Ep 265How To Do More Property Deals
Simon shares valuable insights on how to secure more profitable property deals by working effectively with motivated sellers. Emphasising the importance of speed and certainty, he explains how to identify motivated sellers and address their needs through thoughtful questioning and clear communication. KEY TAKEAWAYS To successfully close deals, it's crucial to work with motivated sellers who prioritise speed and certainty over price. Identifying their needs and providing solutions can lead to more flexible negotiations. Asking insightful questions and actively listening to sellers helps uncover their true issues. Building confidence and certainty in your ability to complete the deal is essential for keeping sellers engaged. Having a solid team in place, including a solicitor and mortgage broker, is vital. Initiating processes like searches and securing a mortgage decision in principle early can significantly reduce the time it takes to finalise a deal. Investors should have their deposit money ready before finding a deal. This can involve refinancing existing properties or securing private investors in advance to avoid last-minute stress and potential loss of opportunities. When seeking funds from private investors, it's important to establish trust. Many potential investors may not require detailed deal information if they believe in your expertise and track record, making it easier to secure funding. BEST MOMENTS "If you can find these motivated sellers and give them the speed and certainty they need, they'll be very flexible on the price and or the terms of the sale." "We're never going to say to someone, yes, I'm going to buy your property, unless we actually are going to buy it. We're not going to give people false hope." "A purchase option gives you the right to buy but not the obligation to. You don't have to buy if you don't want to." "You want to give the speed and certainty to the seller and get deals done quickly."

Ep 264Why Would Someone Lend You Money?
Simon looks into the common concern many aspiring property investors face: why would someone lend them money? Simon explains that successful investors often rely on other people's money after exhausting their own resources, and encourages you to rethink your approach to asking for funds, suggesting you position yourself as offering an opportunity for profit rather than begging KEY TAKEAWAYS Many successful property investors eventually run out of their own cash and must rely on other people's money. This can include traditional financing methods like mortgages, credit cards, or overdrafts, which are all forms of using someone else's funds. Instead of approaching potential lenders with a mindset of begging for money, consider positioning the conversation as an opportunity to share profits. This shift in perspective can make the interaction feel more positive and collaborative. Avoid making assumptions about who has money or who would be willing to lend it. People may have financial resources that you are unaware of, and it’s important to communicate your investment opportunities to those in your network. When seeking loans, it’s crucial to establish trust with potential lenders. They are more likely to lend money if they believe in your ability to generate returns and repay the loan. Educating yourself about property investing can enhance your credibility. BEST MOMENTS "I want to change the way you look at this. I want to change your belief because the reality is most successful investors... generally run out of their own cash and they have to use other people's money." "Imagine you're going to people and saying, who do you know who might want to share some of my profit? That is a totally different positioning." "If you don't tell them about your property investing... you're stealing the opportunity of them making money because you're not even telling them about the opportunity." "When someone lends you money, they're lending it to you because they like you and they trust you and they believe you that you're going to give them a great return." "When you learn how to find good deals, you don't need to use your own money. There are plenty of other people out there who will fund those deals for you."

Ep 263Creative Property Problem Solving
Simon examines the importance of creative thinking in property investment, positioning property investors as problem solvers. He illustrates how understanding the true motivations of sellers can lead to innovative solutions that benefit both parties, and why we should adopt a broader perspective when approaching property deals, exploring various strategies to achieve win-win outcomes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investors should approach their role as entrepreneurs and problem solvers, focusing on understanding the true needs and motivations of property sellers to find innovative solutions. Instead of selling a property to access funds for new deals, investors can consider options like remortgaging or finding joint venture partners to leverage existing equity without losing ownership. It's crucial to ask questions and listen to sellers to uncover their underlying problems and goals, which can lead to mutually beneficial solutions that satisfy both parties. By providing value to sellers and addressing their needs, investors can create scenarios where both parties benefit, leading to successful property transactions. Engaging with case studies and learning from others in the field can enhance creative thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling investors to identify more opportunities in the property market. BEST MOMENTS "An entrepreneur spots a problem in the market, they come up with a solution that people are prepared to pay for." "When we find a seller who wants to sell a property, we need to understand what are they actually trying to achieve?" "If you give the other person what they want, they're more likely to give you what you want." "It's all about thinking what's the end game I want to achieve and what are the different ways, what are the different creative strategies I can use to get to that end point."

Ep 262From Doctors to Property Investors
Simon discusses property investment strategies with Ian and Laura Sheldrake, a couple who have successfully transitioned from traditional property ventures to more lucrative opportunities. As busy doctors with three young children, they share their journey of learning and growth through the Mastermind program, where they focused on the BRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) to replace their income. KEY TAKEAWAYS Investing in property education can significantly shorten the learning curve and help avoid costly mistakes. The experience gained from structured programs can lead to more effective strategies and better decision-making. Utilising other people's money and expertise can enhance investment opportunities. Transitioning from a homeowner mindset to an investor mindset allows for greater financial growth and collaboration. Adopting a modern method of auction with extended completion times provides security for both buyers and sellers. This approach allows for better planning and reduces the stress associated with traditional sales. Managing multiple projects simultaneously rather than completing one before starting another can accelerate growth. This strategy allows for more efficient use of time and resources, leading to increased cash flow. BEST MOMENTS "We recognised that there was an opportunity cost in that process... our time could be better used." "The belief of what you're believing what you think can be achieved has been a huge change." "I thought, well, that's very nice. But you know, I'm sensible. I'm not gonna be silly." "We went into it with a homeowner mindset and we've come out of it with an investor mindset." "It's just been a really enjoyable experience... we've both learnt a lot and grown a lot through the process."

Ep 261The Potential Impact of the October Budget
Simon discusses the potential implications of the upcoming Labour government's budget on property investing, particularly focusing on anticipated increases in capital gains tax. He explains how these changes could create a unique opportunity for investors in the next four weeks, as many landlords may rush to sell their properties before the new tax rates take effect. He also outlines strategies for negotiating better deals, including vendor finance, which allows sellers to maximise their sale price while minimising their tax liabilities. KEY TAKEAWAYS The upcoming budget from the Labour government is expected to include tax increases, particularly in capital gains tax, which could significantly impact property investors. The next four weeks present a unique opportunity for investors to negotiate lower prices with landlords who may want to sell before the potential tax increases take effect. Investors can consider using vendor finance, where the property seller acts as the bank, allowing for quicker transactions and potentially avoiding higher capital gains tax rates after the budget. If many landlords decide to sell before the budget due to anticipated tax hikes, it could lead to a surge in property listings, creating a buyer's market and potentially lowering property prices. Investors are encouraged to act swiftly and implement strategies to secure deals before the budget announcement, as opportunities often arise during times of uncertainty in the market. BEST MOMENTS "We expect there are going to be some tax increases... capital gains tax is one of the areas that many people believe we're going to see an increase in taxes." "For the next month, you could go out and find people who have got a property that they want to sell... they realise if they sell now, they're probably going to pay a lot less tax." "I would put money on the fact they're definitely going to raise the capital gains tax rate." "When everyone else is panicking and worrying about what could happen, there's always a silver lining if you know how to look for it."

Ep 260How To Attract Motivated Sellers To You Every Day With Below Market Value Properties
Simon welcomes Lee Blake, who shares his journey from a traditional property career to becoming a successful property investor. They delve into strategies for attracting motivated sellers and securing below market value (BMV) deals. Lee recounts his experiences with various property deals, highlighting the importance of understanding sellers' motivations and building rapport. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Motivated Sellers: It's crucial to recognise that motivated sellers often prioritise solving their problems over maximising their sale price. Building rapport and empathy can lead to better deals. Effective Website Optimisation: A well-optimised website is essential for attracting motivated sellers. It should not only look good but also function effectively to rank well on search engines and generate leads. Follow-Up Systems: Implementing a robust follow-up system for leads is vital. Many potential sellers may not be ready to sell immediately, but consistent follow-up can convert them into motivated sellers over time. Creative Deal Structuring: Utilising creative strategies, such as options and delayed completions, can help in negotiating better deals. Understanding various exit strategies can also enhance the potential of each property investment. BEST MOMENTS "I always look for more than one exit; if I can have five or six different exits, this is a great deal." "I think it's quite often just asking them, what's your issue and how can I help you? Just letting people talk." "I got a risk value of £250,000 for it and then I remortgaged... I basically got a free house."

