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!' 'Often people think rent-to-rent is like sub-letting' 'This is not a passive strategy!

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. BEST MOMENTS 'A strong power team will allow you to focus on what you need to do' 'You need to clearly communicate what you need' 'If they have to learn about something, then you'll be paying for their time while they're learning' 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 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.

In this week's show, Simon talks you through the ways in which you can keep ahead of the curve in your property investing journey, and how you can achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. KEY TAKEAWAYS Keeping up to date with conditions in the property market is essential in order to allow you to keep a competitive advantage, and also to allow you to better decide upon given strategies at given times. Legislation and regulations, both national and local, are an essential area of knowledge that you must remain fresh upon. Also be aware of mortgage rates and evolving property strategies. Network meetings are a wonderful way of ensuring that your property knowledge is kept fresh, that your network continues to grow, and that your inspiration is sparked into life.

This week, Simon shares with you the five steps you can use to accelerate your property success, including the importance of specialist knowledge, and how your network can keep your mind-set and self-development fresh. KEY TAKEAWAYS To be successful in investing in property, you will need specialist knowledge. It will give you a competitive advantage and the ability to spot deals that others might miss. Once you find a deal, you need to have all your funding ready to go. You need to able to move swiftly, so start putting your ducks in a row as soon as possible. Find a strategy that serves you well, and focus on it. FOCUS stands for Follow One Course Until Successful - but also make sure your toolbox is diversified enough for you to be able to pivot. Property investment can be a very lonely journey, and the more successful you get, the less people you'll have to talk to. Networking and events are marvellous ways of keeping that self-development fresh. BEST MOMENTS 'I want to make it really clear how you can massively accelerate your success' 'The reality is that you will never know everything' 'Time is your most valuable asset' 'It's never too early to get your funding in place' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to join Simon for some more in depth, online training on how to accelerate you property success, you can reserve your place here: www.AccelerateYourInvestingSuccess.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 week's show, Simon talks you through his four-step process for stacking property deals, and how by following this you can greatly energise your property investing plans. KEY TAKEAWAYS Only buy in an area with strong rental demand, and accurately assess whether or not it's a viable property in terms of rental income, and how much you can hope to gain from it. Work out how much money you'll need in order to acquire the property. Remember that you don't always have to put money down, and can use strategies such as PLOs. Only buy a property that will give you a cashflow. There must be profit left over every month. Everything you buy must make money straight away. Look at the potential return on investment for the property. We need to make sure that any money we put into a deal is working effectively on our behalf. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to understand how much rental income you can achieve' 'For every property you're buying in a traditional way, assume you'll need about 30% of the purchase price upfront' 'If a property isn't making you a cashflow, I wouldn't buy it!' 'You need to factor in that cost and then add in the return that you'd like to make' 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 very special episode, Simon shares the top five tips collected from the top five performers on his Property Magic mastermind course - the techniques and strategies that others have adopted and utilised in order to power their way to investment success! KEY TAKEAWAYS Ensure that you follow the process exactly. When you have a formula, stick to the plan and follow the guidance all the way through. Follow up! Always make sure you come back after any offer to see what's happening. This shows diligence on your part and can ultimately save (and earn) you money. Keep that momentum going. By doing one thing a day in order to keep things moving, you'll make sure that the process is always ongoing. Sense-check your deals with other, experienced investors. If you find a great deal but you're unsure, sense-checking can give you the confidence to move forward. BEST MOMENTS 'There's some real golden nuggets here!'

In the final part of his five-part series on Purchase Options and Purchase Lease Options, Simon discusses how to secure option contracts in the correct way, the big mistake most amateurs make with PLOs, and how to ensure your agreements are not challenged. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most investors make the mistake of thinking that option agreements are "cut and paste", when in fact they should always have fresh contracts drawn up by solicitors as every deal is different. Many solicitors DO NOT UNDERSTAND purchase lease options. Make sure your seller has the advice of a solicitor who does understand, and who is separate from your own solicitor. The Heads Of Terms document specifies exactly what you and your seller have agreed. This contains details such as agreed price, and seller and buyer details. For the sake of clarity and openness, always be honest about what you plan to do with the property. If you're planning to live in it, then make this clear. BEST MOMENTS 'Each purchase option is a bespoke agreement' 'Many investors love purchase options!'

