FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Rental income is increasing at a staggering rate and there are no signs of it stopping. Listen in to this episode with Kevin to find out what he thinks the future holds for rental prices and what you should be doing right now if you’re a landlord. KEY TAKEAWAYS The cost of living impacts everything, rents have to increase if interest rates are going up and the cost of maintaining a property is increasing too. Rent controls don’t solve anything, landlords just hike up the rent prices upfront before putting tenants in. If you get rid of landlords, who will provide the homes? Kevin can only see rents increasing more in the future, mostly due to supply and demand issues. Landlords are doing their best to help their tenants by making their rents as affordable as possible, in most cases, they aren’t passing all their increases in costs on to the tenant. Now is still a good time to be a landlord, you just need to find the right deals. BEST MOMENTS “The cost-of-living crisis affects everybody” “Rent freezes are a bad idea as it forces those that are looking for homes to have to pay more” “You should not be hoping and wishing to get rid of landlords you should be pushing for more investment because that will mean more stock availability and lower rents” “Many landlord's mortgage repayments have increased by 100%” “The very answer is to provide more accommodation to bring the price down, it’s very simple” 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.

He answers this question and gives his thoughts on the current market for landlords in this quick and straight to the point episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS You always have to balance the cost of work to added value, sometimes things you think might add value won’t be enough to offset the cost. Buy-to-let is not dead, there are people watching this video that will become millionaires in property. You can become wealthy in property investing at any age in any year with the right strategy. The press loves to talk about problems and curate fear which is why they are creating headlines saying property investing, particularly buy-to-let is dead.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode, Kevin wants to share his thoughts on the looming housing crash of 2023 and how you can either take advantage of it or avoid it! KEY TAKEAWAYS House prices have increased hugely in the past 2.5 years. Now they are correcting themselves. In the next few months, Kevin believes the number of first-time buyers will reduce because they follow the media. The amateur investors, those that think you need to time the market will also stop buying but this opens up opportunities for those who are experienced. There is an opportunity right now in the next 12-18 months to pick up properties at significantly lower prices. Saving money right now is a terrible idea, your cash is losing value. The bottom of the market, will drop but not as much as the top of the market. 5-10% -vs- 20-25%. Adding value is the way forward to existing property purchases. Simple economics is that house prices will continue to go up over time, if you are doing long-term investment, property is still a good decision. BEST MOMENTS “There will be more and more stock coming available but less buyers” “People are still going to want to sell, people are going to need to sell” “The top of the market, the most expensive properties are going to drop massively, maybe 20-25%” “In 2025, house prices will be higher than in 2022” 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/BTLReport-POD Should You Buy a Property in 2023? The short answer is yes, but it’s essential that you have the right tools and education to make good decisions on what to and what not to buy. Listen in to Kevin’s top tips for buying property in 2023 and how you can turn this turbulent time into an opportunity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don’t wait and save, you’ll lose value on your cash. The market is so quiet right now, nobody is buying right now which means opportunities for investors. Your buy price is less in 2023 than it was in 2022 and long term, house prices will recover and increase again. Whilst everyone else is panicking about the market, those who think and act simply, will win. BEST MOMENTS “Now is the worst time ever to be saving” “In 2023 there is tumbleweed on estate agents row” “Biggest crash in 2008…prices are higher now than they were then” 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 Mark in this episode where he unveils his personal predictions for the property market in 2023 including why property prices are set to drop 30-40%! KEY TAKEAWAYS Inflation is now 10% and mortgage rates have gone up considerably resulting in property prices dropping around 10-15% already. The reverse is happening in the rental market as fewer people are buying and supply is too low. Mark doesn’t believe the bank of England will go to 5% inflation however, we won’t be seeing the historically low rates we have had over the past decade. Wages are now starting to increase in line with inflation. Properties will continue to fall in 2023, potentially in real terms a 40% drop in house prices. The big national builders are already building less. There will be fewer houses built in 2023. BEST MOMENTS “Clearly it’s not been an easy ride for lots of businesses” “We’re on course for a 30-40% drop in real house prices” “They printed too much money” “The national house builders are cutting back” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD This is a Q&A episode from Kev, giving the best answers to his most common questions and queries over the past few weeks, including about rising rents, issues with tenants as well as the importance of landlords for housing the population. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every deal or purchase Kev and his team are making they are carefully taking into account EPC ratings, to future-proof their investments. You will save money, get a better mortgage and also receive higher rent. Only around 1% of tenants become an issue. It’s important to keep issues in proportion and context when they arise. It’s not landlords that are forcing up rents, it’s government laws and regulations. There’s not enough property stock, the country is building enough or renovating enough. Reducing landlords actually increases housing problems, it would mean even less supply of homes. BEST MOMENTS “Do the work to get it up to a C-rating EPC now, it will save you money in the long term and give you the best mortgage deals” “Know the outcomes before you do the deal” “The government are forcing up rents, not landlords” “If there’s more stock available, house prices will come down and rents will come down” 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/BTLReport-POD After arguably the most turbulent and difficult times in the property market, Kev wants to share his challenges, his wins, and reflect on the past year and offer tips on what you can do in the coming months too. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kev has done more deals in the past 12 months than any other year! Take some time over Christmas and plan your thoughts and business model for the next year. Think about what methods and funds you will need to use and set your goals. Thorough research is as important as ever, do viewings and ask all the questions. Something that didn’t look as good a deal on paper might surprise you. You will waste time, but if you don’t put in time when things don’t work out, you won’t get as many wins for the times when things do. Hire people who are already in jobs. The best people in the business will always already have employment. There are many schemes across the country to improve D/E rated EPC properties. Look in your local area as it may make help you with existing tenanted properties. Look at future planning in your areas, if you buy in places in line of regeneration/--- then you could get great deals in those areas now before they are improved. Mortgage rates are significantly higher than they were a few months ago but really this is the market correcting itself, 3% isn’t historically that high. This could present some opportunities for people who can’t afford the higher rates. Your tenants are your customers. They allow you to run your business and pay you and your staff wages. 98% of tenants are great. Budget for everything and then if you have bad tenants that don’t pay on time or damage your property then you can afford to cover it. Plan for rent arrears with rent guarantee insurance. BEST MOMENTS “As I’ve learnt a lot in the last few months and managed to come through to the other side with a lot more resilience” “Pretty much 97% of our cash is back out of the deals and available to do more deals next year” “Be resilient, be ready and go for everything you absolutely can” “The whole country is panicking about interest rates right now” “I don’t see them as my tenants I see them as my customers” 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.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Lisa O’Reilly, previously a chartered accountant, joins Kev in this episode to talk about her journey into property investing, particularly in the Irish market. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lisa followed her sister’s footsteps into the world of accountancy but the opportunity came to purchase an investment property and after a stressful time at work, she decided she wanted to live a different life and go into property investing full-time. It doesn’t matter what job you are in or what background you have, anyone can become a property investor. Previously Lisa thought that you needed to follow a set path to become successful in life but this has been debunked by meeting and seeing the success people have in property investing. Lisa found Progressive after doing some online training with Simon Zutshi (Property Magic Podcast) realising she needed Kev’s expertise to build on her existing knowledge. She attended MSOPI and began using creative property techniques to build her Irish property portfolio, including lease options and raising investor finance. There is good debt and bad debt, using debt to acquire an asset that will continually generate income for you, such as property, is good debt. Do your homework, numbers do not lie. Lisa believes this is the first rule of property investing. BEST MOMENTS “I’m an accountant I should know this stuff, yet I was about to sell the only asset I had” “The biggest thing, is you have to take action” “You’re providing a solution that can beat inflation” "Good debt is the debt you use to acquire an asset that will continually generate income" 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 Sophia built her initial property portfolio by sourcing properties on behalf of her previous accountancy clients as investors. She would then charge them a sourcing fee and then a management fee. After 6 years, Sophia was finding the business growth difficult to manage, so she recruited her daughter Danica. They found progressive in 2020 and bought Kevin’s online No Money Down course. This led to them joining Kevin’s Mastermind and they haven’t looked back since. Since doing the course, Sophia and Danica have started to use other people's money to buy their own properties as well as doing some rent2rent deals and serviced accommodation, expanding on what they were previously doing. There are a lot of opportunities in the market right now. There’s not a lack of money like many believe. Buying at the lower end of the market isn’t the only way to make money. If you buy in more expensive areas, there are a lot of opportunities to add high value. BEST MOMENTS “Something just said to me, go for it” “The right time was yesterday, now is a great time to get into property, there is so much coming onto the market” “Expensive areas are where you can actually make a lot more money because you can add a lot more value” "There's a benefit to the tenant and the landlord" 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.

