The Progressive Property Podcast

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Kevin McDonnell interviews Disruptive Entrepreneur and Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Tune in today to hear them discuss the UK’s biggest property event of the year, what you’ll learn and why you should attend. KEY TAKEAWAYS What’s your favourite property investment strategy? My personal favourite property investing strategy is commercial conversion, because that's what we do and that works for us, because it works well in Peterborough, there are good deals that need planning and we've worked out how to get the planning and we're doing one that's 85,000 square foot that could be up to 160 units. No money down is a way of buying, rent to rent is a way of buying, a lot of people confuse strategies, they think they’re going to do rent to rent or no money down or lease options, but actually no, what you're doing is a way of buying a property. Rent to rent is just circumventing needing a deposit, lease options are circumventing needing a deposit, we use all of those strategies within the strategy of commercial conversion. How many years have you been doing property now? December 15, 2005, was the day my life changed. The last week of that year, I met Mark up my very first property networking event and in February 2006, I started my property investing career properly working in a property company and buying with Mark. That's 13 years nearly. When was the first super conference? 2010 was our first really big event, there's a lot of people that start property training, who never really got much property and that's how progressive is different. The critics say there are too many people out there who teach but haven't done and maybe there are some, but how we're different is every strategy that we teach, we've done. Why did you stop doing the super conference? Those events got more and more expensive, like hundreds of thousands of pounds, this super conference will cost us 500 grand, half a million quid to run an event. The bigger the room, the more expensive they get. That was one thing. The second thing was we started to think if there's a cheap strike if there's a bomb scare if something goes wrong and three to six months of our marketing and our revenue are based on this one event, massive risk. The third thing was I like connecting with people, I'd prefer to speak to 100 people or 200 people than in 1400. I'm better in a smaller room. Every speaker loves the thought of the big stage, but I started to feel more disconnected. We bought our own training sweet over there, what's the point in going into massive events in London when you can do in smaller events here. What’s the main thing you're sort of excited about a product? One of them is creating multiple streams of income. We want to teach you how to create multiple streams of income. The second thing is we wanted the quickest cash flow strategies. What is the reason you give too much content without stopping? My Why is trying to earn respect and love from people and that just won't go away, I love property and I love business. Attend the 10X super conference and learn to be the best. BEST MOMENTS “The harder my challenges are, the more motivated I am.” “All the property strategies that we teach work, otherwise it wouldn't teach them.” “I did single let so many years, but when you've done loads of them, you kind of hunger to scale up and your time isn't worth just doing a single that when you can do bigger stuff.” “I don’t want people to look at me and say, “Rob is doing big commercial conversions, that's what I'm going to do.” if they haven't done a single let yet.” “There are too many people out there who teach but haven't done” “I never teach anything unless I've done it.” “You can learn something from everyone if you stay humble enough to look at someone.” “To know not to do is not to know.” “The easiest person to lie to is you.” “It’s okay to fail and it's best to fail small and fast.” “Mindset skill set strategy and tactics.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth. You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn’t mean they will be a higher quality tenant. Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas’ and one street can make all the difference. The monthly rental profit isn’t the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities. A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less. Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate! BEST MOMENTS "Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?” “You need to know your area” “Your return in the North looks better in the South” “What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business” "It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD What is the best property investment strategy this year? Join Kevin in the first episode of 2024 of the Progressive Property Podcast and learn all about no-money-down (NMD) techniques and why they could work for you in your property investing journey! KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategies vary in their success depending on the area but all strategies work all the time. Historically buy to let, commercial conversions, HMOs and serviced accommodation have always worked and always will. Before you think about which investment strategy to use you need to first get the ‘house’ or property. This is where no money-down techniques come in. No money-down property investment techniques allow you to scale. Don’t confuse property investing with property owning. Most investors own a job but don’t always have lots of properties in their ownership at one time. Cash and a mortgage aren’t the only ways to get into property investing. Time and debt are valuable resources, using no money down techniques you focus on buying these rather than focusing on the physical asset Those with a poor mindset follow the system of getting into debt at a young age and out of debt for retirement. BEST MOMENTS “You can’t do property with your money down” “Most property investors, they own a job” “No money down investment techniques allow you more ideas than traditional thinking” “The richest people on this planet have the most good debt” “If you retire with no debt you’ll likely retire without significant wealth” “There’s a big difference between good debt and bad debt” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Want to Connect with Carole?

Kevin has been in the property game for over 20 years, but it was only when he came to Progressive Property 9 years ago that he really learnt how to become a professional property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS I am not a landlord; I am a property investor. Raising finance is one of the most important aspects of property investing Property is a people business The right house will always find the right tenants You can’t plan your week in detail Become knowledgeable about your local council and regs Long-term thinking is what you need in this business Your network, it’s not just what you know it’s whom you know Boring is best! BEST MOMENTS “There’s a very big difference between a landlord and a property investor, a landlord owns a job while a property investor runs a business” “The quicker you can become the investor the quicker you will scale your business” “Do not pedestalise the money, the most important thing is your knowledge, your action, your time” “Property is about collaboration; property is about your network” “The long-term takes care of itself” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

They talk about strategies anyone can follow to flip houses as well as the unique ways you can leverage social media in your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Scott’s parents were flipping houses throughout his childhood. He is only 27 but has lived in 30 houses! Scott focuses on the cheapest house on an average street. If you are starting out, don’t buy houses that need any major work, instead focus on things that need updating cosmetically. Look for a mentor to guide you and prevent you from making expensive mistakes. After just two deals, Scott made a 70k profit. As Scott grew, he started using contractors and even established deals with kitchen suppliers via social media. You would be surprised how easily brands want to gift items and products to 'house' accounts, you only need a 30k following to get noticed. BEST MOMENTS "It’s knowing the difference between expensive things and things that are going to cheap [to rectify]” “I think they could be much more successful by attending one of your courses” “I made 40k on the first one, I was 20” “It was so much easier having other people doing the work because then I could be doing other things” “People will literally gift you anything” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Rachel is a property investor in Peterborough, the same location as Progressive Property founders Rob and Mark. In this episode, she proves that there are still great deals to be found and money to be made in locations that have large investors in the area. KEY TAKEAWAYS Previously a management consultant who moved into commercial cleaning once she had a family. Rachel was inspired by Rob Moore’s book, Multiple Streams of Property Income to attend the MSOPI event and create her own property portfolio. Being someone who finds an opportunity in a problem is the reason Rachel was able to pivot during the pandemic. Don’t decide on one strategy to use instead look for properties and then adapt and use the strategy that suits that particular property. A lot of the best deals can take time and patience. Rachel frequently works with investors that don’t have the time to find deals or put the work in required for big returns and so she does this for them with their money. BEST MOMENTS “There’s enough for everybody” “The properties ran themselves” “Find properties and then decide which strategy suits the property” “They’ve got to trust you and want to work with you and understand your ethics” “I work with investors who don’t have time” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right’ or ‘best’ property, meaning you’ll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people’s money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises’ ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property’ ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down’ ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today’ ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Turn your properties into a limited company to get access to incorporation relief. (You will still have to pay stamp duty) STOP PAYING TOO MUCH TAX by getting a tax advisor instead of an accountant. If you run a business (and property is a business) make sure you claim for all of your deductible expenses before tax! If you’re investing in a property to rent, look for properties with happy, paying tenants already in it. That way, you don’t have to risk finding potentially rubbish tenants yourself!