This week, Simon talks you through the creative ways in which you can offload properties that are costing you money, and also to give you a better insight into why property owners might agree to a purchase lease option. KEY TAKEAWAYS The great thing about auctioning properties is that when the hammer goes down, you get paid within 28 days. A purchase lease option provides a win-win for buyer and seller. If you find yourself a tenant buyer, they can movie in immediately with the right to buy at market value. Any value added to the property during the lease period is of benefit to all parties. Also, a huge deposit isn't instantly required, which can be a stumbling block to many buyers. A Purchase Lease option fee, usually around £3,000-£5,000 ensures that you get a tenant who's committed, and who has some skin in the game. BEST MOMENTS 'This is really going to help you to understand why a property owner might agree to a purchase lease option' 'A tenant buyer is someone who would love to buy, but who can't right now' 'They benefit from the security of tenancy' 'You've got no management, you've got no bills, you've got no costs!'

In this week's show, the third of a five part series about Purchase Options and Purchase Lease Options, Simon talks about the ways in which you can upgrade the place in which you live, in particular, how you can go from renting to owning your own home without the need for a large deposit or mortgage, or simply increase the size of the home you do own. KEY TAKEAWAYS By living in a property on which you hold a Purchase Lease Option, you still retain the benefit of potential capital growth. Be realistic about your budget. Everyone would like to live in a bigger house, but examine the numbers and see if they work for you. The joy of a Purchase Lease Option is that if you do not wish to stay in the property, you can always assign away the lease for a profit and move on. Look for properties that are not just on the market for sale, but also to rent. This will generally denote an owner who is eager to relieve themselves of the financial burden of the property. BEST MOMENTS 'Would you like to live in a bigger property and in a better area? If the answer's yes, then you're going to love this podcast' 'Affordability is really important!' 'A purchase lease option might be less than the rent you're paying now' 'This is a great solution for them, and a great solution for you!'

In Part Two of his five-part series about Purchase Options and Purchase Lease Options, Simon talks you through the ways in which you can flip property without actually buying it, meaning you'll need less cash and make a higher return on your investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Flips typically involve finding properties in need of improvement, working on it so as to increase its value, and then selling on at a profit. This usually involves buying the property at the beginning of the process. Instead of buying the property, you can control it with a Purchase Option, meaning you don't need a big deposit or mortgage, have no purchasing fees to pay, and can sell within six months. Finding a motivated seller is key to this strategy. You also need a power of attorney, granting you the right to sell this property on.

In the first of a five-part mini-series all about purchase options and purchase lease options, Simon examines the purchase option strategy, and discusses why you should be using them as part of your property investing toolkit, which strategies they can be used, and when to use them most effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Purchase Option strategy is where you as the buyer have a contract stating that you have the right to buy their property, but not the obligation to purchase. The Purchase Lease Option strategy is where you as the buyer agree to lease a property from a buyer for a monthly fee, with the right to buy by a future date, with no obligation to do so. A purchase lease option can alleviate the financial burden of a property for a set amount of time, meaning that it is incredibly attractive to a buyer looking for a swift way to free up finances. Lease options are a win-win for all parties. The seller is able to instantly offload a property, while you as the seller can turn an instant profit by using the property as a rental for profit, while also enjoying the increase in value as the lease option period runs its course. BEST MOMENTS 'Options must always be assignable' 'You're babysitting - you're looking after their mortgage for them' 'You've really got to put yourself in the shoes of the seller and see it from their point of view' 'There are lots of reasons why someone may want to sell a property, but they're okay with not selling it right now' VALUABLE RESOURCES To download the Purchase Option Flow chart visit 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.

