The Property Nomads Podcast

Neil Scroxton is an Architect with 20+ years of experience and extensive expertise in the arena of commercial conversions. He shares his own journey and explains why it’s vital that architects are commercially minded in order to effectively advise their clients. He talks with Rob about why it’s important to understand what you are trying to achieve and have the right team in place if you want to be a successful developer. Every project is about time, cost and quality and you can successfully get the balance right if you know how to look for the opportunities and build the right relationships. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS A commercial conversion is taking an office space and converting it into a residential space. Most planning consultants essentially just deal with the paperwork of changing one building from one class to another, not the implementation. Having someone from an architectural point of view early on is very helpful as it is in the implementation that the money lies. Investors need to understand what they need to do and change to meet the requirements for a residential property. Whatever the project due diligence is the most important thing. Expect to upgrade everything then you will not be disappointed with the work you have to undertake. Look for somewhere that is on the border between residential and commercial areas. If you spend more time investing in building relationships with people working with you then you will get more back. Having the right mentality is key. Many deals are ruined and lost because people haven’t built the right relationships to be able to sustain and complete the development process successfully. The change of use guidance document provides clear information about the types of properties available but you need an expert to get the most out of it. Section 106 looks at local amenities and the impact any development may have on the local community. Developers have to look for opportunities to save money but accept the costs that come with development. If you are trying to build a deal pipeline don’t get involved in the day to day on-site, pay someone else to do this Every project is about time, cost and quality. Understand what you are trying to achieve and use the right team and approach for the project. BEST MOMENTS ‘You should look at these buildings as a structural framework’ ‘Make sure you know who you are working with, technicians and architects are different’ ‘The reason my time costs money is because I make people extraordinary amounts of money’ ‘If you want to be a developer you pay the right people and are in a position to move on and be looking for the next deal’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) ABOUT THE GUEST Neil Scroxton BArch, Dip Arch, March, RIBA With 20+ years of experience in the property industry, Neil Scroxton has worked on most of the popular development strategies and planning/permitted development gain plays. Having started in drawing offices at the age of 14 and designed and built his parents’ house at the age of 19, Neil Qualified as an Architect and founded Scroxton & Partners (previously MatchBox Architects) at the age of 27. As a planning, architecture and construction management consultancy, the practice now constructs projects up to £50m in construction budget, while still keeping their hand in with smaller developments of under 10 units.

In this episode of the Expertcast series, Rob is with Ian Denston Environmental Health Officer and Landlord who specialises in the housing side of Environmental Health including HMOs. Ian trains landlords on HMO compliance and shares key advice for anyone who is an HMO landlord or looking to become one. There is a considerable amount of regulation around HMOs and getting it right and being compliant is very necessary as it’s an area where strict liability applies and tenants may not be in a position to look after themselves. Ian and Rob discuss both the challenges and the rewards of HMOs in this informative episode packed with great advice and content. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS HMOs are a regulatory nightmare so it’s important to understand what you are doing The one environmental factor that affects people more than anything is housing The system of inspection and regulations applies to every property even your own home. There are inherent risks in the home because we spend large amounts of time there. You have to protect tenants because they may not be able to protect themselves. There are 2 main areas for regulations with HMOs, planning and environmental health. If you have an HMO that doesn’t require a licence you are still subject to the HMO regulations. Councils do look at landlords for income and a way to achieve this is through cost for non-compliance. Penalty notices are civil offences and when pursued the council gets the money. It’s up to the landlord to find out what they need to do to be compliant and if you don’t do something because you didn’t know you are still responsible. The one area that is well funded is HMO licensing because of the income it gets from landlords. You have to invest in yourself and your knowledge because the consequences of not knowing are significant. If you have an HMO that needs a licence and you haven’t got one then the tenants can claim the rent back for up to a year. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can turbocharge your property investments if you have HMOs and they are run well’ ‘Strict liability is where it’s no defence to say you didn’t know’ ‘The difference between a licenced HMO and an unlicensed HMO is the cost of the licence’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) www.Ehhs-uk.co.uk Email [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST Ian Denston Ian is a Chartered Environmental Health Officer with over 30 years of experience in the sector.

Rob is with CEO and Co-Founder of ECI Developments Michael K Cobb, who at the height of a hugely successful career in the computer industry decided to make a complete change and move into real estate in the emerging markets of Central America. Along with his business partner he now builds inspired residences for adventurous souls and in this episode shares his journey and explains why it’s important to understand you don’t know what you don’t know and that you have to forget what you think you know when moving forward into any new venture. This is a revolutionary time for how people live and work globally and when you can work remotely you can choose to live somewhere that will bring you a higher quality of life. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes we are required to be physically present in a location but many roles can be successfully maintained from any location. This is a moment in time when we will look back at it as a sea of change in the way we work and in working remotely. You have to be a practitioner at something for 10,000 hours before you can become a master. It all began by hearing about a need, seeing a need in the marketplace and finding a way to serve the need for the consumer. Where ever you buy property in the world there is risk. When you buy property overseas the risks are still there but are different. We don’t know what we don’t know and we have to forget what we think we know. If you use this as your approach you will bring humility to any project. We looked at the pathway of progress patterns that had occurred previously across British colony countries and used them as an indicator of what might happen. If you see challenges as opportunities and ways to learn then you have a mindset ready for adventure. Investing a small part of your portfolio in a different country is prudent because the diversification of assets reduces overall risk. When you can work from anywhere in the world you can choose to live somewhere and achieve a higher quality of life and a lower cost of living. This is a revolutionary time in global real estate as people change how they live and work globally. BEST MOMENTS ‘This is a pivotal time when people who want to live elsewhere in the world will be able to’ ‘We saw a need in the marketplace and looked at ways to service the need’ ‘We build village-style developments. In Nicaragua, we took pasture and a cattle farm and turned it into a village by the sea’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Global Property resource Kit - https://info.ecidevelopment.com/eci-info-new-gap-robert-smallbone Master Handbook Landing page - https://info.ecidevelopment.com/devoy-smallbone-properties-eci-country-handbooks-0-1 Belize Country handbook - https://info.grandbaymen.com/irerp-belize-handbook-robert-smallbone Panama Country Handbook - https://info.ecidevelopment.com/irerp-panama-handbook-robert-smallbone Nicaragua Country handbook - https://info.granpacifica.com/irrep-nicaragua-handbook-robert-smallbone Website = www.ecidevelopment.com ABOUT THE GUEST Michael K. Cobb At the height of a successful career in the computer industry, Mr Cobb left to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, he and his business partner formed a company, Exotic Caye International, to provide loans to North Americans purchasing properties in Belize, Honduras and throughout the region. As the need for capital outstripped the supply, the mortgage company was converted to an international bank under the jurisdiction of Belize. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass the full realm of financial products. Mr Cobb also saw the need for a regional real estate company that would serve the Baby Boomer consumer with a North American standard product for the next 2 decades. He led the group into real estate development and created a holding company for several properties including a resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize. In August of 2000, Exotic Caye purchased 3.5 miles of Pacific Beachfront property due west of Managua, Nicaragua. This master-planned community hosts world-class infrastructure, homes and condominium units. In February of 2006, the ECI Development group acquired 1100 acres and 3km of coastline in Costa Rica, setting the stage for expansion into this popular market. Most recently they merged their Belize property with a much larger parcel and have begun to develop 200 condominiums units on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Additionally, Michael has spoken at hundreds of international conferences about real estate financing and development. He has acted as a consultant to The Oxford Club and gives counsel to various real estate projects throughout Central America. CONTACT METHOD https://www.ecideve

