KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is no right or wrong way. Before you accept any advice from property experts, make sure it aligns with your values, your principles, and your objectives. Your path will be very unique. So, as much as possible, tweak it based on what you believe will work for you.
- The 9-to-5 job is not for everybody. Though Peter had notable success in the corporate world—he was promoted as a partner in a well-known firm—he felt it wasn’t his playground. The property field is where he felt fulfilment and growth.
- Set your goals. Write them down, cling onto it, re-read them, evaluate them, and always make sure you do the small and big tasks that will make everything fruitful. Some goals would require you to do things beyond what you thought you’re capable of but don’t let your doubts and fears hinder you. Do it.
- Peter’s portfolio includes 73 buy-to-let’s, 2 HMO’s and more. Lately, he’s been exploring in building houses.
- Peter’s one key advice: It’s all about the mindset. Being able to persevere when things get tough, being prepared to borrow the money and taking the action needs your unstoppable mindset.
- Communication is very important. Every person differs in their verbal and non-verbal communication. So, with every client, every partner, or every investor you interact with, make sure you observe and learn how they communicate. This kind of skill increases your chances in closing more deals.
- The property business is all about finding deals and raising finance. When you have everything in place in your property portfolio, then it’s time to look into leveraging talents (hiring your staff) so you can focus on growing your business.
