In this episode of This Property Life, Nick is joined by Sarah to unpack one of the most talked-about stories in UK property right now — the idea that the housing market is “broken”, landlords are leaving in droves… and yet, millennials are becoming the fastest-growing group of new landlords.
Following recent media coverage (including a Panorama episode and reporting in the Telegraph), we dig into what’s really happening behind the headlines — and why the reality on the ground looks very different from the narrative being pushed.
This is an honest, data-led conversation about where the UK property market is heading, who’s still investing, and what today’s investors need to understand if they want to succeed long-term.
🔍 In This Episode, We Cover:
Why millennials are now the largest group of new landlords in the UK
What the media often gets wrong about buy-to-let and property investors
How today’s investors are approaching property very differently from previous generations
Why limited companies, strategy and cashflow matter more than ever
The real impact of regulation, tax and interest rates
What the “professionalisation” of property investment actually looks like
Whether buy-to-let is really dead — or just evolving
What this means for anyone considering investing in 2025 and beyond
🧠 Key Takeaway
The property market isn’t broken — the old way of investing is.
The investors who are still succeeding are:
Strategic, not speculative
Focused on numbers, not hype
Willing to adapt to a changing market
Building long-term, sustainable portfolios
And increasingly, they’re doing it younger and smarter than ever before.
🎯 Why This Episode Matters
There’s a huge amount of noise around property right now.
This episode cuts through it.
If you’re:
Thinking about getting started
Already investing but feeling uncertain
Wondering whether property still stacks up
Or trying to make sense of conflicting media headlines
…this conversation will help you see the bigger picture.

Key Takeaways * Don’t stop your deal flow once an offer is accepted, keep your pipeline active. * Momentum is everything; agents forget you quickly if you disappear. * Off-market deals can be found through consistent relationship-building with agents. * Letting agents, auctioneers, and even beauticians can be sources of new properties.

The Great Debate: New Builds vs. Victorian Terraces in Property Investment
In this episode, hosts Nick and Caroline engage in a thorough discussion on the pros and cons of investing in new builds versus Victorian terraced houses in the UK property market. They share their preference for Victorian terraces, citing stability and long-term investment potential, while new builds are viewed as market-reliant and speculative. Through colorful anecdotes and statistics about past market conditions, they emphasize the importance of understanding the market, investor pitfalls, and the dangers of oversupply in new build investments.

In this episode, Nick and Rick discuss buying property at auctions. They explain the different types of auctions, the pitfalls and perils, and provide tips for buying at auctions, and also caution against making impulse buys and getting caught up in the emotion of the auction. Overall, they highlight that auctions can be a good place to buy and sell property, but it requires a professional mindset and careful consideration. Buyers should view the property, review the legal pack, and ensure it fits their strategy. Financing can be obtained through specialist lenders including bridging finance and angel investors. Selling at auction can be a quick and efficient way to transact, but it's important to set realistic reserves and have a good relationship with the auctioneer.

Episode SummaryThis week's episode dives deep into the value of human interaction in property investing. Nick and Rick discuss how engaging in face-to-face meetings, building a local network of contractors, and talking to people in new investment areas can uncover significant opportunities that online listings might miss. Rick shares personal anecdotes highlighting the success that comes from consistently putting oneself out there and making connections, such as discovering a landlord with a large property portfolio through direct conversation.
The episode also touches on the significance of overcoming impostor syndrome in the industry. Both speakers advocate for taking small, proactive steps to build confidence and expertise. The hosts invite listeners to participate by sending in questions for future Q&A sessions, aiming to create an interactive and engaging community focussed on property investment.
Key Takeaways1. Engage in Networking: Property investing isn't just about scouring online listings like Rightmove. It's about visiting locations, talking to people, and building a local network of contractors and service providers. 2. Build a Database of Contacts: Dedicate trips to investment areas to meet local subcontractors, such as roofers and builders. Referrals and face-to-face interactions are invaluable in this business. 3. Value of Human Interaction: Relying solely on online information might lead to missed opportunities. Real-life stories underline that talking to people can unearth hidden investment opportunities. 4. Hard Work Over Luck: Opportunities in property investing come more from consistent effort and networking rather than luck.
Best Moments [00:05:12] - Nick's personal experience: Discovering a landlord with a property portfolio through in-person networking rather than online listings. * [00:15:43] - Rick's Strategy for Finding a Good Builder: Engaging with builders in investment areas and getting referrals from letting agents. * [00:27:30] - Buying a portfolio in a pub: Rick shares a story of buying property after a chance conversation in a pub * [00:35:05] - Remind people of what you do: Continuously talk to people about your involvement in property investing to generate leads and opportunities. * [00:41:22]* - Inviting Listener Participation: Nick invites listeners to send in questions to the podcast via the contact form or voice note on the website.

In this episode of This Property Life Podcast, our hosts delve into the resilience needed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of property investment. They share valuable insights from their own 15-year journey in the field, shedding light on the importance of adaptability, long-term planning, and seeking expert advice. Listeners are encouraged to view real estate investment as a long-term venture rather than a get-rich-quick scheme.
Key Takeaways* It is vital to get tax advice and consider asset protection when starting out in property investment. * Real estate is not a quick-rich scheme. It requires a long-term perspective and an ability to adapt to policy and economic changes. * Fluctuating interest rates, rising wages, and housing undersupply present both challenges and opportunities in the property market. * Having a long-term plan and seeking advice from experienced individuals is essential for navigating unexpected challenges and government changes. * Personal anecdotes about adapting to hurricanes and economic crises underline the importance of resilience and proactive planning.
Best Moments* [08:47] Adapting to Market Fluctuations: * "Interest rates will go up and down, wages will change, and housing will always be in demand. This is part of the business, and you need to pivot accordingly." * [15:30] Resilience During Government Changes: * "Resilience is key. Policies will change, and there will be new challenges. Long-term planning and getting advice from experienced professionals are crucial." * [28:10] Surviving Economic Crises: * "We survived the 2008 financial crisis, and it taught us a lot. Our recruitment business failed, but we found new opportunities in property investment." * [37:45] Reflecting on Past Challenges: * "Being hit by Hurricane Beryl during a holiday made us reflect on the stormy weather we’ve faced in the property business. It’s all about resilience and planning."

Nick and Sarah dive deep into the upcoming general election and its implications on the property market, specifically focusing on the housing policies proposed by the main political parties in the UK.
They discuss the policies of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, highlighting the impact on property investors, and analyse the similarities and differences in the housing policies of the two major parties, emphasising the need for a long-term view in property investing amidst changing political landscapes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Conservative and Labour parties have similar housing policies, focusing on building more homes and reforming the rental sector. However, the Conservatives are less biased towards tenants compared to Labour.
- The example of rent caps in Scotland highlights how poorly thought-out policies can lead to unintended consequences, such as a 30% increase in rents. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the market dynamics before implementing regulations.
- Property investing is a long-term wealth-building strategy that requires taking a 10 to 20-year view. By buying the right type of property and understanding the market, investors can ride out short-term fluctuations and policy changes.
- Property investors need to adapt to market changes and government policies. While it's essential to stay informed and react to new regulations, having a solid understanding of the fundamentals of property investing can help navigate uncertainties.
BEST MOMENTS
"You can't officially change it I don't think. So many governments have tried to control housing, you can't, you have to let it just be as it is."
"You've got to take a free market approach, you can't, so many governments have tried to control housing, you can't, you have to let it just be as it is."
"It's a pity that the social housing market that is not the private part doesn't have to adhere to the same standards as the private rental sector."

Sarah and Nick delve into the topic of inflation in the property market on their podcast episode, and discuss how inflation can actually be a friend to property investors.
They emphasise the positive relationship between property and inflation, highlighting how inflation can lead to increased rental income and property values over time. By sharing their own experiences and insights, they aim to dispel common myths and fears surrounding inflation in the property industry.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Don't fear inflation in property investment; it can lead to increased property values and rental income.
- Utilise leverage in property investment to benefit from inflation eroding the real value of debt.
- Stay informed about swap rates and mortgage rates to secure good fixed rates with your broker.

"It's very much a long-term strategy and it doesn't happen overnight. We are talking about years of holding portfolios."
"But what it's also meant is that inflation is in the system now. And it was always going to happen if you look back at all the money that's pumped into the economy to keep it afloat during the last 10 years."
"It's a win-win. It's you get the property, the inflation erodes the real value of the debt, your equity rises as the years go through."

This time, we look into the world of property investment and explores the use of AI tools in property careers. Sarah and Nick talk about their personal experiences with AI in their property portfolios, including using AI for marketing, guest communications, and property location research. They highlight the time-saving benefits and creative structuring capabilities of AI tools, emphasising the importance of combining AI efficiency with boots-on-the-ground research and human interaction in property investing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Using AI tools like OpenAI and ChatGBT can help streamline tasks, create content, and provide valuable insights in a fraction of the time it would take manually.
AI tools can help structure ideas, brainstorm content, and provide suggestions that can spark creativity and improve the quality of work.
AI can provide valuable information and insights to help in making informed decisions, such as property investment locations, rental rates, and investment strategies.
While AI can be a powerful tool, it is essential to remember that it does not replace the need for boots-on-the-ground research, talking to people, and taking action in property investment.
Embracing AI tools, learning how to use them effectively, and continuously adapting to new technologies can help property investors stay ahead in the industry.
BEST MOMENTS
"I think it's real powerful. Property investors are saving a load of time on things like marketing, like you described. But you can be really simple."
"It's not going to help you implement it, haven't you? You've got to get off your bum, get out there."
"I use it all the time. I use it now instead of Google. I don't really Google anything anymore."
"Time efficiency is huge. And for me, in the hotel hospitality industry, the cost savings are immense."
"Hopefully, for those who haven't tried using AI in their property business, or in any business, hopefully, we've inspired you to just go on and start that process."

“The biggest advice I'd give around that subject is that your first couple of years is so incredibly difficult to get off the ground if you're starting with very little capital."
"I think the glory days of opening something up, chucking it on one of the portals and sitting back and watching that money roll in, that was a short time frame."
"If you can solve someone's problem, then there's longevity in that and everything else will come along as a result of it."

In this episode, Nick and Caroline delve into the topic of couples working together in business while maintaining romance.
They discuss the importance of having a shared vision and goals as a couple, drawing from their own experiences in property investing. The conversation touches on the challenges of balancing work and romance, as well as strategies for communication and alignment in relationships where one partner may not be fully on board with the property business
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Maintaining a shared vision and goals as a couple is crucial for working together in business and keeping the romance alive.

"I loved The Four by Scott Galloway. It really delves into Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google, and talks about their identity, their marketing, the way that they're run, and the very ethos of those companies."
"It's about lifestyle. It's not about how many properties you got or what your portfolio looks like. It's about, you know, we have one life, it can be short, you know, things can happen. You've got to make the most of it."
"So get the vision, do the reps, make the plan, get it done, do more reps."

Jordan discusses the strategic decisions and challenges he faced while turning around a distressed property in a village between Perth and Dundee

BEST MOMENTS
"I was aiming at least doing, trying to get at least 40 grand across from the flips."
"It's a really exciting time and it's hard for people to understand how much opportunities are out there when you read the media, right?"
"I bought it off market again and I've not touched it. I'm putting it back on to sell it straight away because I bought it at such a good price."
"I always like to do something a bit different to the norm, because it means that you've got that extra step ahead and you've got that jumpstart."

He explains how RoomPrice Genie helps hotels optimise their prices based on market demand, competition, and internal factors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- RoomPrice Genie is a pricing automation system that helps hotels, apartments, and short-stay rentals optimise their prices based on market demand, internal factors, and competition.
- The rise of digital nomads and remote workers is a growing trend in the industry, leading to an increased demand for flexible accommodations like apartments.

Caroline Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss various questions and topics related to property investment and management, covering issues such as handling auctions, dealing with severe down valuations from lenders, valuing HMOs, regulations in the serviced accommodation market, and window furnishings for rental properties.
Caroline also shares updates on her upcoming co-working space projects and the challenges of securing financing for unique ventures.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When participating in auctions, it is important to have the necessary deposit money ready for each lot you bid on. If you lose the bid, the money will be redeposited back into your account.
- If you experience a severe down valuation from a lender, contesting it may not be successful. It is often more effective to start a new finance process with a different lender that uses a different surveyor.
- Valuing an HMO can vary depending on location, lender, and other factors. It is important to consult with other landlords in the area and work closely with your broker to understand the valuation process.
- When dealing with a property that has a strong odour, using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar can help remove the smell
BEST MOMENTS
"There are enough deals to be had under normal buying conditions where you don't need to have those deposits sat there."
"I think take a step back and make sure that you're really talking to your broker. Try a couple of different brokers."
"I think people often ask when it's your first one and you don't have a recipe of what you did last time."
"I think it's just being a little bit more flexible, I guess. And that's one thing about being a small operator."

Nick Claydon talks to Babs Elscome, who shares her journey into property investing and how she overcame challenges along the way. As someone who works in risk management, Babs initially struggled with the idea of investing in property. However, her desire for more time with her daughter and the tangible nature of property led her to take the leap. Babs discusses her first property deal, a block of flats in Morecambe, and how she has since expanded her portfolio through creative financing and finding angel investors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Babs initially had reservations about approaching family and friends for investment, but she learned to overcome this block by networking with professionals and building trust with potential investors.
- Babs demonstrated persistence in finding opportunities, such as writing a letter to a vendor and reaching out to potential investors on social media. This persistence led to successful deals and partnerships.

Sarah Blaney interviews Ken Riley, a property investor based in York, who shares his journey in property investing, starting from his initial property purchase in 2007 to his decision to pursue property investing seriously three years ago.
He discusses the challenges he faced, including the shiny penny syndrome and the importance of focusing on a specific strategy and area. Ken also emphasises the importance of honesty, being true to oneself, and building strong relationships with investors and tenants.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Focus on consistency and mastering a few key strategies rather than trying to do everything mediocrely. This will lead to better results and success in the long run.
- Be honest and transparent in your dealings with others, whether it's investors, tenants, or business partners. Building trust and maintaining integrity is crucial in the property investing business.
- Be yourself and play to your strengths. Trying to be someone you're not or taking on tasks that you're not good at will only lead to frustration and inefficiency. Focus on what you excel at and find ways to leverage your strengths.
- Leverage other people's money and explore different funding options. Don't be afraid to take on investors or seek out creative financing solutions to fund your property investments. This can help you scale your business and achieve your financial goals faster.
BEST MOMENTS
"I was a property investor. I thought I knew it all back then because I had the one property, right?"
"I just focused on one thing, which was buy-to-lets in my home area. And then once I'd done a couple of them, I started looking at HMOs."
"I just think you just gotta be fair. Some of these people, you know, just treated unfairly from a lot of rogue landlords. And I just don't want to be known as one of those."
"I think, you know, if you're just getting started, look at the strengths you have, write all the things you want to achieve down and then manipulate them."

