Property Magic Podcast

One of the biggest changes faced by most investors is that at some point they run out of their own deposit money, leading them to believe that they. must stop investing. As Simon talks about in this episode, there are several secrets you need to know about raising private finance, in order for your investing journey to continue. KEY TAKEAWAYS When using other people's money, you need to be far more careful with how you use it, and always make sure you keep your promises. Many do not see the benefits for investors when it comes to lending money. But this is a case of changing your mindset. In many instances, you are giving them a far better rate of return. You are helping them. You often have assets that can help you when investing, but you might not realise it. Consider assets such as equity in your own home or other investment properties, retained profits in businesses, or money in pensions that could be released. The best people to work with are people who are known to you already. The trust is already there. All you need to do is let them know what you're doing, and telling them about the benefits. BEST MOMENTS 'Successful investors use other people's money to invest in property' 'You can help THEM make money' 'How much money do you need in order to achieve all of your property goals?'

Simon talks about the definition of financial independence, and discusses what it should mean to you, and why you may be closer to it than you may think. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial independence is the art of creating an alternative income that means you don't have to work for a living. This means you're not dependant on someone else in order to pay the bills. The first step towards independence is to make a conscious decision that financial independence is what you really want in life. A problem that some have is that they set their monthly income targets a little too high. Start with what you actually need in order to cover your living costs and work up from there. To accelerate your results, you should always invest in yourself. Investing in your development is the most important investment you can make. BEST MOMENTS 'There is no excuse for not becoming financially independent if that is what you want' 'It's very easy to allow distractions in life to get in our way' 'It gives you the choice and freedom so that you can make the decisions you want' 'If you treat your investing like a hobby, then it'll cost you like a hobby' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon talks about how to recognise whether or not you should pull the trigger on certain property deals - how to quickly assess a deal, and why timing matters so much. KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking action is vital at the right moment. If you wait too long then someone else could swoop in and close the deal. Indecision costs money! Never back away from a deal for fear of something that might come along in its place. It's far better to have a deal in hand than hold out for something better that might not materialise. High inflation means that banks are raising interest rates. The money you invest will have a far better rate of return. There's never been a better time to invest with other people's money. You can offer a far better rate of return than traditional routes of storing cash. BEST MOMENTS 'If you find a really good property deal, you need to move quickly' 'Does this property actually make us cashflow?' 'If a better deal does come along, you could find someone else to fund it for you' 'Anybody who has money in the bank is losing money hand over fist' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon talks about the the state of the UK economy, and discusses the question on all property investor's lips right now: Is the country going into a recession, and how will this affect the property market? KEY TAKEAWAYS Interest rate rises are expected to come in the following year. Therefore it may be the ideal time to fix interest rates on your mortgages if possible. Many landlords are looking to sell up as their cashflow is being squeezed. This means there are some fabulous opportunities to snap up deals. Many wish to wait until prices improve or the market gets better. The problem is that sometimes these ideal conditions do not appear and the only result is wasted time. Always buy in an area of strong rental demand. Only buy a property if it will make you cashflow. Only buy for long term growth. BEST MOMENTS 'It feels like the country is talking itself into a recession' 'As rates go up it means cashflow is being squeezed' 'We need to have the right, positive attitude' 'In the long term, property prices will rise' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

The most valuable asset in your property investing toolbox, is your network. In fact, as Simon explains in this episode, your network is your net worth. But what does this mean exactly, and how can you build a network that will dramatically accelerate and dynamically develop your property investing journey? Listen to find out. KEY TAKEAWAYS Although we may have people we see more than others, the fact is that you know far more people than you might think. Your network is dramatically larger than you may realise. Your network is made up of four groups: those we meet through proximity, people we meet through our interests, connections through business, and those we meet through educational means. Connecting with other people on the property journey is vital in terms of inspiration and growth. Investing can be a very lonely pursuit, and connecting with others can keep you focussed and moving forward. Networking is a two way street. Not only does it enrich our journey, it also adds value to the journeys of others. Always follow up, be strategic, and give value. BEST MOMENTS 'You probably know more people than you think' 'Owning property is like owning your very own cash machine' 'Investing in property can be a very lonely journey' 'Your network helps you to enhance your mindset and your belief about what is possible' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

This week, Simon invites you to think bigger! After all, if we are going to do anything in life, why would we not do it to the best of our abilities, and maximise our impact? KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset is very important. We need to stretch our thinking about the things that we can achieve. We limit ourselves and use excuses in order to justify our limits. Look at what others are doing and be inspired by that. But don't compare yourself too closely as we are on our own property journey. When you think bigger, you grant yourself a better ability to deal with issues when they arise. Challenges are always surmountable. BEST MOMENTS 'Why play small when you could achieve so much more in your investing and life in general?' 'You don't know what you don't know' 'What would you do if you could not fail?'