In today's episode Kevin discusses why not to listen to those advising to steer clear of London investments, why the ‘tenant buyer’ strategy is the most hands free of them all and how to sort the good builders from the bad. KEY TAKEAWAYS Over the last few months, people have started the question if it is wise to invest in London, given the way of the world. That is because the masses are questioning London. Observe the masses, and do the opposite. Interest rates are going to drop to negative, so there has probably never been a better time in history to raise money to help invest in properties. Many people would consider single lets the most ‘hands free’ strategy. However with single lets you often have the management, the maintenance, the voids and the inspections. With a tenant buyer, it is completely hands free strategy. You don’t need a letting agent or a maintenance team and you can do it remotely as it is completely outsourced to the tenant buyer. If you're setting up a limited company, you should be putting a personal loan into that company. When running a limited company you need to ensure you get a property tax accountant . Everything from mobile phones to office supplies can be put through the company as company property rather than putting it through your own name. If you ring a builder up and he says he can come tomorrow, they’re likely a bad builder. The good builders are always busy. The moment you get a property agreed, you need to find a builder. You will get the keys anywhere between 4-8 weeks after the agreement, leaving it until then to find a good builder will cost you. You need two years of company accounts in order to qualify for mortgages in your company name. You can start by doing rent to rent and lease options in order to build up your accounts. Many people want to quit their jobs to become property investors. The reality is, you do not need to quit your job.Managing your time is a better step than quitting your job. You have got plenty of time to do property in your spare time, if you are smarter with your free time. Aim to quit your job later but first you should build up cash flow and passive income. If you are just starting out and do not have the funds or knowledge to invest in property yet, it is a good idea to go and work for an investor and offer to work for free. Find the big player in your area and ask how you can help them. They will give you some work to do and you will learn from their expertise. BEST MOMENTS “Raising money has never been easier” “You don’t find it difficult to raise money, you find it difficult to try, you find it difficult to ask.” “Quitting your job is not the route to success.” “If you give, you will receive.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Selena talks about her property investment journey, to potentially inspire you to either get started yourself or remotivate you to keep going. KEY TAKEAWAYS Previous to property investing Selena was working in the NHS for 22 years. After being very ill and spending 6 months in the hospital, Selena knew that she needed to make some changes in her life. Selena started to attend courses including Progressive Property Multiple Streams of Income and No Money Down and discovered that property was to be her next passion. Most of Selena’s experience has been good but she has had some difficulties, including builders stealing money. It's important to recognise that property investing isn't ever straightforward or easy. There are of course bad landlords, but Selena doesn’t believe they are the majority, most landlords want to help people. If you’re winning to learn, especially from other people, Selena believes anyone can be successful in property.

They discuss how their property journey started, what is has evolved into now and what they have learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lucy and Steph were both serving in the military when three years ago they decided to go into a property business together. They started to learn as much as they could about property, starting with free courses and books including Property Investing Secrets by Progressive founders Rob and Mark. They then started doing paid education, which is when they attended Progressive’s Multiple Streams of Income Course and it led to them buying their first buy-to-let properties, serviced accommodation and rent-to-rent properties. Lucy and Steph scaled very quickly, potentially too fast as it meant they didn’t reflect on some of their mistakes quickly enough. Lucy has been able to leave the military and focus on property full time, the long-term plan will also be Steph to leave too. As a landlord, rent to rent has a few significant benefits, for Lucy it was getting a good price whilst having her properties looked after in a hands-off way.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin has over 20 years of experience in property investing and his portfolio is now worth in excess of £10million. But it wasn’t always this way, the first 10 years of Kevin’s property journey wasn’t easy, and he ended up in a significant amount of debt. But he then found Progressive Property training and invested in his education, turning his business around. Listen in to this episode to learn about the truth in building a large property portfolio, learning from both the mistakes of Kevin’s past and the wins he has found in the last decade, particularly around staff. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can’t build a large portfolio all on your own. You need to work with a team. Once Kevin managed to get himself out of debt he then focused on building his portfolio enough for it to be his full-time venture. Staff produce a variety of challenges and this only grows the more you scale. Ensure you pay your staff what they are worth, this works both ways, ensure you don’t overpay as this can become difficult to control. At the beginning of your journey look at remote staff to hire, such as virtual assistants, to help you scale before committing too much to in-house staff. Experienced people who don’t need full-time hours but can be flexible can be great staff to hire before starting with full-time staff.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin wants to talk about what is happening in the property market right now and use his decades of experience in creative property techniques to answer the question that keeps being asked, should you rent or buy? KEY TAKEAWAYS Property values have risen well above the cost of affordability for many. Interest rates are going to have to push prices down now, people can’t afford to pay the mortgage rates that will be available. 05’06’07 was very similar to the past three years, it was a boom followed by a drop, this is what Kev thinks will happen next. You can still buy, but you won’t be able to time the market this is for amateurs. Property investing is a long game, if you can afford to buy now then you should. If people can’t afford to own property at today’s rates, then they don’t have a robust business. More millionaires are made when the property market goes down, there are opportunities to be had everywhere. The banks are confident that the rates will be coming down again or they wouldn’t be offering low rates on fixed mortgages. BEST MOMENTS “There’s a lot of people scared out there, a lot of people that don’t know what they should do” “There will be mass repossession, this is my prediction” “The amateur is trying to time the market” “You can make money when the markets going up, you can make money when the markets going down” “If you’re one of my tenants, you should be buying!” 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/BTLReport-POD Laura Hamilton is best known for being the host of a place in the sun as well as appearing on the likes of dancing on ice and cowboy builders! She joins Kevin to talk about her property investing journey, from her very first buy-to-let at just age 19 to the development she is on now as well as how she got into television. KEY TAKEAWAYS Based on her own experience, Laure believes the property market is going to level out over the next coming months, down to interest rates but also due to the cycle that property goes in. It’s a seller’s market abroad at all levels. If you find a good solicitor, you can purchase properties in Spain and other places in Sterling, this can be a way to negotiate a property's price with your seller. Great time management and knowing how to prioritise is how Laura keeps her busy schedule and life organised. She also couldn’t live without her phone, it’s how she keeps on top of everything including to-do lists via her notes app. The school system doesn’t teach enough about financial education. Laura has got her children their own ‘spending cards’ and is always making them aware of the cost of things. The speed of the buying process abroad, such as Spain is a lot quicker than in the UK. It frequently takes less than a month. Spain has a deposit system in property buying, that shows both the buyer and vendor that they are serious about buying. It deters any ‘gazumping’. Laura is always very hands-on in her projects, she isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty and enjoys being part of the process. BEST MOMENTS “It had to level out, it is levelling out now, it might well take a slight dip” “Since the pandemic and Brexit the buying rate [abroad] has increased” “It’s a skill to be able to multitask and it’s something I am able to do, my brain is frantic and a lot of entrepreneurs would say they don’t switch off easily” “We all need to be mindful of how much things are costing” “I’m trying to make my house as sustainable as possible” 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.