Ep 259Suzi's £1.2M JV first deal
Simon is joined by Suzi Carter, a chartered surveyor with over 30 years of experience in commercial property. Suzi shares her transition from the corporate world to becoming a successful residential and commercial investor after joining a Mastermind program. The conversation delves into the differences between commercial and residential property investing, highlighting the unique advantages of commercial real estate, such as longer leases and the ability to add value through creative strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals with a corporate background may struggle to adapt to the entrepreneurial mindset required for property investment. Gaining the right mindset and knowledge is crucial for success in this field. Commercial properties are valued based on their income potential, using a multiplier on the rent. This allows investors to add value through strategic actions, such as securing tenants or extending leases, rather than relying solely on extensive refurbishments. The commercial property market is heavily influenced by supply and demand. Identifying areas with high demand and limited supply can lead to better investment opportunities, even in sectors that may seem less favourable, like retail. When investing in commercial property, it's essential to consider various exit strategies. This includes potential conversions to residential use or splitting properties into smaller units, which can enhance value and reduce risk. A significant portion of commercial property deals occur off-market, making it vital to build relationships with commercial agents. Additionally, using pension funds, such as a SAS, can provide tax advantages and facilitate property purchases. BEST MOMENTS "I don't think there's anything in any shape or form in the corporate world that prepares you for being an entrepreneur." "The skill in terms of knowing what kind of property to buy, where to buy it and what to do with it is kind of where the magic lies, really." "The biggest tip I can give people is that the commercial market more than really any market is about supply and demand." "If you're using a bit of knowledge and a bit of expertise, you can actually add massive value without spending a lot of money sometimes." "Start with the end in mind, so work out where you want to get to and why you want to get there."

Ep 258Unlocking Potential: How a Motivated Seller Led to a Life-Changing Deal
Simon sits down with mastermind delegate Danielle Saunders to discuss her remarkable journey in the property industry. Danielle shares the details of a life-changing deal that is set to yield a £300,000 profit for her and her husband. With nearly 20 years of experience in property, Danielle recounts the challenges she faced while navigating the complexities of a rural property with an agricultural occupancy restriction. She highlights the importance of mindset, due diligence, and the value of surrounding oneself with a supportive community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals and having a supportive community can significantly boost confidence and motivation in property investing. Engaging in programs like Mastermind can provide accountability and encouragement. Finding motivated sellers is crucial in property deals. Understanding their needs and challenges can lead to successful negotiations and solutions that benefit both parties. Conducting thorough research and due diligence is essential, especially when dealing with properties that have restrictions, such as agricultural occupancy ties. Knowledge of these issues can create opportunities for value enhancement. Effective negotiation can make a significant difference in securing a deal. Building rapport and understanding what the seller truly wants can lead to creative solutions that satisfy both parties. BEST MOMENTS "When you really deep dive into things, it really opens your eyes to the things you can achieve." "If you have the right knowledge and the right mindset, you can absolutely do whatever you want to do." "Remember, sellers are looking for speed and certainty. They want to get deals done quickly." "My mindset has changed so much in the last year doing Mastermind. I went from thinking £55,000, I cannot ever risk that, to thinking... if we lose 55k, I know I can recoup that in another deal."

Ep 257The Property Investor Journey
Simon welcomes special guest, Dan Hill, founder of the successful Property Entrepreneur program. Dan shares his journey as a property investor over the past 10-12 years, highlighting key strategies and insights he has gained along the way. Dan emphasises the importance of treating property investing as a business, focusing on systemising and scaling operations to achieve long-term success. He also discusses the current market conditions, pointing out the unique opportunities present in the current economic landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dan emphasises the importance of treating property as a business and implementing systems to scale and grow effectively. Starting with rent-to-rent to test the waters, then moving on to joint ventures and larger deals, Dan highlights the importance of progressing through different investment strategies. The current market conditions, with uncertainty and potential policy changes, present unique opportunities for property investors. Dan advocates for the concept of "living off the steam," where the aim is to work once, earn forever by investing in low-risk, low-return assets for long-term financial freedom. Finding what you enjoy and excelling at it is key to long-term success and fulfilment in property investing, according to Dan's perspective. BEST MOMENTS "I've sort of completed the game up to the level I want to get to, and I'm really looking at what my next passion is, purpose is." "The aim of the game is to live off the steam. So without going too much into it, the only aim of the game is to live off the steam is to work hard, earn once and then live forever." "You're going to work anyway, why not find something you enjoy? Do it really work really hard? Make some good money, save it, be diligent, be shrewd, invest it, and play the long game." "Life is definitely too short. It's all about living. So try and find what you're doing. And I think sometimes just in property, people think, well, I'm not really passionate about property."

Ep 256Understanding Property Cycles
Simon looks into the intricacies of property cycles, guiding listeners on how to identify the optimal times for property investment within these cycles. The episode outlines the four key phases of a property cycle: growth, peak, decline, and recovery. Drawing on personal experiences and historical market trends, Simon stresses the importance of recognising the current buyer's market as a prime opportunity for investors to secure lucrative deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property cycles consist of four phases: growth, peak, decline, and recovery. The peak of the property market is characterised by high prices and a decrease in affordability for buyers. The buyer's market phase is considered the best time to buy, as there are more sellers than buyers, leading to potential discounts and flexible deals. Government interventions, such as stamp duty holidays and loans, can impact property market trends and prevent a market crash. Taking action during a buyer's market, like the current one, can lead to securing fantastic property deals and capitalising on opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "I believe this is absolutely the very best time to buy because there are not as many buyers, there are more sellers and so prices not only come down but you also see sellers become more motivated and more flexible." "So really now and probably for the next six months is the time where you want to become very active to secure some fantastic property deals." "I believe when prices are still coming down and there's still this uncertainty, that's when many property investors want to get out of the market and so are prepared to give you a big discount." "So my message is get educated, keep your ear to the ground and obviously attending Property Investor Network meetings on a monthly basis is a very good way of hearing exactly what's happening in your area."

Ep 255How To Achieve Your Goals Using Leverage
Simon puts the focus on leveraging resources to achieve property investment goals, emphasising the importance of not limiting decisions based on personal resources and instead leveraging other people's time, money, and experience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Leverage is essential for achieving property investing goals, utilising other people's resources like time, money, and experience. Networking is crucial in property investing to tap into resources and opportunities that can help in achieving success. Good debt, like investing in property with a mortgage, can be beneficial as it allows for asset appreciation and income generation. Managing time effectively by outsourcing tasks like deal sourcing, property management, and using virtual assistants can lead to more focus on acquiring properties. Continuous learning and investing in oneself is key to staying updated, improving skills, and accelerating success in property investing. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to be truly successful in life, you need to learn how to leverage other people's resources." "You need to tap into your existing network and also people who you don't know yet." "Don't allow a lack of time to be a reason not to invest in property. It's not really the lack of time, it's the lack of priority." "Your network is your net worth." "Invest with knowledge, invest with skill."