In this episode of the This Property Life podcast, Caroline Claydon is joined by Sarah Blaney to discuss the pros and cons of working with angel investors in the property business. They delve into the benefits for angel investors, how to find them, and how to structure agreements and interest rates.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Angel investors are private individuals with capital to lend to property investors. They are typically high net worth individuals who have money that is not being used effectively.
Finding angel investors is possible by networking and sharing your investment opportunities with others. It's important to approach them with a win-win mindset, showing them how their investment can benefit your business.
The structure of the agreement with angel investors can vary depending on the needs and preferences of both parties. This includes the amount of investment, the interest rate, and the repayment terms.
Interest rates for angel investors can range from 5% to 12%, depending on the market conditions and the specific project. It's important to offer a competitive rate that aligns with the risk and return of the investment.
Building relationships with angel investors is crucial for long-term success. Trust and credibility are key factors in attracting and retaining angel investors, and repeat investments are common when a strong relationship has been established.
BEST MOMENTS
"You're not doing them a favour. You're doing them the favour. It's a complete win-win situation."
"There's so much safety built into [property deals] because we have surveys done, we understand what the valuations are."
"This is a people business and to build relationships."
"We are quite picky about who we will do business with."
"Start your money raising pretty much on day one… building your credibility and showing that you are doing this professionally."

Caroline Claydon is joined by Kenny Campbell of Breadalbane Finance, to discuss development finance, quantity surveying, what we need to look at from an investors point of view, and what the lenders look at and expect from us.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There's no denying that times are difficult right now, and lenders and investors are twitchy and unsure. This doesn't mean that there isn't activity or opportunities to be had.
- Construction costs are rising and profit margins are being squeezed. If people own sites for development, they are in many cases being left to see what the market will do in six months' time.
- Nee developers who have done projects in the past are now looking to level up. This means that risks need to be mitigated, teams need to be built, and minimise risks in order to give yourself the best chance of getting finance.
- Just because you have finance at your fingertips doesn't mean you should snatch it and hope for the best. Look carefully at the numbers and make sure they work for you in the long term.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're in a trough that's only matched by 2008'
'A lot of people are planning and designing small projects'
'As long as there is profitability to be had, things are moving forwards!'
'There's a big psychology thing there, where people have finance in their grasp and just want to press that button'

James D'Souza is joined by Dan Fatica of DJF Asset Management, to talk about all things investing, how he transitioned from buy-to-lets to London investing, as well as how bridging operators work and how you can add this valuable tool to your investing armoury.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Every time we face a problem and fix them, we add another tool to our toolkit. Things may be hard at the outset, but they get easier with each lesson learned.
- Mastering local area knowledge is essential to making the most of where you invest. Establishing a power team and knowing the best prices to pay will allow you to move sooner and take advantage of all opportunities.
- Lettings agents are working for you. You are the client and you pay them, so there's no shame in wanting to get the best for your money.
- Understanding the valuation metrics of your chosen lenders is essential, as the more open-ended open market valuers are going to attach higher values to properties in general. If there's a higher value there, then you can borrow more.
BEST MOMENTS
'It took me so long to learn the craft'
'Solidify the learnings. Make sure you master them'
'It's all relationships!'
'Understanding which valuation metric lenders go with can be very helpful'

In this episode Ben Green discusses the property strategy he is using to drive his passion for giving back to the community and help those who most need it
The assisted and supported living strategy involves buying for demand and working with local authorities to provide homes for those who need it most and this is a great opportunity to hear about Ben’s experiences and the many elements that need to be understood and worked with to achieve successful leases that support those who need help the most
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The key is to find strong covenants the good leases that the investment funds will buy
- The people who live in our houses need ongoing support so you need to be very clear about what you are doing and aren’t doing
- There is your exit, your housing association partner and the care partners and the local authority and NHS element
- The front end work is intensive but we’ve been able to build leases that are 10-15 years long
- The local authority commissioner needs to support and sign off on the property, the money is coming from local authority housing benefit
- Our housing association is ultimately our tenant so we have to complete the property to their standards and they will give us a lease
- The tenants care package is completely separate and we are not involved in this
- The housing association partner will have a service level agreement with the care partner
- We have a funding panel in place that understand there is an institutional exit for these properties
- There are commercial valuers who have expertise and understand this market
- We had it over fully compliant and then the housing association take over the compliance
- There are many pieces to the jigsaw and the challenge is bringing all the parts together
- From a funding view it can be a far more secure tenancy if it’s set up in the right way
BEST MOMENTS
‘There’s a lot of good to be done in the sector and we spent a lot of time initially putting together the jigsaw pieces’
‘The reason we have a separate housing association, a separate care partner is to make sure our tenants are looked after’
‘We have to understand the people we are housing and every individual will have a different package. Its demand led’

James D'Souza discusses the Renter's Reform Bill 2023 - what it means, how it might affect you, and what to expect when it comes into force.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- This was first raised in the 2019 Conservative manifesto, with the aim of creating a fairer rental market for all, balancing the power between tenants and landlords.
- Rents can only be increased once per year, must be a fair figure in line with inflation, and must be a justified increase.
- Ombudsmans will be settling disputes from now on, at a cost to landlords. This forces landlords to prevent such measures being taken in the first place.
BEST MOMENTS
'Now the dust has settled, we can take a look at what those changes are'
'We want to be fair as landlords and give our tenants good homes'
'We should only provide homes we would wish to live in'

Caroline Claydon talks to Charlie Sullivan, who made great success in property for one reason - to create time and build a flexible life, allowing him to be far more present for his family. Charlie discusses the value of time, and why property is the best way to make sure we're there for the people who count in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Life doesn't have to be a series of unfulfilling jobs designed to make others happy. There is real value in striking out for yourself and making your own dreams come true.
- Tomorrow is never guaranteed. It's important to value each day, especially when it comes to those we love. Property allows us to spend far more time with them.
- We are often not as time poor as we like to think. Analyse your actual days and you will be surprised at how much time you actually have to make your ambitions happen.
BEST MOMENTS
'We had that massive reason - we wanted to sack the boss'
'Tomorrow is not guaranteed'
'We're not really tired, we just get a bit lazy sometimes, that's all'

Caroline Claydon is joined by Gary Wales, a property investor who has recently founded a property estate agency which is off to an incredible start. In this conversation, Caroline and Gary talk about how you can get the best out of working with estate agents, and how to align your different aims.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Always look for ways to build and nurture your relationship with estate agents. You'll always get time from them if you look to build and provide mutual wins.
- We can use the agent as a way to create a case to the seller, by advising the agent of the reasons why your offer might be at the place it is. When the agent relays this information to the client, it can move things along.
- Most first time buyers tend to not have everything in place when they look to purchase. An agent wants the easiest transaction possible, and allowances can be made if their job is made simpler.
BEST MOMENTS
'Ultimately you always need to be involved with the estate agent'
'It's a good time for investors to look for ways to nurture their relationships'
'You're trying to have foresight on the relationship with the agent'

Caroline Claydon talks to Andrea Carrington, one of the most renowned mentors and trainers for Property Wealth System, about the ways in which you can operate in the UK housing sector from overseas.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The main challenges faced by international investors are that a UK bank account is required, structure is needed, along with an understanding of how the property market operates.
- Guidance is the key to international investing success. Use the mentorship of those who can help you to understand the market you wish to operate within.
- You do not need to live in the country in which you wish to invest. It's more important to have a clear understanding of what you wish to achieve by doing so.
- You do not need your own money in order to start investing. Find investors and guarantee a return that works for both of you.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're all about the international angle'
'There are quite a few challenges, but they are all fixable'
'Having the right guidance is key'
'It's the company that creates the credit profile'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Lindsey Kane, who designed and built a property business to give herself and her father the freedom to make their own choices in life, as well as security for the future. Lindsey talks about how she turned her experience into practical use, and how she is now following her passions into other areas of business and investing as a result.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is a power to be found in diversity. If we're stuck doing the same things day in and day out, then it can lead to a mental malaise. This is one of the main reasons why people make the leap to property investing.
- When we take charge of our own destiny, it does not just lead to financial benefits. It also gives us confidence and imbues us with power.
- When we put ourselves into uncomfortable positions, it can make us feel awkward, but this sensation will pass. On the other side of that awkwardness comes real growth.
- Make sure that your team works as a group and with the sole aim of collectively succeeding. When you yoke the strengths of many, you empower each one of you.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's given us the confidence to do many other things'
'I enjoyed getting out there and meeting people'
'I wanted flexibility. I wanted to build something for myself'
'If I'd know then what I know now, it would have changed my life'

Caroline Claydon is joined by property investor, Mandy Allsopp, who talks about her property journey, why flipping properties has become her go-to strategy, the power of education and experience, and how she has successfully transformed her life into one that allows her to set her own rules in life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Property is one of the most well-respected and proven forms of investment, and has become something of an aspirational way to grow and build money.
- The best way of learning about which strategies work for you, is to jump in and see. Certain strategies won't be for everyone.
- Never discount the power of education. Keeping your knowledge base at a tip top level will allow you to pounce on any opportunity.
- Angel investors should always be well managed, kept informed through transparency, and agreements set in specially designed contracts. This prevents any awkwardness and allows them to be able to feel like more of a part of the deal.
BEST MOMENTS
'I was quite keen to tap into my love of property'
'My love of property goes way back'
'It gave me the confidence to make a real go of it'

Property investing is certainly a people business, so how can we make sure that we're effectively building relationships that can boost our chances of success?
In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to Andy Swann, who has an extensive relationship-building background having come from the military, about the ways in which we can negotiate ourselves away from danger towards life-changing, successful results.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Inspiration for how big you can go and where you can reach, can be found all around us. Keep your eyes open and be motivated by the achievements of others.
- Many are worried about offering too low and somehow offending the estate agents by doing so. Overcoming this fear is important as we should always be aiming for the best deal for us.
- Rapport is essential when you want to initiate a negotiation It is definitely worth building as soon as possible. Use active listening as much as possible and note down your best chances of input.
- The vendor will always have an agenda of their own, and it's important that they feel as though they achieve it. Doing a property deal is not a one way street.
BEST MOMENTS
'We explored where you can go and how big you can go'
'You can't just jump into a conversation and expect to get what you want'
'We're not waiting to talk, we are actively listening. We're writing notes'
'What's key is giving the vendor what they want'

The term "angel investors" is used constantly in the world of property investing, but what are they, and more importantly, how can you make them a part of your investing journey? In this episode, Caroline and James tell you everything you need to know.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Angel investors don't tend to come to you. You have to get out there and find them for yourself. Once you do, your property journey will be dramatically accelerated.
- Angel investors are looking for ways to make their money work harder for them. We, as property investors, can offer a far better return than traditional banks or interest rates.
- The world of money is on everyone's mind right now due to the cost of living and the fragile economy. People are actively seeking help.
- You must treat angel investors as joint venture partners. You must look to create a win win situation for both you and your investor.
BEST MOMENTS
'Private investor is a much better way to describe them'
'They're looking for a safer way to get their money working as well'
'Now is a fantastic time to be doing this'
'You're actually offering a service they desperately need'

In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to property investor, Jesper Frederiksen, who discusses the ways in which he has made the most of former bank buildings, turning them into residential units that produce huge wins for his property portfolio.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In 2021, new measures were introduced, designed to transform high streets into a mixture of retail and residential. As banks are shuttering, there is now potential to turn these large unused units into housing.
- Bridging finance was sorely affected in the wake of COVID lockdowns, meaning rates changed dramatically. This has thankfully tempered and settled now.
- Pick your strategy and stick with it, rather than changing tack halfway. This will ensure that you are resolute and fixed upon a specific goal.
- Never discount the power of an effective power team. They can help you out when the challenges mount up, and see you through most setbacks.
BEST MOMENTS
'It was challenging, but we stuck to it'
'Have a good team!'
'Bringing an old building back to life brings us a lot of satisfaction'

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Education is the key to making the most out of property. Using the right strategy at the right time will enable you to be able to move on any opportunity.
- If you have a clear vision of what is possible, and look for the point you want to reach, then it'll help you when the challenges grow in front of you.
- It's okay to feel overwhelmed at the beginning, but if you stick to your chosen strategy and keep moving forward, you will find success.
- Always make sure that everyone you know is aware of what you do and how you can help them. Investing is a two way street - you will both benefit, and you never know who is sitting on money that could be working for them in a better way.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's grown very quickly over the years'
'We've learned a hell of a lot along the way'
'It's only when you take a step back that can see how far we've come'

This week, Caroline and James discuss the recent budget announcements and how they might impact the property market, and your investing journey going forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Economical and budgetary decisions taken by the government are out of our control. It's always best to optimise our plans in accordance with what's announced as we cannot control these decisions.
- In order to encourage people to return to work they are adjusting childcare benefits, but many may ask why they should return to work simply to pay for children to be taken care of while they do so.
- Old school mentality states that we should work hard throughout life, pay off mortgages and only enjoy life when we're old. There needs to be another way.
- Pension pots are largely unsustainable due to the fact that people don't save into them until it's far too late. We need to start conserving money sooner in life
BEST MOMENTS
'These are things that are out of our control'
'They always give with one hand and take away with the other'
'They've flip-flopped around with corporation tax quite a lot'

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza discuss the best time to begin your investing journey when it comes to property, and if it's sometimes wiser to wait for certain market conditions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You can't ever hope to know when prices will be at the perfect point in time. Ultimately, if you have the right mindset and play for the long results, it doesn't matter when you buy.
- Property prices will inevitably grow over time, so there is never a long-term place in time that'll be perfect.
- When looking at a market, always take a glance at the sentiment - the general feeling around lending and property as an investment model.
BEST MOMENTS
'Is there a perfect time be buying property?'
'Never have we taken our foot off the gas'
'If you have the ability to invest in property, it'll be safer now than ten or fifteen years ago'

Many find themselves put off the property investing route for fear that will not be able to raise the money needed to get started, but in this episode, Caroline Claydon explain the ways in which you can get going using other people's money, and where to find it!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being an entrepreneur or an investor is never about having money to play with. It does come into play, but that's further down the road.
- We're conditioned from a young age to think that we need money before we act, but we need to un-peel this thinking when it comes to business.
- Take a look at your financial reputation and adjust your strategy accordingly. If lending is required to fulfil it, and you can't get lending, then you need another strategy.
- There are people out there who have money stored away and who are looking for a better return. You can help these people - you just need to find them.
BEST MOMENTS
'Money is the least important element behind a lot of businesses or investments'
'Look at what you're trying to achieve, along with the strategy you'll use to get there'
'We need to choose that meets your circumstances. From there we choose our investment area'

Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza review the last few months in property - the challenges they've faced and overcome, and the positivity and opportunity being sought as a result.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

In this episode, Mark shares a previous Facebook live session where Emily Smith and
Chris O’Hare discuss the best ways to use social media to raise angels
Social media is woven into the fabric of our lives and with impressive portfolios based on angel finance Emily and Chris share great content that will help you not only get started but successfully raise the right angel finance for your next project
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Pick your target and make your message specific to them, it’s about their need, when you are writing for Facebook ask yourself what it is that they need
- Before you need the money from day one you need to be sharing what you are doing as it builds up a track record of your credibility
- I never start a conversation I sow seeds and they ask questions and that gives me permission to start talking about it, there isn’t a hard sell
- In a world where people don’t talk about money, when they’re ready you can’t stop them from talking about it they’ll tell you the ins and outs of their financial situation, it’s getting them to the point where they feel relaxed and comfortable
- My social media is all curated around if this makes me a better or worse investment for angels, authenticity is key, you need to find your voice and be consistent and convincing over time
BEST MOMENTS
‘They might need to see two or three go past them, to be “I’m really missing out here”
‘If you have a network then the money is there, look at the people around you’
‘To build credibility and trust you need to be visible on social media’
‘If you’ve got a pipeline of offers you need to have a pipeline of angels’

Mark Winship is joined once more by Emily Smith to talk about the ethics of a direct-to-vendor strategy, and how to construct deals that provide positive winning outcomes for all sides.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Using the direct-to-vendor strategy should not be synonymous with exploitation. You need to look for ways to provide positive outcomes for all sides.
- Direct-to-vendor deals are deals and sales found directly, bypassing agents and cutting out the middle man that is usually involved in sales.
- The base things you need in order to go direct-to-vendor are business cards or something that has your details upon it, and some sort of letter (handwritten if possible) setting out your intentions.
BEST MOMENTS
'The vast majority of people still believe that the only way to buy property is through an agent'
'What direct-to-vendor gives you is flexibility'
'You need to have something that states what you're looking for, and why you're looking for it'

Mark Winship talks to Emily Smith about the popular 'flip' strategy - buying a property, improving it, and selling on for a profit. The team also cover the keys to a successful flip, and whether they work in any market cycle.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Often it takes a broader perspective in order to recognise the best way of generating value from a property. Flips can often be the best way to maximise returns.
- The cash generated from flips are a fantastic resource to support the other strategies you may be using as an investor.
- If you are planning to self-manage, you need to be clear about the roles your team will be expected to oversee and perform.
- Staging is an aspect that many forget about when flipping. properties are far easier to sell if the buyer can visualise.
BEST MOMENTS
'I like to keep it very clear cut'
'Get the deal done, pay them back and move on to the next deal'
'That cash strategy gives you options'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks about the importance of self-care, why we should recognise ourselves as our most important asset, and why a regular injection of positivity and encouragement is vital in optimising our success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many investors forget that property is only a tool that generates income. We are, in fact, the most important component in our business and we need to take care of ourselves.
- Always be kind to yourself, and look after yourself. See yourself as a tool that needs care and replenishment from time to time.