He also talks about the positive impact the Progressive property courses and community has had on his investment journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Chris started by doing a couple of ‘flips’ without realising at the time they were flips. His first was his grandparents house where he lived in the property whilst renovating before selling. After the breakdown of his marriage, Chris put property on the back burner but he still had tough decisions to be made, resultin gin him choosing to sell his family home and keep his property portfolio. He then signed up for progressive’s MSOPI and by the end of the event he had signed up for two additional courses. Networking with other investors and people in the Progressive Property community has been invaluable to Chris. If you’re looking for a strategy, tenant-buyer is a good choice. This is an option Chris used when he wanted to help someone out but when he also had a cashflow problem. If you are struggling in your property journey then Chris says to simple ask those around you and consider all your options carefully. There is usually a solution to your problem.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin is joined by Stephen Kempt, who has spent the past 3 ½ years building up a property portfolio in single lets, buy-to-lets and HMOs. Listen in to hear how you can build a property portfolio from scratch in the current climate. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pre-property Stephen says he was just like any ‘normal’ person. Generally thinking about pensions but having two holidays a year and living with his partner working full time. Stephen and his partner bought their first buy to let for pension purposes but they soon discovered that this wouldn’t be enough financially. The first step to building their portfolio was to gain property education. The key to Stephen scaling so quickly was by finding outside investment. It would have taken them much longer to build their portfolio relying on just their income. Stephen admits property investing is hard but it’s about choosing your hard. Either work full time until your late 60s or work hard now so you can have an easier life in years to come. Property isn’t a get-rich scheme but you will make wealth, it just takes time. BEST MOMENTS “We believe education and mindset are the foundation for everything” “Start small, start grassroots, it starts at home but certainly ripples outwards from there” “Be consistent, show up and be authentic” “You’ve got to work hard in order to not work hard” “You need to find that thing that stops you quitting” 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/BTLReport-POD Richard Stone has spent most of his life in construction but in the last few years, he decided to start to build his property portfolio. He joins Kevin to talk about his property journey and what he has learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS It was after beginning his property journey that Richard realised he needed training and education in Property. This is when he started attending Progressive Property courses, including Progressive's flagship even MSOPI, to learn how he could best utilise his knowledge and skillset. It all starts with the client and although Richard has tons of hands-on construction experience, he didn’t know how to find and retain clients and raise money. This is what he learnt with Progressive. You don’t need your own money to get started on serviced accommodation, you just need to learn how to raise capital. Focus on the feedback you get in the right places, not all advice is good advice. Your clients will tell you if you are doing the right things. There are endless opportunities in the world if you have the right mindset. Now is always the right time to buy property. Being around the right people on your property investing journey is essential. To help guide you but also to support you. BEST MOMENTS “ A lot of it isn’t skillset, it’s mindset” “There’s a difference between what you think is right and what’s actually right” “I reignited my passion for education” “Your own money actually holds you back” “Poor people get their advice from family, friends and neighbours, wealthy people get it from people who have done it before them” “You don’t know what you don’t know” 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 energy price crisis is going to change the world of investing forever. Listen in to this episode with Kevin as he explores why this is but also why there is likely to be more opportunities than ever. Kevin also talks about his recent issues with mould, what corrections and changes are likely coming in the property market, what he believes Liz Truss’ policies will be in the coming months and more in an Ask Me Anything. KEY TAKEAWAYS The billions printed in the pandemic are why we are in the situation we are now. The money Liz Truss is printing now will have minimal impact, both negative and positive. Interest rates are rising but they are still historically low. The cost of money is only relevant is you are paying more than you are making. If your property is already making a profit, don’t worry about if the government brings in rent freezes particularly if you are on a fixed rate mortgage. The coming years are going to create the most wealth-generating opportunities seen in years. You need to focus on growth and investing in your mindset and knowledge. You could start off in property and go straight into serviced accommodation but it’s worth remembering this isn’t helping solve any housing issues the country is currently facing. Time, knowledge and money are what you need for buy to let, however you don’t need all three to get started. There are lots of creative ways you can raise finance if you have time and knowledge for example. When there is a monetary crisis people obviously look to save money, This is why you typically start to see the lower end of the market rise in demand. Always be open-minded to opportunities and deals in property. BEST MOMENTS “ 180 billion will do nothing to fix this country” “Interest rates now are now high” “The government does not have enough housing stock” “Money is not necessarily the issue for most people, people will still want to buy those properties but will there be a correction in the market?” “There’s a lot of hatred out there for landlords” “The most important part of the transaction is the person selling the house” “When you go out there looking for deals, suddenly you realise they are everywhere” 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 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.