In this Expertcast, Rob talks all things Buy to Let with Peter Jones ‘The Property Teacher’ -successful author and serial property investor. Peter shares his property journey and explains why and how Buy to Let can be a successful strategy for all property entrepreneurs. How investors choose their area and what makes a property desirable as a Buy to Let along with why you must understand what your goals are and what you ultimately want to achieve are all discussed by Peter and Rob in this informative episode packed with invaluable content. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy to let is buying a property and then renting it out to a tenant There is a sweet spot with property it’s all about finding property ‘where they are aren’t too good and they aren’t too bad’ You have to understand what your strategy is and why you have chosen property investment. You need to know what you want to achieve and work backwards from that. Lots of people buy property because they think that’s what they should do but they don’t know why they are doing it. You should view on average 40 properties a month, offer on 12 and hopefully get one. If you get multiple offers accepted you are offering too much if you get nothing you are probably offering too low. It can take years to build a good team, its trial and error and experience. There is huge power in having the right team and skillset around you. Buy to Let is not always exciting but it’s a proven, solid model that works. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you understand the process and what’s out there you can do anything’ ‘Strategy should be running everything’ ‘In every time and market, there are opportunities’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) www.Tpnpodcast.com/blog The Property Teacher ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

Rob is in conversation with Janice Minihan who is a successful entrepreneur in property deal sourcing. They discuss her journey to property success and how property allowed her to get creative and pursue exciting opportunities. Property sourcing is about being able to fulfil a client’s criteria for a property and reputable deal sourcers work with the trust and confidence of their clients built through their positive relationships and networking. It’s all about reputation when you grow as a deal sourcer and understanding that your network is your net worth. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s important the investor goes from wanting to buy a property, to having a property that generates income for them. As a sourcer you have to be able to adapt and find the right deal for the investor. Networking is key, it’s all about the relationships you build with others. Off-market and direct to vendor leads will come through your network. It’s a win for you and a win for them. Fees vary according to the deal. Larger deals may be a percentage whereas single property deals will usually be completed by a sourcer for a set fee. A reputable sourcer will never ask for the complete sourcing fee upfront. If you give a good service your reputation will grow and you will be able over time to command a higher fee. A legitimate sourcer will be regulated having professional indemnity insurance, be registered for anti-money laundering, be a member of the NRLA, be part of the property redress scheme and registered for data protection with the ICO. It’s important to be regulated, know your numbers, build relationships and your network and invest in yourself and your education. If you take the time to develop your skills then you are helping people to get what they want and you are getting something you want. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you can’t get clear answers from the sourcer then they may not be the sourcer for you’ ‘If you treat it like a business you will get business results if you treat it like a hobby you’ll get hobby results’ ‘Know your numbers otherwise you won’t get any deals’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) www.minihangroup.co.uk The Property Deal Store ABOUT THE GUEST Janice Minihan is an entrepreneur who eats, breathes and lives property. With a teaching career spanning 15 years, property was her next favourite thing to do alongside that for 7 years.

Rob is in conversation with Susannah Cole one of the UK’s most successful self-made property investors. With a passion for all things property, she specialises in flipping properties and discusses how with determination and the right knowledge anyone can become successful and make money from property. As someone who began her business at the kitchen table, Susannah knows exactly what it takes and shares some of the highs and the learning experiences she has had on her journey to a multi-million-pound property portfolio. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS There is creativity, flexibility and stability with property I started out purchasing and creatively renovating wrecks of houses each time doubling up my investment through the market and adding value. A lot of it was creativity and making very individual houses. For flipping there are 2 specific markets – the cookie-cutter ‘rinse and repeat’ putting in the same things every time, this is a mass-market approach. Bespoke flipping is about a very individualised approach it’s a thing of love but is adored by the British market You need to understand you are retailing with houses. The cookie-cutter approach is a good starting strategy. The whole atmosphere and prestige are key requirements for the bespoke strategy. The data is really important you have to know what’s going on in your area. The critical thing is finding the property discounted. Buying discounted means you have a safety margin Cities and towns are better because there is more fluidity with people, property and options. Flipping can be effective in a much wider way – you can add value through joint venturing and flipping commercial properties and land. It’s important to communicate and discuss all options and risks with JV partners. Flipping is about generating lump sums of cash that can then be used to fund other things. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s about building relationships’ ‘There is always a plan B so a property only ever has 8 weeks exposure on the market before it moves to a rental’ ‘I’ve always viewed flipping as a retailing houses’ ‘You must never refurbish for yourself when you are flipping don’t spend on anything you don’t need to’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) The Good Property Company Susannah Cole Linkedin ABOUT THE GUEST Susannah Cole Susannah is. Starting her first business at the age of 22 she knew she had an entrepreneurial spirit which could not be constrained by a J.O.B (Just over broke). Breaking out of the corporate lifestyle she followed her dreams and took the risk to set up the Good Property Company which she has now been running for over ten years. With determination and the right knowledge, Susannah believes anyone can make millions from property. It is possible to succeed even with very little money starting out. It only took Susannah 3 ½ years to become a property millionaire, and in her first 3 months as a deal packager, she made £12k as a kitchen table start-up with a phone, a kettle and computer. Susannah went on to source, buy or let out more than 200 properties with a value of £45million and an agreed purchase price of £30million (before refurb). She then invested her capital to develop her multi-million-pound property portfolio consisting of HMO’s, single lets and serviced accommodation. Susannah has made a huge impact within the property community and her success is unprecedented. She has been featured in well-known property magazines such as Property Investor News and Your Property Network and has provided advice on podcasts such as Property Hub, Inside Property Investing and Tej Talks. Susannah's passion for property is infectious and she loves to give back and share her knowledge through her live workshops and group mentoring programme. Susannah's top priority is to help others to achieve (and hopefully surpass) her own successes! Susannah has already taught hundreds of mentees, many of whom have gone on to become very successful in property. Whether you are new to property or a seasoned property developer looking to increase your property knowledge and expand your horizons - Susannah is there to help.