This week, Simon talks all about property auctions, and gives you his ten personal do's and don't's that'll help you to get the properties you want at far lower prices, and help you to avoid making the cardinal errors that so many people make at auction. KEY TAKEAWAYS The number one reason for selling a property at auction is to get it sold quickly! Buyers exchange contracts on the very day they bid, so the whole process is extremely streamlined. A low guide price isn't the purchase price. Bear in mind that these low guide prices are different to the reserve prices, so don't assume the lower price will be the one you'll pay. Try not to get too emotionally attached to the bidding. Sometimes you can end up paying far more than you wanted to in the first place. Make sure you do your research and your due diligence before making nay bids. How much is it worth now, and how much will it cost you to get it up to scratch? All these factors should give you a figure - make sure you don't pay over this figure. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're the successful bidder, then the day you bid, you exchange contracts' 'Investors buy because they think they can get a deal' 'If it was such a good property then they should have bought it before the auction' 'What's the maximum price you can afford to pay?'

Many potential investors hear much about how they can use other people's capital in order to get started, but where do you start? In this week's show, Simon talks you through the ways in which you can approach and attain money from others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional lenders all like to ensure that you some skin in the game - that you have something at stake in the investment. Obtaining a letter from your source of money may solve the issues that lenders might have. They much prefer it when the money is yours to lose, and not some borrowed finance. The deal you want to be involved in must have enough potential profits, so that you can give a good return to your investor, plus a healthy return for yourself. You may have money somewhere in your life, that can be drawn upon. These hidden assets are a wonderful resource and can get you started immediately. BEST MOMENTS 'At some point all investors run out of their own money' 'One of the members of your power team should be a fully independent mortgage broker' 'You've got to be very careful when using other people's money' 'Blend your money with their money' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out if you have any hidden assets you could use here - www.HiddenAssetsTest.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 week's show, Simon explains the BRRRR strategy - otherwise known as Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent and Repeat - or as Simon calls it, momentum investing! KEY TAKEAWAYS The BRRRR strategy is the fastest way to grow your portfolio, as each deal's refinance value allows you to swiftly move on to the next. Not just any property will work for BRRRR. You have to be able to add value to the property in order to make the strategy work. By refurbishing in a stylish and pleasing way, you'll set your property apart from others, allowing you to achieve a higher rent, and attracting a more agreeable clientele. It's okay to leave some money in the deal if you have to. If you need extra funding to complete subsequent deals, look for external sources of investment. BEST MOMENTS 'This is where you find a property, add value, refinance, take your money out, and go and do another project' 'This really makes fantastic feature of the communal area' 'We want to make this an attractive place!'

In this episode, Simon talks about investment mortgages - the six most common mistakes people make, and how you can avoid them by thinking very differently about mortgages and how they work. KEY TAKEAWAYS People ask their bank about investment mortgages, but unfortunately, they're not the right people to ask, and so bad advice can often be given. This can lead to a string of assumptions that simply aren't true. Find a truly independent mortgage broker who has unlimited access to the entire market. This will allow you to get a far better idea of what investment mortgages are, and how they can help you. As we grow older, there will be far fewer mainstream lenders willing to work with us, as all their products centre around the purchaser being the tenant. With investment mortgages, you are not the tenant, and so far, more options are available. When taking out an investment mortgage, make sure it's optimised for cashflow. Interest-only mortgages mean your cashflow is at its maximum and give you the benefit of capital gain. BEST MOMENTS 'This isn't financial advice. It's financial education' 'All lenders are different - they all have different criteria' 'Owning your own home is very different to owing an investment property' 'We only buy something that gives us cashflow' 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 talks about a rather controversial point – that why, as property investors, you must never sell your properties… KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategies change over time as gain more experience and a wider view of the property journey we wish to take. We should always embrace a changing perspective. The main problem with selling a property is that at the moment of sale, you crystallise the profit, and will never make another penny from it. If managing a rental property is not your calling, you can always hire someone to do it for you. Demand for rental properties can change as the area changes. There could also be a huge amount of equity. In these circumstances, you may feel the benefit of selling. BEST MOMENTS ‘Your opinions and knowledge change over time’ ‘Holding the property and renting it out means you make cashflow on a monthly basis’ ‘Often it’s short term thinking, and the long term capital appreciation isn’t considered’ ‘As values go up over time, we can remortgage!’ 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 tells you how you can replace your income with only three properties, using strategies that have worked for his many students, allowing them to achieve financial freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most HMO properties should be making you a profit of around £1000 per month. That means that for the average person, who earns around £3000 per month, only three of these properties are required in order to replace their income. An HMO is a property with three or more unrelated tenants. Smaller HMOs do not tend to require a mandatory HMO license. The national guideline is five or more tenants, but check with your local council. Safety requirements should be of paramount concern as we have a legal, moral and ethical responsibility to our tenants. Always make sure that your HMOs are better than the average types currently on the market. Mark yourself out as different and you will be rewarded. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm going to give you some examples of mastermind students who've achieved this with just one property...' 'This is such a powerful strategy' 'The more people you have in that property, the further you can spread the cost of the bills' 'Living in an HMO is very cost effective' VALUABLE RESOURCES To join Simon for an in depth, online Master Class about how you can acquire your next HMO please register 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.

