The Importance Of Raising Your Profile
This episode is dedicated to helping property investors overcome the common challenge of running out of their own money by using other people's money. The solution lies in raising one's personal profile, with Simon outlining three essential steps: consistently documenting your property journey on social media, actively seeking out and attending property networking events to meet potential investors, and preparing a concise, powerful elevator pitch
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The biggest challenge for most property investors is running out of their own money, which can be solved by learning how to use other people's money (OPM).
To attract OPM, people need to know about you, know what you are doing, and know that you are competent, which requires consistently documenting your property journey on social media.
When posting on social media, include sentences like: "My new property business is I help people who need to sell property quickly, and I help investors get a great return on their money" to be clear about your offering.
Investors should actively attend paid networking and training events to meet other investors who may have money but lack the time or knowledge to find deals themselves, and be ready with a clear, concise 15-20 second elevator pitch.
BEST MOMENTS
"The solution to that is start using other people's money. But for you to be able to use other people's money, people need to know about you."
"If someone is going to lend you money, first of all, they need to be aware of you. They need to know what you're doing, and also they need to know that you know what you're doing."
"I pay referrers fees. If you bring something to me and I end up buying their block of flats, I'll happily pay you a nice finders fee for your trouble."
"Think about what you're saying, write it down, script it, make sure it comes off the tongue so you can think about how you present it and use that opportunity. Remember, short and sweet is better. 15 to 20 seconds is all you need."