In this episode, Simon talks about why you should NOT do joint ventures in property, and how in the long run they can prove way more expensive than you may believe... KEY TAKEAWAYS Joint ventures are where two or more parties come together for mutual benefit. They have a share of risk and a share of rewards. The main issue with joint venturing is that many become settled in this practice, and do not move onto the next step, which is private loans. The money you spend on a property should be far less than the value you create by doing the refurbishments. BEST MOMENTS 'Joint ventures CAN be absolutely fantastic...' 'It's expensive because you're giving away half of your profits' 'This is definitely a question of belief and mindset' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about how you can use other people's money to fund your property deals register for this Creative Finance training here: www.CreativeFinanceTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Fear is one of the biggest factors in preventing you from moving forward with your property investing journey. In this episode, Simon talks you through some effective solutions that you can use to combat fear, and reach far higher levels of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS We naturally produce adrenaline in order to fuel our fight-or-flight response. This puts us on edge in risky situations, and can help us to circumnavigate danger. Many people fear the opinions of others. in property, this can lead to investors becoming reluctant to talk to their family and friends about what they do. Most fear is just in our minds and comes from uncertainty. Our imagination often makes things far worse than they are. False Expectations Appearing Real is a useful acronym to explain fear and its effects. We can combat fear with knowledge. BEST MOMENTS 'Fear is a totally natural emotion designed to keep you safe' 'Fear of failure, and also fear of success' 'Most fear is perceived danger instead of actual danger' 'Knowledge can help you overcome fear' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about how to overcome you fear about using other people money register for this online training www.CreativeFinanceTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Inflation is officially at 7%, and is predicted to grow even higher this year. Interest rates have begun to creep up. But how do these factors affect you and your property investing journey? In this episode, Simon talks about these rising costs, and their impact upon you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rising costs are currently the order of the day, with everything from fuel, food and even rents rising exponentially, due to supply issues, economical conditions and scarcity. When inflation goes up, the Bank Of England raises interest rates in order to slow down the economy and bring down inflation. If interest rates go up too much, then the government will struggle to make all of their interest payments. This has led to a tricky balancing act. BEST MOMENTS 'The true cost of living has gone up much more than 7%' 'Inflation is not good for most people' 'Increasing interest rates means decreasing your cashflow' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In this show, Simon talks about the ways in which you can repurpose property to suit your chosen strategy - methods that don't always require as much in the way of conversion and refurbishment as you may think... KEY TAKEAWAYS Commercial property is valued upon the rental income it brings in. This means that if it's empty, or difficult to populate, then it will have a lower value. Buying an existing building for less than the cost of building a whole new one, puts you instantly ahead of the game. Rising inflation costs means that money being kept in the bank is not working for you efficiently. It's far better to invest in something like property, where the returns are far greater. BEST MOMENTS 'There are far easier ways to repurpose property where you don't have to do a huge amount of refurbishment' 'There are people with money in the bank doing nothing for them' 'it's what we call a Lend-And-Learn opportunity' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In this episode, Simon talks you through one of the most commonly-asked questions in property investing - should you invest in houses or apartments? KEY TAKEAWAYS The type of residences in which you invest will largely depend on where you choose to invest. For example, apartments are far more ubiquitous in London. Outside of built up areas, houses are far more common. Younger tenants tend to want apartments, as they are generally cheaper than entire houses, and are usually located near hubs of activity. Maintenance for apartments is generally very low. Initial bills might present themselves, but in general, keeping an apartment maintained is far cheaper than a house. BEST MOMENTS 'Your strategy can also affect the type of property you need' 'Long term capital growth is generally better in houses than it is in apartments' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon discusses the exciting new ways in which he is taking the Property Magic PIN meetings to a global audience, how you can become involved, and how you can benefit the most from such an exciting and invaluable innovation. KEY TAKEAWAYS In property, it really is a case of "It's not what you know, but who you know" when it comes to finding success. No one can ever know everything when it comes to property investing.

In this episode, Simon shares a powerful yet simple tool - the power of gratitude - that will undoubtedly make you more successful on your investing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset is responsible for around 80% of either your success or your failure. Without the correct mindset we cannot hope to achieve success. Ultimately, we grow into the person that we believe ourselves to be. We become what we think about. If we practice positivity then we energise and accelerate growth. By focussing on gratitude, we elevate ourselves from a place of negativity and into a place of growth and empowerment.

In this episode, Simon hopes to inspire you take more action. In order to be a successful property investor, planning and consideration are essential, but they are nothing unless we execute on our ambitions and take the necessary action! KEY TAKEAWAYS Educating yourself not only saves you money in the long run, but also saves you time, stress, and the necessity to correct costly mistakes. Investing begins by motivating and inspiring ourselves, but also focussing on what we wish to achieve. If we don't have a grip on this, then we can't hope to move in the right direction. It's far better to start taking action with the information and knowledge you have, than trying in vain to gain a breadth of knowledge about every single issue you may face. Treat your property investing as a business and recognise that sometimes you need to make investments, but that those investments will pay off. BEST MOMENTS 'It all starts with you taking action' 'There does come a point where you need to stop educating yourself and start taking action' 'Smart people know that asking for help is a really wise thing to do' 'It's doing the right things consistently that gets you results' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon shares details of the six creative finance business models that can act as accelerators when it comes to your chosen property investment strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rent to rent involves your taking a property's responsibility from its owner, guarantee them a rental income each month, and rent out to a tenant at a profit. Investing in a Purchase Lease Option property is wise, and adding value to the property increases its value, making a future purchase at the agreed price far more worthwhile. Vendor finance involves you purchasing a property with the help of the owner, who helps to fund some of the purchase price. This works particularly well when you're buying at purchase price and want a quick sale. BEST MOMENTS 'This works very well when we are adding value to a property' 'With a purchase option we have the right to buy but not the obligation' 'I love vendor finance - it's very creative' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about how you can find great property deals in your area, you can join Simon for some online training about this at www.DealFinderTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