In this first Expertcast Tsen Wharton is talking all things serviced accommodation. As a property entrepreneur Tsen is on a journey of continuous growth and property is what gives him the opportunity to be the best the version of himself and consistently reach to achieve more. He shares the model he and his business partner have developed and refined over time and discusses both the advantages and challenges of serviced accommodation. Ultimately all property strategies can work very well but it’s vital to understand which is right for you. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced accommodation is a fully-fledged hospitality business. You have guests that pay by the night for a bed and the associated services. They are not tenants they are guests, it’s a business operator and client relationship. The price to pay by the night is a premium compared to the rent from a tenant. Rent to rent operators are capitalising on taking property and repurposing it for a different market Most people associate serviced accommodation with the traditional holiday lets but there are many wide and varied demands for serviced accommodation. Identify where the demand is first this could be near a hospital or a contractor market if there is development taking place. It should all start with identifying the audience you are going to serve with your serviced accommodation. The category of serviced accommodation is determined by the local authority. It is recommended that you get in touch with the planning office to find out about licensing for the area. 100% disclosure is important in acquiring property for serviced accommodation. Many landlords are positive about their properties being taken on as corporate lets for serviced accommodation. All property strategies can work very well but it’s important to understand which is right for you – for some serviced accommodation will be the perfect answer. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are in the business of providing solutions’ ‘What is your ‘why’ and does serviced accommodation fit that?’ ‘We have proved our model and our marketplace’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Predictable Property Profits by Tsen Wharton www.adaeroservicedaccommodation.com [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST Tsen Wharton Tsen Wharton is a full-time property entrepreneur, actively investing each year in property, and his own self-development, to add increasingly more value into the marketplace. Tsen discovered personal development and property education in his early twenties and a few years later bought his first investment property.

In this fascinating episode, Rob is with Rob Tyson host of the Dig Deep Mining Podcast and specialised recruiter for the mining Industry. They discuss the places across the world where mining is a core industry and what it takes to develop a new mine and the many benefits it can bring to a community over time. They also talk macroeconomics and the role mining plays across the global community. This is a great listen and has something for everyone - we usually don’t really think too much about it but the reality is everything we have in the world begins by being mined or farmed, listen in and enjoy. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS In the mining industry, a lot of companies are holding at the moment and waiting to see what will happen. Currently, most ex-pats are working remotely running mines. The changes in working patterns mean ex-pat recruitment in the mining industry will be changed forever. The role of an ex-pat is usually to train someone from the country in around 2 years to take over their role. Mining is a primary industry and anything in the world is either mined or farmed. It takes a long time to build a mine and you have to remember the importance of working alongside the community and contributing to it. The majority of local people are positive if they can see the benefit. Infrastructure is vastly improved with the creation of a mine. Educating children about how mining contributes to the world economy. In any situation, there are opportunities if you know how and where to look for them. My podcast is about interviewing technical people from different aspects of the mining industry. Interviewing and listening to my guests is helping to increase my knowledge. My challenge is getting the podcast to more people who are involved in the mining industry so they can benefit from the content and information.

I have a successful strategy but am always interested to learn about something different I like to find someone who is doing something successfully then model on that. Property is opportunity led we may now see more commercial coming to market. Big changes will also bring big opportunities. There are lots of layers in the COVID situation and there can only be a broad overview of how to move forward because no one has all the facts. Coming out of this will be in part guided by the media and how long they continue with a negative message. There is money available for borrowing It’s all about confidence We have carried on working on our construction projects throughout this pandemic but have had plenty of challenges around supplies.

Mikkel also shares some great offers for the Offshore Escape Conference, listen in, enjoy and learn. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS An ex-pat is someone who lives outside of their country of origin and often lives in more than one country. An offshore market or jurisdiction is anywhere outside of your place of birth and they share particular advantages – very favourable tax laws with low or zero tax and strong asset protection laws. There can be large tax benefits from having a second citizenship. The quick way – make a donation to a country in exchange for citizenship and the passport that comes with this. Live in the country for an extended amount of time and after 5 years apply for citizenship. The lucky method is being born in a country and growing up in a different one or if your grandparents or parents were born in a different country. If you have your business online and you work out of western Europe you will be paying 40-50% of your revenue in taxes. Ultimately everyone is the same and want the same things to be safe, have a roof over their head and be able to provide for their family. If you want to diversify your portfolio and own properties in different currencies then this is a great time to invest.

When you start out in property this is a question you will want to know the answer to, and in this episode, Rob as an experienced and successful property entrepreneur shares the answer and the reasons why ultimately it’s all about the relationships.

When you are getting started in property it’s the most frequently asked question. An investor will either want to see something you’ve already done or some decent numbers on paper. Property is always about building relationships. If you are going through an estate agent they like to see proof of funds. Work on getting some form of income first because it gives you more power.

Because of the Covid-19 outbreak, a lot of people have gone into self-quarantine or self-isolation. And, as many people follow the protocol, there is also a perceived significant increase of people resorting to podcasts just to entertain themselves. For people who want to help and bring awareness to the crisis while they get their content out there, podcasting is the way to go! In this episode of The Property Nomads Podcast, Rob shares the 8 Golden Rules of Podcasting. His consistent creation of relevant property/real estate content has gained him the traction he deserves throughout the time. Be one of the lucky people who hears his secrets when you tune in.