'We are the biggest income generating asset in our business'
'You are really vital to your business's success'
'With chaos comes opportunities'

Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon and Ryan Rogers, to discuss investing in Scotland - from the many attractive opportunities that can be had north of the border, as well as the key differences you need to be aware of when it comes to maximising your profits and investment potential.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is a dramatic rise in uniformity between properties in Scotland, but there is also a marked demand for social housing. Investing in flats and apartments can mean solid rental returns.
- Gazumping is allowed in Scotland, but it is greatly frowned upon and can have a huge impact upon your reputation.
- Exchanging contracts and completing is not done in Scotland - instead missives are signed. This becomes a legally biding contract from which neither party can extract themselves.
- The entire process of doing the deal is far more streamlined and takes weeks rather than the months we are used to in England.
BEST MOMENTS
'There's a very strong demand for social housing in Scotland'
'You can literally buy property in Scotland while sitting on a beach on the other side of the world'
'You can put in verbal offers without a solicitor'
'Just get that process started. Once the offer's accepted, then go and chat to your solicitor'

Mark Winship is joined by Asaad Tariq to discuss the pros and cons in investing in industrial warehouse and storage space strategy - a strategy that is extraordinarily niche, but which if handled correctly can prove incredibly successful.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The industrial market is one of the most bulletproof around, and is affected way less than residential in many cases. This alone makes it a powerful strategy.
- With the rise of eCommerce and the shift in the way we shop for goods, there has been an exponential increase in demand for storage space and warehousing facilities.
- The biggest factor in commercial is that it doesn't matter if you're new, a serious investor, or an angel investor - if your money is put into industrial or commercial, you always need to make sure your debt-to-charge ratio is over 25%.
BEST MOMENTS
'They need warehousing. Their sellers need warehousing. We're there to supply that'
'We're basically piggybacking off these big boys!'
'If the deals work, success will come to you'

Mark Winship is joined by Sarah Blaney, for a discussion all about hotels, and the ups and downs of this exciting property strategy, as well as operational challenges, and what they both love about playing "real life Monopoly"
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Quality means the world in hotel investing strategy. Repeat business is essential in creating a concern that runs almost automatically, plus it saves on the time you'll have to spend in attracting new clients.
- In order to get the best out of any property strategy, you need to surround yourself with people who've been there and done it.
- Services that advertise hotels are invaluable, so never be afraid of costs involved. They are worth every penny in helping people to find you.
BEST MOMENTS
'To have that repeat business is really important'
'Expectations of service are higher when it comes to a hotel'
'Word of mouth marketing seems to play as much more of a factor'

Mark Winship is joined once more by Jerry Alexander, to discuss the complex issue of risk management - how it can manifest itself in property, and how the ways we manage it can play a huge role in how we choose to invest.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Too many people look at risk too simplistically. It is a complex issue and needs a broad perspective. We need to step back and see how the multifaceted aspects of risk can trickle down to other areas.
- When we take a risk, sometimes it opens up new pathways in which risk may enter, such as insurance or liability. We need to be constantly aware.
- It's worth taking time to work out contingency plans, so that we may embark upon differing forms of strategy and tactics.
- Risk management is not about ignoring risks. it's about recognising and analysing the risks and then taking steps to mitigate.
BEST MOMENTS
'What are the consequences of NOT doing something?'
'If that eventuality then this is my mitigating step'
'How much is it influenced by the person and not the situation?'
'Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's what you do in response to fear'

Mark Winship is joined by James D'Souza to talk about the most common reasons or blocks that prevent people from making progress towards their property goals.
We've also got a special announcement regarding our 100th episode, which will be airing on the 7th November - stay tuned for your chance to win two free tickets to the Property Wealth System 3 Day Intensive Property Training Programme - a prize worth £2000!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some people like the idea of property, but when they try it, or learn more, they decide that it isn't for them. If this is you, then don't feel bad. This is absolutely fine!
- Education should be viewed as an ongoing thing. There's always more you can learn. Don't assume that you can know everything in no time at all.
- People think that having no money up front is a stumbling block. But there are many strategies that require no money down, and there are creative ways of attracting investors.
BEST MOMENTS
'For some people, property just is not for them'
'It's a combination of lack of money and lack of self-belief that stops people'
'Sometimes it's knowledge born out of lack of knowledge'
'There's never a wrong time to buy property so long as you're doing it in the right way'

Mark Winship and Caroline Claydon discuss the art of outsourcing, including which tasks should be outsourced in life and business, how to recruit and train a great virtual assistant, and how to buy back time in your life by changing your mindset towards routine tasks.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- No one is naturally comfortable with outsourcing at the beginning. As human beings, we are a little untrusting that anyone else can do as good a job as we can.
- Learning to outsource efficiently is the best way of buying back your time, so that you can spend it working on high value tasks, and the important things in life.
- Surround yourself with like-minded people, and take your cues from the way they manage time. More often than not, they will devote themselves to the vital things, and outsource the mundane tasks.
- A virtual assistant will only be as good as the training we provide, so training them in something that we know well is a great starting point.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's easy to fall into the trap of working in your business when you should be working on your business'
'None of us got into the property adventure in order to create an extra full time, stressful job for ourselves'
'It's easy to get sucked into speaking to utility companies, or sorting out the council tax'
‘There are so many useful people out there, who are desperate to take on things we can do’

Mark Winship is joined by Andrea Carrington and James Horgan, to talk about your own home and the important role that it can play in helping you to achieve your property investment goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Making sure that you stay abreast of the many strategies at hand in property, is crucial to utilising the right method at the right time.
- Using bridging loans can often be quite expensive. Freeing up equity in your own home means a far cheaper way of raising the finance you need to complete a deal.
- Your own home is an investment. You are consuming your own home. It's always worth using this investment asset in order to make your money work as hard as possible for you.
BEST MOMENTS
'Education is the key'
'I have no qualms about using the equity in my house'
'Your own home can be more of a liability than an asset. It costs you money'

Mark Winship is joined by Ryan Rogers, to talk about why there's no need to panic in the wake of the Conservative mini-budget, as well as advice to investors about how best to proceed in the current market without being too distracted by the chaos created by the media.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When upheavals occur in the market, it's always wise to stop and wait for the ensuing chaos to die down before making any rash decisions. Often, we discover that the panic is just that, and things aren't as bad as they seem.
- We are looking to be heading into a recession, but that doesn't always mean negativity for investors. This can provide opportunities for positive investment.
- Take care of the things that are definitely within your control, always stick to the actual facts rather than speculation, and look at potential savings in your portfolio.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're not reacting to the panic'
'If we do have to pivot on certain strategies, that's fine'
'Take the fear out of it, focus on the facts, and go back to what you can control'

The show returns, and in this episode Mark Winship talks to Gill and Darren Green, to tell us all about their latest commercial investment project - everything from they raised the necessary finance and the strategies involved, to how the project progressed from the start.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Choosing the correct area is essential, especially when it comes to commercial development. It's about identifying a need and supplying a commercial solution for that area.
- One of the defining characteristics that all property developers need to embrace is the ability to adapt to any challenge.
- A background in residential development is not necessary when it comes to commercial, but it can help. The various strategies involved can be similar, such as buy-to-let.
- It's always worth working on the installation of essential services from the very beginning of the deal, instead of waiting till near completion. Time scales and estimates can sometimes take much longer than you think.
BEST MOMENTS
'We felt there was a growing market for small office space'
'We've got a passion for it!'
'Regulation is something people fear'
'It's more about having that foundation'

Mark Winship and his wife, Caroline, discuss their latest venture together - a hotel development - and the many insights and nuggets of wisdom they've accumulated through taking the project from the deal stage to operation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Harnessing the power of a team is essential in getting the best from a deal. Other people have strengths that all add up to a more efficient, powerful force for each deal you make.
- You always achieve more if you do your due diligence before you embark on a deal. Identifying your target market is the key to maximising the potential of a deal.
- It's entirely possible to complete a deal without using any of your own money. This is the power of networking, of meeting with investors who are looking for a healthier return than they can get from the high street.
BEST MOMENTS
'We understood from the get-go, what our target market was going to be'
'It's so important to visit - to walk these places and get a feel for them'
'Not a penny of our own money went into the purchase of this property'

This week, the team present a very special audio version of a Facebook Live Event from 2021, in which Rick Blaney talks to Chris O'Hare about a broad range of property investing-related topics, with questions submitted live from an audience keen to hear the answers.
KEY TAKEAWAYS If you're a driven person, then nothing on earth will stop you from achieving your goals. Property investing allows you to create life on your own terms. In property it's wise to have a "why" - a purpose that pushes you on to do better and achieve more. Without a true "why", you can easily lose focus. Consistency is key. Small steps each day, that move you incrementally towards your goals, are what will make or break your property journey. But this requires discipline. Make sure you're not just focussing on a single strategy. Spread your interests and take advantage of different strategies. This will mitigate the risks that may arise when a single strategy faces challenge.
BEST MOMENTS
'Property has totally changed my life'
'You'll find all shapes and sizes when it comes to property investing'
'You have to follow the system, and you will get there'
'It's all about risk mitigation'

This week, Mark Winship revisits his conversation with Alex and Blair Collie, a father-and-son team who operate Barras Property, with a particular focus on Rent-To-Buy, and how this strategy has taken them to new heights in 2020.
Alex and Blair also discuss the many highlights of working as a family unit, and how to combat negativity on social media.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Many enter the world of property investment in the hopes of providing some sort of nest egg for the future. Property is one of the surest ways in which to provide this passive income throughout life. Property investment allows us to take control of our own destinies instead of relinquishing that control to someone else. Knowledge and determination are the keys to unlocking this destiny. There are so many different strategies out there to allow us to acquire and monetise property. Many are not aware of these various methods. Education is paramount. Many are turned down for various reason when it comes to mortgages. This leads to a feeling of being trapped. Rent-To-Buy is a way of releasing people from that feeling and allowing them the freedom to become homeowners.
BEST MOMENTS
'I never thought I would that this would become an accelerated plan, and that I would become a property investor'
'I understand how to leverage time, other people's money and knowledge and network. Education was absolutely everything'
'They have the pride that this is their home'
'It's amazing how many genuine opportunities there are to help people'

This week, Caroline Claydon and her husband Nick, take the reins of the podcast to discuss the all-important question of how best to work together as a couple, especially in the high-pressure world of property investing, and how best to ensure that your relationship survives the many challenges you may find along the way.
KEY TAKEAWAYS A relationship with your partner is one thing, but a working relationship with your partner is something entirely different. There are things you can't possibly know until you start working together. Each person has their own strengths, and it's wise to allow each other to use those in the working relationship you build. Dialogue is important. Issues that remain buried are bound to cause problems later on. It's far better to give these issues the oxygen they need in order to remove them from contention.
BEST MOMENTS
'You have to navigate not just starting a business together, but also keeping your relationship on track at the same time'
'You have to see what each party brings to the table and play to those strengths'
'It's about growing and developing as you go'

With so many varying opinions about the property market, it can be difficult to know when exactly to take the leap and start investing. In this episode Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon to bust the myths, and discuss the best time for you to start on your property journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Recessions and crashes are often the product of the media themselves. By instilling a negative belief in the populace, they cause the problems to occur. The worst time to buy isn't when prices are rising. It is when the market has peaked, but this can often only be seen in retrospect. The basic principles of investing will work in any market climate. We need to buy, add value, and then leverage this new value to generate a profit.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's very noisy in the marketplace'
'Even if the market is going up, that doesn't make it a bad time to buy'
'The people that want to hear the predictions are the ones who aren't doing it'

Mark Winship is joined by property investor and developer, Rob Ravilious, to discuss the fascinating projects he's been working on, and the inspiring journey of his story so far in the world of property investing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS We can't possibly know everything, so surrounding yourself with the right people - your power team - can enhance your strengths and patch your weaknesses. Finding the right balance in life is essential to happiness and productivity. If you lose sight of your "why" then it makes the work much harder. Opportunities come from everywhere. The best of the best are the ones who can take any situation and find the opportunity that lies there.
BEST MOMENTS
'Everyone thought we were mad!'
'We've put our heart and soul into it'
'You need to understand the fundamentals of each role'

Mark Winship is joined by Alan Cadden from Cavetta Consulting, to discuss the all-important topic of capital allowances. Many view tax information as somewhat dry, but as Mark and Alan explain, the amount of money you could be saving through capital allowances can often be staggering to investors. Listen as the "best kept secret in property" is discussed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Capital allowances apply to fixtures and fittings for commercial properties. HMRC are willing to give an allowance for anything that degrades in these properties over time. Your alternative to NOT claiming for capital allowances is to pay more to HMRC. This is the simple fact of the matter. Only 30% of commercial property investors claim capital allowances. Capital allowance claims can be used on properties such as hotels, let apartments, serviced accommodations, so long as the property is not a primary residence.
BEST MOMENTS
'Capital allowances are the best kept secret in property'
'If you do this in the first couple of years this can be very advantageous'
'Landlords can be sat on situations where they can maximise their profits, and increase return on investment'