This week, Simon talks about the most common myths associated with the HMO (Houses of multiple occupation) strategy, and why they might not be as true as you think. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's an oversupply of HMOs and so you shouldn't do them - This is only half true. Most HMOs are very average in terms of spec. Be better and you'll definitely attract more clients. They're far more work than single-let properties - It's not really a fair comparison. In many cases, the workload is actually less in terms of the returns you'll make. Every property needs an HMO licence\need planning permission - Yes, there are regulations and licences to procure, but far less than you may believe. You have to have lots of money to do HMOs - Arm yourself with different strategies and you can start your property journey without using a penny of your own money BEST MOMENTS 'If you don't understand HMOs then you're not going to use them in your portfolio, which is a real shame' 'If you have a good HMO in a good area, you'll have no problem renting it out' 'If you're comparing like-for-like, HMOs are less work!'

In this episode, Simon tells you how you make sure your property is always fully let, which will help you avoid the dreaded "void periods". KEY TAKEAWAYS When a property stands empty, it is costing you money. Make sure the properties in your portfolio are all assets and not liabilities! Sometimes work needs to be done to a property before you can move people in. Be as quick as you can, and remember to advertise the property as soon as you are able. Before you rent out the property, always check the supply and demand in the area, and adjust the rent accordingly. Perhaps you can charge more per month, and haven't realised? Keep on top of maintenance and other issues that may turn people off. Remember that this is your investment, and it pays to keep your tenants happy. BEST MOMENTS 'When you have a void period, you are literally losing money' 'An asset is something that puts money into you pocket, and a liability is something that takes money out' 'It's important to focus and get that property filled as quickly as you can' 'Do not be cheap!'