All you need is a working mic, and of course, your flawless storytelling on anything you’re passionate about. 8 Golden Rules of Podcasting: Have a Concept. Focus on a niche. Know why you are setting up your podcast. Treat it like a business. Never miss an episode! Note the 3 C’s of Podcasting: Commitment, Congruency, and Credibility. Do not compare yourself to others. Diarise your time. Have fun podcasting! BEST MOMENTS “There’s many people getting into podcasting. It’s becoming more and more of an attraction.” “If you treat something like a hobby, you’re going to get hobby results. If you treat your podcast like a business, you create a business mindset.” “People love routine; people love to be able to listen to the same podcast week in, week out.” “If you like what you do, and you do what you like, you’ll absolutely be fine.” “Keep trying new things and love the competition.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

This week, Rob is joined by entrepreneur, podcaster and Prince’s Trust ambassador, Jay Dhillon. There aren’t many who know more about investment and business strategy than Jay, a man with his finger on the pulse of all things property. In this special conversation, Rob talks to Jay about a range of subjects, including how the Coronavirus outbreak is likely to affect the world of property, the importance of preparation in today’s world, the power of podcasting in building your brand, and the story behind his incredible career as a mentor to some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS The Coronavirus outbreak has the potential to cause a crash, but Jay is cautious. Panic and speculation are far more likely to invoke trouble than the virus itself. Preparation is what helped Jay to survive the last recession. Do all you can to survive, and ask yourself the question: If my supply chain disappeared tomorrow, could I survive? As a business-owner, you need to make sure that you’re the one who can take advantage of your competitor’s poor planning in these circumstances, and not the other way around. Business has to go on, so make sure you’re the one doing so. Jay built a successful business and then sold it, allowing him a rare insight into the entire process of entrepreneurship that many do not have. It has made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the world. The difference between a good coach and a good mentor is that a mentor usually teaches by relating a real-life example, which is much more effective in terms of instruction. One of the greatest things to come out of podcasting is that Jay has built relationships, formed connections, and created a legacy that will last and endure. Be patient. If you’re consistent in your approach, and take your time, you’ll succeed. Don’t just look for quick wins. Find a strategy that works for you and stick to it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Preparation is so important now’ ’Some hard decisions had to be made’ ‘We’re buying the business, not the business owner’ ‘If I’m going to mentor, then this is my challenge’ ‘Doing it is the most important thing’ ‘Look at yourself. Have you been going up or down?’ ‘Be patient and learn to pivot' ‘What are you going to do today?’ ‘KMF – Keep Moving Forward’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) The Business Mentor Podcast - https://www.jay-dhillon.com/podcast Jay Dhillon’s website - https://www.jay-dhillon.com Jay Dhillon YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNRouhFVktGDQcCRAzoHydQ ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

This week, Rob talks to husband, entrepreneur, podcaster and property investor, Stuart Lordan, the founder of Lord Panda Property. Stuart’s success has been built on the back of some wise decisions, some canny investments, and by overcoming a variety of obstacles. The reasons behind his property ventures are all too familiar; wanting to provide an alternative income in order to support his family, and to increase the amount of time spent with them. In today’s show, Stuart discusses his motivations, the perils of expecting to “get rick quick”, the value of patience, and the importance of effective systems and processes, and how they can make all the difference to your property business. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Stuart’s property journey began when he looked at a number of different avenues in order to create a sustainable, alternative source of income. Stuart’s first love is his family, but although he was working to provide them with a better life, the time away from them in order to do so didn’t make any sense. Why put so much effort into providing for a family you never see? Property investment is often seen as a get-rich-quick scheme that nets instant and substantial rewards. But the real rewards are for the more patient investors. The long game is the one worth playing. It’s important to do the groundwork in the areas you wish to invest in. Speak to agents. Speak to local people. Read the local newspapers. Get a feel for the area. Transparency and honesty are key in building relationships. Maintaining a good relationship with your power team is crucial in finding the best deals and creating success. Systems and processes are a vital component of ensuring that your property ventures function at their maximum potential. One property at a time will serve you better in the long run. Focus and strategy are all very well in property. But what happens if it all goes wrong? Contingency plans and backups should be as essential part of your property business. BEST MOMENTS ’There was an incongruence there that needed solving’ ‘Once you have that momentum, it’s very hard to shift’ ‘Get under the skin of those fundamentals’ ‘It’s not rocket science - just treat others as you would wish to be treated’ ‘Without processes in place, it’s very difficult to know where you stand' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Lord Panda Property - http://www.lordpandaproperty.co.uk Stuart Lorden LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartlordan/?originalSubdomain=uk Executive Juice Podcast - https://executivejuice.com ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

Joanne O’Connor is an incredibly successful property investor, having built her empire on Buy-To-Lets and HMOs, but life wasn’t always that way. For over ten years, Joanne had devoted herself to teaching, instructing younger minds all over the world. But she soon became disillusioned with the trends in teaching methodology. It was then that she decided to strike out on her own and establish an entirely new career path in property. Listen as Joanne talks about her incredible journey from the classroom to investment; how she did it, and how you can do it, too. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS There’s far too much pressure on teachers to dedicate their entire lives to the profession for very little reward. Working that hard should yield far better results, and a far more secure future. Joanne was attracted to the idea of owning something that could provide a passive income, and which would continue to do so. Property seemed like the ideal choice. At the beginning of a property journey, the options before you can become a little overwhelming. Joanne recommends taking one step at a time. Commercial conversions, HMOs etc can all come later. Take your first step before you overwhelm yourself. It’s okay to leave some money in a property, despite the advice out there. Just make sure it works for you. The process becomes easier each time. Not just that, but the lessons you learn from each deal, help to make the subsequent deals go more smoothly thereafter. It’s great to have a mentor on your property journey; someone who can reassure you at the right times, and who has walked the path before you. It can lift you when you need it the most. Property is slowly affording Joanne and her family the lifestyle she has always wanted. She can, to an extent, pick her working hours, and is almost at the point in her life when she can let the business run without her, and travel. When dealing with finance, be as prepared as possible, You should always expect that they’re going to ask for everything twice, and everything at the very last minute. Don’t listen to people who aren’t doing it. Make sure you take advice from people who’ve trodden the path, and who are living the life that you want to live. BEST MOMENTS ‘I felt like I was sacrificing a lot, and not for much reward’ ’Those deals aren’t impossible to find’ ‘It’s like a snowball effect’ ‘I’m not bothered about fancy cars. I just want to be able to look after people’ ‘You should expect everything to take two or three times longer than you expect it to!’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website The Property Nomads Podcast – iTunes The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Joanne’s Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/TESTeacherEscapeStrategies/ Joanne O’Connor LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanneroconnor/ Reach - www.reachukproperties.net VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-property-nomads-podcast/id1440016017 The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

This episode has some great advice on how you can get focused on a task so that you can achieve more in the journey towards your chosen goals listen in to find out more. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Law of attraction – if you personally believe it, it will happen. Having a focus and understanding how you work is important If your preferred and effective way of working is to be without external noise then you should set up your working environment to facilitate this Review what you are good at and what is more challenging, it’s vital you understand yourself. When you establish your preferred approach to work it is then important to conquer your fear of missing out as this could encourage distraction.