Mark Winship is joined by Emily Smith to discuss the important topic of valuations, the attaining of which can be the crucial factor in the success of your buy-refurbish-refinance strategy. In this Mark and Emily share some practical tips on how to gauge the finished value of a property while calculating a deal's potential, how to make the bank valuation process more favourable, and how to handle the dreaded down valuation...
KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to think with the end in mind. We need to envision the potential in any project before we take it on. As investors we minimise risk by investing only in projects that we have evidence for. These are known as comparables, and can provide some sense of guidance on how a deal may work out. Other forms of assurance can come through agents. This means that developing relationships with agents can be crucial in fundamentally understanding the potential in a deal.
BEST MOMENTS
'We need to start with the end in mind'
'If you can have 2+ comparables, you'll be in the best position'
'I always ask for more than I want'

Caroline Claydon talks to Dr Ana Attlee, who stumbled upon property as a way to save the planet, and who used investment to leave her job just five months later! While juggling motherhood and building a business on the side, Dr Ana built an impressive portfolio of properties, and in today's show, Ana talks about how she overcame her lack of self-confidence, and used the guidance of others to help propel herself upwards in both business and property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Success comes through commitment. Financial backing, and lack of knowledge are things that can be overcome. We must have the will to succeed. Mentors can help to guide us through the tough periods, when our determination seems to be failing. To know that someone has been there before, and that they managed to push through, can mean the difference between success and failure. Do your best to make sure that you have some kind of presence, so that potential investors can see who you are and what you can do. We need to recognise that different people work with different property strategies. Just because something doesn't work for us, doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
BEST MOMENTS
'By January, I had made more money than I had ever made in all my life'
'It's all about the mindset behind the idea'
'It starts to get more and more heartbreaking, to give these amazing houses away!'
'I am really lucky to have built myself a passive income'

Mark Winship is joined by Emily Smith to discuss the commonly-held myth that debt is bad. As they discuss, debt isn't always a bad thing, and may require an adjustment when it comes to mindset...
KEY TAKEAWAYS Changing our mindset about money isn't just a property issue. It should be a business issue. Money is a tool, and some debt can be far more useful than constantly saving in order to invest. There is a systemic belief that life should be spent saving, mortgages should be paid off, and debt should be avoided at all costs. Good debt is manageable debt that we take on in order to provide assets that subsequently provide income and generate assets for life.
BEST MOMENTS
'We are told that debt is a bad thing'
'The issue stems from a lack of financial education'
'Debt to fund your lifestyle is bad'

Mark Winship is joined by Michelle Wales to talk about all things staging and interior design, and how you can add value to any property through careful use of design sensibilities and deliberate arrangements.
Ina competitive market, it's vital that you find ways to make your properties stand out, and in this episode, the team tell you exactly how to do it!
KEY TAKEAWAYS Making your property look more attractive will enable any of your chosen strategies to work, from direct sale aims to rentals and SA. The UK market has always been perceived as a hot one where anything sells. The point of staging is to make your offering stand out. Staging doesn't just mean enhancing the visual element, but also attracting the other sense, such as smell, hearing and tactile sensations. The ideal scenario is to present an idealised version of the space we would like to live in. If we can achieve this, then we greatly increase our chances to make a deal.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's all about adding value'
'People are realising that staging is something you have to do'
'Staging exists in every property you see'

Mark Winship is joined by Chris O'Hare and Natalie D'Souza, to bust one of the most longstanding myths in property: that making money in the field is "easy". As the team discuss, the property market can often be beset by those wishing to give a false impression of the rewards on offer, but armed with the right knowledge and education, it can be simple to spot the real opportunities and make your mark!
KEY TAKEAWAYS The best route into property investing is to cut out the promises, the noise and the distractions, and focus on the clear goals ahead. No one thing is difficult when it comes to property, but the key to success lies in consistency and perseverance. The work required in order to get up and running can seem daunting and overwhelming at first, but once the education is gained, the systems and processes put in place, it does get easier as time goes on.
BEST MOMENTS
'The biggest thing for me was to cut out lots of the noise'
'Be single-minded about it'
'You only know what you know'

Mark Winship is joined by Andrea Carrington, to talk about skyrocketing energy bills, how the new cost of them could directly impact your property investing strategy, and how you can best mitigate them in order to keep your cashflow on an even keel.
KEY TAKEAWAYS As landlords, we should always try to mitigate the costs of energy in our properties, and always try to keep on top of costs and expenses where possible. Putting rents up to counter the effects of energy rises is a reasonable solution, so long as we don't overdo it. We must remember that our tenants are also on budgets. Our first port of call should be communication with the tenants. We must have a dialogue about the ways in which we can save money by cutting unnecessary costs, and help them to understand why it matters.
BEST MOMENTS
'Energy efficiency is more important than ever'
'We're in the mix with everyone else, trying to figure this out'
'This is unprecedented and it impacts on everybody'

Mark Winship is joined by Caroline Claydon, to shatter the myth that you should only ever invest in property for capital growth. Mark and Caroline talk about why these beliefs may be outdated in the world of today, and why other considerations should be taken in to account.
KEY TAKEAWAYS The traditional wisdom suggests that money can only be made in property through achieving capital growth, but there are many more strategies out there now that can provide long-term passive income, which in many ways in far more valuable. Making money from property should always align with your goals. If you require an exit, then taking thre capital growth may be right for you, but if a steady, passive income is required, then other strategies maybe more suitable. Property is, and always has been, a long term investment. Peaks and troughs may happen, but history tells us that in the end, value always increases. We need to be patient, and not fazed by the fluctuations. The best way of overcoming doubts and fears in property is to surround ourselves with those on the same path. It can provide accountability, and also reassurance at the right times.
BEST MOMENTS
'Property is underpinned by some really hard-wearing generational beliefs'
'It comes down to your goals and what you're trying to achieve'
'This is get-rich-for-sure rather than get-rich-quick'
'Having the courage to forge your own path is key'

Mark Winship is joined by Jill Green, to talk about mindset, mental strength, and why breaking out of your comfort zone might just unlock the key to impactful and lasting success in your property journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS We must be open to new challenges and start become comfortable with being more uncomfortable. If we resist change then we grow far more slowly. If you stay in your comfort zone, you won't do anything. We must remember that taking the leap into property is a step outside of our comfort zone in the first place. No journey is perfect. It is okay to hit a challenge and take time to overcome it. Also, we can take this journey in the company of other, more experienced minds. Never be afraid to ask for help.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're always pushing ourselves to move on to the next strategy'
'You need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable'
'Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer'

Mark Winship is joined by Jerry Alexander to discuss the all-important topic of which property strategy is best to use at the start of your investing journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS The amount of strategies available can be daunting at first, but if we carefully boil down our own limits, and examine our goals, the natural choice presents itself. If you spread yourself too thin, it can be a costly mistake. Focus on one strategy to begin with - refine it - and then experiment with more. Always remember that our chosen strategies require experimentation. Never be afraid to admit that a strategy doesn't work for you. You can pivot and change whenever you want.
BEST MOMENTS
'You start going down the rabbit hole and suddenly realise that there are so many ways to go'
'It's important that you really get that momentum going'
'Sometimes we put ourselves under too much pressure'

This week, Mark Winship introduces another deal diary, this time focussing upon a Rent-To-Serviced Accommodation project, the insights of which could well inspire those out there who wish to make an income from property, but who don't necessarily have a great deal of money to invest.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Rent-to-SA is essentially a Rent-To-Rent strategy where a property is rented from a private landlord for a sum each month. This property is then operated as serviced accommodation. The Rent-to-SA allows anyone, regardless of financial capability, to begin investing and working int he property market. Never discount the power of networking and talking to others. Opportunities can arise from unexpected places, people and conversations.
BEST MOMENTS
'It can be a fantastic strategy'
'This shows the power of networking'
'Talking people is where you uncover opportunities'

Mark Winship is joined by Jordan Kynoch to discuss the issue of saturated markets. Many in the mainstream media are proclaiming that certain markets are now saturated, and in this episode, Mark and Jordan discuss what this means from an investor point of view, how to stand out in a market, and how to diversify your portfolio to mitigate against the risks of changing conditions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Market saturation is a buzz-phrase that puts many off when it comes to investment areas. But there are always strategies that can be used if regulations arise from councils wishing to push back against saturation. Diversifying your portfolio and deploying varying strategies, will allow you to circumvent many of the issues arising from saturation. Investors want to gain confidence from knowing that other people in the area are using the same strategy. But at the same time, we don't want to feel as though we're entering an area with this, too late.
BEST MOMENTS
'Saturation is something to be aware of but it doesn't scare me or worry me'
'I've diversified my portfolio quite a lot across the types of strategies I'm doing'
'Do your research, and don't take someone's word for it'

Mark Winship talks to Jodie Vickery, who only started investing in property at the end of 2021, but who has since then successfully begun to build a mighty property empire. Jodie discusses the importance of routine and productivity, how to be creative with your direct-to-vendor strategy, and how commitment to action can produce extraordinary results.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing is a route to security. Investing in the bricks and mortar of property is one of the safest bets we can make with our time and money. Building relationships is key to kickstarting your property journey. We should also endeavour to let as many people as possible know what we do, so that they can bring opportunities to us when they arise. Mentors keep us grounded and accountable, while also demonstrating what can be possible if we apply ourselves and the lessons we learn.
BEST MOMENTS
'I focussed on what I could so rather than what I couldn't do'
'People can see the track record. It's a proven concept'
'The momentum after the mentorship was amazing'

This week, a panel of experts, including Mark Winship, Paul Murray and Jerry Alexander, to discuss the opportunity that exists in investing in commercial property, including the sub-strategies that can make this one of the more exciting areas of investment!
KEY TAKEAWAYS Commercial property does require a different mind-set, but also shares many similarities to residential in terms of broader strategy. It is in the sub-strategies that the differences really occur. The commercial space is, in many ways, easier than residential as the level of competition in the space is greatly reduced. By gaining a better understanding of a geographical area, and then breaking it down into spaces to serve demand, then the search for potential opportunities becomes much easier. A large preconception is that commercial property is a far more advanced strategy that should only be tackled if you have considerable experience. A basic knowledge of residential investing will help to an extent, but there is nothing stopping you from starting in commercial immediately. Approach with caution and educate yourself!
BEST MOMENTS
'Some talk about commercial as though it is a strategy. No - it's a whole new pantheon!'
'Once you know what you're doing, it's so much easier to find a strategy that suits'
'The opportunities are amazing'
'The business model is finding knackered buildings at a really good price and developing them into a space that people need - now!'

Mark Winship is joined by Michelle Wales to bust another commonly held myth about property investing. Many seem to believe that they can properly equip themselves with all the knowledge they need by simply visiting YouTube, but as the team explain, there's far more to property knowledge than we may initially believe...
KEY TAKEAWAYS Much of the comments and advice on social media, are to the effect that formal education is not necessary when it comes to property investing. This is an outdated viewpoint. Depending on your ambitions in property, simple tips and guidelines are definitely available through common means. But for the more specialist education, it is imperative that quality education is obtained. Freely available information is always best viewed as supplemental - a guiding beacon towards more quality guidance. Regulations, guidelines and legal matters are persistently evolving. Social media postings and YouTube videos tend to remain posted long after the information is out of date, potentially leading to trouble for you in the long run, should you adhere to it.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you want to grow and scale a business as a professional property investor, then it takes it to another realm'
'There's almost a negative view on education online'
'We draw the definition between amateur and professional investment'
'The challenge with all the information out there is that it's essentially unregulated, un-vetted, and potentially out of date'

Mark Winship, Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza discuss all things sourcing and working with sourcing agents, including how and when they should be used, how to find a good one, and how to source on your own deals to other people.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Experiences with sourcing agents are known to be mixed. Regulations have tightened the way they can operate, and new investors are better protected against high fees and terms and conditions. A good quality sourcing agent will be finding you off-market deals as opposed to simply plucking properties for sale from a website and negotiating on your behalf. Deal sourcing is the art of not just finding a property for sale, but doing the due diligence involved in turning it into a viable deal that can make you money. It's about seeing the potential in a property and packaging that potential into the initial sale
BEST MOMENTS
'The more you progress, the better quality deal you're then looking for'
'There's a difference between a deal, and a property for sale'

Mark Winship is joined by Jill Green and Natalie D'Souza to bust the myth that money can't be raised due to your not knowing anyone with a fortune stashed away somewhere. As the team explain, we must change our mindset when it comes to money, how to grow your network of contacts, and how important it is to never assume anything when it comes to the financial circumstances of those you approach.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Many assume that the only route into property is to save the money yourself for years, and then purchase a house, save for more years, and repeat the process. This is not how it works at all. We are often brought up not to talk about money. This means that a mindset change is required in order to leverage other people's money. The person you've approached may not be the one with cash reserves, but often they will know someone who does. Offer them an incentive, and you may be surprised at the connections you can make.
BEST MOMENTS
'You can invest other people's money. It doesn't have to be your money'
'I've had to change my whole perspective'
'You don't need to have a little black book of millionaires'

Mark Winship is joined by Hus and Harpreet From Red Cedar Homes, who are only just starting out on their property journey, but who are in the midst of great momentum. Hus and Harpreet share their journey so far, and explain how they've accelerated their dealmaking skills and strategies in such a short period of time.
KEY TAKEAWAYS There is much work to do in order to find your area and refine your strategy, but once the deals start to come in, they tend to come in very quickly. Persistence is key. Sometimes the odds may seem like they are stacked against us, but if we push onwards, the results will come. Investing may seem daunting, but once we begin, we find our own rhythm. Each problem solved is a lesson learned. We carry these forward into our future deals and become stronger.
BEST MOMENTS
'It keeps you going. You ride that wave'
'It's all about self-belief'
'There is a confidence-growing process'

For this special Panel Show edition of the podcast, Mark Winship is joined by Sarah Blaney and Angela Carrington, for a frank discussion about the economy itself, including rising energy prices, increasing interest rates, inflation, cost of materials, and the implications for property investors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS We should not be afraid to explore new ways of making tenants feel that much more accountable for energy costs. Now that they have hit record levels, it is incumbent upon us to look for ways of reigning in costs. Historically, there has always been an anti-landlord sentiment, as though they are seen as bad guys. But the reality is that landlords are constantly facing the juggling of costs in order to provide win-wins for themselves and for the tenants. As professional investors, we should always aim to maintain our knowledge base around economic issues so that we do not give in to knee jerk reactions when costs spike.
BEST MOMENTS
'It makes sense for us to address some of the issues in the economy at the moment'
'It does have genuine implications for any strategy that encompasses "All Bills Included"'
'We have to try, where possible, to stay ahead of the curve'

Mark Winship is joined by Jordan Kynoch, to discuss ways to solve that most common of problems - how to keep a refurbishment project on budget, including the insightful and practical lessons that both Mark and Jordan have learned during their own refurbishment experiences.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Contingency plans and funds are always advisable. You can never plan for every mishap, so it's always a good idea to have emergency resources available. Always remember that refurbs are there to serve your bottom line. Plan meticulously and don't give in to flourishes that could drive up the price and reduce your return on investment. When selecting a builder, look for smaller firms that can provide a more personal touch. This means that you get to know your project manager, and can be more hands off when it comes to the work itself.
BEST MOMENTS
'Making sure that a refurbishment comes in on budget is a big piece of the puzzle for a lot of people'
'You need to keep a firm handle on these things'
'A slight change up can lead to your money staying in the deal, which puts more pressure on yourself'
'Making things as simple as possible is the name of the game'