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Should I manage my own properties or outsource them to a lettings agency? This might be a question that you are asking yourself, as you start your journey in property. From his fifteen years experience in property, where he now owns his own lettings agency, Kevin McDonnell gives his take on how you should go about it. Whether it’s making sure you get experience self-managing a property, to the benefits of partnering up with an existing agency in a JV partnership, Kevin gives you all the pros and cons of Self-management vs Outsourcing. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I start out in property I thought I would have to do everything. When I started I would always do everything from meeting the tenants, gaining references, prepare and write the contracts. I’d do the repairs, and deal with the day to day issues. I thought that was what an investor required. Whereas today I find great deals and my partner manages out the letting agency on a day to day basis. Learning what the agents need to do. Self-management is a good thing to do at least a small amount. You’ll find out what kind of problems that your tenants have. Your tenants are your clients and you are providing them with a service which you need to provide to the best of your ability. This will also save you on the management fees but cost you in time. This will make sure you have the experience so you know your agent is doing things in the right way. What sort of systems should you have to self manage? I used for my first ten properties, Microsoft Excel. There are loads of fancy apps, but if you have ten properties you can manage them on a spreadsheet. Just get your first house and manage it on Excel. Once it becomes too big, over ten properties, you should look at things like Arthur or GoTenant. We have now moved on to Jupix because we are running a letting agent, and my JV partner runs that but that’s too complicated and costly for if you are just starting out. Give your first couple of properties to an agency. Learn how to do it properly, learn how to self manage your property. Then take on property to self manage so you get an inside guide to what they go through. Learn everything that an agency does. An agency does a lot of work from people who say they are interested in that property, lodge the deposit, gaining references and sorting out contracts. I found a JV partner. I found a local guy who was running a satellite office but he wasn’t on the high street. He was like a virtual agent. I approached him. I asked him to move into the high street into a property that I had bought. He’s 50/50 in the letting agents. I have a JV partner and he gets 50% of the profits. BEST MOMENTS ‘Its about being smarter with your time.’ ‘Be an investor rather than a landlord.’ ‘Since outsourcing, I have more time to think.’ ‘Make sure you see your tenants as clients.’ ‘You don’t need fancy software to manage one house.’ ‘Get perfect later.’ ‘It was cheaper to manage in house.’ ‘The management fees from other landlords pay for the fees.’ ‘When you're starting out you don’t have a skillset.’ ‘Agents do a lot of work.’ ‘You can shadow an agency.’ ‘I wanted to be a business owner.’ ‘It’s a win, win situation.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.xero.com/uk/ https://jupix.com https://gotenant.co.uk https://www.arthuronline.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

They talk about the real-life implications and applications of AI and VR including relationships with clients, costs and convenience. KEY TAKEAWAYS VR and AI present a unique opportunity to build better relationships. There will be huge time savings to be had once AI has been established within a workflow. Virtual reality means that staff and people other than the landlords can review accommodation, sending the recording to the landlord to review at their convenience. Communication is essential if AI and VR are to work in any industry, individuals and companies need to be educated with realistic expectations. MJ believes that real estate agents haven’t been told or educated about why and how AI and VR could work for them. You don’t have a business unless you have happy customers, if you can make your customers happier then you can generate more income, Kev would want AI or VR to aid in this. BEST MOMENTS “I’m really excited about this and also really scared” “Relationship building is important between a real estate agent and a customer” “Any relationship starts with trust in the first place” “Would you buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour?” “You know way more about the technology than the actual client that would be using it” “If you want to sell me on virtual reality you need to sell me the benefits not ask me why I would use it” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so. When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths. Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial. Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones.