Kevin has been investing in property for 18 years, has built up a multi-million pound business and uses creative property investment strategies. In this episode, Kevin reacts to a recording of Judge Rinder on Good Morning Britain about landlords. Kevin gives his take and insight on this video and gives his thoughts on how we can actually tackle the Housing Crisis in the UK. KEY TAKEAWAYS Yes, there are rogue landlords out there. But Kevin, his team and the landlords Progressive Property train are not part of them. In fact, they invest in run-down, sub-standard properties and make them better for future tenants of theirs as well as bringing properties back into use. Section 21 can get abused by some landlords. But Kevin has never done this, he wants his tenants to treat the property as their home. We have to think about the other side, section 21 is there for bad tenants, for the ones who don’t look after the property, who don’t pay on time. There are also many landlords out there who aren’t investors, that just have one property-when that tenant doesn’t pay or creates expensive repairs it can leave them in financial ruin. There is a lot of unnecessary red tape and it actually becomes an obstacle for tenants and landlords when there are issues to be solved. Unfortunately there are many tenants that don’t look after a rental property in the same way they would if they owned it. This is especially demonstrated when it comes to preventing damp. Not opening windows, not wiping down the shower and drying clothes incorrectly can cause damp issues, simple things that could be avoided. The types of property Kevin buys/invests in aren’t properties that would appeal to first time buyers. He isn’t creating competition for them as they wouldn’t purchase what he does, without landlords like him they simply wouldn’t be bought. Everything has to be in balance. There needs to be robust legislation that supports both landlords and tenants. To solve the housing crisis the country needs to become creative with solutions, the government, councils and landlords need to work together:-We need better accommodation to solve the housing crisis. There are plenty of buildings out there, it’s about bringing them back into use and to a good enough standard. The council could work with landlords to bring these back into use.-We need a more streamlined way of the government/councils paying landlords when tenants cannot. Universal credit has made this much harder. Capping rents would only harm tenants in the long run. Proper landlords reinvest their money back into the property creating a higher standard of living accommodation. BEST MOMENTS “Don’t tar every landlord with the same brush, don’t make every landlord a rogue landlord, because not every landlord is” “Maybe he’s got a hidden agenda” “They create damp in the properties” “Everything has got to have balance” “The private investors are the ones that can solve this problem” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In this week’s episode, Kevin talks about all things auctions. Listen to Kevin talk about how you can still make money with auctions, what to look out for and how you can avid expensive mistakes. Discover how tens of thousands of ordinary brits are quietly getting rich with minimum investment!bit.ly/Podcast-MSOPI KEY TAKEAWAYS Making good money on auctions is all about knowledge and education. You need to have a good overall understanding of property investing and be educated around what to look for. Relationships are important to make deals with estate agents. With auctions, there’s no relationship needed, in this sense it’s easier and requires less work. With auctions, you know what other people were willing to pay. As long as you are educated it’s then easy to see if you have offered the right price or not. There’s 200+ auction houses around the country, just because someone has been to one and it wasn’t good or was expensive that doesn’t mean there aren’t deals to be had in other places. Keep things financial, don’t let emotions have an influence over your price and use your knowledge to get great deals. Kevin never makes early bids. He waits until people stop bidding as much and then offers. Sometimes he even offers post-auction if there have been no bids. If you can read the room properly then you can offer directly with the owner and use it not selling at auction as leverage. BEST MOMENTS “Auctions are phenomenal now” “With right move it’s already too late” “If you bid too early you’re adding fuel to the fire' VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.ukhttps://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOSTKevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Kevin McDonnell talks us through the Dos and Don’ts of successful networking. Networking events can be daunting and can be unsuccessful and time-consuming if you don’t make that unforgettable first impression! Tune in today to find out how you can grow your network, make a lasting impression, attract JV partners and property investors and ensure that every networking event is a success! KEY TAKEAWAYS Where Can You Network? There are many places you can go to network. Progressive property run about 40 property networking events all over the country, meaning it is likely there will be a PPN event near you. However, it is not only about networking events, but it is also a great idea to attend business networking events both locally and in different parts of the country. Have in your networking plan, to attend other types of events as well as events in other locations around the UK and the rest of the world that can help build your power team. What To Do At Networking Events? Have a clear plan before you attend, don’t just attend a networking event to listen to guest speakers. You should be bringing business cards to the events, you need to have a way that you can capture people's attention. As well as handing out your business cards, make sure you collect other people's contact details. You want to be listening to others, more than you are speaking about yourself. Learn a little bit about people, keeping your eyes and ears open to find the person who is looking to invest. If you do get the chance to tell people a little bit about yourself, keep it to a minimum and have what's called an ‘Elevator Pitch’, practice this at home before you attend. Focus your pitch on the features and benefits of working with you. Make a list of people you need to help fulfill your power team, and go to the networking events to specifically source these people. -A key part of attending networking events is the number of people you speak to. You don’t need to spend the entire event talking to just one or two people, you will be missing out on speaking to the majority of people at the event. The main goal of each networking event you attend should be to collect as many people’s contact details as possible. Dress well when you attend a networking event. Don’t give people the opportunity to have a negative impression of you based on the way that you present yourself. Give people the opportunity to talk about themselves, only speak about yourself if you’re asked. Ask them, how you can help them and what they’re looking for that can be mutually beneficial. Do not try to sell them things within the first few moments of meeting them. BEST MOMENTS “If you really want to scale your networking business, if you want to do a lot of property deals, then you’re going to need the help of other people” “A wise person once said, ‘you’ve got two ears and one mouth, you should move them in the proportion” “People want to work with people that they know, like and trust” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Money-Down-Property-Investing/dp/1909846767 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8TZdualhcw https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

They join Kevin in this episode to talk about the 200+ property deals they have achieved over the past 3 years. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul and Ben had virtually no experience in property, before attending courses with Progressive Property and gaining an incredible network. Liverpool and Manchester is where Paul and Ben’s property portfolio is based. The duos experience in business meant they looked at the deal packaging process as a ‘conveyor belt’ so they had services to offer each step of the way, from start to finish. Systems are a worthy investment; it allows your property business to scale quicker. You can’t do 96 deals a year on just pen and paper. The education and support network Paul and Ben have gained from Progressive Property has had an immeasurable positive impact on their property journey. Businesses are evolving all the time, once you solve one problem you will find another one. But if you build a good support network around you and embrace the challenge you will thrive. BEST MOMENTS “223 deals in 3 years!” “You can do property investing no matter how long you have been doing another career, no matter where your starting point is you can get started and begin a property business” “It all came down to systems and people” “Time is the most important element, and you can’t replace that” “Build your parachute before you jump out of the plane” 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.