Understanding your values and who you are will enable you to identify and focus on your strengths. You are yourself, be yourself and work with your strengths and get others to help with your weaknesses. Be true to how you work and who you are and you will be able to get more done.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WITH YOUR OTHER HALF. In this episode Rob explains why he believes valentines day isn’t worth the build up. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS All of the build up for one day to show your love to your partner/spouse is a load of rubbish. You should be showing them how much you love them every day no matter what day it is. You should be working consistently, give and take, as a team and partnership. So you don’t need to dedicate one day of the year to do this. You wouldn’t dedicate 1 day a year to show how much you love your business; you do it all year around. You need to be able to love yourself and work on yourself in order to be able to love someone else. This could be by listening audio books for examples. This doesn’t mean chocolates, flowers and gifts etc… every single day but you shouldn’t need one specific day in order to do this for your partner. BEST MOMENTS ‘You should be showing your love consistently’ ‘There’s going to be good days and bad days.’ ‘To love others, you must love yourself first’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Matthew's Hub The Property Nomads Website The Property Nomads Podcast – iTunes The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

In this episode Rob discusses why there is no clear cut answer to what property investing techniques are good and which ones are bad. He also explains why this is the case and how you can start investing into property yourself. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS You hear a lot of people say that some property investing techniques are better than others. This is all rubbish because it all depends on the area rather than the technique itself. It’s also dependant on how you want your life to be run and how you want it to be like. It’s important to share your success however it’s not about how many properties you have in your portfolio. There is no right or wrong in property investing. You don’t have to have a certain amount of properties, deals or SA’s in order to be successful. Only focus on one course at a time and get good at one strategy before starting on the next. Don’t try and do multiple different strategies all at once. Don’t let other people control or belittle your dreams or goals. As long as you achieve what you want to achieve ethically then you’ll be fine. Don’t get too caught up on what people are doing on social media because it’s so much easier to say but not do. Everyone wants and has different lifestyles so don’t focus on their goals, focus on yours. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s down to the area’. ‘It’s whatever works for you’ ‘It’s whatever makes you happy’. ‘Don’t fear competition’.

In this very personal episode, Rob opens up about his unofficial autism diagnosis and how potentially knowing that he may be on the spectrum for autism has helped bring clarity and understanding to something he had a feeling about before. He reflects on why it’s so important not to keep your concerns and worries to yourself – there is power and change in talking to someone even if it is a massive challenge. Rob shares how this unofficial diagnosis explains why his skill set is centred around writing and analysis and why he prefers to only have a focused line of communication with others, rather than a widespread social media presence. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS I took too much on and was trying to juggle too many different things and ultimately the pressure became too much If you can feel yourself slipping downwards you have to do something about it. I had the mental fortitude to face it and deal with it A lot of us are scared of judgement, we worry about what others think of us. My podcast is a sounding board, I feel very comfortable in front of the microphone - there is no judgement. Working with your own values and aligning yourself with who you truly are is the only way to achieve congruency in life. If you are suffering with something, then tell someone it’s important to remember no one is perfect. Open up to the right people and chat. People will be there to help you if they know about your challenges.

Liam Johnston is a mortgage broker with several years’ experience, and more than a few strategies to share, that have been picked up along the way on his highly successful property journey. Liam joins Rob today to offer some fantastic practical advice to all investors, regardless of their experience levels, to share a wealth of guidance when it comes to choosing your mortgage broker, and also to bust a few myths, most namely the “6 Month Mortgage”. Is it real? Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Lots of lenders out there now are aligning themselves with digital. The market is changing, and certainly embracing new technology in order to reach their customers more effectively. The benefit of having a mortgage in a limited company’s name, is that you can offset a lot of the costs against the rental income. Rates are more than likely going to fall again soon, as mortgage companies compete for market share by making themselves more attractive. Residential mortgages are regulated, so they always are based on a person’s income. The exception is Buy-To-Let mortgages, which have no minimum requirements. Mortgage brokers are essentially agents, who gather as much knowledge as possible about the client, and then use it get them the best deal possible from an array of lenders. Bridge-To-Lets - The idea behind this is that the bridging finance is there to use until the property in in an inhabitable condition. A Light Refurb is typically classified as internal work to the house, generally involving the bathroom, kitchen, windows, doors etc. Heavy Refurb projects tend to be more structural.

Rob is with Dan Clarke from Clarke and Clarke Properties and host of the Babble podcast. They discuss the importance of getting the right team in place for any successful refurbishment. Any power team in property will include the builder so finding the right one is key. Dan and Rob share their personal experiences both good and bad and explain in detail what’s important when working with a builder to make sure you get exactly what you want at the end of the project. You don’t have to be in the town or city you are investing in – if you can visibly see what’s going on through WhatsApp, photos and there is a level of trust and good communication with your builder it can work brilliantly, listen in and find out what you need to do Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is a huge part of working successfully with builders There needs to be trust but this can be lost very easily. You have to protect yourself t every step along the way Get a project manager in for your first project and then shadow them – what software are they using. Always keep the lines of communication open. Don’t react emotionally, it never ends well Building your own power team is key If you can build a team with great trust and communication then you’ve cracked it. Know what you want - Be specific the more specific you can be about exactly what you want the easier it is to get exactly the result you expect. Decide whether you or your business partner will be the communicator as one line of communication can really help ensure things are clear. Finance – If you pay in arrears, with payment at the end of each week, you can see the standard of work on-site before making payment. Letting agents can make good project managers it’s in their skill set and they enjoy all the nitty-gritty of rushing around with the added incentive of getting the rental contract at the end of the refurbishment. Get everything in writing and don’t be afraid to ask a question more than once. BEST MOMENTS ‘There was no communication and builders were picking up from other builders combined with us manging the middle part of the build from away’ ‘The first one talked the talk, did the initial rip out, put up the partitioning and then went insolvent’ ‘Communication is a huge part of working successfully with builders’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Email Rob at [email protected] Daniel Clarke LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOSTS Rob Smallbone and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

Don’t give in to the 8-to-5—plus more for others, sadly—work just because everyone else is doing it. You can work for yourself at the very least time you could ever think of. In this episode of The Property Nomads Podcast, we discuss more on the perpetual debate of working hard and working smart. Though it’s obvious that working smart is the better option, most of us can’t really choose it easily because of the scarcity of resources and the lack of knowledge. So, today, let’s be enlightened on how we can transition from working hard to working smart by knowing the pros and cons and many more Achieving work-life balance shouldn’t be as complex as everyone thinks. Tune in. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Working hard equals more hours and less leverage. Instead of allotting some time for more important tasks, rest, or other leisurely activities, your time goes to work. Aside from this, you also consume more energy which might cause some complications to your health. Also, since you let work take so much of your schedule, there’s a high chance that you get side-tracked from your absolute goals for your future. What’s your top priority? Does your current setup work for you? Rob urges you to reassess and arrange your goals in four categories according to your priorities. Always work on the important tasks first. Working smart equals more leverage and fewer difficulties. Hire an expert who can help you do the tasks that take up so much of your time. Consider using innovative systems inside your business. Not only do you save your resources, but you also ensure the high quality of the work. When you have the extra time, you also get the chance to nurture your relationships or just be with yourself and get some clarity for your visions for the future. BEST MOMENTS “Working hard is not necessarily the best way forward.” “Take the steps to make sure we’re focusing on urgent and important tasks all the time.” “Work on the right things.” “If you can make your life simple, life can be more rewarding.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Email Rob at [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST Natalie Arabella Bailey Natalie is the founder of Gold Star Life.