Mark Winship is joined by Natalie D'Souza to bust another commonly heal property myth - this time that lettings agents are a waste of time and money. As Mark and Natalie discuss, choosing the right agent to manage your property is a crucial component in helping you to achieve your life goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Lettings agents generally come with their own skill-sets, personal to the area in which your property lies. Therefore, they could consider methods and resources that may be unavailable to you. If we do have a negative experience with an agent, it's always worth remembering that everything in property is a learning curve. Don't be put off - simply keep looking! Many are put off by the costs of a letting agent, but it is far better to spend a little of your profits and live a happier life than burn ourselves out. As accommodation has grown in quality, so too have tenants' expectations. We must weigh up the pros and cons of being constantly on call. Lettings agents remove this pressure.
BEST MOMENTS
'Everything in property is a learning curve'
'You have to think about why you're doing this'
'10% plus VAT is a small price to pay for peace of mind'

Mark Winship talks to Nick Claydon, who with his wife Caroline (a fellow This Property Life alumni), has formed a formidable property empire.
Nick has dedicated himself to helping others realise their own dreams through property investing, and talks to Mark today about finding opportunities despite the up-and-downs of the property market, the importance of property education, and the exciting strategy of converting rundown guest houses into boutique hotels.
KEY TAKEAWAYS When opportunity presents itself, we should always explore them. A single moment can change your life forever, and can lead us down far more fruitful roads. Buying a property is one of the most important decisions that we make in life, and yet there is very little education around the subject. Arming yourself with knowledge will help you greatly. Seeing the success of others can be hugely inspirational, and can act as the ignition we need in order to launch our property investing careers. Much of the running of properties can be automated, meaning that you are free to focus upon the areas that need constant attention. Leverage others, and develop systems and processes in order to scale quickly and successfully.
BEST MOMENTS
'There's always been something about property that I've been fascinated about'
'It felt like a real sliding doors moment'
'If you want to change your life, then get educated'
'It changed everything. it showed us what was possible'

Mark Winship, Caroline Claydon and James D'Souza are here this week to bust another commonly held myth - passive income! Join the team as they discuss what it really means, if it is achievable, and if it really actually exists at all...
KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many strategies that have varying degrees of passive income to them, but every single strategy requires a good deal of work at the outset. Passive income should be reframed as recurring income, which is a far more suitable term. Passive income suggests that setting up a property business is easy, and this isn't the case. Even when we achieve success in property, there are always factors to consider, such as the day to day running of your portfolio. Even the act of considering who best to use in order to leverage your portfolio is, in itself, a task.
BEST MOMENTS
'Clarity of your goals will help you to start the way you mean to go on'
'Passive income depends on the strategy'
'People hear "passive income" and they think this is going to be easy'

Mark Winship is joined by Jill Green, who joins the conversation in order to debunk the widely held myth that there are no good deals left out there for property investors. Mark and Jill challenge presumptions about the state of the market, and dig into some of the strategies and tactics you can use to make sure you can constantly source great new deals!
KEY TAKEAWAYS Deals are definitely there to be had. They may be slightly more difficult to find, but with persistence and diligence, we can source great deals on and off market. Accountability helps us to become consistent. When we put ourselves our metrics out there, it helps us to work harder and with more discipline. Open up as many channels of communication as possible. If we make our voice heard, and if people know what our purpose and vision is when it comes to property, then deals can flow towards you more easily
BEST MOMENTS
'There are still deals. That's the bottom line'
'That drives you to be consistent'
'It's about having that mindset - of always being open to opportunities'

This week, Mark Winship is joined by Andrea Carrington and Emily Smith to talk about how to solve one of the most common issues that investors face - not having enough time to invest in property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Saying that we do not have enough time to become a property investor is, in many cases, simply an excuse. If we look at the time we have available in any given day, much of it is wasted. Time management requires focus and dedication, but once we get a handle on our hours, and put them to better use, the rewards will follow. Mind-set is crucial. When we tell ourselves that we are too busy, then we are instantly defeated. Stop making excuses and take control.
BEST MOMENTS
'There's so much time that people waste!'
'Look at your week and think to yourself "Does this get me to where I want to be?"'
'If I want to get to where I want to go to, then what sacrifices do I need to make?'
'If we can be honest, then we can be more proactive'

Everyone thinks you need pots of cash in order to start your property investing journey, but that's not the case.
This week, Mark Winship is joined by Jill Green and Natalie D'Souza, to bust this commonly-held myth, how to change your mind-set when it comes to money, how to raise angel investment and sources of untapped finance.
KEY TAKEAWAYS To buy a house and refurbish it does cost money, but you don't necessarily need to use money that belongs to you. Investors who help you to realise a deal find that the return on their investment is far better than from most traditional means of saving. An angel investor is someone who has money sitting in the bank, but who doesn't have the skills or knowledge base needed in order to invest in property. Tell people what you do through every channel available - social media and in social situations. You may be surprised at how close to home many of your potential angel investors are. Education is the key to using the right strategy at the right time. Learn all you can and employ techniques to dramatically scale.
BEST MOMENTS
'Not having enough money is probably the commonly cited barrier to entry for most people'
'To be successful you have to step outside of your comfort zone'
'That angel investor still invests with us five years later'
'There are such a wealth of possibilities'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Rick Blaney about his incredible investing journey, and how he is using the knowledge and experience he has built to help other investors energise their own pathways through property.
Rick discusses how he got started, the strategies he has used in order to scale up, and what it was like to feature on the hit Channel 4 series, 'Three In A Bed'
KEY TAKEAWAYS When you start in property it can be quite daunting. A great practice to consider at the outset is to cultivate your network, and associate with people at a higher level than you, so that you can learn from those who have walked the path before you. In property there are two schools of thought that get people started. People are driven by the goals and things they want, or they are looking to escape from the treadmill of life and do something more exciting. Serviced accommodation is changing the way that the world thinks about travel. It provides a far higher level of flexibility and freedom, and in many cases is far more reasonable in terms of cost.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's scary, but it's also very enlightening'
'Very quickly you can close that gap!'
'Once you get that entrepreneurial drive about you, you start looking for what's next'

In this week's show, Mark Winship and Caroline Claydon are joined by Michelle Wales, for a conversation about impostor syndrome, and how many of may have been held back from achieving greatness because of it.
Many of us have experienced this feeling at one time or another, and in this special mind-set episode, the team talk about how to build your confidence in new arenas, the importance of surrounding yourself by the right people and how to avoid the judgment of others.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Impostor syndrome is when we think or present or portray ourselves in a certain way, but internally, we may be feeling unqualified to do so. Property investing seems to breed much in the way of impostor syndrome, as we all have to begin somewhere. New investors may feel that sense of inexperience for some time, until numerous deals are done. Never be afraid to show how vulnerable you are. It's okay to not know the answer to every question. We are all always learning. By being receptive to external education, you will engender trust. Knowledge is an ongoing pursuit, and the journey lasts a lifetime. No matter how much we gain, we can always learn more, and the landscape is always changing.
BEST MOMENTS
'We tend to hide our achievements. We feel out of our depth. We're afraid of being caught out'
'A lot of people are having to throw themselves in at the deep end'
'If you're always moving up, then you'll always reach a point where you think "How did I get here?"'
'It's okay to show a bit of vulnerability'

This week, Caroline Claydon lifts the lid on the system she's used to grown her property empire over the last 14 years. It's an incredible insight from one of the most respected and experienced property investors out there, and acts as a roadmap for all interested in growing their portfolio and boosting their net worth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS We have to be very clear on what we are trying to achieve, and forming a clear strategy at the outset will help to crystallise your goals and align your focus upon the areas required. Choose your investment area wisely. While the best deals might draw you to a certain place, it's far better to choose your strategy and then align that to an area, instead of the other way around. With an overcrowded and competitive market, it might be worth considering the way in which you source your deals. Look for ways in which to access direct-to-vendor deals instead of the more traditional methods of chasing after listings. Growing your power team will empower your empire exponentially. Hire people who are better than you, and you instantly expand your skill-set.
BEST MOMENTS
'Many choose a strategy based on their short term needs rather than what the long term plan is'
'Understanding the difference between active income and passive income is really helpful'
'Strategy first is very important'
'Your team are essential for your success. Hire people who are better than you'

This week, Mark Winship and James D'Souza are joined by Adrian Bellingham of Covest Architecture, to talk about what to expect when you have a good architect as part of your power team, how they can help you to realise more from your investment, how to work with building control, and how to be a good client.
KEY TAKEAWAYS If you work closely with an architect, and build a rapport with them, you can establish the level of expertise they have in your area and how they can best benefit you. Planning advice can be hugely impactful, so make sure you get qualified advice from someone you trust and who has you best interests at heart. Consultants can sometimes fail to see the potential in your site. Every cubic foot of space has the potential to maximise revenue. Creativity matters. If you have never engaged in a new build, then start with something with planning permission. You'll realise the gains from the uplift in value post-development. Brown field sites should come later.
BEST MOMENTS
'There is a degree of design that comes into this'
'My niche is spatial awareness'
'The key is in exceeding the brief, and that does take time and effort. It also takes passion as well'
'It's really important that your designer is not an "instruction taker"'

Mark Winship is joined by Claire Saunders from Cashflow Leasing, experts in Lease Finance Solutions helping companies acquire assets to operate their business.
Claire talks to Mark about the incredible business she's built, whereby she allows landlords to lease furniture for their properties, as well as asset leasing itself, and her own involvement in the property world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Asset leasing acts as a way of helping landlords to obtain the necessary furniture or equipment through leasing options, meaning that properties can be adequately stocked in readiness for tenancy. We must never discount the power of building a great team that can support us. Being able to leverage tasks and to those with equal or higher skill sets can alleviate stress and free up time. The big benefits of asset leasing to property owners is that their own cash does not need to be used, as well as being 100% tax efficient. The asset lease model alleviates stresses that might be caused by factors such as storage and transportation, as well as exorbitant costs of furnishing to a quality degree.
BEST MOMENTS
'The best way of marketing is word of mouth'
'It's a good tool in the toolbox that'll allow you to build quickly'
'The barrier for a lot of people is upfront capital'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Michelle Wales for a special episode devoted to why we must attain an abundance mind-set.
Having an abundance mind-set is a common trait among the most successful investors, and in this conversation, Mark and Michelle discuss the ways in which it can you to create opportunities that others simply overlook.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Mind-set is not something you use at the beginning of your investing journey. It is a skill that sparks the journey, but which then develops into a finely tuned tool that enables you to continue your success. The best way to learn new skills and develop them for yourself, is to follow the example of those who have walked the path before you. This is why education is crucial. The way that we react to situations communicates a lot to others about the way we feel, and where we are at in our lives and journeys. Our actions speak volumes. A network is vital for many reasons. Not only can it provide you with the inspiration to battle through, but also the resources so that you can pounce upon opportunities when they arise.
BEST MOMENTS
'It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, you're going to have to have the right mind-set'
'These are skills that you can learn in the same way that you acquire knowledge'
'If you have a scarcity mind-set, the chances of you doing something is massively reduced'
'When you believe there's an opportunity, you think about how to pivot and how to exploit that'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Tom Lewis, a professional tennis coach who began investing in property so as to provide for his future, so as to diversify his income streams, and most importantly in order to cease trading his precious time for money.
After starting in buy-to-let, Tom now operates one of the most successful service accommodation businesses in the midlands. Tom discusses the ups and downs of SA as a strategy, how to build a power team you can rely upon, and how managing properties for other landlords has allowed him to scale quickly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the best ways to maximise your returns on serviced accommodation is to examine the offerings of other providers in your area and identify the markets that are not being served. Once your SA business is up and running, another potential revenue stream can come in using your team to manage properties for other landlords. If serviced accommodation is your chosen strategy, then it may be wise to focus upon a single area or zone, so as to best ensure that logistically, each property can be served effectively. Feedback is not just given on the property itself. An important part of serviced accommodation is the service element. We must make sure the service is memorable and kept to a certain standard.
BEST MOMENTS
'I began looking to property as something of a pension plan'
'We wanted to be able to have complete control of the experience'
'When you get a rating on Airbnb it's part based on the property and part based on the team'
'It's called serviced accommodation for a reason'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Asaad Tariq, a commercial property whirlwind, who delivers a masterclass in all things commercial investing and how to create opportunities in emerging markets, from a man with a wealth of knowledge, and whose success has been founded upon an abundance mind-set.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a network is one of the most valuable assets in our investing journey. Surrounding ourselves with those who can help us and inspire us when needed, is crucial to longevity. It is far harder to fail in anything if we take the opportunities we see, and go out and create them for ourselves when we can. Success comes through an abundance mind-set. Sometimes, when our backs are against the wall, we discover the things we're truly capable of. We also learn about the people in our network who are worth your trust. The high street is not expiring. The high street is merely changing. Change means opportunity, especially for investors.