Last time he was on the podcast he was still working full time and it was mid-pandemic. Listen in to hear what Samuel has been up to the past 12 months and what he has managed to achieve. KEY TAKEAWAYS In just 9 months, Samuel and his wife have managed to build 700k in equity in their property investments. Samuel’s strategy is to buy ex local authority properties and then push up the value by renovating them, extending them and turning them into HMO’s. Students are Samuel’s main market, he finds his properties are really popular because of the finish he puts on them and the great branding he has created. The benefits of the student market is the cashflow. Students move in at the same time each year and look for rooms for the following year at the same time too. So for 21 months of the year, you know where you are with your rooms. There are some small disadvantages to students, because they are usually young, they may call more often because they don’t know how to change a lightbulb and similar small maintenance issues. Samuel is able to rent his houses out for the entire year because they are in such high demand. He is proud of the high standard he offers and would happily live in them himself! You pay zero council tax on a student property and the student pay ‘uni homes’ for all their bills. All Samuel has to collect is his rent. The art of systemisation has helped Samuel with his HMO portfolio. He has built robust systems to ensure he is up to date with all regulations and maintenance. BEST MOMENTS “The brand is really important” “All our houses are immaculate, I’d live in them, I feel proud” “If you do a good product, people will pay for it” “It’s as close to the single-let and forget but with higher cash flow” 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/BTLReport-POD Kevin is joined by Malcolm Ridley in this episode to talk all about his property investment journey. Malcolm didn't start his property journey until later in life but argues, and proves, that it's all about mindset, age truly is just a number. Listen in now to be inspired to start or scale your property investment strategy! KEY TAKEAWAYS Malcolm was working for network rail as a commercial manager. It involved 60 hour+ working weeks and was what he describes as a ‘grey existence’. Becoming an accidental landlord is how Malcolm started his property journey. Shortly after this he also bought a property for his daughter to live in after realising how much she would be paying in rent in Leeds. Several years later, after his son had also lived in the house he bought in Leeds, Malcolm and his son bought a house at auction and his property investing started to expand. Malcolm learnt a few lessons from this auction property, including to not try and do all the work on a house yourself and why buying the worst house on a good street is a good strategy. After the auction property, Malcolm realised luck had been on his side as he learnt a few things that could have spelled disaster for him and his son. This is when he decided property education was something he needed to invest in next. Having a mentor helped Malcolm build his confidence in property and business as well as taught him how to overcome many barriers. Building relationships and rapport with agents has been part of Malcolm’s property strategy and helped him with his acquisitions. If your aim is to make capital, Malcolm believes there is money to be made in ‘flips’ in London. If it is cashflow you are after, then your best bet is probably to invest in the north of England. Property works in all locations; you might just not be applying the right strategy or technique. Joint venturing is a great way to start your property investing journey. You can rely on their expertise and time whilst still maintaining your job. Property is a people business. Malcolm found that by being fair with his pricing he got offered more properties further down the line. He played the long game by considering the true value of the property and not ‘squeezing’ the vendor at each deal. Malcolm didn’t start properly property investing until he was 61, he says all you need is the right mindset, age doesn’t matter. BEST MOMENTS “Don’t do all the work yourself” “I realised that what we needed was education, so I decided to invest in education” “Once you’ve bought one and they [estate agents] know you’re serious they are interested in presenting more opportunities to you” “In London you can probably make money on flips, but you have to buy carefully” “That’s one of the great things about property, collaboration” “It’s never ever too late to invest in property” 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/BTLReport-POD Kevin is out on the road, viewing his properties so wanted to do a ‘day in the life of’ whilst answering your questions! KEY TAKEAWAYS Being in your 50’s is definitely not too late to get into property investing. It takes less time than you think to make just one deal, just start now. Don’t take a bridging loan on a property if you don’t have an exit strategy. You have to start with the end in mind. Joint venture with someone to build up credit. Use your time to benefit them but utilise their credit. How can you find your first investment property? Go direct to vendor, tell everyone you know that you are looking to get into property and market yourself. Trying to find good people in this recruitment climate is difficult at the moment so try and put this first and as a priority when you are scaling. When you buy a property, you should be adding value and creatively making deals. This protects you against the market. There’s no failproof way to know if your client is good or bad, you can do all the checks but this still doesn’t completely protect you. Your plan for property business should be how to create money from the houses you buy and to hold them long term. BEST MOMENTS “You can replace your income in 6-12 months” “Don’t be emotional, take a financial decision” “Educate yourself on how to find these deals” “It’s not that you can’t find the deal, it’s just that you don’t know what you’re looking for” 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.

Jason and Blondine join Kevin today to talk all about their own journey into London Property. They discuss what drove them to starting their property journey, why working together as a team has been important and how attending various Progressive Property courses has helped them find success. FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD KEY TAKEAWAYS Individually Jason and Blondine started in property separately. But 18 months ago they met at a Progressive Property event and led to them making their first deal together. Working together has helped Jason and Blondine because they have different skillsets, they play to one another’s strengths. Rent2Rent has been important to Jason and Blondine’s growth because there is less risk involved. It’s a strategy that if you get the right balance and demand you can grow quickly and effectively. It’s important to follow the process in property, don’t sit back or give up if you don’t find instant success. It takes time, effort and practice. Jason and Blondine attribute their success to the knowledge, support and the community that have found with Progressive Property. Training, support and confidence is the key to finding success in property. Training and courses are invaluable, you learn from others mistakes as well as become inspired. BEST MOMENTS “[Progressive] completely changed my outlook on property with creative ways of dealing with properties, completely changing my mindset” “The key is not to find someone just like you…find someone who brings a skillset you don’t necessarily have” “We all have the same passion, the same drive” 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 talks all about whether it is right to rent your own property or buy your own home. He also warns against the advice of so-called American gurus and discusses the pros and cons to owning your own home. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s important to do your own due diligence in your country and market. In the UK buying your own home is almost always the best option. If you are in the position to buy your own home then you should do it! There’s much more stability in owning your own home. Owning your own home means you are earning money whilst you simply live in your house. One of the few things that is inflation-proof right now is housing, inflation pays your mortgage whilst the value of cash depletes. When you rent, the landlord gets all the benefits, not you. BEST MOMENTS “This is a topic that gets a lot of heated debate across the internet” “If you buy your own home you have security” “Safety nets can be really bad for your hustle, for your desire and ability to go out there and make things happen” 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.

After learning more with Progressive they are now entering the commercial conversions market too. Listen in to hear all about Chloe’s journey to becoming a property investor full time and learn some great tips and ideas for how you can start your property journey with Progressive too! KEY TAKEAWAYS Chloe was in her early 20s when she decided to invest in a buy to let, there was no strategy this was just something to help her when she retired one day. It was 2019 when Chloe and her partner had some changes in their lives. It led them to look at property and this is how they found Progressive Property and worked to getting into property as a full time venture. Chloe has attended many Progressive Property courses to build her property portfoli including MSOPI, No Money Down and Commercial Conversions. The education has definitely fast-tracked her on her property journey and helped her avoid some costly mistakes. Making relationships and perseverance are two of the biggest skills Chloe has had to master to progress and sustain her property career. Having a peer group and a mentor is reassuring and supportive, it has helped Chloe achieve her goals. Communication is the most important thing in any partnership. Being in business with each other as well as a romantic relationship, clear communication is integral as well as splitting responsibilities. BEST MOMENTS “That four-day course pretty much summarised everything we had done in an 18-month period” “It would have sped the process up and it would have saved on any costly mistakes” “Have a bit on introspection and know a bit about yourself and what you really want and what is holding you back too” 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.

He saw an opportunity to join a property course for free to learn about investing and this is what got him interested. It was June 2019 when Muzzy found Progressive. He did the MSOPI course first which led to him completing the Rent2Rent course and mastermind. It’s essential to have a cashflow strategy when getting into property investing. It’s important to gain and understanding of why you want to get into property and what it is you want to achieve. No money down felt impossible to Muzzy before he learnt about how to make it happen, now it feels so simple. Until Muzzy undertook Progressive training, he thought there was only one way to own property. The courses opened his eyes and inspired him to build his own property empire. Life has changed considerably for Muzzy and his family. It has allowed not only him to follow his passion but his wife too. The knowledge Muzzy learnt from Progressive was essential. Even now he recognises that he wouldn’t have been able to have the success he has had by going it alone. BEST MOMENTS “I was still slightly sceptic until I bought my own property with none of my own money” “You can take that problem away, generate cash for yourself and help someone else [too]” “I didn’t think it would happen this quickly” “I don’t need to know everything I just need to know the people that know” 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.

Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS Nick was working a job in manufacturing when he read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, this was the catalyst that made him decide he needed to earn more money and led him to starting his property journey. He began looking at free property content in places like YouTube and attending free events in London. This is how he decided that the UK property market was for him. Nick didn’t have cash for a deposit so after more research started looking at rent2rent strategies. He started off with Serviced Accommodation but then moved into HMO’s after attending the Progressive Rent2Rent online course. Once live events started up again, Nick travelled down to Peterborough to attend the Progressive No Money Down Event. He got so much value from this course that he then signed up to the mastermind and it has helped him accelerate his property journey. When using the rent to rent strategy, it’s a myth that you need lots of landlords and agents. Often you just need one and they will feed you the best deals. Nick never realised how important networking was until he found Progressive. He has found the progressive community incredibly valuable and it has helped him so much along the way including securing many of his deals.

Join him in this Q&A where he answers many property questions frankly and informatively. Topics discussed include the role of landlords in the property market in 2022, what type of mortgage you should be getting and why your property knowledge is so much more important than what you have in the bank. Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS You don’t always need to have a 25 year repayment mortgage. With investment properties you can simply have interest only mortgages. This keeps the mortgage payment lower. It’s worth spending a bit more on the finish of a refurb in order to charge higher rent. You can also join LNPG to get great savings on your refurbishment costs. Simply investing all your life savings into a property isn’t a property strategy. Building a portfolio is all about your plan. You don’t even need your own cash to start in the property game, it’s about having the right knowledge to get you started. Buy to let landlords are not stopping other people buying homes and they have not caused inflation. No matter what, you need to be doing the fundamentals of buy to let: buy, refurbish, let, refinance. BEST MOMENTS “Repayment mortgages for your home, but buy to let homes: interest only mortgages!” “There will always be something stopping you getting ready…it’s about taking action, to take the steps” “Our job as property investors is to always focus on the opportunities that come out of other people’s problems” “Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant there’s people with integrity and there’s people without integrity” 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.

You are buying something that might go up, or down in value. You’re also purchasing something that might not even get built, there is no real guarantee, and whilst you are waiting for the build to be complete you are not making any money from the property. Purchase property in an area you are familiar with that can make you money instantly and whereby you are familiar with the tax and property laws. Doing All Your Own Refurbs- This takes up far too much time which can stop you from looking for more property investment deals. The standard of work was also not up to the standards of professional tradesmen, meaning a few years later the poor workmanship will have to be redone. Tying to do those refurbs yourself, will cost you more time and more money. Waiting Too Long Before Quitting Your Job- Just commit and get out, because quitting your job will allow you to focus more on property and your results will have scaled massively once leaving your job, allowing the freedom and mind space to really focus on scaling your property business. Waiting Too Long To Hire Staff- Where in your business can you add income? Where can you put money into your business? Things such as speaking to joint venture partners, people who want to invest money into your business, negotiating property purchases or contracts on rent to rents with homeowners, that is where your focus should be. Outsource all the other tasks to staff such as property management, speaking to the tenant, maintenance inspections, all of the tasks that are time-consuming but don’t generate income but rather take money from the business. Not Having A Clear System To Check Staff’s Work- Hiring any staff comes with an element of trust, and sometimes in fast-growing businesses you can end up leaving staff to get on with their job whilst your focus is on other things. This could potentially result in foul play from your staff as they feel like they are able to get away with things easier as they are not being monitored. Create a system whereby this is not possible. Check your properties out, check your own staff out and make sure that what’s being said is the reality. Not Hiring A Project Manager- A project manager will hire the entire refurb team to avoid any miscommunications between different tradespeople. If possible, make somebody you know or are familiar with and that you trust your project manager who can get the job delivered on time. Them being responsible for the project means that there's no way there can be any excuses or tension between the rest of the team.

Discover how to spot a strong rental demand, where you can add value and what investments are best for instant cashflow. Join the Progressive Property Community Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS Strong rental demand. You should not invest unless you’re sure that you can tenant that property. Research the demographic, demand, value and type of property that rents well in your chosen investment area online and in-person and even survey potential tenants and competition to discover your ideal investment. Cashflow. You need to invest in property that pays a positive cashflow today. Calculate your rental income (turnover) minus your expenses = profit/cashflow. Cashflow will also help to protect you from a recession negatively affecting house prices. Can you add value? Making money is about adding value to a property. Don’t gamble with a property that cannot be improved. Always research the footprint of the property for opportunities to add value. Capital growth potential vs stable property prices. When prices are stable and growth is miserable you will more accurately be able to predict future capital growth potential for that property on that street. Local Economy. Monitor the local economy and understand weather companies will be investing in the area and creating jobs and wealth which will lead to increased rental demand and capital gains. Make your money when you buy. Purchase at the right price, add value and bank future profits. Property Management. Always purchase in an area with good management companies and never manage your investments yourself so that you can focus on finding more deals to increase your wealth. BEST MOMENTS“View other properties to get a good idea of what rental properties should look like”“Property is a business that needs to create you an income today”“If you build up cashflow generating assets, you can replace your income and cover your cost of living”“Equity is vanity, cashflow is sanity”“You cannot add value to new build properties”“Force the value of your property to increase wealth”“Add value and recycle your investment back out by leveraging the banks money” VALUABLE RESOURCES Rob Moore - MONEY ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS The quickest returns on an active £10,000 property investment will be when you combine your capital with effort and hard work and create a business. eCommerce is a great opportunity for investment, it’s a growing market with huge potential for scale. Platforms such as Shopify and Amazon can help you reach huge audiences quickly. If you’re passively investing £10,000 the safest options are most ISA’s or a portfolio of tracker funds that invest in the FTSE or American spread. Platforms such as Vanguard and Hargreaves Landsdown are recommended to use. The best property businesses to start for returns are Rent2Rent, Serviced Accommodation or Deal Packaging, these property strategies will give you a fast cashflow each month and ability to get a return on your investment so that you can scale your empire. However, a joint-venture with other investors is also a great way of pooling your capital together for larger projects with bigger returns. One of the better longer-term passive investments to make is in classic cars and watches. If you do your due-diligence using sites such as Glenmarch you can track the price of classic cars and their average price sold. With the right research on the right premium brands, these investments will increase in value year on year and you will see a positive return.