Martin talks about how he got started in property investing and how he turned his initial zero investment into a scalable successful property business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Martin was working in hospitality but then read Kevin’s book which made him decide to do the Progressive No Money Down Course and hasn’t looked back since. When lockdown hit, Martin took the initiative and put himself out there on social media and it worked – he secured deals whilst most of the country was on pause. Martin has already managed to scale his no-money down property business, he has managed this mostly by using creative techniques he learnt from Progressive, often helping people along the way too. Networking was incredibly beneficial to Martin and his team. This made him want to join and expand the Progressive Property Network in his area of Preston. BEST MOMENTS “You can create the money to buy that building out of the profits of the pub, it becomes a true no-money-down deal the money is created before you ever buy it from the asset you’ve acquired” “It’s helping people get more from their property in a creative structured way” “If you’re listening to this, do not share the details of a deal unless you’ve got it secured” ALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD One of the biggest hurdles when starting property investing is getting over the idea that it is hard. It isn’t hard, it’s just new to you. In this episode, co-founder of Progressive Property, Rob Moore tells you why this is and what you need to do to conquer this feeling. KEY TAKEAWAYS Working for yourself, doing what you love and building an empire might feel daunting. But it’s a lot easier living a life you want to instead of wishing your time away doing something uninspiring and that you hate. There will always be people in the game that are struggling. Those people will tell you that it is too hard and it’s not as it seems. If things feel hard that means you haven’t created realistic expectations. Don’t focus on the negatives of something new. Enjoy this period of time, when something is new it’s exciting and you won’t get to experience it in that way again.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast we revisit episode 134 where Dan gives you the 5 essential things to consider when looking for a JV partner. Choosing your JV partner is NOT a child’s game, like pin the tail on the donkey or ring-around-the-rosy. There’s too much at stake when you don’t think carefully and you don’t have your guards up. Discover how you can thoroughly pick the best JV partner in your property business through Dan’s simple steps. There will always be one who’s very compatible with your knowledge, skills, and vision, so never settle! KEY TAKEAWAYS Work out the real reason you need a JV partner. Are you really in dire need? Or are you just lacking of self-belief? What business are you looking to bring your JV partner on? Make sure that your bringing in the right person. If you don’t want to do it alone, it’s worth considering also to have a mentor who can guide you. Having a JV partner might complicate the situation if you aren’t clear yet of your purpose. What will each person’s role be? It’s best that you complement each other. Find someone who have the knowledge and skills that you lack. And, who will deal with the day to day issues? If you just want someone who will provide the funds, then being active with the operations is the least to worry about when looking for a JV partner. Before any agreements, remember to make a list of things you need to agree upfront. A JV Partnership agreement must entail everything each of you must bring to the table. What does your JV partner want? Know what outcome are they looking forward to. Also prepare an exit plan just incase of unforeseen circumstances (e.g. breach of contract, critical illness, etc.) If you’re looking for a joint venture in property, familiarize yourselves first with PS13/3 regulations. There are only a bunch of people you’re allowed to joint venture with, and PS13/3 has it detailed. Don’t pick someone just like you. You are not looking for another you, you are looking for someone who can do what you can’t do. Consider taking the Wealth Dynamics Test to gauge if your personalities are compatible. You and your partner can be: a Creator, a Star, a Supporter, a Deal Maker, a Trader, an Accumulator, a Lord, or a Mechanic. Don’t rush in to picking a JV partner. If you’re picking someone for the long term, test everything out first. It would be a waste of time to know that what you have hope for in the partnership won’t be fruitful. Be clear about their values, not just about the money, the skill, and the knowledge they can offer. BEST MOMENTS “Sometimes, people think they need a JV partner and they go into business with somebody when in hindsight, all they needed was to build some knowledge and gain some belief for themselves.” “We have the end in mind before we even started, and that’s what’s really important.” “You are not looking for the best mate to go out with, you are looking for a business partner who brings a different dynamic, a different skillset.” “Pick the right person to grow the business.” “It’s not a race; it’s a journey.” “I made a lot of mistakes in property, but I made them before I got educated.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Progressive Property PS13/3 Restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes (PDF) Wealth Dynamics Test ABOUT THE HOSTKevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities. BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Shimon Rudich of MS Law joins Kev to talk about creative property investing including the many options out there and the most effective ways of utilising them to grow your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to be willing to think outside of the box and out of your comfort zone in order to use creative property investing techniques. If you want to scale quickly and make money faster then creative property techniques are the way forward for you. There are many similarities between what is happening now and 2008, if the housing market crashes there will be many opportunities for experienced property investors. If the market crashes, as a property investor you pay less but you can still charge the same rent. It also ‘culls’ a lot of investors that aren’t serious so can be a positive thing for you as an investor. There isn’t one single strategy that works for everyone or even every situation. You must tailor your strategy to your unique circumstances. BEST MOMENTS “Different people have different mentalities” “If you only do things in one way you limit the opportunities” “We buy properties to make money and instead of buying in the usual way we can buy to make more money, why say no” “They deserve to be out of the game” “Less competition, pay less, what’s bad about a market crash now?” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Rob joins Kev in this episode to talk about his property journey. He talks about how he balances his day job with his property investing and why anyone can work out this balance in their own lives. Rob and Kev also talk about the importance of thinking creatively in property investing and why there are always opportunities out there for investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even though he has a day job, Rob is always thinking about his next move in property. He believes that anyone can find the time to do property investing is they are focused enough. He started with buy-to-lets and then started to look at more creative ways to invest. An accountant and a tax adviser are different things. If you want to save money on tax, then an adviser is who you want to be hiring. Rob used to not talk about his property investing but after altering his mindset is happy to boast about being a property investor and the success he is having as a landlord. BEST MOMENTS "I’ve been interested in property since I was at school and at the end of the day if you focus on it you can find the time” “If you can be open-minded about things and think creatively to do these deals then I think there is a lot more opportunity out there” “One of my mindset changes is now I’m proud to boast I’m a property investor” "All three of us became millionaires through investing in property" VALUABLE RESOURCES Ashley & Lewis Property - https://www.ashleylewisproperty.com/ Rob Walters Facebook - https://progressivegroupweb.slack.com/archives/D038X69QB8S/p1724225985152269 MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kev is joined by fellow property investor and podcast host of the Tutor Podcast, Neil Cowmeadow. Neil first started investing in property 8 years ago and shares with Kev the upsides, downsides and the many lessons he has learnt along the way. Neil also talks about why he trained with Progressive Property and how he became financially free. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most financial advisors aren’t financially free themselves. They are still just working a job. Neil did a couple of property flips before finding Progressive Property and got his knowledge through reading property books. He started attending some of the free Progressive courses and then began doing some of the paid ones. Training with Progressive Property allowed Neil to implement a strategy he knew would work for him and that was tried and tested. Neil now has 21 rental properties and has used 400k of other people’s money to not only give them value for money, but also allow him to grow and scale as a property investor. No matter where you live, there will be a property strategy that will work in your location. There are great books out there on property investing but nothing compares to learning from experts directly and networking in a room alongside people on the same journey as you. BEST MOMENTS "Sunk some money in, thinking the cost of a course would be less than the cost of implementing a failed strategy” “I wouldn’t have had the skillset, the belief, that possibility of scale (without Progressive Property training)” “I’m doing just single lets at the moment as they take less of my time” “It’s all based on how much you know and you can read…but the very best thing I’ve found is to get in a room with people who are also travelling in the same direction” "If I can do it anybody can" "Believe in yourself, no one is coming to the rescue" VALUABLE RESOURCES www.neilcowmeadow.com [email protected] Twitter @tutorpodcast MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Darren and Kev talk about a frequently forgotten topic in property, CDM regulations. Darren shares his experience in property and CDM regulations and talks about why he is so passionate about teaching others the importance of understanding how to protect themselves. Kev and Darren also outline the scenarios where CDM regulations matter and how to protect yourself as a property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS CDM regulations stand for construction, design and management regulations. This is essentially about running construction projects in the right way. CDM regs apply to you in any non-domestic construction. As the client, as the investor, understanding or having someone who understands the CDM regulations is essential to protect yourself. On a large project, it can be worth paying for one contractor to deal with all sub-contractors, to save you time and derisk the project. When choosing a contractor ask for recommendations and ask them if they will work to CDM regs. BEST MOMENTS "CDM regs are in place regardless of what project you’re in, so anything to do with construction” “People get scared by it (CDM Regulations) because they think it’s a big thing” “Always ask contractors if they’ll work to CDM regs” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://linktr.ee/darrenburrows Taurus Project Solutions - https://www.taurus-property.com/projects?r_done=1 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/darren.burrows1/?locale=en_GB LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenburrows1/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuGLmCrylHRvjsovzotwuQQ MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Sean Fitzpatrick joins Kev to talk about what he has been doing on his property investment journey. He shares why one deal was enough for him to quit his job, and the value of the Progressive community and talks about why investing in your own local area is excellent advice! KEY TAKEAWAYS Sean was told all his life to study hard and get to university, but it was whilst he was there, that he realised that his degree left him very few real options to make a living. He moved to England and sang in church choirs as this provided him accommodation. After a few years, he then became a school teacher but it became exhausting and he knew he needed to do something differently. After listening to the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, something in his brain flipped and he started to think of ways he could turn his current property into an asset. Robert Kiyosaki said he completed a no money down course, and it changed his life so Sean looked into doing a no money down course too, and this is how he found Progressive Property. Sean began to implement some of the things Kevin had told him to do on the course and they worked. In one deal, Sean managed to make enough to earn more than his monthly salary as a teacher and it was then he considered quitting his full-time job. Since his first deal Sean has worked on flipping properties and well as standard buy-to-lets. BEST MOMENTS "I started getting that niggling feeling inside that something wasn’t right, I needed to do something different, I realised unless I did something fairly drastic I would be stuck in the system of constantly working for very little pay” “Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he did a no money down course and that’s the thing that changed his life” “It turns out that Kevin McDonnell was right!” “Follow the successful and the success follows” “That one deal gave me the flexibility of thinking about leaving my job” VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sean.fitzpatrick.752/?_rdr MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Using all his savings to invest in off-plan properties abroad Didn’t believe anyone would lend him money Was stuck in the 'system' BEST MOMENTS "I didn’t have a plan” “I didn’t have belief, mistake number 2 was I really didn’t believe in myself, I didn’t believe anyone would lend me money” “I used all my problems as an excuse not to take any action” “Formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin interviews Tina Cleary, a photographer turned property investor. Tina shares her journey from struggling with an inconsistent photography income to building a thriving property portfolio in just 18 months. Discover how Tina overcame her initial hesitations, leveraged her skills, and achieved financial stability through property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tina transitioned from a 28-year photography career with unpredictable income to generating nearly £4,000 monthly from property investments within 18 months. Despite initial hesitations and having no money on her property journey, Tina successfully entered property investing using no-money-down strategies and mentorship. Tina's first rent-to-rent deal, secured with borrowed funds, now generates £800-900 monthly profit and in January after paying off her investor will increase to £2300 which will covers her bills Networking and leveraging transferable skills, such as property photography, can create additional income streams and investment opportunities. Tina stresses the importance of taking action, even when scared, as the alternative of staying stagnant is more frightening! Tina’s future goals include creating a legacy, helping others get on the property ladder, and exploring supported living investments for a positive social impact. BEST MOMENTS "I will never regret doing this because I feel that nothing would have ever changed because I have tried so many things to have a more income." "It's even scarier staying still and nothing changing. And I would bring my daughters here, which I already have bought one. And I hand on heart would just say, do it because it is life changing." "I think it actually helped like not having the money because like how you train us. So sometimes money can be a distraction." "Don't wish for no problems, wish for the ability to handle bigger ones."