It’s easy to look at other people and wish that we were in their shoes. Perhaps they’re successful, financially independent, or content in their relationships, but as Rob explains in this week’s show, things may not always be as they appear, and their path to success may be incompatible with the life you personally lead. It’s always good to have goals in life, but by following Rob’s insights you can make sure you never lose sight of the most important thing; to be yourself. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes the success that other people have attained is not immediately possible for others. This can have a negative mental effect on people. Social media is a catalyst for this, as it presents a sometimes unrealistic version of life. Kevin Clifton recently gave an example of almost taking a certain job in order to quiet his critics. He thankfully realised in time, though, that he really didn’t want to take the job, and that he was only considering it in order to please others. There will always be someone out there with a greater level of success. Treat these people as aspirational instead of as antagonists. Carve your own path. Some key questions you need to be asking yourself, and which can help you to design your life: What do you want out of your life? What is your why? What does this look like and feel like for you? Sticking to a strategy is perfectly acceptable. Don’t be ashamed. Be proud. Be congruent. Do what is right for you. Follow your path; it’s your life.

Rob talks to Rob Burgess of Head For Points, a leading UK expert in frequent flyer miles and loyalty schemes, who’s joined this fascinating conversation to talk about the genesis of Head For Points, which was built upon a strategy to effectively utilise the air miles sitting dormant in the UK, and the ways in which it can help you to make the most of the miles you’re accumulating. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob’s background was in banking, and after accumulating a wealth of frequent flyer miles, began to wonder what exactly to do with them. There are five million people in the UK with an active Avios account, but only five thousand people who have a Flyer Talk account. This is quite a discrepancy, which proves that only a small percentage use their Avios account effectively. Avios is the British Airways frequent flyers currency, which originated in 2015. It is viewed and used as a currency earned by flying through British Airways and its partners. There are certain strategies you should use in order to maximise your frequent flyer miles. Switching your credit cards to Avios friendly services and booking hotels through specific portals will see to it that you receive the maximum amount of points. BA is the only airline, globally, which guarantees to release a certain number of seats for redemption; two business class and four economy class seats each flight. In order to rely on those seats, you are required to book. Reward Flight Finder screen-scrapes the BA website, pulls out all Avios flight inventory, and presents it in a very easy to search format. More importantly, you can set up alerts. If you have a BA Gold Card, you can have seats on any flight with Avios. Rob talks to many Gold Card holders and they don’t seem to be aware of this incredible benefit. Remember to shop for deals, too. Don't rely solely on air miles. Airlines hold sales on tickets that can far outstrip saving made by using air miles. Keep your eyes open and shop around. BEST MOMENTS ‘People talk in what looks like secret code’ ‘For many people, a couple of nights in five-star hotel is just as attractive’ ‘You shouldn’t value something at more than you’re prepared to pay for it' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) www.rewardflightfinder.com Head For Points - https://www.headforpoints.com Rob Burgess LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/headforpoints/?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, Rachael Taylor and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

How do you make your voice heard by more people? You make your voice heard by listening to your own voice FIRST. Knowing yourself and being confident with it is the ultimate key to make your business thrive, according to our guest, Natalie Bailey, the founder of Gold Star. She shares views on why people trust people who exude authenticity and credibility. So, all you have to do is listen to your mind and body, and then create balance. It’s easier to execute ideas when it’s linked to yourself. Aside from this, she also shares about how travelling helped her, how to take care of your health, and how different people see ‘success’. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS People hide too much behind technology that they forget how deteriorating this can be to their emotional intelligence. As much as possible, limit your screen use. This might also motivate you to meet more people. Traveling changed Natalie’s life. She grew more confident—she isn’t as frightful as she was before and was able to know herself more. She also developed her communication and financial management skills. We have different definitions of ‘success’. Every single person traverses their own unique journey. If you think building an entrepreneurial legacy is your success, then no one shall convince you otherwise. Health and fitness are not a one size fits all kind. Do what works for you; do what will make you enjoy how you take care of your body and health. You deserve to be happy and wealthy. How can people believe in you when you don’t? It’s like a domino effect that has to start within you. BEST MOMENTS “Understand who you are, why you do what you do; that will help you meet other people.” “Don’t just get twisted in the whirlwind.” “If you want to find something, you have to put yourself on that level.” “You are the centre of your universe, and that’s okay.” “What works for some person will not necessarily work for you.” “Some people don’t give themselves permission, and that’s what I’m helping them to do.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Gold Star - https://goldstar.life/ Better Together for A Gold Star Life Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/GoldStarLife/ The Property Nomads Email Rob at [email protected] ABOUT THE GUEST Natalie Arabella Bailey Natalie is the founder of Gold Star Life. This goes way back to her background in health and fitness. She is a Certified Personal Trainer and knows how to look after other people’s needs. It's this level of care, and a genuine desire to help people that brought out her skills to help you get more done and bring on your success. Natalie is an explorer and loves to travel, making new friends along the way. She is also the Co-founder of Bailey Enterprises Property and is keen to help people live happy and fulfilled lives. Having a strong network and connections is important to her, and she wants to bring the skills she has learnt to your life as people are better together.

