you run the risk of coming across as desperate and this could deter potential investors. They are investing in you as a person and not just a developer. Show them you have the knowledge and credibility to be able to turn their investment into a profit by showing them how committed and trustworthy. Your job should be focusing on showing them how they can save a huge amount of time by investing with you, show them your skill set and everything you have to offer for them.
Secondly, do what is best for your investor. Ask them “what is most important to you with working with me?” If you’re able to solve the answer to that question, then they will want to work with you. Tailor your expertise to what they want to do with their money. If the client would like you to focus on HMO (house of multiple occupancy) for example, then keep that as your main focus.
Q: What is the best no money down strategy to start with?
A: The best no money down strategy should be marketing. You cannot do anything, unless you are marketing yourself and have people contacting you with leads that will potentially turn into a deal. When you pick up these deals, it is then about using the right no money down tool to make the right decision on the use for that building and securing the profit for that building.
Q: What are your top tips for finding your goldmine area please?
A: Your goldmine area, is where you live. People I meet that don’t succeed in property always think the grass is greener somewhere else, they try to succeed in parts of the country they do not know enough about. They end up travelling up and down the country to find another area. The whole point of being in business for yourself is to get your time back and stop living someone else's dream. Spending time up and down the country looking for other property investment opportunities will create less free time for yourself trying to create a property dream that could have been done on your own doorstep. We ignore our own doorstep. Find what works in your local area, and do it well. An example of this, is knowing the lower socioeconomic area of your town. This could have a potentially bigger profit margin if the people in that area are usually in the mindset of being tennents for life. The way they treat the property and the regular source of income they provide for you could be more suitable than investing in an area with a higher socioeconomic background, as the people in this area could potentially be using your home as a stop gap. Therefore the reliance of occupancy may not be as high. To summarise, do some research on your own local areas, find out which options best suit you and what you’re looking for and use this research to create your goldmine.
Q: Where do you find investors?
A: They are everywhere. Look around you, you need to put yourself out there and make yourself at risk for people lending you money. If you are at home and not telling people you’re looking for investors it will never happen. Attend business networking events as well as property networking events. Make sure you have your property beacon on everywhere. Update your social media profiles, let people know that you are looking for investment.

Kevin answers burning questions from the Progressive Property Community in a Live Q&A. Discover how to secure commercial development, the most effective way to rent out your SA units and how to structure your very first JV partnership. Tune in today to hear the expert answers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin offers his knowledge to the public in a facebook live, here's the questions he was asked. Q: What is the best way to go about securing commercial development funding?
A: The best way to secure commercial development funding, and avoid risk is to do joint venture (JV). On a commercial funding you can possibly borrow up to 60-70% of the purchase price and then borrow up to 100% of the development money. The challenge is finding the 30-40 percent deposit. Often the money is already tied within the building. A good idea is entering into a joint venture with the building owner. This way you could work together with the owner and not have to put in any of your own money. You would then approach a development lender who would lend you 100% of the development against the building, allowing you to do the development together. This could allow you to make a profit without putting in any money. You could also try actively searching for commercial developers or joint venture investors on social media platforms. A key bit of advice is don’t find the deal before having the money ready!

| Kevin Whelan: How to Use Your Pension to Invest in Property! | 21 Oct 2019 | 00:36:41 | |
‘It’s not for everybody it’s for entrepreneurs – people who are willing to take responsibility for the money that they’ve accumulated in the past. They turn their pension into a business’ Following a massively successful live event at Progressive, Kevin McDonald and Kevin Whelan from Wealth Builders have moved straight into the studio to share on the Progressive Property Facebook page and the Progressive Property Podcast how a SSAS can give you the freedom and flexibility to make decisions for yourself in order to grow the investments you chose to invest in. Most people in the UK have some sort of pension and in this episode, you can find out how to grow your pension using a SSAS, it’s a powerful thing, listen in and find out why and how.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Small - Up to eleven people this means more leverage Self-Administered - You are making your own decisions about where you want to invest your money providing it is within HMRC rules. Scheme - Another word for pension, in law scheme, means pension. SSAS - Small Self-Administered Scheme is a pension scheme that is run by business owners to make decisions for themselves in order to grow that as large as they care to in investments that they chose to invest in for themselves subject to some basic rules Rules There are only 2 things you can’t do - buy personal assets such as a car, anything you get a personal gain from. - buy habitable residential property – you can’t buy something you could live in yourself such as the home you live in or the typical buy to let property.
There are 2 types of property - Habitable residential property and exempt residential property. Properties which are exempt include guest houses, hotels, pubs and student halls of residence. ‘B’ for the buying strategy You use your pension itself to directly buy assets and if you buy it with the pension, the pension grows, because the rental money is within the pension while it’s growing its income tax-free, corporation tax-free capital gains tax and inheritance tax-free ‘B’ for the borrowing strategy up to half of the pension can be loaned to the company to help the business making it outside of the pension. For people who want to grow their wealth outside of their pension, their pension can help them to do that also. ‘B’ for the bridge strategy You could be a property investor but borrow money from other people and if you have a SSAS of your own you can lend money to other people as a bridge strategy. Bridging money is money going away from you the borrowing strategy is money coming back to you. Whenever you are investing money there are 2 important things – if you need advice get good advice and make sure you do due diligence. A SSAS is a potential way of combining disenfranchised and forgotten pension pots. It’s been mostly the domain of companies previously but following the introduction of section 24 ( the new law where if you own property in your personal name by 2021 the entire amount of rentable income will be taxed), there has been a tidal way of SSAS pensions from people who are property wise. SIP and SSAS? SIPP is a Self-Invested Personal Pension. It’s one person not up to 11 people, a SIPP is a product it’s not a business. You buy a SIPP of the shelf and it’s the professional who is the trustee so you have to go with what they allow you to do. Anything you want to do in a SIPP can be done in an SSAS plus more. Only a SSAS gives you the freedom and flexibility to make the decisions that you would want to make.
BEST MOMENTS ‘This whole tidal wave of SSAS pensions is coming from people who are property wise’ ‘20 billion pounds in pensions is just laying around forgotten’ ‘When you bring in your children as trustees you can teach them, educating them on finance and property’