For the very first time on the show, Simon talks about the sixteen core property investing strategies - everything from residential buy-to-let methods and the BRRRR system, to flips and houses of multiple occupancy (HMO). KEY TAKEAWAYS The key difference between commercial and residential property is that the tenant in the commercial property is responsible for insurance and maintenance. BRRRR stands for Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent and Repeat. This is where a property is acquired for a reasonable sum, value is added through refurbishment, and then sold on at a profit. Freehold to Leasehold title split, involves finding a freehold property where someone else has done the conversion work to turn the property into individual apartments, keeping it on one title. Most HMOs are very plain. The best way to succeed in the space is to make sure your HMO projects are of a much better quality. BEST MOMENTS 'There are hundreds of ways you can make money from property' 'This truly is property magic - making money from thin air' 'The key, really, is finding a good tenant' 'This is why you need to understand these strategies, so that when you spot an opportunity you can make money from it' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about how you can find great property deals in your area, you can join Simon for some online training about this at www.DealFinderTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Deal sourcers can be an invaluable way of finding deals that may otherwise pass you by, but as Simon explains in this week's show, in order to get the most out of their services, you must know how to work with them effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS As a property investor, the most important skill you can develop is the finding of great deals for yourself. Therefore the biggest block between you and success is not being able to find them in the first place. You don't need to personally find deals if you don't want to. Deal sourcers find great deals and perform all due diligence, then package the deal and sell it on. Many sourcers actually don't know what they are doing. Anyone can set themselves up as a sourcer, and haven't yet gained the true experience necessary, so be careful about the sourcers you use! Always ask a sourcer how long they've been doing it, and also enquire as to the education and training they have received. BEST MOMENTS 'If you can learn just one thing, that would absolutely be it' 'Even if you buy a deal from someone else, you still need to know how to stack the deal yourself' 'If you have great deals then there are always people who can fund them for you' 'There's nothing wrong with paying sourcers' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about how you can find great property deals in your area, you can join Simon for some online training about this at www.DealFinderTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Valuing a property effectively is one of the most fundamental ways of ensuring that your investment portfolio can make a profit. After all, if we over pay, then the returns may be diminished. In this episode, Simon talks you through the most effective ways in which you can accurately judge the value of a potential property purchase, so as to always maximise your returns. KEY TAKEAWAYS The most reliable way of valuing a property is through like comparison - the comparing of similar properties to the one in question. Other factors such as the current condition of the property will affect value price. Also, think about the property's location, and the immediate surroundings, which all play a part in determining price. Estate agent valuations are traditionally the first type of valuation that take place. But bear in mind that most agents will overvalue a property in order to win your business. Whenever you buy a property and apply for a mortgage, the bank will instruct a surveyor to value and potential rental income. Before this takes place you may obtain a private survey in order to confirm your own valuation. BEST MOMENTS 'Valuing a property is definitely more of an art than a science' 'Property is worth what someone is willing to pay for it' 'Estate agent value is a good starting point' 'Just because something is listed for sale, doesn't mean it will sell at that price' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

This week, Simon discusses the habits that all successful investors have in common, and how by adopting them for yourself, you can steer your own investing journey towards a more success KEY TAKEAWAYS Successful people have habits, routines and rituals that turn normal investors into successful ones. By embracing these rituals, you can accelerate your growth. Be very clear on what you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it. Without this you may lose motivation. Refine the searches you make when you are looking for deals. By boiling your queries down to the essentials, you are far more likely to find great deals. Always follow up on an enquiry. Circumstances change quickly. If we follow up then we can discover that deals have a way of opening up to us once more.

Simon talks about whether or not you should be thinking about setting up a business for your property investing, and the pros and cons involved in doing so. KEY TAKEAWAYS In April 2017, the government introduced as a new tax legislation known as Section 24. This affects people who own properties in their own name, and taxes the income from property in a different way, generally working out to be more expensive. An investment business is where you buy properties to hold for the long term, the profits of which come from rental income. A trading business is where properties are bought, refurbished and sold on. They rely on short term gains and profits come from each transaction. One of the main benefits of having a company is that all your expenses can be put through the company itself, including phone costs, car costs and training costs.