Kevin hosts Swedish property investors Nana Piesie and Emelie Lindberg Piesie. They share their journey of investing in UK property remotely from Sweden, and soon to be Spain. Discover how they've built a diverse portfolio across England, their strategies for finding deals, and the importance of networking. This episode shows how international investors can succeed in the UK market, offering knowledge for both local and foreign property investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Remote property investing is possible with the right education and network. Nana and Emelie have successfully built a portfolio of 16 rent-to-rents, 2 lease options, and several purchases across England while living in Sweden. The UK property market offers more opportunities for small investors compared to Sweden, where regulations and finance options are restrictive, making it difficult for individuals to invest in property. Joint ventures with local partners can be an effective strategy for remote investors, ensuring better management and alignment of interests in rent-to-rent deals. Consistency in your property investment journey is crucial for attracting investors. Staying focused on property and avoiding frequent shifts to other investment types builds trust and credibility. Networking is fundamental to success in property investing, leading to off-market deals, partnerships, and investment opportunities. Building relationships at property events and trainings is invaluable. Getting properly educated about the UK property market is essential for foreign investors. It provides the knowledge needed to navigate regulations, find deals, and build a successful portfolio remotely. BEST MOMENTS "If UK had the sun, we would move directly. Because the people in the UK, we love the people in the UK. You're amazing. Everyone is happy, even if they're not happy". "Without the network, we wouldn't be here, where we are today. No obviously all of the connections that we made and some of them have turned out to be become friends now." "We have some investors that came like three years in because they were like just looking, okay, are they still doing property? Are they still doing property? And then boom." "Get educated, I would say. Yeah. You gotta get educated first if you don't live there, if you don't know the rules. That was like critical for us."

At the halfway point of 2024, Kev gives a mid-year kickstart and talks about 7 steps you can take to start your property journey now. If you haven’t started your journey this year, or you’re feeling behind, this will help motivate you and get you on your way to making 2024 a property investing success! KEY TAKEAWAYS Adjust your mindset. Your mindset can be the biggest barrier to achieving your goals. Get rich quick schemes never work, you need to think longer term to change your life. Self-education makes you a fortune, formal education only makes you a living. Raise money resourcefully, you need the right finance to get started but this doesn’t have to be your own money! Start simple, boring is best. Over time you can build to bigger projections when you have experience. Build a supportive team of people who understand what you are trying to achieve. BEST MOMENTS “Half of 2024 is now gone but this is still a great time to start” “It’s about a clear long-term perspective” “The job you are in is working for someone else, it’s working for them but it’s not working as well for you” “Your bank account is holding you back” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Join Kevin as he interviews Tricia Crocker, a property investor who's made remarkable progress in just 18 months. Discover how Tricia went from juggling multiple jobs to successfully managing rent-to-rent properties and executing creative deals. Learn how she overcame self-doubt and leveraged unconventional strategies to build her property portfolio, all while maintaining a full-time job and family commitments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tricia transitioned from various careers to property investing after attending a Multiple Streams of Property Income event, demonstrating the impact of education and networking. She utilises creative strategies like rent-to-rent, vendor finance, and assisted sales, proving that property investing doesn't always require significant personal capital. Tricia manages six rent-to-rent properties, generating an average monthly profit of £8,000, showcasing the potential of this strategy. Building confidence and overcoming self-doubt were crucial to Tricia's success, achieved through continuous learning and surrounding herself with like-minded individuals. Direct-to-vendor approaches have been more effective for Tricia than working with estate agents, highlighting the importance of personal communication in property deals. Balancing a full-time job, family commitments, and property investing is challenging but achievable through prioritisation and consistent daily actions towards goals. BEST MOMENTS "I've always had an interest in property, So that's how come I ended up here and I turned up at a multiple streams property income one day. And the rest is history." "I come to the mastermind sessions frequently every month without fail to surround myself with people who are further ahead than me and who know what they're doing." "I've managed to help other people within my family and my friends and my kids, friends, parents and other things sort out Issues that they've had with their properties and that." "I have learned that I'm the only person that's responsible for how I react to things. And I'm the only person that's responsible to change my life."