This week, Simon talks about the Buy-To-Let strategy, and asks the thought-provoking question of whether it might be soon consigned to history. The answer may surprise you... KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy-To-Let is a general term that encompasses a few different strategies in property investment. In essence, it is the practice of buying a property with the intention of leasing that property to a renter in some way. It's important as property investors, to diversify the strategies you use when it comes to your portfolio. Relying on strategy alone can be risky, especially if the market or certain regulations change. Generally apartments are leasehold and houses are freehold, so if someone has an apartment, then there will be more costs associated. Over the last few years, there have been an increasing number of changes, such as Section 24, which came in April 2017, and caused a fundamental change in the way that property investors are taxed. BEST MOMENTS 'I want to stimulate your thinking around this, so that you can come up with your own conclusions' 'You should have different types of property in different areas' 'There has been a real boom in demand for houses with outdoor space' 'The type of accommodation people want to live will vary depending on their age and circumstances' 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 show, Simon will teach you how to buy property below market value in a booming market, meaning that this very podcast could save you tens of thousands of pounds! KEY TAKEAWAYS Mindset and belief are the most important factors in buying during a booming market. Rule No 1 in Property Magic is that we always want to buy from motivated sellers. The national statistics say that 1 in 3 property sales fall apart. This equates to around 36% of deals. You need to remember that if you've found a seller whose sale has fallen through, they are going to be very motivated. When you do a search on Zoopla or Rightmove, make sure you tick the box to include all properties which have already been sold subject to contract, or are under offer. Communicate to the agent involved that if an agreed sale falls through, that you'd be interested in purchasing the property. If it does fall through, your seller will be extra motivated to entertain offers. BEST MOMENTS 'It's possible when you believe that it's possible' 'It's called a seller's market, and it's why prices rise quickly' 'If you give them what they want, they're far more likely to give you what you want' 'You need to make sure that you are proactive' 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 shares the secrets that'll allow you to achieve twice as much in half the time, including the strategies that he personally utilises each day. KEY TAKEAWAYS Time is your most valuable asset. We can always grow wealth and make money, but we are always limited in the time we have. The benefit of property investment is that the income you make can be used to replace the money you need to make through working. This gives you more time, which is the most valuable asset of them all. Giving yourself more time begins with making a decision - with deciding to change our lives for the better. It is the act of defining what matters most to us. Focus is incredibly important, and should be used as an empowering acronym: Follow One Course Until Successful BEST MOMENTS 'I want to help you in the time you have available' 'You can always earn more money, but you can't earn more time' 'You need to be focussed with the time you have and make sure you're doing the right things' 'It's not so much about time management as time allocation' 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 takes a look at the recently announced 2021 budget for the United Kingdom, talks about how the changes may affect your property investment plans, both current and future, and also discusses why maybe the outlook for property investors isn't quite as bad as the media may have led you to believe... KEY TAKEAWAYS Many speculated that capital gains tax would rise in this budget, but that hasn't proven to be the case. It's worth recognising that media speculation can have a negative effect. While many have been fearing the effects of the budget, and feeling anxious about the way in which it could harm investments, the 2021 budget has proven to be not as bad as everyone suspected it might be. The reason the housing market boomed in 2020 was that predictions stated it would collapse, causing the government to cleverly introduce the stamp duty holiday and the furlough scheme. With the furlough scheme extended again until later in 2021, we are set to see a boom in leisure and hospitality this summer when lockdown eases. It's a smart move by the government BEST MOMENTS 'That money has to be paid back at some point, so everyone knows that taxes are going to have to go up in the future' 'I actually think that this budget has been very, very clever' 'I was very surprised by the property boom in 2020, given everything that's happened in the economy' 'Most people actually had more money than they had before' 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 show ,Simon shares the three reasons why virtual networking is better than being in the same room, why networking is crucial to your property success, and how to get the most out of virtual events. KEY TAKEAWAYS The main benefit to virtual networking is that there's no travel involved. You can do it from anywhere, and at any time! Your net worth is your network. The more people you know, the more experience and wisdom you have at your fingertips. Think about what you want to achieve and get out of these events. Planning ahead will allow you to remain focussed upon the moments that matter. Remember that networking is a two-way street. Make sure that you provide value for others instead of making it all about you.

This week, Simon talks you through the six key signposts you need to watch for in order to recognise a good deal in property. KEY TAKEAWAYS Look for properties with instant equity. If you can find a motivated seller and gain yourself some instant equity, you're already in profit. Make sure you only buy properties in areas where there is strong rental demand. You want to be able to rent it our quickly in order to minimise void periods. Look for properties in which you can add value. If you can't add value yourself, then you're relying on the market to add value. Endeavour to make the best return upon your investment that you can. This is calculated by looking at the annual profit divided by the initial investment required. BEST MOMENTS 'A lot of people out there don't really know what makes a great deal' 'If you can buy at a discount, it means you have equity on day one!' 'It's not about getting a discount on the asking price - it's about getting a discount on the value of the property' 'There must be profit left over after the end of every month' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about finding great deals in your area you can register for free online training 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.