Simon discusses the concept of how "a little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous", and how those in property investing, who possess merely a fraction of the knowledge required in order to succeed, can often limit their development by not investing in themselves, and in the guidance of experts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Factors such as equipment designed to meet regulations, are not always compatible with the requirement of these regulations. Broadening your knowledge can safeguard you from making costly mistakes. Whenever you undertake any adjustments to your property, always seek the advice of those who know what they're talking about. Never assume you know best. No one can ever know everything about property, and there's no reason why you should. Many areas are unimportant for much of the time, but when they do suddenly become important, always seek the guidance of those who know better. BEST MOMENTS 'Sometimes people go out there with all the best will in mind' 'It comes down to making sure you have a power team around you' 'You're never going to know everything about property' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about HMOs you can register for some free training here: www.HMOcourse.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Tenants are the lifeblood of your property business, but are we taking care of them effectively? In this episode, Simon talks about the value in making sure they're kept at the heart of your property venture, and how a few small steps can ensure that they become a valuable tool in helping you to grow. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you look after your tenants, then not only are they more likely to stay where they are, which can lead to a great reduction in the dreaded void periods between tenants. Many landlords view tenants as a thorn in their side, but this perspective is ill-judged. If we view them this way, then we'll treat them this way. Managing a few properties yourself is very easy, but as you begin to grow, this becomes unmanageable. The more time you spend in managing tenants, the less time you have to acquire new property. Always have good communication with your tenants, especially when it comes to maintenance. Communication is the best way to engender trust. BEST MOMENTS 'Ultimately, you're going to make more money' 'I'd fallen into the landlord trap!'

In the last of a three part series dedicated to Mega Deals, Simon continues his discussion on Mega Deals, and tells you how they can be achieved through providing a return on someone else's financial outlay. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people don't even bother to look for higher-value properties because they do not believe they can be bought. But we can use other people's money! With Mega Deals, the extra rooms you have mean that you generate a far greater rate of profit, meaning more cash flow and a very good return on investment.

In the second of a three part series dedicated to Mega Deals, Simon continues his discussion on Mega Deals, and tells you how you can achieve them with properties you don't even own. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most investors are looking for smaller deals, as they believe they have to use their own money. This means that the competition for these deals is greatly reduced. Look to rent a property from an owner, with the money that you pay for this rent being lower than you can rent the property for. This way, you can generate a profit immediately from your tenants. Purchase Lease Options provide a far better return for property owners, as they continue to receive an income during the lease, plus fix the purchase price they want. The first step in securing any deal is to always best understand what the seller is hoping to achieve. BEST MOMENTS 'Purchase Lease Options work particularly well with Mega Deals' 'With a PLO, we can continue to give them a monthly income' 'I can give me the price I want if you give me the terms I want' 'It's really important that we don't become fixated by a particular strategy' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about how you can profit using Purchase Lease Options then you can access the brand new online training by Simon Zutshi at no cost here http://www.PLOTraining.com Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In the first of a three part series dedicated to Mega Deals, Simon talks about what a Mega Deal is, why you should be doing them as often as possible, and how you can do them on property you don't even own. KEY TAKEAWAYS A Mega Deal is a larger property, usually containing ten or more rooms, and which can be rented out by you. Because of the high number of rooms, a high profit can be made (between £3,000 to £5,000 per month) You don't need to do many Mega Deals in order to hit your target of replacing your income and making your living solely from property. A single Mega Deal can get you to that target. Mega Deals can be funded using other people's money. Many people shy away from these bigger deals, because they do not realise that they don't have to find the money from their own resources. For properties worth between £500,000 and £2,000,000, the competition in the field falls rather rapidly. This is the sweet spot as larger developers are usually looking at properties worth more, and other landlords and residential buyers are usually on the hunt for cheaper. BEST MOMENTS 'That's why we call these things a "life-changing deal"' 'You might only need one Mega Deal to replace your income' 'It's a far better use of your time' 'The whole point about Mega Deals is to give you massive monthly cashflow' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about how you can profit using Purchase Lease Options then you can access the brand new online training by Simon Zutshi at no cost here http://www.PLOTraining.com Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon explains the concept of relationship capital, and talks about not only why it's so important to your investing journey, but how you can make sure you are constantly building it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing is all about building relationships - from sellers and agents, to your power team and your buyers and renters. Relationship capital is all about people coming to know you, coming to trust you, coming to like you, and eager to do things to help you. Always look for ways to connect with people, and look for the "givers gain" - the ways in which you can help and value to someone else without reward. This will establish you as a good person and make people want to work with you. Consider the people you know, and think about reaching out to them. You never know how some people's circumstances have changed, and how you may be able to mutually benefit each other.

In this episode, Simon shares the ways in which you can gain a competitive advantage in your local property market, how your mind-set can impact the way you think about the constantly shifting trends in property, and how it can often be used to your benefit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whether the market itself is coming down or going up, advantages can be had by wise investors, who can see the potential benefits of both scenarios. Your jumping off point with property is always a matter of mind-set. By crystallising the way you see the market, you will be able to alter your approach accordingly. Be very clear about what you want and why you want it. You need to fully commit to your success as no one else will seek it out on your behalf. Most investors want to buy below market value. In a booming market that is quite difficult. In a market that isn't so strong, these deals are far more available, meaning that a declining market is actually a good thing BEST MOMENTS 'As long as you're holding long term, it doesn't really matter if you buy a property now' 'Your mindset and your beliefs about what is happening will affect the actions you take' 'There are people doing creative strategies!'