Ep 254Lessons From The National Virtual Pin Meeting
Simon talks about the key takeaways from the virtual national pin meeting, focusing on the impact of the new Labour government on property investing. Expert speakers, including Nicole D'Souza and Debbie Solomon, discussed crucial topics such as the shortage of skilled labor in construction, the need for affordable housing, and potential tax implications for property investors. Simon highlights the current buyer's market, the impact of political decisions on property investment, and the importance of seizing opportunities in the market. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a shortage of skilled labour in the construction industry, partly due to the lack of young apprentices and experienced tradespeople. Local councils aim for more affordable housing, but they must incentivise builders to create a profitable environment for development. Many political candidates, including elected officials, lack awareness of Section 24 tax changes affecting property investors. The government may not introduce rent caps, but local councils could have the power to implement them, potentially impacting the rental market. The current market favours buyers due to fewer active buyers, making it an opportune time for property investors to engage with motivated sellers. BEST MOMENTS "Debbie Solomon discussed the challenge of balancing the need for affordable housing in local councils while incentivising builders to construct properties, highlighting the potential impact on the housing market." "Ben Beadle mentioned that the civil servants, although they listen and understand the issues faced by landlords, may not be incentivised to help due to personal biases, potentially affecting policy decisions." "Ben Beadle also emphasised that the current and previous chancellors are aware of the Section 24 tax issue for property investors but are reluctant to make changes, indicating potential challenges for investors in the future."

Ep 2534 Reasons To Attend Property Magic LIVE
Simon discusses the upcoming Property Magic Live event and highlights four key reasons why listeners should attend. The event, scheduled for 13th to 15th September, aims to reinvigorate property investors post-summer holidays and provide them with strategies to capitalise on the current buyer's market. Simon delves into the benefits of attending, such as learning from successful students, exploring creative finance options like purchase lease options and vendor finance, expanding one's network, and boosting self-belief in property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The event is scheduled for 13th to 15th September and offers a hybrid experience, allowing attendees to join either in person in Birmingham or virtually from anywhere in the world. The current market presents a buyers market with more sellers than buyers, making it ideal for acquiring properties using creative finance structures like purchase lease options and vendor finance. Attending the event provides a chance to connect with high-caliber individuals in the property industry, expanding your network with like-minded people who understand your goals and can support your journey. Hearing success stories from top students at the event can help build personal belief in the possibility of achieving similar results in property investing, overcoming self-doubt and excuses. The event offers a 100% money-back guarantee up to lunchtime on the second day, ensuring attendees have nothing to lose and everything to gain by participating. BEST MOMENTS "We deliberately time this event to be just after the school holidays, once all the kids have gone back to school, because we know that many, many property investors take lots of time off in the summer holiday." "Now, at this event, what we do is we get some of our top students who are achieving incredible life-changing results right now in the current property market, and we share the exact strategies that they are using." "Because there are more and more sellers who need to sell, sellers are getting more and more motivated, which means they're open to creative finance structures." "And we can actually offer them more money than they would get if they sold the property right now. It's all about finding the win-win." "I've been teaching people since 2003, and I can tell you one of the biggest things that hold people back is self-belief."

Ep 252Make Hay While The Sun Shines
Simon focusses upon the current opportune time for property investment in the UK market. With a buyer's market, a recent general election outcome, and the upcoming summer holiday period, there is a unique window for investors to capitalise on motivated sellers and less competition, and Simon encourages you to take action, even during the holiday season, by leveraging tools like Property Filter to identify potential deals and explore various investment strategies such as vendor finance and purchase options. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current property market is a buyer's market, with more sellers than buyers, creating opportunities for investors to find motivated sellers and flexible deals. The combination of a buyer's market, post-election uncertainties, and the summer holiday period presents a unique opportunity for property investors to take action and make progress in the next two months. It's essential to educate oneself on property strategies and take consistent action to secure deals. Implementation is key to success in property investing. Building belief in one's ability to succeed in property investing, learning from others' experiences, and expanding one's knowledge and mindset are crucial for long-term success. To achieve different results and change one's life, it's necessary to make smart decisions and take advantage of the current market conditions to benefit in the long run. BEST MOMENTS "I believe now is always a good time as long as you know what you're doing, doesn't matter what's happening in the market." "This general election might mean a lot of people think that's it. I'm now going to sell my properties. So that's a really good thing for us if we're building our portfolio." "There are opportunities absolutely everywhere. Everywhere there are opportunities." "It's all about finding the win-win. And the problem is, most people don't know what they don't know." "If you want to change your life, you need to do things differently. You need to do a few things differently for what you currently do if you want to get different results in the future."

Ep 251Be Careful Who You Listen To
Simon shares a cautionary tale about the importance of being selective about the advice you receive in the property investing world. Drawing from a recent experience with an estate agent who provided incorrect information about a property for sale, he discusses the need to critically evaluate the expertise and credibility of individuals offering guidance in property investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be cautious of who you listen to, especially in the property industry, as misinformation can lead to costly mistakes. Verify information provided by professionals such as estate agents, builders, and advisors to ensure it aligns with current regulations and best practices. Seek advice from experienced mentors and coaches in property investing who have a proven track record of success. Take personal responsibility for investment decisions and conduct thorough research before making any commitments. Attend the National Virtual PIN Meeting in August to gain valuable insights on the impact of the new Labour government on property investing and network with industry experts. BEST MOMENTS "Imagine an investor who didn't know as much believes what this agent said. They could be in serious, serious difficulty if they bought that property." "I've been teaching people how to invest in property for 21 years. I've been investing myself for 29 years, but I still don't know everything." "The danger here, someone could say oh yes I'll have that property, they put down their 4.25% which is the best part of £11,000 plus VAT, which is non-refundable by the way." "So the moral of this whole podcast, and I hope you've got the message, please, please be careful of who you listen to especially in a state agent they should have a bit of knowledge letting agent a builder."

Ep 250The Death Of Property Investing
Simon discusses the potential impact of the new Labour government's policies on property investing, looking into the government's plan to build 1.5 million new homes over five years and the implications this may have on property developers. Additionally, he explores the possibility of rent controls and rent caps being introduced, drawing parallels to the situation in Scotland. The episode raises concerns about the potential effects of these policies on landlords and property investors, sparking a debate on the future of property investing under the new government. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Labour government plans to build 1.5 million new homes over five years, potentially increasing the supply of properties in the market. There are concerns that the Labour government may introduce rent controls, leading to landlords selling their properties and impacting the rental market. The possibility of rent controls and other policies may lead some property investors to exit the market, creating opportunities for those staying or entering the market. A panel debate at the upcoming national virtual PIN meeting will discuss the impact of the new Labour government on property investing, featuring industry experts. First-time attendees can use the voucher code "PODCAST" to attend the national PIN meeting for free, providing valuable insights into the current property market situation. BEST MOMENTS "The Labour government have said during their term of five years, they're going to build 1.5 million new homes. And that's what's needed 300,000 a year." "I think this policy is slightly counter-intuitive if they want small developers to help build more." "I'm really concerned that the Labour government and the policy makers in Whitehall, they're not going to consult." "I think if that does happen I think a lot of landlords will say, you know, this is the final straw." "I just want you to be a truly successful investor. I believe you can do anything you want to do if you get the right knowledge, you get the right support, and you have the right mindset."

"If you're not really clear on what you actually want to achieve, then you're never going to get there. It's a bit like jumping in an Uber car and saying, take me somewhere. And they say, where do you want to go? Well, I don't know." "Many people think they need lots of money to invest, and some property investing does need money. People look at their bank account and think, oh my God, I've not got enough money to invest. But there are many other ways, many hidden assets you can use to invest in property." "Most people who do the Property Management Challenge actually find a deal when they put what we teach into action. And they're amazed how easy it is to find deals when you know how to do it."