In this short, sharp episode, Mark Winship talks about the five things he loves most about serviced accommodation as an investment strategy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced Accommodation is incredibly flexible. There seems to a demand for SA all over the country, and works in any kind of setting. There are no nightmare tenants! Dealing with issues such a non payment of rent or damage is common to most landlords, but all SA lets are short term. There are no planning headaches. A normal residence has the planning use class of C3, which is suitable for serviced accommodation.
BEST MOMENTS
'I often get asked why I'm so excited about SA as a property strategy'
'The reality is that there are a range of different sectors that need SA'
'The key is to identify your target market'

This week, Mark is joined by Michelle Wales and Gillian Green once again unite to discuss the crucial topic of mindset and how it can affect your property journey, with a particular focus on overwhelm - how best to identify it when it arises, and how best to ensure we do not suffer as a result.
KEY TAKEAWAYS There can be a good kind of stress, one that spurs you on and makes you feel alive. However, there is a danger that it can tip into something more detrimental. We need to handle it at all times. if we are not pushing our boundaries and striving to achieve something, then we would not succeed. We must be productive, but not to the detriment of our time or life. There is nothing wrong with streamlining the factors in our lives that stop our momentum. We should feel good about making positive decisions. We can often offload much of the tasks that cause us stress. Even in a small way, the leveraging of tasks can create real positive impact.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's like good stress vs bad stress'
'We have to take a step back and be grateful for some of the challenges we face'
'It helps to take a step back'
'You have to do the things you don't like in don't understand the importance of systemising from the get go'

This week Mark Winship talks to Paul and Alex Murray who decided to apply their own unique set of skills to build a property portfolio, in order to achieve a better quality of life.
Paul and Alex discuss the ways in which property education allowed them to take the leap into investing and energised their journey, despite having little to no money up front.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Education is everything when it comes to your property journey. By equipping ourselves with the strategies required, we can take advantage of way more deals! Many assume that large quantities of money are required in order to begin investing, but this isn't the case. Many strategies involve no money down at the outset, and investors are always looking for opportunities. Often, people reach an epiphany moment in their lives, where they realise that instead of making money for others, we can do it for ourselves.
BEST MOMENTS
'When you do your training you realise there are many ways of doing it'
'It's an opportunity to work for yourself and be your own boss'
'To be investing efficiently and effectively, you need to be the one making the deals'

In this very special 50th episode special, Mark, James and Caroline get together to discuss the things they've each enjoyed most about making the podcast and what they've learned from their gallery of incredible guests so far.
KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most crucial components in any investor's strategical tool box must be a strong vision and purpose. Education, when it comes to property investment, is an ongoing process. We can never know everything, and advances are being made all the time. It is wise to keep our knowledge base in constant development. Determination and the will to succeed are the only requirements when it comes to beginning a property investment journey. We can't hope to succeed at every juncture. We will be knocked off the rails from time to time. What matters is that we pick ourselves up, learn from the experience, and keep going.
BEST MOMENTS
'People are willing to be candid and honest about challenges'
'We're 50 not out!'
'It's that push-pull nature of things'
'It gives you courage in your convictions'

This week, James D'Souza talks to Lewis Crompton, who began his wealth creation journey six years ago in the financial markets. After networking with property investors, Lewis took the step of putting his money into bricks and mortar and has never looked back since.
Lewis talks about his incredible investing journey so far, the importance of strategy, and how he uses the knowledge he's gained to train and mentor new investors on their own journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS A traditional education, or lack thereof, should never be a barrier to property investing. All that's really required is the will to succeed, and the drive to put your plans into action. Recognising your own strengths and weaknesses is essential. If you can identify the areas in which you're weaker, you can counter them with strategies and systems. Without reinforcing our property journey with an arsenal of strategies to be deployed as needed, we are essentially gambling upon each deal. Many people aren't successful, because they cannot stand the monotony of incremental gains in order to get there. Those who are patient and understand the numbers game behind it all, are the ones who achieve financial freedom and success.
BEST MOMENTS
'Being analytical can actually be a limitation'
'Without strategy, you're definitely falling into the realms of gambling'
'Is the potential reward on this worth the risk?'
'Success is actually pretty boring'

This week, the panel are back for another exploration into the mind-set you need to cultivate to succeed in property investment, with a focus this time on habits and consistency and how we can learn to embrace the structures in life that'll help us to achieve health, wealth and happiness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Habits are always best installed if done incrementally. Recognise what is best for you and make small, positive additions over time. In entrepreneurship, there is an unfortunate level of habit-shaming, which is often translated into a feeling of inadequacy in those of an aspirational nature. The successful adoption of habits is the point at which the consistency has led to the habits themselves becoming part of who we are. Business is important, but we must never forget to prioritise the things that make us truly happy. We must recognise the driving force that pushes us (family or loved ones) and take time out to nurture.
BEST MOMENTS
'We are what we repeatedly do'
'It's not the habits themselves, it's what they represent'
'We keep each other going, and keep each other consistent'

This week, Mark Winship is joined by Josh Cole, who together with his partner Amber, has only been investing in property for a few months, but who have achieved huge success in an incredibly short time.
Josh talks about the importance of commitment and goal setting, how to build successful relationships and a power team, and how important it is to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
KEY TAKEAWAYS The current market conditions are often seen as a barrier to being their investment journey, but there are many deals out there to be had. Never be afraid to start. Choosing an investment area is crucial. Wise investors look for places in which there is a large supply of properties that require investment in order to sell for better prices. Investing requires dedication, but it also requires a mind-set that allows for you to feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations. We must get used to feeling nervous about decisions, as that is where true success lies. Try not to burn bridges when building relationships. You never know when you might need to call upon someone one day. Just because a current deal is not suitable, doesn't mean it won't be in the future.
BEST MOMENTS
'You have to network quite relentlessly'
'We're really pleased with the way it's been going!'
'If you're consistent enough, and you have a good follow-up process, and if you turn up enough times, you can get the kind of property you need'
'We've been through a real "builder dating" process!'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Scotty Hodson, known as "The Property Farmer" - a man on a mission to disrupt the shorty stay rental industry with his eco-friendly serviced apartment model.
Scotty talks about how he came back from spiralling debt and ill health to found and grow an innovative serviced accommodation empire that has completely changed the life he is building with his young family.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a property empire is never easy, but with a clear vision and by keeping our goals in mind, we can rise above the greatest of challenges. Serviced accommodation is daunting to begin with, but once we get up and running and build systems in place, it becomes a lot easier as a strategy. Quality is the differentiator that makes a difference, and can give us a competitive advantage. It is about finding the bespoke difference that makes us stand out, and marketing accordingly.

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Sean Thomson, originally from South Africa, and who arrived in the UK with £15,000 i his pocket, since turning this sum into a large property empire.
Sean discusses the ways in which he successful invested in property remotely, how he transitioned to bigger investments, and how he now helps others to achieve their own property investing dreams.
KEY TAKEAWAYS It doesn't matter what the odds are, or where you're based. If you have a team that can help you, then you execute any investment plan. Education and determination are the only tools we need at the outset. Build your strategical toolbox and find the will to win, and you will succeed. Remote investing is not easy, and requires dedication, but distance is simply a hurdle and can be overcome through the use of technology and a good team on the ground. Find your strategy first, decide on the outcomes you want, and then look for the places in which this plan will work best for you.
BEST MOMENTS
'I needed to learn about something in order to improve my circumstances'
'Property also gives you some phenomenal friendships'
'Go and find people who are doing what you want to do'
'People getting started must never be afraid to understand what they need from their property business'

KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many lessons we can translate and transfer from the world of elite sports and the world of property and investment, not least a pursuit of excellence and success. We must show up and give of our very best. If we can do that, then we will always be gold medallists in our own minds. It's about developing that winning mind-set. We should never find ourselves defined by our backgrounds. Anyone can rise above if they find themselves inspired. Becoming a success is not about instant mastery. it is the process of building incremental wins, and slowly becoming the best versions of ourselves that we can be.
BEST MOMENTS
'I have always found the pursuit of excellence fascinating'
'We're not here for silver or. bronze - we're here for gold'
'It's not about making overnight revolutionary changes. It's about routine, discipline and small changes that can make massive differences'
'It's the courage to speak to people, because it's all about relationships at the end of the day'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Ryan Rogers, who moved to the UK from South Africa, and started investing in property after struggling to get a fledgling design business off the ground. He has since amassed a huge portfolio of buy-to-let properties, and has achieved financial security for himself and his family.
Ryan discusses his story, and where he finds the drive and determination to succeed, in this inspiring episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Education cannot be undervalued in the world of property investment. Education means that we broaden our resources and our own resourcefulness, meaning we can better pivot, adapt, and grow. A property journey is energised and accelerated through having a team we can rely upon. Teams help us to grow, and strengthen and diversify our skill set. Never be afraid to tap into the knowledge of those who know better than we do. Knowledge is powerful, and is easily shared. Educating ourselves may cost money, but the savings we will make because of that education far outweigh the initial costs.
BEST MOMENTS
'When you put your own name onto something you tend to put a lot more effort into it'
'When you work for someone else, your time isn't your own'
'We thought we knew more than we did'
'Education is like scaffolding'

This week, the team present a new mini-series dedicated to the all-important topic of mindset. Success in property investment has very little to do with the amount of money you have, or the time you can dedicate. As the team explain, success has far more to do with having the right mindset - from resilience and focus, to managing overwhelm and how to avoid procrastination.
KEY TAKEAWAYS People often underestimate the importance and value of mindset, seeing it as rather a woolly subject, when in fact, it is the supporting foundation of everything in investment. Mindset skills can be learned and developed. These are skills and disciplines that can be formed and grown, so it's never too late to begin. Failing is a sign of growth. Never be afraid to take a risk. If you're not failing, then you are likely playing things far too safe. Challenges are inevitable. No property investment journey ever came without setbacks of some kind, but as long as we continue to push forward and learn, we never truly fail.
BEST MOMENTS
'Your mindset has a huge bearing on your success'
'Ultimately, this will dictate whether or not this is a flash in the pan for you'
'If you're not failing, then you are sitting in your comfort zone'
'You have to keep pushing through!'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Jerry Alexander, who began in property investment over twenty years ago, and who has since built a reputation as one of the foremost commercial CMO expert, maximising profit in commercial spaces.
Jerry talks candidly about the lessons he's learned during his career, and the strategies and opportunities he sees in the current commercial property market.
KEY TAKEAWAYS A CMO (Commercial Multiple Occupancy) is a building in which all parties share services, but have their own unit from which to operate their business. The CMO projects work far better if all occupants pool resources and work together to create a sustainable, efficient space for all involved. There is no obligation to enter the commercial sector, but there is less competition, and there are huge rewards to be gained. For those already investing in residential, commercial is a marvellous step up. During periods of uncertainty in business, there is a tendency by tenants, to opt for a more flexible approach to rent. In the wake of COVID and its effects, many are trepidatious about signing long leases when the future of their company may be in doubt.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're much better pooling resources, and it's the same for that type of offer'
'Everybody's contributing but together we can have more'
'I can really affect value and add lots of value, which is going to accelerate the whole thing'
'The industry is really good at making itself opaque'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Donna McCloskey, who began in property investment when a physical injury left her unable to return to her workplace.
Donna talks about the role of education when it comes to successful property investing, and how she has created a financial legacy for herself and her growing family.
KEY TAKEAWAYS If you set ambitious goals and believe in yourself, you can achieve the heights when it comes to success in property. Take action, plan, and find the will to push through any challenge. Life can change in a single moment. If we can find the will to make life better, then these transformative moments can lead to positive impactful change. Education in property investment can equip us with the tools we need in order to pivot. With more strategies at our disposal, we can take advantage of more deals. As we evolve as property investors, and as our passive income grows, we can take less risks and allow our portfolios to work for us.
BEST MOMENTS
'I went to a three-day event, and I changed my life'
'I needed a B-Plan and didn't have one'
'I can do this! There is another way!'
'Purchase prices are going up, but back-end values are going up, also'

For the second part of their panel show on the subject of raising money, Mark Winship and Caroline Claydon are joined by property trainer, Rick Blaney, for a wide-ranging discussion on how to find angel investors, how to leverage social media, and how to organise and structure your own investment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Social media is a marvellous way of presenting a "storefront" to the world - a story that can present your achievements in an accessible way. For those anxious about presenting themselves on social media, being the face of the brand, always remember that the business can act as the star. You never know who's watching your story. Bear in mind that a response to something you've made may not come immediately. It may come later. When offering a deal, remember that it is an opportunity for them. If they turn it down, it doesn't necessarily reflect upon you or the deal. It may be that the time is not right for them. Someone saying "no" is not a judgment on you.
BEST MOMENTS
'The beauty of social media is that you're showcasing what you're doing'
'You can hide behind the business'
'It's about authenticity'
'The more "nos" you get, the closer you are to getting a "yes"'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Gill Green about how she's managing to find a plethora of deals in the market right now, despite the challenges posed by lockdown, the importance of being driven by a strong purpose, and how she managed to achieve financial security through a series of carefully balanced property investment strategies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to finding deals in this current market is to keep looking consistently, and keep making offers. Persistence and consistency are the key to building a life-changing portfolio, and achieving financial freedom. The churn rate is the difference between the number of properties up for sale, and those going through conveyancing. There is a real shortage of stock right now. The buy-to-let strategy is a marvellous way to being your property journey, as it is relatively low-risk, and mistakes are seldom made.
BEST MOMENTS
'That basic strategy is the best way to star in property'
'Following up is crucial!'
'It's harder, but not impossible as an investor'
'The realities can be different, but that doesn't mean it's not worth doing'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Emily Smith, an incredible force in the world of property, who has managed to thrive and grow her impressive property portfolio during lockdown despite the many challenges of the injured market, as well as balancing life in her ever-growing family.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite the many challenges of the property market, there are still deals out there to be had. They may require a little more pursuit, but people are buying and selling. It's always best to be prepared and armed to swoop upon any deal that may arise. Sometimes they surface when we least expect it, so be ready! Each conversation or interaction with agents helps to build a relationship between you both. Soon they'll know exactly what you're looking for, and will be far more proactive with you as a result Always remember that likeability goes a long way when it comes to making deals. Treat people well and they'll treat you accordingly.
BEST MOMENTS
'If anyone says there's no deals out there, then they're not looking hard enough'
'Deals are found anywhere!'
'The more you speak to agents, the more memorable you're becoming. The more they'll understand what it is you're looking for'
'That's a happy pay day any day of the week!'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Andrew Arere, who's created a portfolio worth over £1.5 million pounds in four years while working remotely on a project in Kazakhstan.
Andrew talks about the challenges of investing from outside the country, and how to attract the angel investors who can make a real difference to your investing journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Forming the correct mind-set when it comes to investment, is the key to finding success. Unless we believe we can achieve a better life for ourselves, we cannot get there. Sometimes setbacks, which can seem like the end of the world at the time, can spur us on to thinking differently, and set us on a new, more successful course in life. Strategy is everything in property. By broadening our knowledge base, we broaden the range of strategies available. You can achieve anything if you align yourself with someone who can guide you through the tougher times in investment.
BEST MOMENTS
'The key thing is mind-set'
'From there on, every year I've been building my portfolio'
'Strategy is so important in this game'
'Having someone experienced behind me was very key'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Daniel Sim, a UK property investor based in Singapore. Daniel began investing back in 2012, and discusses how he began with the HMO strategy in order to begin his investment journey, and how with a single HMO, he managed to replace his average Singapore annual salary.
Daniel also talks about the mind-set shift required in order to start investing, and how the will to succeed can see you through any challenge you face.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Property allows our money to work hard for us, instead of us working hard for the money! It's a the dream arrangement, and all it takes is education and the hunger to succeed. The first deal always carries a great deal more in terms of nerves and anxiety, but so long as the due diligence and research has been done, we can provide reassurance for ourselves. A great team on the ground can help to alleviate any issues and challenges on your behalf. There is no substitute for a team you can trust. They are the cornerstone of any property investment venture. We are no longer limited by our location when it comes to investing. The world is now open to all through the power of technology and remote teams.
BEST MOMENTS
'I was always looking for ways to make my money work harder'
'I'm just so grateful to learn from giants'
'Last year was really a proof of concept for me'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Jordan Kynoch, an inspiration to anyone looking to being their property investment journey. By investing in property, Jordan was swiftly able to replace his income as a personal trainer, and has since scaled his portfolio, affording him the lifestyle of his dreams.
Jordan discusses how best to raise finance, and how to achieve the mindset you need in order to succeed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Wise property investment can allow us to achieve the lifestyle we desire, providing a passive income, as well as slowly working to build an asset empire. Sacrifice is natural. Work is constant and investing takes dedication. But we must remember that efforts expended now pay dividends in the future Education is everything, especially in the beginning of a property journey. Learn all you can and apply the strategy that fits at the time. Building a team and asking for help and support allows us to exponentially increase our ability to more deals, and do them faster!
BEST MOMENTS
'The hard work left me in great stead for today'
'I could see the benefits of property from a young age'
'There's no reason why you can't get a mortgage or lending. You just have to fit those criteria points'
'We're learning every single time there's a change in the market'

In this week's show, Caroline Claydon talks to Steven Clark, who has fifteen years' experience in property investment. Steven discusses how he built a hybrid property business, including long term buy-to-let properties as well as flips, and a commercial endeavour that is set to bring in revenue worth over a million pounds!
KEY TAKEAWAYS Cashflow is incredibly important in any property business. Every deal, every project, should be carefully judged and balanced so as to provide the maximum cashflow at all times. Mistakes are lessons learned. Not only do we take the learnings from them, but we can pass this wisdom along to others who may be approaching challenging situations. If we are clear enough about our goals, and focussed upon what we wish to achieve, then it makes it far easier to shut out the voices trying to dissuade us. It is wise to never undervalue what we do. If we are providing a high quality experience for tenants, then do not be afraid to charge accordingly. This is a strategy that has worked for Steven.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's a property strategy - but slightly unique...'
'Even as a professional you still mess up from time to time and have to figure things out'
'It's a short term sacrifice for huge long term gains'
'It requires some knowledge, experience and know-how to do this - but anyone can do it!'