It's the new year, and with the challenges of 2021 behind us, it's time to look forward to the opportunities of 2022. Simon talks about the ways in which you can make the most of the year ahead, and accelerate your property investing journey from the get go! KEY TAKEAWAYS Work out what you want to achieve in 2022. Be very clear and very specific. You can't take a journey if you don't have a destination. Think about why you want a particular goal. What will it do for you and your family? Each goal needs a reason to be. Make a decision and commit to it. Treat investing like a business instead of a hobby. If you commit and put the work in, the rewards will be much greater. Stop allowing excuses to steal you dreams. There are no valid reasons for you not being able to achieve success in life. BEST MOMENTS 'It's incredibly simple but it absolutely works' 'If you don't know where you want to go, how on earth will you get there?' 'What would you do if you could not fail?'

In the second part of Simon's discussion, the focus switches to the ways in which you can offer more for a property as a buyer, while still paying less in the long run, thereby allowing you to close deals and provide a win-win situation for all concerned. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being able to offer more than your competitors gives you a massive advantage when it comes to closing deals and bolstering your portfolio. A purchase lease option allows you to use the money being generated by the property itself, in order to purchase the property from the seller. A purchase lease option will not work upon people simply selling the property in order to free up the cash for other purposes. We must target those who simply do not want the property any more and who plan to put the money away in the bank. Instead of trying to buy properties at a discount, we can instead give the seller the full asking price in exchange for our terms - mainly consisting of being flexible when it comes to receiving capital. BEST MOMENTS 'You can offer more than the competition so that the seller wants to sell to you!' 'By structuring the purchase in a certain way, it actually doesn't affect the money in your pocket' 'These people might be open to creative financial strategies' 'A PLO is a powerful yet misunderstood strategy' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about how you can profit using Purchase Lease Options then you can access the brand new online training by Simon Zutshi at no cost here: http://www.plotraining.com/ Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

For anyone who has property you wish to sell, then Simon is here to tell you how to maximise the price that you can get. But also, if you're buying a property, this week's show will help you to better understand sellers and how to close those deals with no extra cost. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two fundamental groups of people when it comes to selling property - those who are selling because they need the money for something else, and those who simply don't want the property any more. At the moment, those putting money in the bank is actually losing money as inflation is higher than the interest rates being offered. Purchase options are very powerful as a strategy but hugely misunderstood. They can be used when buying and selling a property. It's also how you can achieve a higher price than usual. The two groups of people you should target in order to see property for more than it's worth are tenant buyers and property investors. BEST MOMENTS 'This gives you a massive competitive advantage' 'These people might be open to a more creative financial strategy' 'We all want to get as much as we possibly can when we sell something' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about how you can profit using Purchase Lease Options then you can access the brand new online training by Simon Zutshi at no cost here: http://www.plotraining.com/ Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

If you run out of money, then there's not always a need to stop investing. As Simon explains in this week's show, you can use other people's money in order to take advantage of the best property deals. It's just a case of knowing where to find them, and as Simon explains, they might be closer than you think. KEY TAKEAWAYS Always make sure that everyone know what you do as a property investor, with a focus on informing everyone that you help investors to get a great return on their money. In order to the do the very best property deals, always look for motivated sellers. They're far more motivated, and can often be in more of a rush to get rid of the property. The person that can lend you money in order to refurbish or add value to a property, might be the property owner themselves. This loan can be factored into the amount you pay them for the deal. This is known as vendor finance. The more people you tell, the more likely you are to gain access to deals. We can give a far better return on investments than many traditional means. BEST MOMENTS 'If you use other people's money then there's no limit to the number of deals that you can do' 'The person who could lend you money to do your property deals might actually be the seller of the property' 'Many property investors see what they do as a dirty secret' 'If you don't tell people wha you do then how on earth are they going to be able to help you?'