‘Overall estate agents are good at helping you to get the best deal, but they are also great at ensuring the best deal for themselves’ In this fascinating episode, Kevin shares 7 tricks that are vital for anyone who is a property entrepreneur. He explains why agents use these tricks and how you can respond to make sure you are getting what YOU want from an agent, listen in now. KEY TAKEAWAYS Losing the keys If a letting agent is competing with another agent it can stop access, so they do not miss out on commission. Estate agents also lose keys to manipulate who is viewing a property because they may have a preferred buyer. Making you feel that you have to act now Agents are commission based so their focus is getting deals done. They will tell you there are other offers on the table or that the vendor is about to remove the property from the market to build FOMO (Fear of missing out). Talking you out of the best deal for you Never let the agent know your bottom price when selling, or your top price for buying remember they are working for commission. If you let them know these prices they will make the deal at the figures you have disclosed. Selling you extra advertising If your property is not selling agents will often tell you they can introduce extra advertising if you pay them more, the question you should be asking is why weren’t they doing this at the start of the sale process? Incorrect valuations There are 3 types of agents, and they value in different ways. Overvaluation – the aim is to tie you into a contract with them by offering an above market valuation that entices you to sign up with them and then managing your expectations. A correct valuation – this agent is realistic they may not have as many properties on their books but are the most honest and accurate in their valuation. A low valuation – this is aimed at getting the property it sold as quickly as possible. Getting you to sign along-termsole agency contract or charging up front Only use one agent to market your property but keep flexible and don’t get tied into a long-term contract. High street agents usually operate on a contract and charge you at the end Online agents entice you in with a lower fee, but you have to pay up front. This means they have no incentive to sell the property. Convincing you to use their recommended mortgage broker If you need a mortgage they will be keen for you to use the in-house mortgage broker as this will be double commission for them. The mortgage broker is unlikely to be an independent and will therefore not have access to the ‘whole of the market’ for the buyer this results in a more limited choice of mortgage products. BEST MOMENTS ‘Trust me they know where the keys are’ At the end of the day, a bid is just a bid, it doesn’t mean it will go through to completion’ ‘Get 3 different quotes to ensure you have an understanding of the ways agents value properties’ ‘As you will be buying and selling a number of properties building a positive relationship with your agent is key’ ‘It costs you because you will not have access to the best mortgage product for you’ VALUABLE RESOURCES No Money Down: Property Investing book by Kevin McDonnell ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin shares his expertise on starting a property empire with no money down. He challenges conventional wisdom, debunks common excuses, and reveals how anyone can kickstart their property journey, regardless of their financial situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS No Money Down is not just a technique, but a mindset and way of life that allows investors to scale their property portfolio without using their own funds. The CREST model (Credibility, Return, Exit, Security, Trust) is crucial for raising money and building successful property deals. Having money can be a disadvantage in property investing, as it can lead to analysis paralysis and missed opportunities. Surrounding yourself with the right people and changing your environment is essential for success in property investing. There are numerous No Money Down techniques, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, and vendor finance, that can be used to acquire properties. Focus on creating passive income streams from property to fund lifestyle expenses, rather than relying on earned income from a job. BEST MOMENTS "No money down doesn't mean no money. No money down is a way of life. No money down is a change of thinking." "I spent a bit of time doing what most people won't. So I can spend the rest of my life living how most people can't." "Most people make excuses instead of making money. And the thing is, you can only have one of them. It's which one you choose." "Money has never been the obstacle. It's all about the knowledge of what techniques to use and how."

Jamie joins Kevin on the podcast to talk about what prompted him to change his life and start investing in property. He shares the knowledge that has helped him build and grow his portfolio and also reveals why buy-to-let is his favourite property investing strategy. KEY TAKEAWAYS After travelling to the USA Jamie realised that he needed to change the direction of his life. Once Jamie decided property investing would give him the lifestyle he wanted, he started doing two flips a year alongside his Dad whilst still working full-time. After a few years, Jamie and his Dad split the money they had made and Jamie started investing on his own. One of the negative sides of flipping properties is the waiting for the sale, it can take anything from weeks to months to complete. HMOs as an investment strategy can be a lot more maintenance and work than many people realise. You have to keep it at a high spec to continue to keep it at full capacity to generate the income you need. Jamie’s next step is to move to the U.S and expand his business. Having a good social media presence means potential clients will already feel like they know you, there is a relationship being built before you even speak let alone approach making a deal. Positive procrastination can come from fear, it’s better to just start the process of property investing, you don’t need everything to be perfect to get started. BEST MOMENTS "I decided that I would get into property someway, somehow” “I prefer to by-to-lets, I’m not overly keen on HMOs” “I didn’t have a leg up, at all” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin shares his candid views on the upcoming UK election. For the first time ever, Kevin reveals he will be voting Conservative, explaining his reasoning and urging listeners to carefully consider their vote. With a potential property boom on the horizon, Kevin stresses the importance of making informed decisions both in the voting booth and in property investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin believes voting for smaller parties is a wasted vote, as either Labour or Conservatives will ultimately win the election. Despite disliking both main parties, Kevin will vote Conservative as he believes they have a slightly better plan than Labour. The smartest economists work in the private sector, not in government, which contributes to the country's problems. A property crash is currently happening, with 1 in 4 people in mortgage arrears, but a massive property boom is expected to follow. The wealth gap will continue to grow as printed money during the pandemic has ended up with the wealthy, who will invest in assets like property. It's crucial for individuals to carefully consider their vote and make informed decisions about property investment. BEST MOMENTS "If you vote and there's many people, and I've had this debate on social media this week with people where there's like, Oh, I'm going to vote reform or I'm going to vote liberal Democrats or I'm going to vote whatever. Um, I hope this message gets out before the 4th of July election, you are wasting your vote." "The smartest minds are not in the government. They're not in the Labour Party. They're not in the Conservative Party. They're not in the Reform Party. They're not in the Liberal Democrat Party. They are in the private sector." "We are in a crash. The thing is, 25 percent of people are crashing, and 75 percent are absolutely fine. And people listen to this and they'll go, Oh, well, I don't see a crash. That's because you're not crashing. You're absolutely fine." "Vote not for the party that's going to solve the problem, because they're not going to solve the problem. Vote for the party that's not going to make the problem bigger."