It’s December and today Rob shares 5 ways to make the most of the festive period. December along with August can be a bit slow in property but this is no reason to take your foot off the gas as a professional property investor because there are many things you can do in the month of December that will give you the competitive edge when you begin the new year. If you are consistently consistent in your actions in every month of the year you will be ahead of your competitors – tune in now to find out how! Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Opportunities are everywhere - there are opportunities everywhere and it’s vital to keep hunting for them throughout the Christmas period. This is the time when amateur landlords and investors slow down, but you need to keep looking for opportunities. Take time to plan out the year - it’s a good time to think about your strategy and create both medium- and long-term planning. If you plan in December for the next year you will have a competitive edge over those who don’t begin planning until the new year. Think about your visions, values, goals and strategies - ask yourself; Are you where you want to be? Are you on the path to where you want to be? Have you achieved what you wanted too in the last year? Take the time to listen to more books, podcasts and to read more books - listen to podcasts -there are a huge range and you can balance different topics and gain more knowledge. Look at your calendar and time management - can you delegate more tasks to free up time? Having effective time management creates more time. Look at your ABCD tasks and use them to work more effectively. Utilise the time in December to put these things in place and you will have a competitive edge in January and be ready to start a new year. BEST MOMENTS ‘We plan every 3 months at our quarterly reviews’ ‘I do my values every six months – on the 1st August and 1st February each year’ ‘Your values can change over time’ ‘Everyone has different circumstances download a calendar and put everything relevant on it’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Email Rob at [email protected] The Values Factor: The Secret to Creating an Inspired and Fulfilling Life by John DeMartini 7 Effective Time Management Techniques The Property Nomads Podcast ABOUT THE HOSTS Rob Smallbone and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

‘Money-grabbing, capitalist bastards! Scams!’ You’ve probably heard such accusations thrown to property investors most of the time. Though very demoting, it’s not a good reason for you to stop. Property investing is one of the most lucrative careers—hence, the name callings exist—so why don’t you let these be reminders for you instead to focus on what’s important? Rob wants you to focus on giving a commendable service. There’s no reason for other people to judge how you grow your portfolio and wealth if you give them what they need. Discover more about these from Rob when you tune in to the latest episode of The Property Nomads Podcast. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS People will always pass judgments, even with no justifications. If people see property investors as money-hungry, oppressive beings, then what you can do is to prove them otherwise. These criticisms should be taken and handled carefully. If you believe you’re providing a great service, then there’s no reason for you to feed on some negativity. Know where to put your attention (i.e. your service). Action speaks louder than words, as they say, so if you can change or better something on how you provide your service, then just do it! People don’t mind how small your portfolio is; what they care about is how you manage each of them. Focus on how you provide service, rather than growing your wealth, since gaining more money is an immediate benefit when you provide good service. BEST MOMENTS “If we can see the value of taking an empty property, bring it back into use, and be able to provide a safe and stable home for someone… that itself is a service.” “There is no right and wrong in property.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Email Rob at [email protected] ABOUT THE HOSTS Rob Smallbone and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

From growing his property portfolio to hosting his own property podcast to writing his first property book, Rob Smallbone is really on its way to take over the property world! In this episode of The Property Regeneration Podcast—and also the first part of a two-part special—Rachel interviews Rob Smallbone. Rob shares to all of us his newest book. What’s inside? Why does this stand out among other property books? He also details today how he was able to arrive at this monumental part of his career right now. Tune in to discover more. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob Smallbone’s property journey was planned before he entered the field, he was already learning so much—reading books, listening to podcasts, attending training etc. He did this during his free time whilst growing his business with his partner. Writing a book wasn’t in the primary plan, but everything seemed to move towards it. Everything was going great and he wanted to share the stuff he has already learned to others in a more specific and more concise way. Buy-to-Let might not be for everybody, so Rob wants to present ways that can cater to anyone. It’s not always butterflies and unicorns when property investing just like any business. It’s true that there’s unlimited wealth that can be possibly achieved, but building your team, dealing with finances, and others can be difficult too. Helping people through the podcast he produces and the book he’s about to launch has been a very fun and fulfilling for Rob. But Rob wants to remind everyone that no matter how much you are enjoying, set your own boundaries, and always prioritise yourself and your values. Some of Rob’s suggested books: Focal Point: A Proven System to Simplify Your Life, Double Your Productivity, and Achieve All Your Goals by Brian Tracy Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport BEST MOMENTS “We wanted a way on how we can replicate the traveling lifestyle.” “It was never my intention when I started in property to end up writing a book.” “There is really no wrong or right way of doing property.” “When you get involved into something, you put a lot of time into it… it’s all worthwhile.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Buy-to-Let: How to Get Startedby Rob Smallbone | Amazon - https://amzn.to/2X6mIgm Property Wanderer ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone is the author of the #1 Amazon Bestseller Buy To Let: How To Get Started, co-host of The Property Nomads Podcast and a property investor and mentor.

Rich Liddle is a veteran folllowing a highly successful career in the military, with eleven years in the Navy before transferring to the RAF. Rich’s military experience saw him deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, counting himself as a part of every military conflict the UK has taken part in since 1998. All through his military life, Rich was operating his property business, which since 2003, has dealt with everything from Buy-To-Lets to HMOs. In this very special Armistice Day episode, Rob talks to Rich about his military life, and how he effectively lived through two careers at once; that of an active serviceman, and trailblazing property entrepreneur. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Battlefields 2 Business was founded in order to utilise and train those leaving military service in property development and investment and allow them to use funding in order to facilitate that training. The level of discipline required in order to become a part of the military, is certainly useful and effective in shaping subsequent generations. Mindset is key with any property investor, but even more so for those who’ve left the military. There are added factors, such as PTSD to consider. But veterans can also come into property with a strength of mind that isn’t possible for those without military experience. People who have served in the armed forces require the love and support of their friends and family for many years afterwards. Friendships forged in the fire of battles are some of the longest lasting. Rich didn’t get started in property in order to make money. Property seemed a sensible move for him – in order to pay his mortgage whilst away on duty, he rented out his house. From here, he became, in his own words, an “accidental landlord”. There are many components that can lead ex-servicemen to emerge from the military, having no assets, and forced to live within the parameters of the “paycheque culture”. Rich’s rare insight into this way of life has led him to want to improve this situation. There seems to be a race-to-the-bottom when it comes to HMOs. People seem to be too eager to jump on the high-end-luxury model for HMOs, especially in student accommodation. Universal Credit has caused significant problems and has resulted in a huge amount of homelessness. Rich can see the big picture behind it, but it’s failed on a macro level, where local councils are having to pick up the tab when it comes to housing. Rich’s experience has been mainly hands-on and has been the result of many tried strategies. This allows him to be more fluid when opportunities present themselves. A strong network has made this even more effective. BEST MOMENTS ‘I like that we have an armed force that people want to be in’ ‘I would 100% do it all again’ ‘Our limits only exist in the mind’ ‘Consistency, consistency, consistency' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Rich Liddle Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rich.liddle/?hl=en Battlefields 2 Business - https://battlefields2business.co.uk Battlefields 2 Business Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/battlefields2business Rich Liddle LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-liddle-09649251?originalSubdomain=uk ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, Rachael Taylor and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

Creating a successful culture can take time however, it’s crucial to have one. In this episode, Rob explains the importance of culture within your business and how it can help you to grow your business. He also discusses 4 top tips for creating a successful culture within your business. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Know your values and the values of your company. Ask yourself what your values are and go through those values when employing new people. Create a ‘help me to help you’ philosophy. People will want to help you more if you help them. Everyone will have different values so give them more of what they value, and they will in return be more helpful to you. Keep training and educating your team, giving them freedom. Mistakes happen so give people the freedom to make mistakes but ensure they learn from it. Passing on good books, methods of working or training is a good way to help your team to achieve what they want to achieve individually which will help you achieve what you want to achieve. Be consistent in the culture and what you stand for. Having values and implementing your values are Two different things. Base your business decisions on your values and ensure your team are aligned with them.