In this week's show, Simon talks about a concept called "Add Value Before Purchase", and explains how it can not only save you money when it comes to buying a property, but also ensure that you get a better return on your investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adding value before you buy a property is done through identifying an opportunity and securing it with a purchase option. Cash-only deals signify that the property may be un-mortgageable for various reasons. This generally means that the property will be available at a discount, and is perfect for the 'Add Value Before Purchase' principle. Fixing a problem with a cash-only property allows you to then secure a mortgage on it, but at the new value, which will be higher. Most traditional mortgage lenders will not lend based on value, but on the purchase price, which may be lower. Look for specialist lenders who will look at the value of the property, rather than the purchase price. BEST MOMENTS 'You buy it based on the higher value rather than the purchase price' 'You can find and secure these deals below market value' 'You are forcing the appreciation of the property!' 'I want to give you a slight twist that will make it even more profitable for you' VALUABLE RESOURCES Access the Purchase Lease Option Training by going to: http://www.plotraining.com/ Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In this episode, Simon shares the ways in which you can secure your next property deal in just four weeks - a crucial set of strategies for anyone looking to snap up the best deals in the shortest possible amount of time. KEY TAKEAWAYS December is the time of year when many slow down and look to spend time with family and friends. But while most are relaxing, it's a great time for you to accelerate. Estate agents are due to be less busy, so it's a great time to build relationships. Sellers also need to get their properties moving, and so enquiries will be reduced, meaning they'll be highly motivated. January is a boom town when it comes to finding tenants. Many reserve the month for a fresh start and lots of people are looking for rented accommodation. You can let agents know that you're credible by showing them proof of funds, obtain a decision in principle (DIP), or give them your solicitor's business card, which proves serious intent. BEST MOMENTS 'This is a great time to be securing your deal' 'Wouldn't it be great if you could get a deal agreed before Christmas?'

When it comes to your property investing goals, it's always wise to formulate your own magic number. In this episode, Simon explains the concept and tells you how you too can arrive at your own magic number, as well as the different levels of financial freedom you should aim for. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your magic number should comprise the passive income amount you need to make each month in order to replace the money you currently earn. There are three levels of financial freedom: Financial independence - you have enough coming in to replace what you currently earn. Financial freedom - having enough to enjoy a better life. Total financial abundance - you have more money than you know what do with, and are saving money regularly. There is a vast difference in the amount you need to replace and amount you want to ultimately earn. If you aim too high at the beginning, then the journey can seem insurmountable. Working out your magic number gives you clarity and direction. Subsequent work with a coach or partner can then get you there. BEST MOMENTS 'it's a truly magical place to be' 'This is what the first goal should be for most investors' 'I'm really passionate about making my students financially independent' 'Make your first goal something you know you can achieve' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Property investing can be a very lonely journey, which is why we often find ourselves in need of support. In this week's show, Simon talks about why it's crucial for you to gain the support of your partner when you begin your investing journey, and the ways in which we can do so. KEY TAKEAWAYS Share your vision with your partner. Explain why you are investing in the first place, and tell them what you are trying to achieve. Short term sacrifices now could provide long term benefit for you and your family for the rest of your lives. The benefits will also positively impact future generations Do all you can to build the belief that your family might need in order to fortify their support for you. You can do this by looking at case studies together. Ensure that you are changing your family's minds about the potential of property, through education. We need to change their mind-set from a homeowner mind-set to an investor mind-set. BEST MOMENTS 'Often I meet people who really want to start investing, but they just don't have the support' 'You're not just doing this for you, but also for the benefit of your loved ones' 'Share with them what's in it for them' 'What will your property investing mean for you, and for your loved ones?'

Simon shares a powerful concept, SOI (Speed Of Implementation) - a concept that will make you a far more successful investor if you fully embrace it. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you learn something, you should implement it immediately. This is the concept behind SOI. Many get distracted and fail to take the necessary action. Unsuccessful people fail to commit and spend far too long making decisions. When they do commit, they often change their minds. In property you need to be decisive. Deals and opportunities are often lost because decisive action is not taken swiftly enough. With knowledge comes certainty, but certainty only matters if you have the will to act on it. When you have an idea, act upon it immediately. Count down from 5 to 1 and then act. This prepares you mentally, and acts as a barrier against negative doubts and thoughts that may put us off. BEST MOMENTS 'If you use this it will make you more successful in life' 'The success you achieve is directly associated with the action you take' 'By gaining specialist knowledge you'll get certainty' 'That could've been you or me, but we didn't take action!'

KEY TAKEAWAYS A virtual event such as this allows you to not only connect with local investors, but a whole international network.

Accountability is important in propelling you forward. Others can also offer mentorship and a new perspective.

This week, Simon shares the seven steps that will help you swiftly stack a property deal, including property valuing, why interest-only mortgages are better, and the formulas you need to see if the numbers work for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Far too many people spend far too long agonising over whether a deal stacks or not. If they stick to the simple formula, they'll be able to turn deals around very quickly indeed. Based on a purchase price, we need to look at how much of a mortgage advance we can get from a lender, typically around 75%, and specifically look for interest-only offers. Cashflow is the profit less all the expenses. We can approximate the costs by working out the minimum rent required. Make sure you research effectively and determine the correct market rent for your type of property in your area. This is crucial in determining the cashflow. BEST MOMENTS 'This is top level due diligence' 'For every £20k you borrow at 6% interest per annum, it'll cost you £100 in interest every month' 'This is a really good approximation of those other costs' 'We need to understand how much money we need to put in to achieve that cashflow' VALUABLE RESOURCES Join Simon on some online training to learn how to find great property deals in your area here: www.DealFindertraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Finding great property deals is the cornerstone of any property investor's journey. As Simon explains in this week's show, nurturing and developing this skill is the most important tool you can have in your investing toolkit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Deal sourcers can find deals for you, and charge somewhere around £3000 to £5000 per deal, depending on the size and scale. When you become good at finding deals yourself, you'll find that there are more than you can possibly take on single-handedly. Selling deals on in this case is a great thing to do. The sign of a great deal is one that you can buy below market value, and get an instant equity on day one. This means you can be making money from day one. Always consider that sometimes the asking price you see has already been discounted. Don't miss out because you think you deserve more off the price. You can better ascertain if you know you area well. BEST MOMENTS 'Paying someone else to find deals for you is better than finding no deals at all' 'I believe that it's best to educate yourself' 'Once you know how to do it, it's not that difficult' 'When you see a good deal, you need to move quickly!'