This week, James D'Souza talks to Danny Bloomfield, a property investor and former professional football player, and a business owner.
Danny discusses his investment journey, the challenges he has faced along the way, why you always have to focus on the positives in business and life, and the power of having multiple streams of income.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Education in property is essential. It not only teaches us the hows, but also the whys of investing, as well as broadening our strategy base. In property, mitigation is key. We need to always keep an eye on any potential problems that might arise, and always have contingency exits in place. Diversifying income allows us the protection of fluctuating markets at times. If one market dips, then we can rely on other forms of income to act as support. It's far easier to make mistakes in life than always take the perfect route. Football is very much property in this regard. It's all in the planning and the preparation.
BEST MOMENTS
'You need two exits from every single deal you go through'
'I went through various training courses so that I could do things professionally, properly, and understand what I'm doing'
'Focus on the high-paying tasks'
'I love being around people. I love talking to people. I love bouncing ideas around'

In this special episode, the panel come together for a discussion on the best practices when it comes to raising investment capital for your property journey, with a particular focus upon angel investors - what they are, how to find them, and how to change your mind-set when it comes to money.
KEY TAKEAWAYS There are misconceptions about what an angel investor is. They believe them to mainly be super rich philanthropist types. Angel investors, in reality, are more commonly rather innocuous, and closer to home than we may think. We must adjust our mind-set when it comes to asking for money. Remember that we are not asking for a handout. We are proposing a real and lucrative business opportunity. Angel investors in property have a marvellous opportunity to increase their capital by entering into an agreement that is likely to be hands-off for them. It's a very attractive proposition. When people make money in property, they inevitably tell others, due to the fact that it is so simple and successful. This can lead to a greater number of satellite acquaintances making approaches with the same aim in mind.
BEST MOMENTS
'An angel investor is simply someone who wants to earn a greater return on their funds or savings'
'It's about getting into the angel investor's head'
'I can't see any better solutions for them than investing in you'
'Think about friends of friends of friends, too'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to husband and wife property investors, Niyi and Elizabeth, who took the plunge into becoming full time investors, having transitioned from employment.
Niyi and Elizabeth discuss the ways in which they overcame their mental block in order to use angel investors in their business, and talk about the ways in which they have supported each other in order to build a bright future for their family.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Property ediucation is an empowering process that can show us what is possible, and remove any unknowns that hold us back. Taking the leap into property investment as a full time job takes a leap of faith and self belief. But the rewards are incredible. Asking someone for money is never easy, but once you find the strength to do so, you’ll realise that you can actually add value and wealth for someone. By constantly networking and building your contact base, you get a real sense of which deal will suit which angel investor. Always work on your network!
BEST MOMENTS
‘Our minds have been opened’
‘The prospect of passive income is very sttractive’
‘One of the biggest concerns people have is where to find the money…’
‘It’s been a real journey’

This week, Mark Winship talks to Natalie D'Souza, about her inspiring "rags to riches" story, in which Natalie has built financial security for herself and her family by creating a multi-million pound property portfolio from a standing start, and how an important "why" can keep you focussed through the tough times.
KEY TAKEAWAYS There's a misconception that you need a large pot of cash in order to get started in property. Natalie is living proof that you can do it with just the right strategies at hand. What keeps us travelling on the property journey is by finding the "why" that keeps the desire hot and your ambition hungry. Sometimes we have to fight hard for what we want, but once we start moving, building relationships and finding deals, the momentum becomes incredible. Mistakes are natural, but it's how deal with them that matters. Mistakes are lessons, and we should be grateful for any kinds of teachings in the long run.
BEST MOMENTS
'When you're a property investor, nothing slows you down!'
'We wanted to work our way upwards'
'It's all about momentum'
'Your journey and story is very inspiring'

This week, James D'Souza talks to Goldie Sayers, a former Team GB athlete who's now a property investor who along with building her own impressive portfolio, has turned to mentoring other athletes about the power of property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Athletes are well aware that they have a finite time limit upon their sporting career. The wise ones are those who put plans into place to take care of their income upon retirement. Education is key to securing a future in property. We must ensure that we are fully equipped with the strategies required in order to thrive. There are no financial barriers to entry when it comes to property investment. The key is to leverage the money of others and begin as soon as possible. Always follow your instinct, even when it comes to buyers, and those in your team. Your inner voice is always guiding you in some way.
BEST MOMENTS
'I made a living by diversifying'
'You're retiring at 30 or 35 if you're really lucky'
'The key is leverage'
'Don't take things at face value'

In this Deal Diary episode, Mark Winship tells you about a deal that involved turning a set of agricultural buildings into residential apartments.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced accommodation, as a strategy, involves renting out a property on a short-term basis. It's a hands-on strategy but it can yield high returns. The Rent-To-SA strategy is a good way to test out a concept, and so ensure that our systems and processes can handle the stress of bigger projects. Old property conversions come with their own sets of issues. It's always best to make sure you have a team that can adapt and find solutions.
BEST MOMENTS
'We put our heart and soul into this one'
'Converting an old property like this will always throw you curveballs'
'This was a challenging project in many ways'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Dr Jaz Mavi, who balances financial, professional and business achievement with mindfulness. Dr Jaz discusses the importance of keeping ourselves not just physically healthy, but also mentally agile in order to be able to overcome mental challenges.
KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to know your team well. Analyse the deal and give it to a team you can trust, and your potential is exponentially increased. People often feel as though they need to do every deal that comes along, especially in the earlier days. But you'll be far more successful if you do the right If you're going to someone with a strategy, you need to show that you have experience and that you work with trusted people. This is a people business. No one wishes for a life without problems or chaos. They make us stronger. We need to aim for a life where we have the skills to deal with the chaos and the challenges.

This week, the This Property Life team are joined by chartered financial planner, Jon Hurst, to talk about pensions - how to use them to grow your property portfolio, and how to use property to bolster your pension fund.
KEY TAKEAWAYS The way you use your pension in terms of securing your financial future, really depends on your appetite for opportunity, and your overall plan for what's ahead. In a defined benefit pension scheme, what you receive at the end is defined by the benefits you were on while working. It is worth talking to potential angel investors about where their own pensions are held, and how they are being invested, as sometimes it may be more fruitful for this to be used in property. It is worth tracking down your own various pension pots, consolidating them, and strategising about the best ways in which these funds can be positioned.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you are savvy enough, there are different ways to use your pension to further your own portfolio'
'A state pension is nothing more than a bit of pocket money in your old age'
'A pension is effectively a trust'
'It's like online banking, but for your pension!'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Claire Powell and Becca Strelzyn of serviced accommodation business, Switchback Stays, and whose property journey began back in 2018 with purchasing buy-to-let properties.
Claire and Becca talk about the ways in which they manage their serviced accommodation business, coping with COVID lockdown, and the importance of staying focussed upon your "why".
KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking the leap into property can seem like a gamble. We can mitigate this gamble by making sure we have a relevant "why", and by arming ourselves with as much knowledge as possible. There is always a moment in the property journey where the lightbulb illuminates, and we realise that we have found a far more fulfilling way to live and make money. Serviced accommodation is a far more hands on pursuit, unless we are willing to pay others and delegate. It's full on, but is far more challenging, which keeps things exciting. Serviced accommodation does not necessarily mean "holiday let". SA is used by many people for many different reasons, and this is why they can be found everywhere, not just in cities or coastal regions.
BEST MOMENTS
'It did feel like a milestone, but the timing was so right'
'If we wanted to achieve our goals in property we had to take the leap!'
'If we implement these things, then we can grow a business'
'I wouldn't classify it as a mistake - it was more of a challenge'

In this week's show, James D'Souza talks to Caroline Reed of Reed Residential and National Property Sources, who has built a property empire along with her partner. Caroline talks about the decision that led her to a switch in careers in order to gain more freedom in life, and how she did it!
KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the main challenges in becoming a property investor is to work out your "freedom figure" - the amount you need in order to keep the bills paid, and to provide you with a comfortable income. Knowledge is key in the early stages of property investment. If we are not armed with the right strategies, we may end up paying over the odds when we don't have to. Many believe that the road to financial freedom is too tough to travel, but success is within everyone's reach. it takes, bravery, dedication and a willingness to learn. Some properties simply work better with a letting agent involved as there will always be some tenants and some properties. that work better with a mediator.
BEST MOMENTS
'The money was flowing in, and we didn't really notice that it was flowing out just as fast'
'We bought these houses as though they were Mars bars'
'Pennies were dropping and lightbulb moments were going off'
'We could not WAIT to sign up for some property education'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Kenneth and Victor, a pair of property investors originally from Hong Kong, who began to invest in the UK market in 2018 while base abroad, and who have built an impressive portfolio worth over £900,000.
Kenneth and Victor discuss the persistence required in order to successfully operate as international investors, and the mind-set they achieved that allowed them to believe that anything was possible.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowledge is not always required in order to get started. What matters is the passion and drive to want to change your life for the better. Strategical planning and education is key to ensuring that we can make the most of this passion, and drive us towards newfound levels of success when opportunities arrive. Joint venturing with a partner increases our potential exponentially as tasks can be performed simultaneously, and by someone to whom certain tasks are better suited. Kenneth and Victor are the epitome of the maxim that success is sometimes the result of a long search. Their business has taken them from the opposite side of the world in their search, but opportunity is where you find it.
BEST MOMENTS
'We started as two individuals and went to two families together'
'It's not practical for the boss to be everywhere doing everything in the business'
'Everything comes together to make the game amazing'
'We want to invest further. We want to be closer to everything. We think opportunity is there'

This week, Mark speaks to Chris O'Hare from COH Property, who has built a portfolio of rental properties that have allowed him to achieve a level of financial security that most people only dream of.
Chris joins Mark to talk about how best to manage properties remotely and manage time, the use of social media to raise angel finance, and the power of a positive mindset.
KEY TAKEAWAYS True passive income is a difficult thing to generate, especially if we want our money to grow and work harder without our constant involvement. Angel investors are quite able to recognise when you are at the beginning of your property journey, and in general they will not mind this, so get started and begin to approach. Time Management between areas can be handled by employing people nearer to your prospective investment area, for simpler tasks such as property viewings and minor appointments. Mentors give us the security of a sounding board - the ability to remain focussed and precise, and grant the benefit of wisdom in areas in which we are not familiar.
BEST MOMENTS
'I've never worked so hard since having a passive income'
'From the start, it was obvious that you need angel investment'
'Until you sit down and do the figures, you assume the story is correct'
'My mentor has kept me focussed and put good stuff in my head'

This week, property investor and mentor, Jordan Kynock of Kynoch Properties, shares a deal diary, in which he talks about the success he discovered by using knowledge and strategy to overcome a potentially obstructive deal.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Age is not necessarily the defining factor in a property journey. Knowledge is what sets us apart. Being creative in your strategy opens up many doors in property that would otherwise remain closed. Strategical thinking is everything. Some of the best deals can be the ones that other people are scared of. Many are put off by the amount of work required to make a property deal work, but this can signify a lucrative potential deal. Asking the right questions arms us with the knowledge to know how to proceed. Treat each potential deal as an investigation and make sure you do your due diligence.
BEST MOMENTS
'You've got be creative when going direct to vendor'
'I managed to secure this using none of my own money at the ripe age of 23'
'Age does not matter in property'
'There are deals like this out there. It all depends on your area'

This week, the This Property Life panel are joined by mortgage broker, Emma Faulkner to talk about all things property finance, including how to best package the perfect mortgage application, and how to get the best advice from your broker.
KEY TAKEAWAYS When approaching a lender, always bear in mind that you are asking for a huge sum of money, so making yourself appear as credible and attractive as possible is essential in getting them to agree. With investment properties, you will require a physical evaluation. With residential it can be different, and done all but remotely. The most important thing a new investor can do is work on their credit file. If you have any issues upon your file, add notes where possible. Ensure you're on the electoral role. You must look like a viable option. With investment properties, if the client takes a 5 year fixed rate, they will get more borrowing, because lenders will know the costs for a minimum of five years.
BEST MOMENTS
'You have to make yourself look as attractive a proposition as you can'
'Most lenders are looking for you to have property ownership for six months'
'Your credit file is your CV for lending'
'It's all about painting the picture'

In this week's show, James D'Souza talks to Stephen Riley and Bruce Marshall, of Riley Marshall Investments, about the ways in which they turned their property dreams into a reality.
As former lettings agents, Bruce and Stephen saw the potential to grow their own business, and turned a five-figure profit in the very first month. Since then, they have gone on to merge with one of the largest estate agents in the UK. In this episode, hear all about how Stephen and Bruce staked their claim in the property world, and about their plans for the future.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking the steps to build a strong, robust property portfolio is a vital one in creating a passive, diverse income for ourselves. Stephen and Bruce credit their property journey with reducing the stress that would have been caused by the lockdown situation. The creativity comes from the developing a lucrative deal. Once you have the deal in place, you then need to set about ensuring that it generates a passive income for the life of the investment. Planning elements can be fragile at the outset of a property journey, but through experience and education come wisdom. On the upturns in the market, we should seek to maximise profits for the long term. We must use the wins in the present to insulate ourselves against potential losses in the future.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you encounter a challenge you think to yourself, okay - let's deal with it'
'The real wealth was being made by our clients'
'We're exposed to this world, but we're not taking advantage of the potential out there'
'You live and you learn, and part of this journey is paying some of those fees along the way'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Dean Starr from the Cornerstone Partnership, who swiftly achieved financial security using property investment as a vehicle, and has since dedicated himself to making a difference in the community by providing homes for the homeless.
Dean discusses the way in which he got started in property, and how he has taken his social housing strategy to the next level.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Cornerstone provides a range of property services, aiming to provide affordable housing to long-term renters. This includes temporary accommodation services, opportunities for longer term tenancies, social lettingsand housing developments. Many investors are not driven by the need to increase wealth, but have a genuine desire to put something good into the world. Many in the mainstream believe property owners and landlords to be a force of antagonism, but as Cornerstone have demonstrated, this perception is sometimes false. Property investors can be an empowering force for good. We can become quickly detached from the normal world, simply through being persistently distracted by our own lives and work. It is worth taking time to realign and refocus upon the things that matter, and help whenever we can.
BEST MOMENTS
'We're a social enterprise property company'
'Even small changes feel like really big wins'
'It beings as an experiment, but then becomes a mission'
'It's a journey for families so that they can own their own home at some point'

In this week's show, Caroline Claydon presents another in the 'Deal Diary' series, this time centring around converting properties to use as student accommodations in the shape of HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation).
KEY TAKEAWAYS As a former student, Caroline's partner had a valuable insight into the amount of rents to expect in student areas, as well as the general proportion of profits being made by landlords. The marketplace for HMOs in student living areas is always crowded. This demonstrates the potential of establishing such ventures in these areas. Often, investors' mettle is tested by estate agents, in order to determine how serious their investment plans are. If you pass, then valuable relationships can be defined.
BEST MOMENTS
'We wanted to break into HMOs and really level up!'
'The estate agent basically laughed in his face!'
'He knew that if he didn't turn up to that viewing, that he would lose all credibility'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Fenella Walker, who has built a property portfolio worth just under two million pounds in under two years.
Fenella discusses the transition between full-time employment and her property journey, how she turned her most colourful life experiences into her greatest strength, and how she created the incredible property empire that changed her life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Property allows a release from the expected path in life. It requires the will to change our lives, but it's never too late to make the change for the better. Capital is not a requirement in order to get started in property. Education reveals that many strategies can be used that require no money upfront. Never discount collaborative input, even from those who may otherwise be perceived as rivals. Building a network of fellow investors can supply you with much needed help, especially during the initial phase. Freeing up time through property has allowed Fenella to chase her dreams of writing her autobiography. The freedom that property brings can allow us to chase the dreams we hold on to.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's not always about the financial side!'
'We were still open to a new challenge'
'What we had was life experience'
'It gave me focus and it gave me a purpose'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Gary Wales, who offers his unique perspective on a property journey that followed an illustrious career as a professional football player. Gary discusses the culture of financial planning in elite sportsmanship, and what it takes to adapt to a completely new career path.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial education should be encouraged, especially in young people. The foundations we lay for our futures should begin from our youth. In sports, most of the skills we acquire can be put to tremendous use in property. Both pursuits require determination and the will to succeed, as well as the right mind-set. Adapting to an entirely new career path can be daunting, but if we supply ourselves with the right education and toolkit, the transition can be entirely seamless. Property investment is a collaborative pursuit. Assembling the right team, and right network is key to any form of success.
BEST MOMENTS
'You can't actually do property on your own'
'You have to be educated with money - certainly from a young age'
'The discipline side of this is important'
'It's always good to keep the pressure on!'