Ep 248General Election Special
Simon brings you an election special, analysing the property-related aspects of the major party manifestos. The episode covers the manifestos of the Labour Party, Conservative Party, and the newly emerging Reform Party, highlighting key distinctions in their approaches to property investing. From discussing the need for planning reform and building new homes to addressing issues like Section 24 and stamp duty, Simon provides a comprehensive breakdown of each party's proposals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party emphasise the need for planning reform to address the housing shortage in the UK. The Labour Party aims to increase the provision of affordable housing by developers, while the Conservative Party plans to lift the 106 requirements for small developments. The Reform Party proposes abolishing Section 24, a tax policy affecting landlords, while the Conservative Party suggests a temporary capital gains tax relief for landlords selling properties to tenants. The Reform Party takes a nationalistic stance by prioritising UK nationals over foreign immigrants in terms of housing, contrasting with other parties' approaches. BEST MOMENTS "The Labour Party in their manifesto keep on talking about stop the chaos and turn the page, looking for change, suggesting that what the Tories have done for the X number of years obviously has not left the country in a very good state." "The Reform Party have mentioned some things they want to, they haven't given a lot of detail away, but there's one very important thing that I think they want to try and win lots of votes with." "The Conservatives are going to get rid of that for small development. So that's a complete opposite view. And that's actually more like the things Conservatives should be doing, in my view, to help support property investors."

Ep 247The Power Of Persistence
Simon looks at the importance of persistence in achieving success. Drawing parallels between property investing and personal experiences, he highlights the significance of not giving up too quickly, especially when faced with initial rejection or setbacks. The episode also provides a four-step process for listeners to follow when feeling discouraged or considering giving up. KEY TAKEAWAYS Developing persistence is crucial for success in various aspects of life, including property investing. A rejection or a "no" doesn't necessarily mean the end; it could just mean "not now." Following up and being persistent can lead to positive outcomes. It's essential to assess and challenge limiting beliefs that may hinder progress towards goals. Ensure that you are following the correct process and have all the necessary knowledge to achieve desired results. Consulting with a mentor or coach can provide valuable insights and help identify blind spots that may be impeding progress. BEST MOMENTS "No does not mean no, never. It means no, not now." "Either you do or you don't. For example, if you try and pick up a pen, either you pick the pen up or you don't." "If they've accepted your offer, it means you've offered them too much money. You want them to say no." "Some of the very best property deals I have done have come from the fact I've followed up with the seller on a consistent basis." "If you become more persistent in your life, in all areas of your life, whether it's personal, business, property, I promise you, you're going to be more successful."

Ep 246The 6 Most Common Mistakes Made By Deal Sourcers
Simon delves into the six main mistakes commonly made by property deal sourcers, highlighting the importance of understanding what constitutes a great deal, the significance of working with motivated sellers, and the necessity of effective negotiation skills. KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowing what makes a great deal is crucial for property deal sourcers to be successful. Deal sourcers should focus on working with motivated sellers to secure flexible deals. Negotiation skills are essential for deal sourcers to secure and close profitable property deals. Deal sourcers should avoid being too tunnel-visioned on one strategy and remain open to different opportunities. It is important for deal sourcers to find investors to pass on deals to or joint venture with, to maximise profits and opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "Many deal sources make lots and lots of low offers. They all get rejected and they just give up thinking this doesn't work." "A great deal is a deal where you can put a small amount of money in, either initially, or you put money in and you can recycle it out." "There are some fantastic deals out there right now. A lot of deal sources get very tunnel visioned. They think I've got to sell all these deals to make money for me to be able to buy the ones I want to keep."

Ep 245Follow Your Passion
Simon discusses the concept of following your passion in property investing, sharing a personal story of how he transitioned from a corporate career at Cadbury's to full-time property investing, and emphasising the importance of replacing income with passive property income. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to be passionate about the results property can bring rather than the property itself. Achieving financial freedom through property investing is highlighted as a key goal, allowing individuals to have more time and space to pursue their passions and purpose. We should always try to invest time and effort upfront for long-term financial success. Give back and help others, which only adds to the value of not only personal success but also contributes to the well-being of others. BEST MOMENTS "You don't need to be passionate about property. All you need is to be passionate about what property can do for you." "I believe the opportunity is for you to make those smart decisions to invest in yourself, put the time and effort in upfront and work once, get paid forever." "I feel really sorry for kids who go to schools and their parents are on benefits, their grandparents are on benefits, and they expect that is all that they are going to get." "I had to make some Smart decisions. Now he uses the word smart decisions instead of short-term sacrifices."

Ep 244How To Conduct Your Due Diligence in Property
Simon delves into the crucial topic of conducting due diligence in property investing. Drawing on his nearly 30 years of experience, he focusses on the importance of thorough research to avoid costly mistakes, and covers key aspects such as determining property value, assessing rental income, and ensuring positive cash flow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Conducting thorough due diligence is crucial in property investing to avoid costly mistakes and ensure success. When assessing a property, determining its value, rental income, and potential for cash flow and return on investment are essential factors to consider. When working with deal sourcers, it is important to ensure they are compliant, have proper training, and can provide evidence of successful deals. When vetting suppliers and partners, longevity, reputation, and recommendations from other investors are key indicators of reliability. Checking the background, assets, and credit score of individuals involved in a deal is vital to assess their credibility and financial stability. BEST MOMENTS "I see people lose money, make expensive mistakes because they haven't done correct due diligence." "You want to make sure they have enough money, and the money is actually available when it's going to be required." "Please never ever pay anybody money up front to find you deals." "Just be careful because I want to make sure you don't make expensive mistakes."

Ep 243From £100k Loss To £100k Profit
Simon shares a success story of a client who was on the brink of losing £100,000 on a property project gone wrong. Through expert advice and coaching, the client turned the situation around and is now set to make a profit of at least £100,000, if not more. The episode delves into the importance of seeking expert help, finding motivated sellers, understanding the risks of joint ventures, and the significance of due diligence when partnering with others in property investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Seeking expert help and advice in property investment can lead to significant financial gains and turnaround in challenging situations. It is crucial to conduct thorough due diligence when entering into joint ventures to ensure the partners are fit for the purpose and have the necessary expertise. Exploring creative solutions, such as changing property usage or partnering with experienced individuals, can lead to more profitable outcomes in property investments. Seeking advice and sense-checking decisions with more experienced individuals can help identify blind spots and opportunities for maximising profits in property projects. Striving for win-win solutions in property transactions can benefit both parties involved, turning challenging situations into profitable opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "If you're going to joint venture with someone or if you have a buyer and they say they're going to buy cash, you want to ask them, do you actually mean cash or do you mean you're going to get some sort of finance?" "I've got an 18-month, 24-month project to build a big portfolio that we're going to pass on." "Sometimes you see sellers and they're in a situation where they want to get rid of a property, and they know what the potential is, but they just don't want to or can't do it themselves."

Ep 242The Benefits Of Stretching Your Comfort Zone
Simon discusses the importance of stretching one's comfort zone for personal growth and success. Drawing on the idea that change and growth occur outside of one's comfort zone, he shares personal anecdotes and examples from the world of property investing to illustrate the benefits of pushing boundaries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success lies just outside of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable in order to grow and achieve success. Fear is often just in our heads. Challenge yourself to face your fears and push through them to achieve personal growth and success. Identify things you know you should do but are avoiding due to fear or discomfort. Challenge yourself to take action and push your comfort zone. Pushing your comfort zone leads to personal growth and development. Embrace the discomfort and awkwardness to achieve new levels of success. Gain property education and surround yourself with like-minded individuals to support your growth and success in property investing. BEST MOMENTS "Your success is waiting for you just outside of your comfort zone." "Fear is often just in our head. A great acronym is false expectations appearing real." "You're not going to die. You might be a bit embarrassed. You might feel a bit awkward, but you'll get over that." "Your success, whether it's personally, in your business, in your property investing, is waiting for you just outside of your comfort zone." "What can you do to push your comfort zone and grow that comfort zone so you become a more successful person?"