This week, Simon shares some very specialist information that if applicable to you, could result in your receiving a huge payment back from HMRC. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tactics and strategies that you know can make you money, but the strategies you don't yet know are losing you money. Always arm yourself with the best knowledge available. If you have HMOs, holiday lets, serviced accommodation or any type of commercial property, then you could well receive money back from the taxman. If your property qualifies, you can receive a return on the purchase price and refurbishment costs to offset against your tax. This is done through capital allowance. Only the legal owner of the property can claim back capital allowance. If the property is owned by a company, then it is this company who can offset the capital allowance against its corporation tax. BEST MOMENTS 'Listen carefully as this could put a whole load of extra money back into your pocket' 'You don't know what you don't know' 'You could get as much as £70,000 as a capital allowance' 'Capital allowances can only be claimed once in the lifetime of a property' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out if you can claim a Capital Allowance here: www.ClaimCapitalAllowance.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Simon discusses serviced accommodation, explaining how to get the most out of this incredible strategy, and make it work for you! KEY TAKEAWAYS Since the lockdown ended in the UK, many have taken the opportunity to holiday at home and see the delights we have to offer here, rather than going abroad. This has meant a sharp rise in popularity when it comes to serviced accommodation - a trend that is expected to continue. Serviced accommodation can be run along with a VA to handle bookings and admin, and a team on the ground to provide the physical services such as cleaning. There is a serviced market and a tourist market for serviced accommodation. The key is to catch both of those to maximise profitability. Always ensure that your mortgage provider is in agreement when it comes to your using the property as a serviced accommodation. You could be at risk of breaking your terms and conditions. BEST MOMENTS 'This is an incredibly powerful strategy that you should consider as part of a balanced portfolio' 'It's a home from home' 'Thinking like a hotel is a very good way to see your serviced accommodation' 'The type of client you attract depends on the kinds of property you use' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

This week, Simon explores the investor mindset vs homeowner thinking, and why it is so crucial to differentiate between the two if you are planning to build a successful property investing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial education is something we have to gain for ourselves, when in reality, it should be a part of the education system. Homeowners often believe that we can only have one mortgage at a time. They also believe that mortgages are based on income. Investment mortgages are based on different data. Not all mortgages need to be repayment mortgages. Investors should aim for interest-only mortgages. Also, age is not a barrier as the payments are being met by your tenants. Inheritance tax must always be considered when building a portfolio of unencumbered properties. Your estate will be forced to pay a huge amount to the tax man if they wish to assume ownership. BEST MOMENTS 'I want to give you the opportunity to challenge your own thinking' 'It's a tragedy that our schools don't prepare our kids for modern life' 'We need to think about why we're investing and also how we're investing' 'You've got to start thinking like an investor and not a homeowner' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In this week's episode, Simon talks to you about the rent-to-rent strategy, and shares a step-by-step process that you can use in order to find more opportunities today! KEY TAKEAWAYS Rent-to-rent can generate cash in a mere couple of weeks, doesn't require much capital up front, and also a great way to test out new strategies that may work for you. Rent-to-rent is not sub-letting (the practice of renting a property and then re-renting it). This is a structured agreement in which you can issue leases. Rent-to-rent is not a passive strategy. You will be actively managing the property. As time goes on you can employ teams to do this for you. BEST MOMENTS 'Rent-to-rent is a great strategy for new investors and also experienced ones!'

This week, Simon discusses that all-important factor in your property investing journey - the power team that enables you to often take the best advantage of prospective deals, and how you can get the best out of them. KEY TAKEAWAYS The best kinds of people to include in your power team are those involved in property investment themselves, which will give them a greater understanding of what you are trying to achieve. When choosing a mortgage broker, make sure to ask which area they specialise in. It's best to look for a broker with the relevant experience, and the key skills you need. Never discount your knowledge base. If you apply yourself and learn all about different strategies, then it is entirely possible that you will know more than some solicitors or brokers.

In this week's show, Simon gives you the invaluable answers to the six most frequently asked questions about property investing - arming you with the knowledge you need to succeed! KEY TAKEAWAYS When looking for areas in which to invest, make sure to look for places where the population is increasing faster than other areas. Traditional property investing means that you'll be able to get a 75% mortgage on a property. This means you'll need to find the other 25% yourself, plus costs and fees, normally around 5%. However, there are many creative ways of investing with little to no money up front. The best strategy when it comes to finding great deals, is always to look for motivated sellers - people for whom speed and certainty is more important than the amount of money they get. When you're approaching investors, you need to adjust your perspective. You're not asking them for money - you are offering them a chance to make BEST MOMENTS 'You should invest where you live or where you work' 'Sometimes people have a little pot of money and they don't know if it'll be enough or not' 'There are many ways of creatively investing' 'You need to get the specialist knowledge and then take action!'