Kevin is joined by wealth creation expert Kevin Whelan to discuss innovative strategies for building financial independence. From leveraging the power of SSAS pensions to exploring the seven pillars of wealth, Whelan shares eye-opening insights and practical advice that will inspire listeners to take control of their financial future. Tune in to discover how you can create multiple streams of recurring income and set yourself and your family up for generational wealth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wealth creation means generating multiple streams of recurring income to create life certainty in an uncertain world, not just for yourself but for the next generation. There are seven key assets you can use to build wealth: home equity, pension, investments, property portfolio, business, intellectual property, and joint ventures/collaborations. SAS pensions allow small business owners to take control of their pension funds, invest in various assets, and even lend money back to their own businesses for growth. Adding your spouse and children (once they turn 18) to your SSAS pension creates a powerful vehicle for tax-efficient contributions, wealth-building, and generational financial education. Intellectual property is a valuable asset that most people underutilise, you can find ways to repackage, repurpose, and redistribute your expertise to multiply your value. Joint ventures and collaborations allow you to combine different people's strengths, perspectives, and resources to ethically serve others and create wealth together. BEST MOMENTS "Wealth only comes from the application of education plus commitment to take some action. You can't just learn, which is what most people will do." "SAS allows people to build wealth today, not wait for tomorrow." "We have the right and responsibility to educate our own children about money. They're going to live on average now to a hundred. So they're either going to have to get the lesson, otherwise, they're going to be working until they're 80." "One of the best things I ever did in 2016 was setting up my SSAS, my pension, my future for my kids." ABOUT THE GUEST Kevin Whelan is one of the UK’s leading experts and authorities on creating wealth. He’s an economist, author and the founder of WealthBuilders, an organisation dedicated to helping ambitious employees and time-poor business owners create multiple streams of recurring income independently of their job or business. Kevin teaches a simple, step-by-step, easy to follow processes that anybody can use to build wealth.

Kev is joined by John and Sarah Crew who share their journey in property investing the past two years. This episode might just inspire you to get started or give you new ideas on what you can do with your property portfolio in your area. John and Sarah also talk about how important the network and knowledge gained from Progressive has been in their recent success. KEY TAKEAWAYS On his days off as a firefighter, John began helping his builder friend. Sparked by an interest in their Victorian property, John and Sarah then began to renovate and used money they had saved to start their own buy, refurbish, refinance strategy. They first attended a progressive event in 2020 which made them realise they would need to use other people’s money to build their portfolio. All locations have an abundance of property deals, you just have to learn how to find them. Build your profile in your area and network, if people know who you are and what you’re looking for the deals will be easy to find. If you find good deals then finding an investor to back you won’t be difficult. You are providing a valuable service. The purchase price of a property in BRR is one of the least important factors, the main focus is actually on the redevelopment value. John and Sarah are still working full time but this will change within the next two years when John and Sarah plan on both taking property investing on full time. The best time to start investing in property is right now. BEST MOMENTS “We decided to use a bit of money we had to start the BRR strategy” “There are more deals out there than you could ever imagine” “I don’t think necessarily you have to physically be everywhere but you have to put yourself out there and make sure people know what you’re doing and what you’re looking for” “It was quite a scary concept, using other people's money. Now we feel comfortable with that” “We’re working towards something and nothing will get in our way” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Alana joins Kev in this episode to talk about leaseholders and service charges. They discuss why this may be the next scandal and how the government, councils and owners can tackle the problem. They also talk about why new builds are never a good investment strategy as a house buyer and the inflated prices they charge. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some developers are claiming the leasehold charges are for the upkeep of things like roads and playparks. Developers may build parks to get planning in areas that previously would be refused. These leasehold properties on new builds aren’t transparent. Many house buyers are completely unaware of what they are buying into. Kev believes that these types of leasehold charges on new houses should be banned. We pay enough council tax that councils should be paying for roads, parks etc… New build houses are always sold for an inflated price. Legislation should be targeting the bad 5% of tenants and landlords, not the good 95%. Most current laws and legislation are hurting the good tenants and landlords. BEST MOMENTS “New build developers are advising houses for sale but they are being sneaky” “This just screams dodgy to me” “You’re almost living on a toll road when you move into one of these estates” “They’re creating a legacy for generations to come” “It’s kind of a legal-robbery” “95% of landlords are great but it’s the 5% that give them a bad name” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin engages in a thought-provoking debate with tenant Alana Jackson James. They explore the complex relationship between landlords and tenants, discussing rent increases, costs, and the challenges both parties face. Kevin also shares invaluable insights into the property market, government policies, and the importance of financial education. KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords are not simply raising rents to increase profits; they are facing significantly higher costs due to interest rate hikes and maintenance expenses, often only passing a small percentage of these increases onto tenants. The government benefits from higher property prices through increased taxes, such as inheritance tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty, while landlords and tenants struggle with affordability. Landlords play a crucial role in providing housing for those who cannot or do not want to buy, and removing them from the market would lead to a severe shortage of available homes. The government and media often use the landlord-tenant debate as a vote-winning strategy, distracting from the real issues and lack of effective solutions to the housing crisis. Financial education is essential for both tenants and aspiring property owners to make informed decisions and create a stable future, as the school system fails to provide this crucial knowledge. Empty homes owned by councils could be a key solution to the housing shortage, but there seems to be a lack of political will to address this issue effectively. BEST MOMENTS "Higher rents does not make me more money as a landlord. Very simple thing. Higher rents are because of higher costs." "The system does not teach us financial education in school. And they don't teach us financial education in school because they don't want you financially educated." "Attack the easy person to hit. It's like the bully in the playground, go for the little guy. So let's attack the little guy." "Too many people are too book-smart and not street-smart. And what that means is they get stuck in a job exactly in the system the government want you in. Yeah, giving you enough every month to survive but not enough to thrive." "Cheaper prices, cheaper rents. Cheaper interest rates, same profit margin, solved the problem. But who actually needs higher prices? The government. The government need higher prices. Why? Because they get a tax for higher stamp, higher price, more stamp duty. Higher price, more capital gains tax. Higher price, more inheritance tax." "Sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do so you can do what you want to do.I worked really hard doing what most people won't so that I can spend the rest of my life living how most people can't."

Kevin is interviewed about his new book, "Cash in a Property Crash". Kevin shares critical insights on the current state of the UK property market, predicting a significant crash following the election. He reveals strategies for investors to not only survive but thrive during this downturn, and talks about the importance of education and creative thinking in property investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The UK is in a property market correction and heading towards a crash, with many people struggling to afford their mortgages due to rising interest rates. Financing property deals is more about mindset than actual money; the wealthy control debt and leverage other people's money and properties. Property investing should be treated as a business, focusing on building a portfolio during a crash rather than saving for a single property. The system is designed to keep people in the middle class, paying taxes, and unaware of financial strategies used by the wealthy. Creative property investing techniques, such as lease options and vendor financing, can help investors acquire properties with little to no money down. Self-education is crucial for building wealth, as formal education primarily prepares people for jobs and paying taxes. BEST MOMENTS The great thing about property is anybody can do it. The jobs you do today are probably a lot more difficult than property." "The system doesn't survive without the middle class. And the system doesn't want people to be financially savvy, because if they're financially savvy, then they'll stop paying the taxes "I didn't put any money into my office deal, but on my home, I didn't just do my home with no money. My home, I was paid to purchase it." "Self-education makes you a fortune. Formal education makes you a living."