Ep 241Interest Rate And House Price Update
Simon provides a comprehensive update on the current property market conditions following the Bank of England's decision to maintain interest rates at 5.25%. He discusses the impact of inflation, rental rates, and property prices on property investors. Emphasising the importance of seizing opportunities in the market, Simon tells you why you need to focus on finding motivated sellers, areas with strong rental demand, and properties that generate positive cash flow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Interest rates have remained unchanged at 5.25% since 2008, but there is speculation that they may come down in 2024. Rental rates have increased by an average of 9.2% over the last 12 months, outpacing inflation. Property prices are stagnating on average, with cheaper properties and apartments showing sharper growth. The current market presents opportunities for investors to find great deals due to low competition. Investing in property with a focus on long-term gains and following the five golden rules can lead to success regardless of short-term market fluctuations. BEST MOMENTS "Many people believe actually August might be the first time we're going to see rates come down and the general consensus is that probably rates are going to come down three times during 2024." "If you follow the golden rules, particularly rule two, three, and four, whereby we are picking up properties where we know there's strong rental demand, it makes positive cash flow, and we're holding long term, does it really matter what happens to prices short term?" "I think there'll be a little bit of a mini boom in the property market in 2025. Now, I could be completely wrong. I don't know. To be honest, I don't really care because, as I say, I don't mind what happens short term to property prices." "I wish I had somebody like me telling me when I first started to just get on with it, go and find some great deals. But I didn't have someone like me helping me. You don't have that excuse."

Ep 240Maximising Your Most Valuable Resource
Simon looks at the importance of time as the most valuable resource in a property business. Drawing on personal experiences and insights from successful entrepreneurs like Robert Kiyosaki and Brad Sugar, Simon highlights the significance of leveraging time effectively to maximise productivity and growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Time is the most valuable resource in business and should be used wisely. Investing in help and delegating tasks can save time and lead to business growth. Focus on high-value activities that generate revenue rather than getting caught up in low-impact tasks. Utilise tools and resources, such as Property Filter, to streamline processes and save time in property investment. Prioritise tasks by either doing them yourself, delegating them, or eliminating them altogether to maximise productivity. BEST MOMENTS "Rich people will spend our money to save time. So we'll spend money to get our time back." "Not employing someone in your business is costing you a fortune." "Focus on the most important things that are going to move you forward." "Invest with knowledge, invest with skill."

Ep 239Making The Most Of Your Property Journey
Simon explores the various stages of a property investor's journey, delving into key aspects such as setting clear goals, adapting strategies based on goals and resources, utilising available resources effectively, transitioning from personal management to professional property management, expanding one's network, and conducting regular portfolio reviews. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to be clear about what you want to achieve from property investing and why you want to achieve it. Goals may evolve from income replacement to lifestyle enhancement and generational wealth creation. Align your property investment strategy with your goals, available resources, and expertise. Avoid dabbling in multiple strategies and focus on mastering one that suits your objectives. Look beyond just money in the bank and consider leveraging existing assets like equity in properties, pensions, and other people's resources to fund deals. Utilise tools like the Strategy Profile Test to identify the best strategies based on your resources. Building a strong network of like-minded individuals in the property industry is essential for support, learning from others' experiences, and potential collaboration on deals. Your network can significantly impact your success in property investing. Regularly review your property portfolio to assess performance, return on equity, and potential for optimisation. Consider factors like cash flow, ROI, and future planning, including inheritance tax implications, to ensure long-term success and wealth preservation. BEST MOMENTS "If you find a really good profitable property deal, there's enough profit in it for not only you, but for someone else to make a good income from that deal." "Your network is your net worth. I want you to take that to heart and I want you to think about what are you doing to grow your network." "There comes a point where really you should not be managing. You can absolutely do a few, very much part time." "I think it's important to recognise where you are in your journey. Recognise you might need to change and adapt what you do as you grow."

He demystifies HMOs and provide valuable insights on how to avoid costly errors as well as emphasising that HMOs can be a lucrative investment strategy, capable of replacing income in a relatively short period. By debunking common misconceptions, such as the assumption that HMOs are only for experienced investors or that they require substantial upfront capital, Simon encourages listeners to explore the potential of HMO properties. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are various types of tenants for HMO properties, including young professionals, working individuals, and those on benefits. Understanding this can help in maximising the potential of HMO investments. While HMOs are considered more advanced, beginners can also venture into this strategy with proper knowledge and guidance. It's essential to focus on the potential profitability rather than solely on experience. Contrary to popular belief, substantial personal funds are not always necessary for HMO investments. Options like private loans, joint ventures, rent to rent, and purchase options can be utilised to finance HMO projects effectively. Instead of competing on price, focusing on providing high-end, co-living HMO properties can attract better tenants, higher rents, and longer tenancies. This approach can lead to increased profitability and reduced void periods. Many individuals hold back from investing in HMOs due to lack of knowledge or misconceptions. By gaining the necessary training and understanding the strategies involved, one can unlock the potential of HMO investments and achieve significant financial gains. BEST MOMENTS "HMOs, Houses of Multiple Occupation, is probably one of the fastest strategies for you to replace your income." "I think a lot of people are put off doing HMOs because they don't really understand them." "The only way you should do that, in my opinion, which is what many of my students do, is they take an HMO, they rent it to a charity who specialises in supporting people who have special needs." "I wouldn't say they're easy, because easy suggests there's no effort. There's definitely time and effort required."

Ep 237Don't Buy In Property Hotspots
Simon discusses the pitfalls of investing in property hotspots, using Dubai as an example. He emphasises the risks associated with buying in areas experiencing rapid price increases, such as oversupply and lack of positive cash flow. He also shares personal experiences with off-plan property investments and highlights the importance of researching areas with growing populations for better capital growth potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think twice about investing in property hotspots due to the potential risks associated with inflated prices and lack of positive cash flow. Off-plan property investments, especially in international locations, can pose challenges such as oversupply and currency fluctuations. To achieve better than average capital growth, investors should target areas experiencing faster population growth, driven by factors like new infrastructure, incentives, and economic stimulation. In any market condition, there are always motivated sellers willing to negotiate on price and terms, providing opportunities for investors to secure properties at favourable terms. BEST MOMENTS "I believe if you're holding property long term, don't worry about short term blips up and blips down because we're holding long term." "I have done it in the past. I have made some money from it. I know a lot of people lose money from it, so you need to be very careful." "So what I want to do is teach you how you can get better than average capital growth." "Find areas before they become a hotspot by looking for the areas where you're going to get faster population growth and other areas."

Ep 236Should You Buy with Cash or Mortgages?
Simon discusses the advantages of buying properties with mortgages compared to buying for cash. He provides numerical examples to illustrate how leveraging mortgages can lead to higher returns and increased cash flow over time. Simon also emphasises the power of using other people's money to invest in property and highlights various creative funding strategies for those with limited capital. KEY TAKEAWAYS Using mortgages allows for more properties to be purchased, increasing overall cash flow and potential profits. Property values tend to increase over time, especially due to the shortage of accommodation and increasing population. Various methods, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, vendor finance, joint ventures, or loans, can be utilised when running out of personal funds. By leveraging mortgages and multiple properties, the potential return on investment can be significantly higher compared to buying properties outright with cash. BEST MOMENTS "But what you need to remember is that when you get a mortgage or using someone else's money to buy a property, it means your deposits can go further and your tenants who rent the property from you, they are going to be more than covering the cost of the mortgage." "The reality is we live on an island in the UK. There is not enough accommodation. We have the increasing population. So over time, both the rents and property values go up." "If you have money, whether it's savings, inheritance, money in your business. It's not doing you any favours sitting in the bank. By putting it into property, not only can you get a much better cash flow, you also benefit from that long-term capital growth."