It's all hands on deck this week, as the This Property Life team are joined for a special panel show, by experienced builder, Paul Murray, about refurbishment projects and how to find and work with good builders.
It's an insightful conversation that also includes advice on how to avoid being scammed, costing refurbs, and the checks and balances that we as professional investors should have in place.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Reputation is everything when it comes to selecting a builder. Speak to people you know who may have employed builders. When they're found, look at reviews and testimonials. Building a good relationship with a builder can be the key to future projects. By building trust, we can expedite times by not having to search for tradesmen all over again. Paying cash for a job is perfectly acceptable, but always ensure you have paperwork from your builder. As professional investors, a paper-trail is a must. Stick rigidly to payment terms, Builders are under huge amounts of pressure when it comes to raw materials and payroll. Any agreement, from the off, must be honoured. Remember that builders have their own networks, too.
BEST MOMENTS
'Not all builders are created equal - I think that's the important thing to remember'
'Go and see the work. Any good builder will be open to that'
'You can have speed, price and quality, but you can't have all three at the same time'
'It's all about having that good relationship - open, honest and trusting'

This week, Mark Winship is in conversation with Martin and Stephen Sweeney, a pair of brothers, and the co-founders of The Sweeney Group. Over the past for years, Martin and Stephen have built an impressive portfolio of properties encompassing many different strategies.
In this episode, the brothers talk you through how they did it, including the best ways of raising finance and building your power team.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone realises that owning assets and working hard are the ways to get ahead and build wealth. The ones who actually build wealth are the ones who take action! Determination can only take you so far. Education is key to being able to recognise the strategy required in order to make a deal work. Risks are hard. By educating ourselves properly, and surrounding ourselves with a dedicated, knowledgeable team, we can push through any doubts and win big. We can only ever truly release ourselves from the "rat race" if we find a way to make money passively. There really is no better way to do this than in property.
BEST MOMENTS
'The only way to make real wealth is by having money-generating assets and working hard'
'He put up the capital and we provided the sweat!'
'Education is paramount'
'Having the dedicated team around us, we managed to work through it'

After establishing an impressive buy-to-let, social housing and HMO portfolio, Caroline Claydon and her husband were on the hunt for something bigger...
This week, Caroline talks you through the way in which they turned a guest house into a successful serviced accommodation opportunity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Hotels and B&Bs have excellent potential as serviced accommodation projects as they're basically already set up for that purpose. Location is crucial for this type of investment. Diversity in your client base ensures that you're always busy and that your investment is better protected. COVID has forced many to be more creative in terms of investment strategy. As ever, education has proved to be the key in remaining profitable.
BEST MOMENTS
'We needed guests to come to our hotel for more than one reason'
'There were lots of different exit routes in this deal'
'Any bookings that we've had have been a Brucie Bonus'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Darren Williams who has grown a multi-million pound property portfolio in and around the Lake District.
Darren discusses the many lesson he's learned during his property journey, including the right way and the wrong way to grow your portfolio, the importance of working with a mentor, and the challenges of refinancing under a limited company.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Education really is the key to unlocking your potential as an investor. Many are put off by thinking there is only one way to invest, when in fact multiple strategies can allow us to begin our property journey. Be as transparent as you can when it comes to deals. People are far more likely to accept offers if you give them more details. At the beginning of a property journey, we tend to want rapid results. The ones who have the great careers in property are the ones who develop patience. We buy properties to add value, so the worst thing we can do when investing is overspend on refurbishment. Property is along term investment. Far too many people panic over losing money and making mistakes, when in reality, all that's needed is care and patience.
BEST MOMENTS
'If I was educated back then I'd be a hell of a lot further along my journey than I am now'
'The more detail you can give, the more likelihood you've got of someone accepting that offer'
'The ones who don't make as many mistakes are the ones who are a lot more calm'
'The beauty of property is that it's really hard to fail'

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Markus and Elsie, the founders of EM Investments, who upon graduating from university, took the plunge into property investment, building an impressive portfolio of properties worth over £1.3 million, including buy-to-lets and HMOs.
Markus and Elsie discuss the ways in which they overcome the many challenges of beginning a property investment journey in a new country with no credit history, capital or support network to lean on.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Education is very important when it comes to investment. Knowing your strategies is crucial in allowing you to explore different approaches to each deal. Having a large sum of capital to invest is not always necessary. There are various strategies out there that you can work on to get going immediately, and which can generate cash for future deals. Perfecting the strategy is a key skill to develop. With each successive venture we increase our knowledge base, and knowledge is king. It can be worthwhile contacting landlords who are on the verge of retirement. They often have entire portfolios on offer. These ranges of properties are already proven and can be easily valued due to their already-in-place income.
BEST MOMENTS
'It's just mind-blowing what we can potentially do'
'We had zero connections, zero savings and zero credit!'
'What we do is work backwards...'
'Me being a risk-averse person, we keep doing what we know'

This week, Mark Winship is in conversation with Alex and Blair Collie, a father-and-son team who operate Barras Property, with a particular focus on Rent-To-Buy, and how this strategy has taken them to new heights in 2020.
Alex and Blair also discuss the many highlights of working as a family unit, and how to combat negativity on social media.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Many enter the world of property investment in the hopes of providing some sort of nest egg for the future. Property is one of the surest ways in which to provide this passive income throughout life. Property investment allows us to take control of our own destinies instead of relinquishing that control to someone else. Knowledge and determination are the keys to unlocking this destiny. There are so many different strategies out there to allow us to acquire and monetise property. Many are not aware of these various methods. Education is paramount. Many are turned down for various reason when it comes to mortgages. This leads to a feeling of being trapped. Rent-To-Buy is a way of releasing people from that feeling and allowing them the freedom to become homeowners.
BEST MOMENTS
'I never thought I would that this would become an accelerated plan, and that I would become a property investor'
'I understand how to leverage time, other people's money and knowledge and network. Education was absolutely everything'
'They have the pride that this is their home'
'It's amazing how many genuine opportunities there are to help people'

This week sees the introduction of the team’s very first panel show, where Mark Winship, Caroline Claydon and James D’Souza dicuss the podcast itself, reflecting on the launch process, and the invaluable insights gained from their gallery of guests, as well as the opportunities and challenges of property investment during lockdown.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investment can be a lonely enterprise. Coming together to share success and advice is an incredibly empowering way of keeping energised. 2020 has forced many to re-evaluate their entire lives, from education to employment. Property has become a go-to safe harbour, but even that world has changed. Holding your nerve is essential in this landscape. Everything is taking time, and many are pulling out of deals due to the doom-and-gloom news. The professionals know that patience is vital. Larger projects are great to work on, and can provide lasting revenue, but we must never forego the smaller projects that keep the food on the table. Never pass up an opportunity.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ve had to all learn very quickly, everything there is to know about podcasts!’
‘It’s all about pivoting and adapting the way we do things’
‘You can only control what you can control, which is the here-and-now’
'I’ve clocked off from those interviews and they’ve made me feel quite lazy!’

This week, Caroline Claydon talks to Tim Tsai, who after losing his life savings in a bad investment, took his financial education more seriously.
After two years, Tim managed to replace a six-figure salary through smart property investments all over the world. Tim joins Caroline today to talk about why due diligence matters so much, and how property strategies differ so much around the globe.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Far too man people work tirelessly to accumulate wealth, but then upon making it, curiously do not seem to want to work to make that wealth grow. Education doesn't only prevent us from making bad deals. It also teaches us about the right way of spending money on existing projects and investments. Money is a wonderful way to provide freedom, but it is not only freedom of lifestyle. It allows us to connect with our own spirituality and meaning. Parameters are constantly evolving. Not only must we keep an eye upon the housing market itself, but also the stock market. The slightest variation can mean a loss or gain due to fluctuating exchange rates.
BEST MOMENTS
'Every step that I took just strengthened that idea'
'Looking back, I didn't trust myself enough'
'Once you achieve financial freedom, you start to pursue meaning a little bit more'
'You made your decision based on performance - so why should property investment be any different?'

In this special episode, Mark WInship shares the details of a particularly special deal in this, the first "Deal Diary" episode, in which he discusses the ways in which you can earn a healthy net cash flow from properties you don't even own...
KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced accommodation properties are perhaps best known as short-let properties - the kind that Airbnb specialise in. They are short-stay properties, and generally involved additional services such as cleaning. If third parties are involved with the deal, it's crucial to ensure that they feel a sense of win-win, and that they will be satisfied with any proposals made. The most important keystone in serviced accommodation is to research and understand the demand, and the type of demand, in your target area.
BEST MOMENTS
'The beauty of rent-to-SA is that it's a very low-cost entry strategy'
'We wanted to establish a business relationship from the outset'
'Try and create win-win scenarios whenever possible'

This week, property investor James D'Souza, talks to dancer and choreographer, Tommy Franzen, one of the creative minds behind Strictly Come Dancing, who turned to property investment as a way of diversifying his income and planning for the future.
Tommy talks about how his property journey started, and how it's progressing, as well as the strategies that have worked for him.
KEY TAKEAWAYS We can never learn enough about the many strategies available in property investment. If we maintain our knowledge on the subject, we are able to remain more nimble when challenges arise. In the evolving landscape of the world right now, we must be open to new ways of employing our property portfolio, so that it works for us even in the darkest times. Look for ways to make our properties pay. Sometimes it can be useful to focus not just upon business, but on our own physical and personal wellbeing. By maintaining this balance, we keep ourselves alert and open to new opportunity. There is always an optimal set of variables for each property in terms of profitability. Sometimes it can be as easy as adjusting the letting agent, or refurbishing. By adjusting the variables in our favour, we increase the potential of our portfolio.
BEST MOMENTS
'Property is a safe and secure income. It's a safety net'
'There have been times when I'm flat out with both dance and property!'
'You have to develop yourself as well as your property'
'If you know someone who's been in the game for some time, then tap into them'

This week, Mark Winship talks to Alan Quinn, an experienced property investor who ignited his property career in the wake of a business sale, and who has built a diverse portfolio across many different strategies.
Alan discusses the importance of property education, creative ways to finance property deals, and where to start on your own property investment journey.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Wisdom can be taught, but it is far better absorbed if we learn by doing. On-the-job experience will always be far more effective than simply being told how things work. Be aware that certain strategies, such as subletting, can incur hidden costs. Make sure you consult those with knowledge on the subject, and prepare in an adequate fashion. There seems to be far less motivation to part with land than there does to part with property. Land seems to be easier to hold on to due to the low costs in simply doing nothing. Creating a solid, passive income, allows for a certain amount of freedom, not only in life in general, but also in investment terms. It can allow for deals that take far longer than usual, and which are not so reliant on instant profits.
BEST MOMENTS
'It was pre-internet, and pre-buy-to-let'
'I fell into serviced accommodation and I can honestly say that it was a very well-considered strategy'
'It's about knowing what you don't want, as well as knowing what you do want'
'I can make cash purchases with using a loan from my pension fund, and buy the property within a month!'

This time, Caroline Claydon talks to Dr Ana Attlee, who stumbled upon property as a way to save the planet, and who used investment to leave her job just five months later! While juggling motherhood and building a business on the side, Dr Ana built an impressive portfolio of properties, and in today's show, Ana talks about how she overcame her lack of self-confidence, and used the guidance of others to help propel herself upwards in both business and property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Success comes through commitment. Financial backing, and lack of knowledge are things that can be overcome. We must have the will to succeed. Mentors can help to guide us through the tough periods, when our determination seems to be failing. To know that someone has been there before, and that they managed to push through, can mean the difference between success and failure. Do your best to make sure that you have some kind of presence, so that potential investors can see who you are and what you can do. We need to recognise that different people work with different property strategies. Just because something doesn't work for us, doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
BEST MOMENTS
'By January, I had made more money than I had ever made in all my life'
'It's all about the mindset behind the idea'
'It starts to get more and more heartbreaking, to give these amazing houses away!'
'I am really lucky to have built myself a passive income'

In this episode, property investor and mentor, Mark Winship talks to Michelle Wales, co-founder of HAME Property, who has built an impressive portfolio of buy-to-let properties alongside working a full-time job, and bringing up a young family.
In this episode, Michelle talks about the importance of mind-set in property investing, the value of working with a mentor, and how to avoid the pitfall of comparing yourself to other people.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking control of time is imperative in making sure we get the most out of our day. It's important to make sure business is taken care of, but it should never be at the detriment of our personal lives and happiness. Nothing is impossible. Every obstacle is surmountable. The important part is perseverance. Push yourself and you can overcome any barrier. Risk can make us anxious, and it can be terrifying at times. But it is far better to tackle challenge than it is to regret having never taken action at all. If you can see that someone has walked the path before you, then it makes it far easier to visualise your own success. This is the value that a mentor can bring to your own endeavours.
BEST MOMENTS
'When you make the decision that something is important for your life and for your family, that you make the time'
'These are just challenges that you have to get through'
'The risk for me is, what if we had decided to do nothing?'
'You do put a cap or limit on yourself if you're not forced to think outside your box'