In this episode, Jackie Gammage joins Kev to share her knowledge and insight into property management. Jackie talks about her journey into property including the mistakes she has made. She also offers invaluable advice on mindset and skillset and talks about why everyone can benefit from the value of their own transferable skills. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jackie found it difficult to get started in property. She now recognises this was because of her own mindset. She was risk-averse and fuelled with fear which prevented her from taking action. It’s easy to get stuck in life, to stay comfortable. But not taking action prevents us from moving forward and achieving what we want. You will already have some of the skills needed to become a property investor, you just need to work out what they are and then build upon the areas where you need to learn. To achieve what you want you need to focus on it daily, create the steps and plan needed to make it happen. Surround yourself with people who have similar aspirations. Read and learn as much as possible to improve your mindset and self-awareness. BEST MOMENTS "I found that the more senior I got the less fulfilled I was becoming” “The fear of going into something new stopped me from taking action” “We’ve all got transferable skills and we don’t realise it” “Who is the person I have to become to get what I want?” “You become your environment” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/jackie.gammage.9 MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Mark is a property investor based in Plymouth. He joins the show to talk to Kevin about his property journey, including what he was doing previously and his current projects. Mark’s investment journey hasn’t been linear, and he shares with Kev the lessons he learnt and how Progressive Property training has aided him in transforming his portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark first started investing in property 20 years ago, but his progress hasn’t been straightforward, one of his first properties remained in negative equity for years after purchase. Mark wasn’t educated about adding value or how to be an effective property investor and landlord. This education has transformed the way he approaches his property business and investments. Adding value was one of the first and most important lesson Mark learnt from Progressive. It’s about recycling your money and being able to build growth. When buying off-plan, you will always overpay. No money down and HMOs resonated with Mark so these are the strategies he began to invest in. In 26 months, Mark has done 9 deals, which is more than one deal every 12 weeks! One of Mark’s proven strategies is sending out letters to potential landlords and investors. BEST MOMENTS "I’ve always had a passion for property” “If you want to be a property investor you should be adding value, recycling your money” “It wasn’t that property was bad it was just I was bad at it” “As entrepreneurs, we will never be happy with what we’ve got” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Join the conversation with Emerald Fisk, a former personal trainer turned successful property investor who shares her inspiring journey in this episode. Discover how Emerald went from having no money and support to building a thriving property portfolio through networking, education, and the right mindset. Learn about the challenges she faced, the opportunities she found, and the lessons she learned along the way. Emerald also shares valuable insights on the current property market, creative financing strategies, and the importance of investing in your local area. KEY TAKEAWAYS Networking, education, and the right mindset are crucial for success in property investing, even with no prior experience or funds. Joint venture partnerships can be a powerful way to leverage other people's resources and expertise to get started in property. Embracing challenges, stepping out of your comfort zone, and believing in yourself are key to overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals. The current property market presents massive opportunities for educated investors, while tired and uneducated landlords are selling up. Investing in your local area can be more advantageous than chasing cheap deals in unfamiliar locations. Creative financing strategies, such as no money down investing, can help you build a portfolio without using your own funds. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people and learning from their experiences can help you develop a more open and growth-oriented mindset. BEST MOMENTS "If I can do it, anybody can do it. You always need the right network around you, the right mindset and the right education. That's the three things that you need." "It's very hard to network when you don't have a conversation." "I see the educated people taking advantage of everything that's going on at the moment, and I see the uneducated people wanting to leave the property market." "If you're in the more expensive areas, that's great. Find people that want to work with you in those areas." "If you've got a closed mindset, the only way you can change that is go and spend time with other people with a more open mindset."

Wendy Brumwell, a successful commercial conversion property investor joins Kev in this episode. Wendy talks about the strategies she has used in the past 11 years of her property investing journey and shares the lessons she has learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS For ten years Wendy knew what she wanted to do in property but she thought she had to have the cash to do it. She immediately realised this wasn’t the case when she attended her first property investing course. Permitted development ‘PD’ is planning that is already set at a government level. This means as long as you meet all of the criteria outlined then you already have agreed planning permission. Wendy takes time every morning to do something for her whether such as reading or exercise. She does this to set up her day. Wendy learnt so many lessons from her self-build project that she now wants to do it all over again! Anybody can do property, including commercial conversions. They just need the right education. BEST MOMENTS "You spent ten years saving it all up, I spent ten years messing it all up” “Sometimes being an entrepreneur, if you enjoy what you do it doesn’t feel like work” “I learnt so much from it that I would do it again and do all those things differently” "You can start with smaller projects and work your way up" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kev is joined by Justine in this episode. Justine shares why she chose to start running progressive property networking events and all about her property investing journey. Justine also talks about why mindset is paramount in building your own property business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Justine has over 30 years of experience in property investing. She stresses the importance of diversifying and being adaptable to remain agile and profitable in the property space. Mistakes were part of Justine’s early journey, she recognises that these could have been avoided if she had focused on property education before getting started. Learning in person and from others has a far higher implementation and success rate than simple reading books. You have to have a forever-pupil mindset in property investing and all business ventures, there is always something you can learn. Justine’s strategy is focused on building her lifestyle, so HMOs for example wouldn’t be a workable strategy for her. Hosting a PPN event helps Justine remain accountable Anyone can build a property business, they just need the right mindset and the dedication to learn. BEST MOMENTS "Good luck to you if you want to do it on your own but you’re only going to get so far” “Everybody has their own strategy that works for them, mine is about lifestyle” “It feels more like a community” "It's about having the right mindset, anybody can do it you just have to have the belief" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Join Kev as he speaks to property investor and progressive property network host Heidi Mobbs. Heidi reveals the strategies she used to replace her income completely with property investing. Kev and Heidi talk about the benefits of Progressive networking events and Progressive Property courses and Heidi stresses why it’s essential to have goals and a purpose to push you through the challenges of starting your own property business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Heidi needed to be confident she was successful enough in property investing before she left her established role in social housing. She had a lot to lose. Networking and negotiating with investors to give her opportunities is how she first started to build her portfolio. Heidi scaled very quickly, she didn’t leave her job until she had all systems in place including employees and CRM systems. The hardest part of her journey was managing this whilst working full-time. Progressive networking events provide support and opportunities for property investors. Heidi wanted to utilise this and host a networking event rather than doing something independent. Hosting PPN events gave Heidi instant credibility as a property investor. Not all projects go to plan, Heidi has had to give properties back that she has been unable to manage and has lost money too. You will never find great property deals without making some mistakes along the way. BEST MOMENTS "Just give us a go, I’ll prove a point and I’ll turn that property around” “You’ve got to have a big enough why to quit your job and that keeps you going through the bad days” “PP and Progressive are like a family” “The networking boosted my credibility straight away” “I’ve done loads of deals where they kind of didn’t work out the way I hoped them to, but I wouldn’t have got the good ones if I didn’t go through the bad ones” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kev is joined by Mike Chadwick in this episode who has been part of the progressive property network for 10 years! Mike talks to Kev about what his journey has looked like and what he has planned for the future. He also talks about why he became a PPN host and why anyone can do it! KEY TAKEAWAYS Hosting network events gives accountability, you have to show up every month. One he learnt about multiple income streams, Mike couldn’t forget about it and it’s why he always has to do more in his career and life than one job. Mike has started exploring new property strategies in the past couple of years including HMOs and serviced accommodation. Being a host of PPN events gives you exposure to other property investors and can present unique opportunities. Make sure people you are hosting know what you are doing in property, nurture those relationships. BEST MOMENTS "To me it’s not work, I love hosting the event, to me it’s like meeting your friends every month” “Some people can use it as a way to make progress in property” “Because I did training with Progressive, I understood the ins and outs of it” “Make sure you’re telling people what you’re doing” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin and his team share the various tenant issues they have had over the years. They talk about how to defend yourself against bad tenants including why referencing isn’t always enough and reveal the worst tenants they have ever had to deal with. However, let this prepare you, not put you off property as Kevin and his team mostly deal with perfect tenants! KEY TAKEAWAYS Nightmare tenants usually have a honeymoon period before showing their ‘true colours’ Alcohol, drugs and visitors are often the start of many issues. Referencing is key as a first defence against nightmare tenants. Landlords may not always be completely honest about current tenants as they want them to move. If you can find potential tenants on social media that can give you more information to decide on whether to rent to them. Dealing with aggressive tenants is one of the biggest challenges, especially in a HMO situation. You have to deal with bad tenants swiftly or you risk losing the good tenants. Don’t give bad tenants an inch or they will take a mile. You need to be fair but firm. Regular inspections can help you combat issues early. BEST MOMENTS "Most tenants are great but there is always that nightmare tenant that appears every so often” “We use a referencing company, but you will always find a landlord reference doesn’t always reflect the truth” “We have over 300 tenancies and very rarely do we have a bad one” “That’s not really a bad tenant, that’s a tenant with a problem and we as landlords aren’t social workers” “If you don’t deal with the bad tenant quickly the good ones will leave” "Cat fleas are worse than cats" VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