Ep 235How To Reduce Your Property Tax
Simon delves into the crucial topic of tax and how property investors can minimise the amount they pay. The episode covers various types of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax, providing valuable insights on how each tax can impact property investors. Listeners learn about strategies to reduce tax liabilities, including structuring property ownership, utilising tax-efficient company structures, and planning for inheritance tax. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding different types of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax is crucial for property investors to minimise the amount of tax they pay. Utilising strategies like changing the percentage of beneficial ownership in jointly owned properties can help lower tax liabilities, especially for higher rate taxpayers. Section 24, introduced in April 2017, restricts the ability to offset all interest costs on mortgages against rental income, impacting property owners in higher tax brackets. Capital gains tax is incurred when selling a property that is not a primary residence, with the tax rate varying based on the gain from the property's purchase price. Planning ahead to mitigate inheritance tax through careful estate planning and seeking advice from tax specialists can help protect valuable property portfolios for future generations. BEST MOMENTS "Robert Kiyosaki has a great saying, he says, what you know will make you money, what you don't know will cost you money." "So, if you would never sell the property, you're never going to pay capital gains tax." "I think there'll be even more landlords who might think, you know what? Now might be a really good time to sell my property because I'm going to pay less tax on that gain." "So, really important to get some advice and also get a will in place." "Generally, for most people moving forward, Buying in a company structure seems to be the most tax efficient way."

Ep 234Bank Of England Interest Rate Update
Simon delves into the impact of interest rates on property investing, beginning with the recent decision by the Bank of England to maintain the base rate at 5.25% amidst falling inflation rates. He emphasises the current buyer's market, highlighting opportunities for investors to negotiate favourable purchase prices. Additionally, insights are shared on potential future interest rate reductions and their implications on the property market. KEY TAKEAWAYS Interest rates have remained high at 5.25%, impacting property investors looking to refinance or buy new properties. The current market is a buyer's market, with more sellers than buyers, presenting an opportunity for investors to negotiate good purchase prices. Advanced property investment strategies like HMOs and service accommodation can still be profitable despite high interest rates. Predictions suggest interest rates may decrease in 2024, potentially leading to a property market recovery by 2025. Landlords may be looking to sell properties in the next six months due to changes in capital gains tax rates, potentially leading to a dip in property prices in 2024. BEST MOMENTS "I think many people are wondering when we're going to see interest rates come down... Some people think we might get a drop in interest rate as soon as May or June." "I believe you should be investing all the time, not worrying about short term fluctuations... as long as the property stacks up and makes money for you." "I think it's such a great time to be investing... I'm going to be buying probably more property in the next 24 months than I probably have in the last decade." "I predict that the beginning of 2025, we're going to see the property market start to really recover... I think we're going to see reductions before that because these high interest rates are struggling or restricting the economy recovery." "Remember, only do really good property deals... have courage, get out there, find some great deals."

Ep 233Cost Mindset vs Value Mindset
Simon delves into the crucial difference between a cost mindset and a value mindset in property investing. Drawing on the ABC of mindset (Attitude, Belief, and Courage), he stresses the importance of shifting from a cost mindset, which focuses on limitations and scarcity, to a value mindset, which opens up possibilities and growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to shift from a cost mindset to a value mindset in property investing to unlock unlimited potential. Time is a valuable resource that should be prioritised over money, as it cannot be regained once lost. Delegating tasks that do not require your direct involvement allows you to focus on high-value activities that generate more income. Investing in training and education is an investment in yourself, leading to psychological upgrades and increased success in property investing. BEST MOMENTS "Poor people will spend their time to save money. This is a poor mindset." "It costs you a fortune not to hire someone in your business." "By investing in yourself, you are gaining a psychological upgrade. You're backing yourself."

Ep 232Long Term View vs Short Term Thinking
Simon analyses the crucial topic of long-term view versus short-term thinking in property investing. Emphasising the significance of mindset, he explores the three attitude adjustments essential for successful property investing: adopting an investor mindset, developing a value attitude, and focusing on long-term view over short-term gains. KEY TAKEAWAYS Long-term view versus short-term thinking is crucial for property investing success. Mindset plays a significant role in achieving success, focusing on attitude, belief, and courage. Property investing requires patience and a shift from short-term to long-term mindset. Consistent action and trust in the process are essential for long-term success in property investing. Recognise the value of long-term equity growth in property investing and the benefits of holding properties for the long term. BEST MOMENTS "Most people, when they get into property, they might have their own home and they think very much like a home owner, but they need to switch that and start thinking like an investor." "The biggest problem with flipping property is when you sell that property, you crystalise the profit. You're never going to make any more money from that property." "People learn about strategies such as reaching out to landlords via landlord letters. They send a few letters, they don't get the response they want, and guess what? They stop doing it." "By putting the time and effort into your property investing, if you're going to hold that property, you get someone else to manage it for you so you don't have to type all your time looking after it."

Ep 231The No Mortgage - No Deposit Strategy
Simon delves into the powerful strategy of the "no mortgage, no deposit" approach, offering listeners a competitive advantage in the world of property investing. With almost 30 years of experience, he shares specialist knowledge that can revolutionise how investors perceive property deals. KEY TAKEAWAYS A purchase lease option strategy allows investors to grow a profitable property portfolio without needing large deposits or mortgages. Understand the types of property sellers who may be open to purchase lease options, such as those with no equity, inherited properties, or landlords looking to retire. Purchase lease options can benefit both sellers and investors, offering sellers more money and a quicker transaction while providing investors with a way to secure properties without traditional financing. Get estate agents and solicitors on board with purchase lease options by highlighting the benefits of quicker transactions and reduced risks of sales falling through. BEST MOMENTS "This means by listening to this podcast, you're going to get a real competitive advantage." "I absolutely promise you this works in all property market conditions." "You might have heard about this before but unless you're actually doing it I suggest you probably don't know exactly how you can use it."

Ep 230What I Would Do If I Was Starting Now
Simon shares valuable insights on what he would do if starting to invest in property again. Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience in property investing, he reflects on his journey from a young graduate with student debt to a successful property investor, and emphasises the importance of creative strategies like purchase lease options, highlighting how these approaches can help aspiring investors overcome financial barriers and enter the property market. KEY TAKEAWAYS Look into the possibility of starting in property investing with minimal funds by utilising strategies like lease options and renting out rooms to cover expenses. Use purchase lease options as a key strategy for acquiring properties without the need for a large deposit or mortgage. Reach out to landlords who may be tired or retiring to explore opportunities for taking over their properties through lease options, showcasing a proactive approach to finding investment opportunities. There's great value in assembling a reliable power team, including a mortgage broker and solicitor, to navigate the complexities of property investing and secure favourable deals. BEST MOMENTS "I knew nothing about property investing. All I knew was I wanted to get my foot onto the property ladder." "I would find a landlord who was tired or retiring. I would take on a property on a lease option, ideally five or even maybe seven years." "Most landlords who are student landlords don't know this. So we can take on their empty properties, do a very light refurb, get them up to scratch, and then rent them out to young professionals." "Purchase lease options are a fantastic way of controlling property, getting cash flow and potential extra growth on a property that you don't own, which means that you don't need a mortgage and you don't need a big deposit."

Ep 229How To Sell Property For More Money In A Buyer's Market
This time the focus is on selling property for more money in the current buyer's market using Purchase Lease Options (PLOs). Simon discusses how landlords can benefit from selling properties to tenant buyers, highlighting the advantages of maximising revenue from the sale while eliminating the hassle of property management. KEY TAKEAWAYS Selling property to tenant buyers using Purchase Lease Options (PLOs) can be a lucrative strategy for maximising revenue from a property sale. Landlords who no longer want to deal with the hassle of owning a property but do not need immediate funds can benefit from selling through PLOs. Tenant buyers are individuals eager to get on the property ladder but may not qualify for a mortgage immediately, making them ideal candidates for PLO agreements. Tenant buyers pay an upfront option fee, demonstrating their commitment to purchasing the property in the future. Finding tenant buyers can be done through various methods, such as signage, leaflet distribution, and collaboration with mortgage brokers specialising in first-time buyers. BEST MOMENTS "By selling the property on a purchase lease option to a tenant buyer, there are many benefits. First of all, they get rid of the hassle, and that can be very quickly." "Most landlords, when selling a property, they want to get as much as they can from that property, but they don't necessarily need the money now." "So how do we find these people? Well, there are lots of ways. First of all, you can always put up a sign in the window of the property or outside the property saying something like, why rent when you can buy?" "And for the landlord who doesn't want their property anymore, They want to sell but don't need the money right now. Putting a tenant buyer into that property could be a great solution."