Covid meant they had to reinvent themselves, they started again and were doing ok but it was a wake-up call that he needed alternative means of creating income. Greg had always wanted to be in property investing and the difficulties throughout the pandemic combined with an inspiring rent-to-rent strategy YouTube Video were the catalysts to get him started. Greg’s wife bought him a ticket to a property show in London and it was here that he headed to The Progressive Property stand and was inspired. Greg then went on to attend the MSOPI event and what he learnt was life changing, he knew he needed to take action, get started in the property game and change his and his families future. Through his kitchen business, Greg had built up quite a data base of potential investors. The first two people he approached said yes. Greg feels lucky but Kevin disagrees, he says he has done the work to build these relationships and then taken action to make use of what he has built.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode Kevin speaks with Simon Cooper AKA ‘Damp Sam’, host of The Damp Show Podcast. Simon has a wealth of experience with Damp and the destruction it can create in properties. His knowledge is gained from nearly 30 years in the building business, including as a plasterer, gaining a HNC in building management and as a property investor. Simon and Kevin talk all things damp, Simon also tells you what you can do to reduce the risks of damp, what different types of damp there are, debunks damp myths and gives some great tips for anyone who owns property! Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS Simon attended the MSOPI course at progressive and this was when his brand ‘Damp Sam’ was born. He then began doing YouTube videos and now racks over 500 videos, including some joint venture videos with Progressive Media. Good damp proofers aren’t easy to find and when you do find one, you usually just take their word for what needs doing. Damp Sam opens up the world of Damp proofing and educates people, arming them with the knowledge to understand what is actually happening beneath the damp they come across. Simon learnt an incredible amount from his first two house renovations. Including the support out there for renovations, asset protection, planning laws and even land registry guidelines. Don’t ever try and do damp proofing yourself, it’s a specialist area and you could create more difficult, and more expensive, problems. As a general rule, properties pre 1919 didn’t have damp courses put in. Post 1919 most properties would have put them in. But it’s important to remember that there are different types of damp courses and not one fix works for all. There are multiple types of damp and it’s essential that they are all diagnosed individually. Most of us have heard of rising damp and this is something that is frequently misdiagnosed, Sam frequently sees on surveys that a whole house is suffering from rising damp but this isn’t usually the case, it’s usually from multiple sources and has differing causes. Houses with differing ground levels within a property, for example if you have to make a step up to the kitchen, can suffer from lateral damp. It’s important these areas have waterproof systems installed to prevent damp. Ventilation is essential to stopping and preventing damp. All properties should have a fan in the kitchen and a fan in the bathroom, to draw moisture out of these rooms that produce a lot of differing heat levels and A great way to test if your internal fans are performing, is to do Sam’s £10 test. You hold a £10 note to the vent/fan and if it sucks it on then you know it’s ventilating enough. In some locations, such as London and Manchester, basement conversions can add a large amount of value. It’s important to weigh this up, as the cost of doing a conversion to a good standard, that won’t be prone to damp, is very expensive. Don’t treat mould with anything with sodium in it. This can create a bigger problem. Simon advises to always look for a mould remover that has benzalkonium in it. If you have a trade or are looking for a career change in the building industry, damp proofing could be you. You just need to learn it, become a specialist and you can make good money in a career that always has work. Get in touch with Simon, PCA and invest in yourself. BEST MOMENTS “There’s a lot of opportunity in the digital world” “There’s already somebody going to do it cheaper” “All these doors were shutting, I was just going to have to be the best at what I do” “Learn how to do this system and invest in yourself” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/offers/msopi-property-investing-event-tc-ggl/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjc2QBhDgARIsAMc3SqR7wMwLKFciEZbG8Jn8hUh2CDX2xN7HrF-DQJohHHG6d7DTUEnSaVYaAnatEALw_wcB https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Simon Cooper AKA Damp Sam is a time served plasterer since 1983 and has a HNC in building management.

It is usually 15 years for a recession cycle and the trigger is always different, but you can take proactive steps; building networks and relationships now in preparation, listen in to hear about the realities and how you can plan to not only survive but thrive. KEY TAKEAWAYS A recession can result in fear and this can make it more challenging to understand the realities. These are the realities; Many great businesses are built on a recession because the playing field is levelled this includes large and significant businesses such as Microsoft and Lego. Many business models thrive in a recession e.g. tax accountants and confectionary manufacturers. Progressive thrived because people were looking for something different and positive they could do as a result our training took off. Your competitors are likely to stop spending money on marketing because they view it as a variable cost. This should be the last thing that should be reduced as it removes your pipeline for new business. When there is a recession you need to learn how to manage your cash and finances better. If you learn to manage cash flow well now you will be even better in a recession. Staff costs are likely to reduce in a recession and it is often possible to employ very talented and skilled individuals at lower salaries. You can buy businesses cheaply and grow through acquisition during a recession. People will have fear and they will need guidance. They will need leaders and that can be you if you manage your emotions well. People think that money disappears in a recession, it doesn’t it just moves, from traditional businesses to lean businesses from old businesses to new businesses. BEST MOMENTS ‘When we saw the last recession, we had fears and concerns, but it ended up being good for our business’ ‘I learned a lot vicariously from other property companies during the last recession’ ‘If your competitors are spending less on marketing you have less competition for leads’ ‘If you learn to manage cash flow well now you will be even better in a recession’ VALUABLE RESOURCES No Money Down: Property Investing book by Kevin McDonnell https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ ABOUT THE GUEST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor and property educator.

If the answer is yes, this episode is for you. Your host, Kevin McDonnell interviews world renowned negotiation expert and best-selling author of bare-knuckle negotiation, Simon Hazeldine. Kevin and Simon discuss the key skills you need to have to become a master negotiator, mistakes to avoid and techniques to follow to ensure you end up with the deal you deserve. ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD KEY TAKEAWAYS What do you see as the key skills of a master negotiator? Being a good negotiator is a critical part of your skill set, have a successful property portfolio, property investment, investment business. What makes what makes a really good negotiator is research shows, for example, a good negotiators gather twice as much information as they give, they focus a lot of time, a lot of efforts, a lot of energy in doing what I call getting inside the other person's head and understanding things from their point of view. Good negotiators are also very well planned and prepared. Make sure that people are thoroughly planned and prepared, that they follow a planning process that increases your confidence that helps you consider options before they come up. A good negotiator doesn't do every deal and a good negotiator does every deal that makes good commercial sense. Knowing when to walk is another important thing for people. Patience is also a good thing to be acting unhurriedly even if you are in a hurry, remaining as calm and objective as you possibly can because emotions can obviously flare, human beings are very emotional creatures. Be very polite and respectful is also a good thing. A good negotiator does less what is called irritating behaviours, finger pointing, aggression, sarcasm and insults. Keeping it professional is an important thing to do, particularly if you want to be doing repeat business with that individual or that organization. Good negotiators have the ability to step into their shoes of a seller and see it from the seller's point of view. Price is a factor in any negotiation. Usually, it is very rarely if ever, the only factor and if it's just got narrowed down to price, you might be missing other opportunities to add value to the deal for the other parts. It is always about the people, the people who own that property that you want to buy must be willing to also sell it to you or want to do a joint venture with you. If you find out what's most important to people and then you show them how you can help them get what's most important to them, that's selling a negotiation in a nutshell. Solve their problem instead of trying to buy their house. What are the biggest mistakes people make in negotiating? Moving too quickly to sort of doing the bargaining, how much are we going to pay and then that they don't spend enough time planning and preparing. They don't spend enough time understanding the perspective of the other person. New property investors, property developers are sometimes very anxious to get some notches, some numbers and get some deals done and sometimes pursue a deal far too long when they should walk away because they feel nothing's happening and it's not working. If your first five deals that you sign up roll pretty badly, you're going to have those bad boys in your portfolio for a while. Definitely move fast but move faster when the deal is right. Tips for getting better results in a negotiation. Do your homework and do your research. Knowledge is power, walk the streets, have a look, get to know the areas, monitor things, watch what's happening. Ask more questions, do less talking and more listening. Find out if you can construct something that is going to meet what that person needs, solve their problems and take away their pain. BEST MOMENTS “People think that negotiation is the sexy exciting cut and thrust, but that's only going to be sexy and exciting if you've done your homework in advance.” “The more time you invest in the deal, the harder psychologically it is to get out it.” “Neuroscience research shows that 95% of the influence on our decisions is from more emotional primitive regions of the brain.” “Average man or woman in the street thinks negotiation is open high, drop down, meet me halfway and back and forth but it’s much more than that.” “Empathy is different to sympathy, empathy just means I get how you're feeling, I understand how you’re feeling, I understand why this is important to you.” “Word of mouth is very powerful and also a very bad form of marketing, depending on what's being said about you.” “Understand that if you feel a bit uncomfortable, that's called being human and that's really normal and that's not a bad thing.” “The more you learn, the more you earn.” “The more desperate you are, the worst deal you will