It's a very special milestone this week as Simon presents his 100th episode of the Property Magic podcast! In this show, Simon will share with you his 26 top tips to improving your property investing journey, as well your life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS Make sure you value your time. Time is your most valuable asset. We can always make more money, but we can't conjure up more time. Treasure it. Investing in ourselves is the most valuable investment we can make. We cannot hope to grow and find success if we don't take the time to develop. Set yourself some goals. Work out what you want to achieve and WRITE IT DOWN. If we put a stake in the ground, it clarifies our aims in business and life. Taking advantage of someone never works out in the end. Look for the win-win situation every time. Remember, it's always best to build a bridge rather than burn one. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the kind of list I would give myself if I was starting again' 'Poor people spend their time to save money. Rich people spend money to save time' 'Invest in yourself and never stop learning' 'The more value you can add in society, the more valuable you become' Believe in yourself!'

Most property investors simply look around, copy the strategies being used by everyone else, and then wonder why they can't find great property deals. As Simon explains in this week's show, it might be time to change the way we approach our own property investment plans... KEY TAKEAWAYS Look for sellers, not for property. Most sellers are not motivated. They have a single property and are looking to maximise their profit. We need to look for the smaller subset of sellers who are open to deals. Never stop marketing and advertising. Many stop advertising during certain periods of the year, but this is the very reason you should be doing it during those times. Your voice will be amplified. Don't try to buy property in the room at property auctions. Sometimes there are bargains to be had, but auctions are often overcrowded, and you'll end up paying more for a property than you would if the sale was conducted outside. A seller usually has a problem that they need solving. If we help enough people to get what they want, you'll get what you want. BEST MOMENTS 'To find really good deals, you need to think differently and act differently from every other investor' 'We need to look for motivated sellers and then work out if the property is something we want to take on or not' 'Instead of just thinking about you, think about the agent...' 'Try and help the seller of the property solve their problem, instead of selling to them' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In the second part of this special conversation, Simon discusses the "Property Investor Catch-22" situation, with a particular focus upon the five different principles of creative finance. KEY TAKEAWAYS If a deal is good enough, then there will always be at least one of the five principles of creative finance, that can be applied to the situation in order to see it through. Joint venture with a cash investor is a common strategy. Many confuse this is as some 50/50 investment split, but your finding of the deal is sufficient as your part of the bargain. A private loan can work better for you in some circumstances, as the lender gets a fixed return instead of a share in future profits. Joint ventures can be carried out with the owner of the property. This means there is no stamp duty to pay, and you work together to improve the value of the property. When it is then re-sold, you take a share in the value's increase. BEST MOMENTS 'You don't need to use any of your own money to invest' 'When you know how to find great property deals, then you don't need to use your own money' 'You need to use the correct tool at the right time to make creative finance work' 'We must look at this as an opportunity that we're giving to other people' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about creative finance watch the online video training by Simon Zutshi for free by registering here: www.CreativeFinanceTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

In this week's show, Simon explains the "Property Investor Catch-22" situation, and how you can make sure you are able to pull yourself out of it... KEY TAKEAWAYS If you invest in property in the traditional way, at some point everyone runs out of their own money, and so they stop investing. If we find great deals, there are ways of funding these deals without using any of your own money. It's case of adjusting our mind-set. If you are not putting money into the deal, then you must be putting something else into it instead. This could be the specialist knowledge you have, your time, or your creativity. Add value! Many limit themselves to the resources that they have at hand. We must think bigger. Free your thinking and you can make far more money. BEST MOMENTS 'Most people don't even realise that they are in this catch-22...' 'There's plenty of money available if you know how to find great deals' 'It is possible to invest in property using none of your own money' 'In life, you don't get something for nothing' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about creative finance watch the online video training by Simon Zutshi for free by registering here: www.CreativeFinanceTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone: http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

This week, Simon expands upon the ways in which we can accelerate our property success, by thinking big when it comes to the ways in which we invest, and how a goal without a plan is merely a dream waiting to happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS Thinking small is dangerous. Never in history has any great achievement occurred as a result of thinking small. Stop thinking about your own personal resources. You need to think far bigger. The most invaluable resource you have is your own mind. There is plenty of money available in the world. There are plenty of people with time available to help you. The only thing holding you back is you! You are connected to far more people than you may believe. Remember, that it is your network that can help you achieve anything you want to achieve. BEST MOMENTS 'Most people, including myself, are sometimes guilty of thinking small' 'All great achievements have come about by people daring to dream big' 'A goal without a plan is just a dream' 'It's time to get your "but" out of the way' VALUABLE RESOURCES Come and book your place at the next virtual national pin meeting.