Use the special code NOMAD5 when you sign up at www.lnpg.co.uk to get 5% off your membership fee! In 2008, Nick Watchorn, a landlord frustrated by the difficulty in finding good quality products for his rental properties, came up with a simple idea: to bring together landlords from across the UK, who collectively would be able to negotiate better prices. Since then, the Landlords National Purchasing Group (LNPG) has gone from strength to strength and has become the fastest growing buying group for landlords in the UK. Nick has joined Rob today to talk about his journey through property, the many frustrations that led to the founding of LNPG, and his perhaps surprising aims for the future of LNPG. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS As the LNPG grew, manufacturers began to take notice. Nick had to fight for discounts and for better quality goods, but now, with a massive spending collective behind him, the purchasing power has shifted in their favour. Most people purchase at retail price when it comes to household goods; this is called cost-to-serve. Trade centres do not have customer service facilities. They generally sell to businesses who know how to use the materials they’re buying, and so do not require extra service. You have to have vision and values in order to drive yourself forward. Nick likes to visually strategise and discuss his aims and goals with his team at length. Nick’s main aim for LNPG is to simply keep it running and keep it growing. He has no plans to offload what is now a highly lucrative and successful business. The core purpose has been, and always will be, to support landlords across the UK. To enforce the promise that LNPG is about value, the organisation will roll over any landlord’s membership fee to the next year if they do not recoup the value of the fee back from purchases made. Upgrading to a higher quality product at trade prices will save landlords money in the long run, but many are too focussed on short term costs. If you’re a landlord, you can buy goods through LNPG for your own home. If you are not a landlord, you cannot, and will be barred if you are caught. Cases where these rules are being broken are being treated as fraud. BEST MOMENTS ‘If someone stops me from going through a door, then it just makes me want to go through even more’ ‘LNPG is about improving the standard of living for tenants’ ‘Do the job once, and not twice or three times’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Landlords National Purchasing Group - https://www.lnpg.co.uk Nick Watchorn LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickwatchorn/?originalSubdomain=uk Don’t forget to use the special code NOMAD5 when you sign up at www.lnpg.co.uk to get 5% off your membership fee!

This week, Rob is joined by professional footballer, property investor and entrepreneur, Martyn Woolford, who’s here to discuss his journey from the football pitch to the boardroom. It’s a fascinating story of determination and ingenuity that has seen Martyn turn his considerable skills in sport into incredible strengths in property investment. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Determination has always been a part of Martyn’s life, whether in sport or business. Downtime is better spent on development than rest. It’s a formula that has taken Martyn from success to success. Looking for somewhere to invest his football earnings, Martyn aimed for property, as he felt that it was a secure and trusted form of investment. He and his business partner began small, and gradually grew, soon coming to realise that it was an effective, solid way to grow his money and to provide for his future. Early on, Martyn was of the widely held opinion that you cannot be a property investor without money, and so each time he invested, he would wait until the profits were recouped before he invested again. He soon came to realise that there are many other ways of raising finance and investing, which has made subsequent investments that much more expedient. Learning and development are fine, but it’s also valuable to realise that you can’t know everything. It’s more to do with how you deal with challenges and adversity. It’s worth pre-empting any community issues before breaking ground on new developments. Martyn endorses educating potential neighbours about the benefits of new development, in order to avoid any potential planning issues in the future. People need to treat property as a business and not a hobby. Many think of it as a side-line. If you put the time in, you’ll reap greater rewards. Ups and downs are typical in business as well as life. It’s all about having the mentality and open-mindedness to accept these bumps in the road, and the determination to work your way around them. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m willing to do more than the next guy to get where I am’ ‘Once we started to understand the reason for investment, it’s pushed us on’ ‘You’ll never know everything’ ’Time is more valuable than money’ ‘If you rest on what you know now, in five years’ time you’ll be irrelevant’ ‘If you treat property as a hobby, you’ll get hobby rewards’ ‘It’s all about knowing where you’re going’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Martyn Woolford Twitter - https://twitter.com/martynwoolford?lang=en LJ & Keat - http://www.ljandkeatlettings.co.uk/landlords.htm Martyn Woolford Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wooly11/?hl=en LJ & Keat Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ljandkeat/ [email protected] ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, Rachael Taylor and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.

Are you finding that time is slipping away from you? Are you falling just short of achieving everything you need to in your day? The Property Nomads know this feeling all too well, and so have, over time, developed a series of ways in which they can free up time, and get more done! In this episode, Rob shares these invaluable seven techniques with you, so that you can hit those goals. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS Turn off notifications – it is too easy to be side-tracked by the pinging of our phones. Studies show that it takes 21 minutes to return to proper focus after being distracted. Eliminate this by reducing those distractions. Set up repeats on your calendar and schedule tasks - take the daily or regular tasks you perform, go to your calendar, and set them up as regular tasks. This will stop you having to remember them and will automate the first few tasks of each day on your behalf. Delegate tasks - how many of your routine jobs can you give to someone else? Often the mundane tasks are the most time-consuming. Free yourself up by delegating to others and watch as your time returns to you. Communicate effectively - effective communication is crucial. You can save so much time by being clear, concise, and most importantly, precise. Avoid multitasking by focussing on one thing at a time - focussing on one thing at a time will let you get it done quicker and more effectively. Learn to say no - this can be difficult but remember that you only have a finite amount of time. Do you want to spend it on something that isn’t productive, or will take you away from something that is? Set deadlines - setting effective deadlines and goals, and reviewing them, will make them easier and allow you to prioritise. It’s fine to have plans but putting dates on them will give those plans meaning. BEST MOMENTS ‘You do need some structure at some point’ ‘Effective communication is an art form in itself’ ‘Always think before you speak’ ‘It’s about life balance. It’s about you as an individual’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon) Focal Point by Brian Tracy ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone, Rachael Taylor and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.