Ep 228How To Get Onto The Property Ladder Without A Mortgage
Simon discusses how individuals who are renting can get their foot onto the property ladder and how current homeowners can upgrade to a bigger property in a better area. The episode specifically caters to four groups: those who are renting and want to buy a property, homeowners looking to upgrade, individuals with equity but low income, and landlords wanting to sell their rental properties. Simon introduces the concept of tenant buyers, who move into a property as tenants but have a lease option to buy it at a fixed price within a certain time period. He also reveals a free chapter from the upcoming book on lease options for those interested in learning more about becoming a tenant buyer. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tenant buyers are individuals who move into a property as tenants but also have a lease option to buy the property at a fixed price within a certain time period. Tenant buyers take care of the property like it's their own home, including repairs, maintenance, and improvements that add value to the property. Rent paid by tenant buyers may sometimes be less than what they would pay if they owned the property with a mortgage, allowing them to save extra cash for a deposit. Tenant buyers can secure a property at today's prices and benefit from potential capital growth without needing a mortgage immediately. Landlords are often the best people to work with for lease options, as they may have properties they no longer want but don't necessarily need the money from a sale right away. BEST MOMENTS "Buying your own home could be one of the biggest decisions you will ever make." "Sometimes the rent that the tenant buyer pays each month to the landlord might actually be less than they would pay if they owned the property and had a mortgage." "So this can be very frustrating when renters see property prices go up over time, which means they'll need bigger deposits and bigger mortgages to buy in the future." "But you can find people who've got a property that they don't want, which they want to sell, but for whom they don't necessarily need the money now." "In a market where prices are coming down, it's a buyer's market right now, if someone wants to sell a property, typically they're selling it at a bit of a discount."

Ep 227How A Property Coach Can Accelerate Your Success
In this week's show, the focus is on how to achieve more in less time with the help of a property coach. Simon highlights the benefits of coaching, particularly for those looking to acquire at least one more property in the next 6 to 12 months, emphasising the importance of choosing a coach who is truly successful and experienced, rather than opting for cheaper alternatives. The episode discusses common problems that coaches can help overcome, such as lack of action, difficulty finding good deals, lack of confidence, making bad investment decisions, and giving up on dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Coaching can help you achieve more in less time in your property investing journey. It is important to choose a coach who is experienced and successful in the field, rather than someone who is just starting out. A coach can help you overcome common problems such as lack of action, difficulty finding good deals, lack of confidence, making bad investment decisions, and giving up on your dreams. Coaching can help you stay focused, accountable, and motivated, while also saving you time and money. Before considering coaching, it may be more appropriate to attend seminars or training programs to gain foundational knowledge in property investing. BEST MOMENTS "Your investment in coaching should more than pay for itself in the very next property purchase because you will secure a better property investment at a lower price than you could on your own." "Some people start coaching just to earn a bit of extra money and there's nothing wrong with that and you might think you're saving yourself money but in reality you always get what you pay for." "Your coach can help you sense check the deal to gain confidence and make the offer and ultimately secure the deal." "Your coach can help you avoid making bad investment decisions which you might otherwise regret."

Ep 226Jump Up The Property Learning Curve
Simon discusses how listeners can accelerate their property investing success and avoid costly mistakes, focussing on the importance of attending property training events to speed up the learning process and build a network of like-minded individuals. Simon explains the benefits of physical events, such as getting away from one's normal environment and gaining inspiration from others' achievements. He also highlights the value of paid events, which attract more qualified attendees and provide higher-quality content. KEY TAKEAWAYS Attending property training events can help speed up the learning process and avoid costly mistakes. Meeting other investors at these events can inspire and build personal belief in one's own abilities. Building a network in the property industry is crucial for success, as your network is your net worth. Virtual online training events are convenient and cost-effective, but may lack the same level of focus and networking opportunities as physical events. Paid events often provide more value and attract more qualified attendees, leading to better networking and learning outcomes. BEST MOMENTS "So my recommendation is you want to start attending property training events." "The other benefit is by meeting other people at these events. You can build your personal belief that you can do this." "We prefer to run paid events where you pay to come along, we cover the cost of running events, and that means we don't need to sell to you." "We really do take all the risk away from our delegates and provide them with incredible content."

Ep 225How To Get Out Of Your Own Way
Simon discusses the importance of getting out of one's own way in order to achieve success in property investing, addressing the common blocks and challenges that hinder progress, such as lack of commitment, disbelief in one's abilities, fear, and perceived lack of resources. Simon offers practical advice and recommends resources, including previous podcast episodes and attending industry events, to help listeners overcome these obstacles, and emphasises the value of accountability and the benefits of having a coach. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lack of commitment is a common block that stops people from achieving their property investing goals. Belief in the possibility of success is crucial for overcoming challenges in property investing. Fear can be overcome by gaining knowledge and education, and by asking oneself what is the worst that can happen. Resourcefulness is more important than having abundant resources, and building a network can provide the necessary resources. Accountability is important for taking action and moving forward, and having a coach can provide support and motivation. BEST MOMENTS "The first thing, and I'm sure you've heard me say this before, but the first thing I think that stops many people from achieving all of their objectives is they're just not committed enough." "Having taught literally thousands of people over the last two decades, I can absolutely assure you that if you commit, if you make the decision to make it happen, if you educate yourself, if you surround yourself with the right like-minded people, you can achieve absolutely anything you want to do." "Fear is natural. Fear is there to protect you and keep you alive. But it's often fear of the unknown. It's uncertainty, fear of making mistakes, fear of losing money." "Everything you need is in your network if you have a big enough network."

Ep 224Interest Rates Slashed
Simon discusses the recent slashing of interest rates by major mortgage companies and its implications for property investors and homeowners. While the lower rates may be more beneficial for homeowners, property investors can also benefit from the decrease, although many of the low rates are only available for lower loan-to-value mortgages. Simon highlights a hidden factor that most people are unaware of, which is the increase in arrangement fees by mortgage companies... KEY TAKEAWAYS Major mortgage companies are slashing their interest rates, which is good news for homeowners. The low interest rates may not be as beneficial for property investors, as many of the low rates are only available for mortgages with a 50% or 60% loan-to-value ratio. Mortgage companies are increasing their arrangement fees, which can significantly add to the overall cost of the loan. The cost of shipping has increased due to problems in the Red Sea, which may lead to higher prices for imported goods and potentially spike inflation. Property prices are predicted to come down by about 4% in 2024, according to Halifax, the largest mortgage lender. However, this presents a good opportunity for property investors who are willing to take action and buy in areas of strong rental demand. BEST MOMENTS "Many of the low rates that we're seeing below 4% are only available if you're getting a 50% or 60% loan-to-value mortgage." "Some lenders are charging 5% and even 7% as arrangement fees. Now these are added to the loan." "I think rates might go up again in the next couple of months. I'm doing refinances right now." "I'm going to be buying a lot of property, and I think this is such a good time to buy." "If you're following the five golden rules, particularly number two, three and four... then I think you're going to be okay if you're buying right now in 2024."

Ep 223Ethical Win-Win Property Investing
Simon discusses ethical win-win property investing, explaining that instead of looking for properties, he focuses on finding motivated sellers who have property problems. Simon emphasise the importance of understanding the seller's needs and finding a solution that benefits both parties. He shares a case study of a mastermind student who successfully used a purchase lease option strategy to secure a property, and highlights the potential for similar opportunities in the current market, where landlords may be open to lease options due to market conditions and regulations. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ethical property investing involves finding motivated sellers and creating win-win solutions. It is important to ask motivated sellers questions to understand their true problem and what they are trying to achieve. Having a toolkit of different strategies is crucial for successful property negotiations. Purchase lease options can be a powerful tool in certain circumstances, allowing control of a property without the need for a mortgage or deposit. There may be opportunities to find fully refurbished properties on the market where landlords are open to purchase lease options. BEST MOMENTS "I'm talking about finding people who've got a problem and because they have a problem, they're going to be more motivated in terms of the amount they'll accept for that property or the terms of the sale for that property." "This is a textbook purchase lease option. She's found someone who's motivated. It was found by looking for properties on the market for sale and for rent." "So my recommendation is get out in the market, look for properties, speak to a estate agent, have you got any properties where landlords are selling and they've just completely refurbished the property so it's ready to go?" "And that's what I call a true ethical win-win property investing strategy."