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.

However they may also see more demand for properties which could solve this issue. 99% of the population will be impacted by the rise in inflation as the main things they spend money on such as food, fuel etc has all increased dramatically. However, there is an upside for property investors as average property prices have also increased. Cash is built to move. There’s no point having cash just sat in your account and not working for you. All that will happen is inflation will erode it’s worth.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD This is an extra special podcast episode with none other than Nigel Farage! Mark feels really akin with Nigel’s politics and watches GB news every evening so was very excited to record this episode for you all. Nigel and Mark talk about the start-up and progress of GB news, Covid-19, business and all things politics including his opinion on PM Boris Johnson and why Nigel believes we need a Brexit 2.0! They also discuss Nigel’s incredible knack for predicting what is going to happen next in the political landscape and what the public opinion will overwhelmingly be! To hear more from Nigel & Mark head to Rob.team KEY TAKEAWAYS Since GB news was launched, Nigel has already seen the changes it has brought to the broadcasting landscape. Many channels and programming is duplicating the GB formats and introducing more talk shows and opinion pieces. Broadcasters have a big responsibility and if they get things right then they can create enormous ripples that change what happens in our country and in the world. Nigel has been a sensible environmentalist all his life. He doesn’t understand what the goal of net-zero emissions is when all we are doing in the UK as a country is exporting our emissions and actually creating more pollution. It creates a whole host of other problems and isn’t actually any better for the planet. We have the resources to be self-sufficient for energy but we aren’t, he asks why? The ramifications of Covid on society is hard to measure but we also can’t ignore the huge impact Covid restrictions have had on the countries mental health, education and children’s development. Nigel believes when we look back on this we will see that lockdowns and restrictions actually did more harm than good. Nigel’s treatment by other MEPs and in Brussels was very negative. After his 2016 speech it became even worse and he even got refused service in restaurant and cafes. It isn’t easy to ignore criticism and not care about everyone’s opinion but Nigel got to a point in 2014 where this is what he had to learn to do. Now he doesn’t even take an interest in others opinions about him, they are just that, their opinions and not his. Nigel believes there needs to be a Brexit 2.0. he thinks we need to leave the European Call to Human Rights to help with the large scale immigration still happening. The power and control big media and tech companies have now frightens Nigel. He is worried about the cancel culture we are seeing and the restriction on free speech. He can only hope that some of the challengers coming out will help disrupt these industries and allow everyone to have free will and communication, on all topics. The answer to labour and skill shortages isn’t immigration. Nigel states that opening the dialogue with young people and a reorientation towards them acquiring skills and trades rather than degrees could be the solution. It’s incredibly difficult to run something like an engineering company right now just on English skill sets.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this special episode of the Progressive Property Podcast, Mark breaks down the impact of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine on the UK markets, inflation and house prices. THE HEADLINES INTEREST RATES: Interest rates aren't going to move that much. Away from their current expected path. The market thinks that a UK based rate goes to about one and a half percent terminal rate of about one and a half, 2% over the next two to three years. LONDON HOUSE PRICES: There is an estimated 1100 Russian owned properties in London, even if all were seized this would not likely have an impact on the overall market. It potentially may in west London where the majority are owned. REGIONAL HOUSE PRICES: Is it going to affect house prices regionally in the provinces, across the rest of the country? I don't think this is going to have a major effect on UK house prices. STOCKS: Lots of stocks have been hit really hard, particularly brands that export to Russia either goods or services. Overall markets will continue to dip based on the uncertainty of the global situation. More money will go into bonds. FUEL AND ENERGY: Some economists saying fuel could hit £2 per litre, as supplies from Russia are cut off in the immediate future there will continue to be increasing energy and fuel prices, compounded by supply chain issues of the last 2 years.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In today's throwback episode, Kevin discusses why not to listen to those advising to steer clear of London investments, why the ‘tenant buyer’ strategy is the most hands free of them all and how to sort the good builders from the bad. KEY TAKEAWAYS Over the last few months, people have started the question if it is wise to invest in London, given the way of the world. That is because the masses are questioning London. Observe the masses, and do the opposite. Interest rates are going to drop to negative, so there has probably never been a better time in history to raise money to help invest in properties. Many people would consider single lets the most ‘hands free’ strategy. However with single lets you often have the management, the maintenance, the voids and the inspections. With a tenant buyer, it is completely hands free strategy. You don’t need a letting agent or a maintenance team and you can do it remotely as it is completely outsourced to the tenant buyer. If you're setting up a limited company, you should be putting a personal loan into that company. When running a limited company you need to ensure you get a property tax accountant . Everything from mobile phones to office supplies can be put through the company as company property rather than putting it through your own name. If you ring a builder up and he says he can come tomorrow, they’re likely a bad builder. The good builders are always busy. The moment you get a property agreed, you need to find a builder. You will get the keys anywhere between 4-8 weeks after the agreement, leaving it until then to find a good builder will cost you. You need two years of company accounts in order to qualify for mortgages in your company name. You can start by doing rent to rent and lease options in order to build up your accounts. Many people want to quit their jobs to become property investors. The reality is, you do not need to quit your job.Managing your time is a better step than quitting your job. You have got plenty of time to do property in your spare time, if you are smarter with your free time. Aim to quit your job later but first you should build up cash flow and passive income. If you are just starting out and do not have the funds or knowledge to invest in property yet, it is a good idea to go and work for an investor and offer to work for free. Find the big player in your area and ask how you can help them. They will give you some work to do and you will learn from their expertise.