The UK is officially in a recession. In this episode, Kev talks about the news and how it may impact you as a property investor. He discusses what might happen with interest rates, the opportunities and creative techniques available to property investors and why this is the perfect time for you to scale your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are different challenges now to 2008, particularly around inflation. The Bank of England will be feeling pressure to reduce interest rates. A recession can be an opportunity for property investors, there will be a lot of deals out there. There are two types of sellers in a recession, those that want to sell and those that have to. The main form of control you have as an investor is the money you put in today, the rental income you make and how you scale your business. Recessions are great periods to scale your business. Don’t confuse good debt with bad debt. Good debt is serviced by someone else that creates profit for you. There is a looming house price drop but in the long term, the prices will always increase. Property investing is about the longer-term trends. BEST MOMENTS "This is the longest recession ‘not a recession’ I’ve lived through” “People are poorer” “That creates a lot of opportunities for creative property investing” “The techniques you can use in a recession can allow you to scale massively” “There are loads of £1 deals out there!” “We are going to see a house price drop” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Join Kev as he talks to title-splitting expert Rachel Knight. Rachel talks through the implications of the recent announcements by the government that will release positive opportunities for property investors. She also reveals her unique strategy for getting high value from her properties with less work than you may think! KEY TAKEAWAYS Title splitting is the creation of leasehold from freehold. The government are looking at changing the current system of leasehold/freehold to common value. This means the value will be in the lease, no longer the freehold. Think outside of the box, Rachel reconfigured two flats she owned together to make 3 luxury 2-bed apartments. The number 1 advantage to title splitting is you get the capital growth from day 1. This title-splitting strategy can work in any area. You need the right people to understand this title-splitting method, not every solicitor will know how to achieve it and neither will all banks. You can title split at any point, not just when you are buying or selling. If you split before you may want to sell, it means you can sell flats individually to retail buyers, not just to another investor as a ‘job lot’ of flats as many people do. Title splitting is a good way to diversify your portfolio. For example, switching your SA to single let or vice versa. BEST MOMENTS "Title splitting is something that has been around for centuries” “I got a massive value uplift in doing that” “This is out of the box to legally get round things you might consider a blocker to your business” “You want things that are easier to manage as you get older” “You need a solicitor who knows what they’re doing” “Title splitting is a good way of diversifying” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kev is joined by social media expert and property investor Scott Wroe in this episode. They talk about strategies anyone can follow to flip houses as well as the unique ways you can leverage social media in your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Scott’s parents were flipping houses throughout his childhood. He is only 27 but has lived in 30 houses! Scott focuses on the cheapest house on an average street. If you are starting out, don’t buy houses that need any major work, instead focus on things that need updating cosmetically. Look for a mentor to guide you and prevent you from making expensive mistakes. After just two deals, Scott made a 70k profit. As Scott grew, he started using contractors and even established deals with kitchen suppliers via social media. You would be surprised how easily brands want to gift items and products to 'house' accounts, you only need a 30k following to get noticed. BEST MOMENTS "It’s knowing the difference between expensive things and things that are going to cheap [to rectify]” “I think they could be much more successful by attending one of your courses” “I made 40k on the first one, I was 20” “It was so much easier having other people doing the work because then I could be doing other things” “People will literally gift you anything” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin discusses the newest government idea to solve the housing crisis – to evict everyone! Kevin talks about latest government press release around social housing and gives his educated opinions and thoughts on the policies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Those who display antisocial behaviour can face a ban on living in social housing accommodation for 5 years. The government is seeking views from the general public on this proposal. Kev agrees, people shouldn’t be given a social housing home if they are abusive or a criminal. However, he doesn’t think all of the implications have been considered for this policy to work. This kind of policy is to reduce pressure on the waiting lists. What will happen to those who are banned from social housing? The policy also states having to prove connections to the UK and local area. Could this be a discriminatory policy? Those with mental health issues will suffer from this policy. BEST MOMENTS "You won’t be able to get social housing for 5 years” “Play by the rules, pay in and we will support you. If you choose not to this country is no longer going to be a soft touch” “The government knows it doesn’t have enough houses for everybody” “Is this just about stopping illegal immigrants from getting social housing” “Where do they go? Where are you putting them all?” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin joins Jessen James on the Mind Over Money podcast to talk about the power of property investing itself, as well as his own personal journey in business, and the part that mind-set has played in his incredible rise to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so. When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths. Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial. Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones. BEST MOMENTS 'Within 12 months I'd replaced my income' 'I had no choice but to think creatively' 'It's not difficult to raise money.