Ep 222Goal Setting Advice To Make This Your Best Year Yet
Simon shares valuable hints and tips for effective goal-setting, beginning by discussing the importance of setting goals and shares his personal experience of achieving goals he initially thought were impossible. He challenges the traditional advice of setting achievable and realistic goals, instead encouraging listeners to set big, stretching goals that may seem impossible at first. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting goals is important for achieving success in various areas of life, including property investing. It is beneficial to set big, stretching goals that may seem impossible at first, as they push you to think and act differently and can lead to greater results. Don't limit yourself by setting only achievable and realistic goals; instead, focus on what you truly want to achieve and why. Writing down your goals increases the likelihood of them becoming a reality. Building a network of like-minded individuals can provide valuable resources and support to help you achieve your goals. BEST MOMENTS "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" "By setting impossible goals, it gets you to realise you need to do things differently." "Don't set achievable and realistic goals just because you want the satisfaction of achieving your goals." "If you set realistic goals, you have to do things that you know you can achieve and that means you do what you've always done."

Ep 221Achieve More In '24
Simon shares valuable insights on how to achieve more in your property journey and make the upcoming year your most successful one yet. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, "10X is Easier Than 2X," Simon emphasises the importance of focusing on the 20% of activities that yield the most results, rather than trying to do more and becoming overwhelmed. He also highlights the significance of building a network, seeking help from others, and attending property training and networking events to expand knowledge and resources. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on the 20%: Instead of trying to do more and becoming busier, focus on the 20% of activities that add the most value and contribute to your success. Cut out the 80% of tasks that are not important or necessary. Recognise that you don't have to do everything on your own. Get other people, whether it's family members, paid team members, or virtual assistants, to help you. This allows you to work smarter and achieve more without burning out. Shift your mindset to consider the value you will gain. This applies to investing in your own development, attending paid training, and outsourcing tasks. Look at the long-term benefits rather than just the immediate costs. Don't limit yourself: Don't let your own resources, such as time, money, knowledge, or experience, limit your potential. Network and connect with others who have the resources you lack. BEST MOMENTS "Being busy is not necessarily a sign of success, and doing more isn't what you need to do." "You need to realise that 80% of what you're doing right now is probably not that important." "The problem is that when most people start a business, they don't have much money and they're very conscious about what they spend money on." "You never know how the people you meet might be able to help you in the future and how you can help them."

Ep 220Are Property Prices On The Rise Again?
Simon discusses the latest news from the Halifax Building Society regarding the upward movement of property prices for two consecutive months. He also explores the potential implications of these price increases for property investors and shares their perspective on the future of the property market. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property prices in the UK have been increasing for the past two months, driven by a slight easing of mortgage interest rates and a shortage of housing stock availability. The average house price in October was just under £282,000, which was a rise of £3,000 from September, and there was a further 0.5% increase in November. The property market experienced a boom during COVID due to government interventions such as stamp duty holidays and bounce back loans, which stimulated the market and caused prices to rise unexpectedly. Simon anticipates a further dip in prices in 2024, with a potential recovery in quarter two of that year if interest rates come down. BEST MOMENTS "I think we're seeing a property price correction, not a property market crash." "If you follow my five golden rules in my book, Property Magic, it really doesn't matter what happens to property prices in the short term, as long as you know you can rent the property out, make a positive cash flow, and you're planning to hold for the long term." "I personally am going to be doing a lot more property investing in 2024 than I think I probably have in the last decade."

Ep 219How To Find Cash Investors
Simon shares valuable insights on how to attract private investors who can provide funding for property investments, emphasising the importance of using other people's money to continue investing when personal funds run out. Simon also discusses two groups of potential investors: people you already know and those you have yet to meet. For the former group, he advises reaching out to friends, family, and acquaintances who may have money sitting idle and would benefit from investing in property. The latter group can be found at property networking and training events, where individuals with an interest in property and available funds gather. KEY TAKEAWAYS Attracting private investors is crucial for continuing property investments when personal funds run out. The two main groups of potential investors are people you already know and people you have yet to meet. When approaching people you already know, focus on building trust and demonstrating your knowledge and success in property investing. Actively participate in property networking events and training events to meet potential investors who are already interested in property and understand its value. Building a strong network is essential for finding investors who can provide the necessary resources and support for successful property investments. BEST MOMENTS "When you're using other people's money, which is what all successful investors do by the way, you don't have to stop investing." "You can help them make money from their money." "You can help them make money. And after all, who doesn't want to make money?" "You never have to ask anyone directly for money because that doesn't feel great, right?"

Ep 218The Best Time To Find Great Deals In Your Area
Simon shares valuable insights on the best time to find great property deals in your local area. This particular time of year, which is the two weeks before Christmas, presents a unique opportunity for property investors. With most investors and homeowners taking a break during this period, there is less competition and sellers are more open to flexible terms and prices. Simon advises listeners to take advantage of this time by building relationships with estate agents and seeking out motivated sellers. By securing deals before the end of the year, investors can start the new year with a head start and closer to achieving their property investing goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS December is a great time to find property deals because there is less competition from other investors and sellers are more open to flexible terms and prices. Most property investors and homeowners take a break during the last couple of weeks of the year, so estate agents have more time to speak with you and are motivated to sell properties. Building relationships with estate agents during this time can be beneficial, even if you don't find any deals, as they have more availability and can provide valuable insights. Sellers who have been struggling to sell their properties may be highly motivated to reach a deal before Christmas, allowing them to relax and enjoy the holiday season. By positioning yourself as a motivated buyer who can provide speed and certainty in the sale, you can negotiate flexible deals and potentially secure great property deals before the end of the year. BEST MOMENTS "This time of year is a really good time for you to build the relationships with your local estate agents." "If they could get a deal agreed before Christmas, it means they can sit back, relax and really make the most of Christmas and New Year, enjoying it, knowing with a peace of mind that the sale has been agreed on their property." "Imagine you're going into the new year 2024 already with a couple of deals under your belt. That's going to make you achieve far more in 2024 and get you closer to achieving your property investing goals."

Ep 217Autumn Statement 2023
Simon provides an update on the autumn statement 2023, specifically focusing on the government's plans regarding house prices. While there were no major changes to stamp duty or other taxes, the government announced an increase in the LHA housing rates from April 2024, which is beneficial for landlords renting to tenants on benefits. Simon also discusses the current state of the property market, with inflation halving but still above the Bank of England's target. KEY TAKEAWAYS The government plans to increase the state pension, minimum national wage, and benefit system, which will put more money into people's pockets and potentially help the economy. The LHA housing rates will be increased from April 2024, benefiting landlords who rent to individuals on benefits and potentially aligning the rates with private market rents. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged until at least quarter two of 2024, making it difficult for buyers and property investors to secure mortgages and potentially favoring strategies like HMOs and service accommodation. A new permitted development will allow the conversion of a normal house into two flats without requiring planning permission, presenting a significant opportunity for property investors and developers, particularly in expensive locations. However, local councils may choose to withdraw these permitted development rights through Article 4 directions. BEST MOMENTS "They announced that actually from next year there's going to be a new permitted development where you can take for the very first time a normal house and turn it into two flats without having to get planning permission." "This is going to be a huge opportunity and most people are not aware of this yet." "So you might want to start looking around for opportunities." "I believe this only really works in expensive locations because the cost of conversion is quite expensive."