In this week's show, Simon talks you through how to conduct your due diligence when investing in property - one of the most important and fundamental processes in ensuring that costly errors are avoided. KEY TAKEAWAYS Due diligence allows us to recognise a good deal, but also to help us recognise a bad deal. Through careful evaluation, we can make sure that expensive errors can be avoided. The very first thing to think about is the area in which you wish to invest. Initially, you will want to stick to an area you know well. Consider the type of tenant you hope to attract. Families may require better locations near schools. Students may require entirely different amenities. Always think about who you're targeting. When calling a letting agent in order to determine demand, instead of saying you're a landlord, pose as a potential tenant as you'll get a far better idea of availability and price. BEST MOMENTS 'You can invest remotely. You'll just need people on the ground who also know the area really well' 'If you don't do this correctly, you could make some expensive mistakes' 'Is this property in an area of strong rental demand?' 'We only buy properties that give us cashflow!'

In this week's show, Simon talks about how you can find property deals during lockdown, and through this unprecedented time of uncertainty. As Simon discusses, there are still deals to be found, and in this episode, he'll tell you how. KEY TAKEAWAYS Viewing properties has become slightly more difficult, but the market is still open, and will remain so, unlike during the first lockdown. After the first lockdown, a stamp duty holiday was introduced, meaning that 2020 saw a property boom as sellers sought to take advantage. This ends in March, and estate agents are now actively seeking other ways to sell. Estate agents are a fabulous source of deals, but they must be approached in the correct way. It's about reversing the perception that investors are time wasters, and that they only make low offers. The five questions you need to ask estate agents are: Have you had any deals fall through due to COVID-19? Do you have any empty properties? Do you have any properties listed as "Cash Buyers Only"? Do you have any properties with more than one agent involved? Do you have any properties listed for sale and for rent? BEST MOMENTS 'It's a really good time to reach out to estate agent to secure deals' 'There are five specific question you can ask in order to get them to think in a different way' 'All sellers want is peace of mind and certainty' 'All of these issues can be fixed with a bit of time' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn about how to sell property deals to other investors for a fee, come and register for some free online training with Simon 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.

In this week's show, Simon talks you through the seven-step process you need to follow in order to achieve financial independence in the next twelve months! KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to work out exactly how much you need in order to get by each month. This is entirely separate from the amount you want. Without a clear, focussed reason behind your desire for financial independence, it becomes all too easy to give up when things get difficult. Recognising the starting point you're at, allows you to see the gap between the present and the future you wish to achieve. Grow your knowledge base. By doing so you'll equip yourself with a greater number of available strategies. Selecting the right strategy is key for every deal. BEST MOMENTS 'Financial independence is where you no longer have to work for a living' 'Get really clear on why you want to achieve this' 'You know what you want - you know why you want it. You need to commit to your financial future' 'Make your success an absolute must' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about becoming financially free go to www.becomefinanciallyfree.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 discusses the seven most common reasons or excuses he hears, for people not wanting to begin their property investment journey, and why with just a little insight and re-framing, you can overcome any of them! KEY TAKEAWAYS Many see a lack of capital upfront as a stumbling block, but there are many creative strategies out there that require no money to get going. Deal sourcing on behalf of others is a superb way of making money for yourself, building relationships with investors, and helping to build a more robust knowledge base for yourself. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. If others can find the time to create wealth and others can't? It all comes down to making the decision to take action, and making this action a priority. Work with motivated sellers - finding them is key. Only buy properties in areas with strong rental demand. Only buy properties that can provide you with cash-flow today! And remember that you're buying for the long term, and always have a cash-buffer. BEST MOMENTS 'These might seem like very valid reasons, but they're really just excuses' 'There are creative strategies where you don't need to put in a lot of money' 'It boils down to a lack of knowledge, and a lack of mind-set and belief' 'Learning how to find really good deals is one of the best things you can do' 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 show, Simon shares with you a simple secret, that if implemented correctly, will double the number of property deals you can complete. KEY TAKEAWAYS Always be actively seeking deals - through agents, landlords or vendors. Part of the process is making an offer. If your first offer is accepted, then you've paid too much. You need to follow up - the money is in the follow up. To get the best deals, focus on finding and helping motivated sellers. No doesn't mean no forever. It means no for now. You need to have persistence. By following up in the correct way, you will do more deals. BEST MOMENTS 'When you apply it, it absolutely works' 'When you make an offer, you want the seller to say no' 'You need to be proactive!'

In this episode, Simon explains Tenant-Buyer Strategy. This works well for both experienced and new buyers. A great follow-on from the previous episode (66) where Simon talked about whether you should rent or buy your own home. Listen in today for Simons knowledge and advice on this strategy, from both sides of the table! KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a ‘sandwich’ buyer can be a risky strategy and something Simon would not recommend. It’s much easier to do the Tenant-buyer Strategy that Simon talks about today, there is a lot less risk involved. A tenant buyer is someone who moves into a property to rent but is given the option to buy the property at a fixed price at a point in time. Becoming a tenant buyer is a great way to get your foot on the ladder. It can also be a way to ‘try before you buy’! Selling to a tenant buyer is great for experienced buyers who have properties they have decided aren’t the best investment for them anymore. Done it the right way you can make both sides happy.

Many rush to buy their own home as soon as possible, but are there benefits to renting instead? In this week's show, Simon talks you through the pros and cons of both, and discusses why you might want to change your thinking depending on the investment strategy you choose. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most view their home as an asset if they buy. This is certainly a long term view, but in the short term, remember that mortgage payments come out every month, and can be very expensive. Owning a home is to have a liability, not an asset. An asset generates wealth, whereas a liability costs you money. There will be more mortgages available to you if you own your own home, but if you don/'t there are still buy-to-let mortgage options out there. A great strategy could be for you to become a tenant-buyer. This is where you move into a property as a tenant but you also have the right to buy that property at some point in the future through a purchase lease option. BEST MOMENTS 'A liability is something that takes money out of your pocket, whereas an asset is something that puts money into your pocket' 'If you have no dependants living with you then it can be a very good strategy' 'You do have a foot on the ladder...' 'If you decide to sell, just remember that you do have a choice...'

Life as a property investor would be far easier if there was one strategy that fitted for everyone, but different deals require different approaches. With this in mind, Simon presents a guide to determining which strategy could work best for the deal you're trying to close. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your chosen strategy will depend on two factors: what is happening in the property market at the time, and what you personally want to achieve. Due to the financial effects of the lockdown, many businesses no longer require their premises. This has led to a dramatic introduction of commercial properties onto the market. Due to the falling market, banks tend to lend less money because of the loss in value of property. This means that some sellers are more open to creative solutions. We should seek to bolster our financial life by looking to install multiple streams of income through different types of investments. This can shield us from damage if challenges arise. BEST MOMENTS 'The property market changes. Sometimes it's booming, sometimes it's coming down' 'After every boom there is always a bust' 'The property value that you pick will be based very much on what you're trying to achieve' 'The most important thing for all investors is to create multiple streams of income' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to learn more about how you can use Purchase Lease Options you can join Simon for some Live online training by registering here: www.PLOTraining.com To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit 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 special episode, Simon shares one of the most invaluable secrets from his Property Magic training course - his 10-Step Process for raising private finance - thereby allowing you far greater freedom for investment even if your own funds run low. KEY TAKEAWAYS Investors can receive a far greater return on their money by investing. Letting it stagnate in a bank account provides little growth. You can sell your ideas and deals to investors this way. Make a list of all the people you know. Think about every group of people you know. Don't make assumptions about who might or might not have money. The people you assume to less well funded may know people who are. Explain that you are educating yourself. Don't argue with people when they question your knowledge. The best strategy is to agree, and also to reinforce that you are educating yourself because you want to be sure of success. The power questions you need to learn by heart are: How much are you currently making on your money in the bank? If we work together, how much interest would you like to earn? If I was able to pay that high rate of interest, how long would you like to earn that high return for? BEST MOMENTS 'Do all your personal contacts know that you're a property investor?' 'I help people who need to sell their property quickly and I help investors get a great return on their money' 'I want to make sure that I avoid the mistakes made by most amateurs' 'When you know what you're doing, investing in property is actually a very good thing to do' VALUABLE RESOURCES To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit 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.

Many feel that they are limited in their investment plans by lack of financing. But as Simon discusses in this week's show, if you do your best to find good deals, then it's far easier to find finance in the form of investors or joint-venture partners. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your investing destiny relies heavily on the people you surround yourself with. If no one in your circle has money for investing, then perhaps you need a new circle... Often those with money don't always have the time to go and find ways to invest. Therefore, you do have an attractive commodity - time! It's never been easier to raise your profile than it is these days. Social media, networking events, and referrals are a superb way of rapidly building your profile. Formulate and verbalise your unique offering. What can you offer to other people? Make an elevator pitch for yourself and refine it. It'll be a useful tool for those moments in which you're able to sell yourself. BEST MOMENTS 'I believe that this is all mind-set' 'If you get good at finding deals, it's much easier to find the money' 'Your environment has a really big impact on your beliefs' 'It's all about the follow-up' VALUABLE RESOURCES To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit 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.

Repayment mortgage, or interest-only mortgage? That's the question everyone has to consider when it comes to buying a property. The route you choose will depend on the strategy you're following. In this week's show, Simon talks you through the benefits of each, and discusses which strategies work best with both. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mortgage on your own home needs to be paid off by the time you retire. This is because when you retire, your lender will assume that your income will significantly drop. The equity in your own home is the means by which many start their investment journey. Many do not have savings, but they have grown equity over time. Always seek advice from an independent and unbiased advisor or broker, who has access to the full market, and who can help you to understand your best route. If you intend to refinance as the value goes up, ti may make much more sense to go the interest-only route, as it makes far more financial sense BEST MOMENTS 'You need to treat your own home differently from any of your investment properties' 'Try and make your fortune and retire early to enjoy the rest of your life while you're still young enough and fit enough to actually enjoy your retirement' 'Over time values go up!'

The property investment world is all about increasing the value of our investments at all times. In this week's show, Simon talks you through the six main principles of making sure your property's value is always on the rise. KEY TAKEAWAYS Purchasing a new-build, or house to which no real improvements are necessary, can be attractive, but it also limits the potential value increase, and can tie up your deposit. Reconfiguring a property means you can add more rooms to a property, which in turn adds significant value. A larger room can easily be split into two, whether upstairs or downstairs. Freehold-to-Leasehold title splitting is a remarkable strategy that can add value by taking an already-converted property, splitting its title into separate parts, selling each part for more money. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the fastest way to grow your portfolio' 'This really is property magic' 'You are metaphorically cutting the cake up' VALUABLE RESOURCES If you would like to join Simon for some detailed training about the Freehold to leasehold Title Split strategy then register here now: www.titlesplittraining.co.uk For more information on Freehold-To-Leasehold strategies go to www.titlesplittraining.co.uk To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit 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 talks about the Chancellor's proposed changes to Capital Gains tax, which are being considered in order to help alleviate the strain put upon the economy by the COVID financial measures, and the impact that these changes could have upon you as a property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax you pay when you have a property that isn't your own residence, and which is sold for a profit. This increase in value is taxable. You will have a Personal Capital Gains Tax Allowance each year, which is currently £12,300. If you have a partner, then you both get this allowance. Sometimes it can be far more financially viable to hang on to a property rather that sell it and pay CGT from the small remainder. The government are quite happy for you not to dispose of the asset during your life, as when you die, the Inheritance Tax your family will pay is far higher (40%). This is why it can actually be far more beneficial to never pay off your mortgage. BEST MOMENTS 'Taxes do change, and it's important for you to keep up to date' 'If you never sell a property, you never have to pay Capital Gains Tax' 'Do you really want to pay off your mortgage?' 'It's so important to get your head around the way tax works, as it may influence the way you invest' VALUABLE RESOURCES To access more free Creative Finance Strategies visit 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.
