Property Magic Podcast

• Creative Investing

  Simon examines the concept of creative finance investing, emphasising strategies that allow investors to minimise their cash input while maximising returns. He covers historical methods of no money down investing, the importance of finding motivated sellers, and various creative strategies such as joint ventures, private loans, and the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy. Simon also introduces the innovative freehold to leasehold title split strategy, explaining how investors can create significant equity through legal processes.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Creative finance involves using minimal or no personal money in property deals, allowing investors to maximise the number of deals they can undertake and achieve high or infinite returns on investment. Investors can collaborate with others through joint ventures or private loans, where someone else provides the necessary funds for a deal, enabling the investor to acquire properties without using their own money. The BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance) strategy allows investors to buy properties below market value, add value through renovations, and then refinance to recover their initial investment, often resulting in a positive cash flow and equity. Successful property investing relies on identifying motivated sellers who are flexible on price and terms. Understanding their problems and offering win-win solutions can lead to favourable deals. BEST MOMENTS "Creative finance is where we use as little of your money as possible. And why is that a good thing to do? Well, it means that you can do as many deals as you want." "If you believe you can or can't, you're absolutely right. And one of the ways to build your belief is by learning what other people are doing." "You can take control of the property... and in the meantime, you rent the property from the owner. This is great for a seller who really doesn't want the property anymore." "When you buy a freehold property, if you create the leases on the individual properties within that block, the cumulative value is often more than you can actually buy the block for."

• Understanding Deal Sourcing

  Simon delves into the world of property deal sourcing, offering valuable insights for both aspiring deal sourcers and seasoned investors. He covers the importance of finding great property deals, the criteria for identifying reliable deal sourcers, and the essential compliance measures they should adhere to. You will learn how to assess the quality of deals, the significance of having clear buying criteria, and the benefits of networking within the property investment community.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Deal sourcing involves finding investment properties for those who may have the funds but lack the time or expertise to locate good deals themselves. It can be a lucrative opportunity for both investors and aspiring deal sourcers. When looking for a deal sourcer, investors should assess their recent deals, training background, whether they keep some deals for themselves, and their compliance with industry regulations, such as membership in the Property Redress Scheme and registration with the ICO and HMRC. Investors should be cautious of deal sourcers who request upfront payments to find deals. Instead, it's advisable to pay a reservation fee for specific properties once they are identified, ensuring that the investment is based on tangible opportunities. Both investors and deal sourcers need to conduct thorough due diligence. Investors should clarify their buying criteria to act quickly on good deals, while deal sourcers should vet potential investors to ensure they are financially capable and serious about purchasing properties. Currently, there are more sellers than buyers in the market, creating opportunities for both investors and deal sourcers. Engaging in deal sourcing can be a profitable venture, especially for those willing to put in the effort to find and pass on quality deals. BEST MOMENTS "If you're finding great deals that you don't want, instead of wasting those, why not pass them on to other investors and either get paid a fee for that." "A good deal sourcer will have a one-page summary of each deal they found saying why it is a good deal." "If you are selling property to someone, unfortunately, a lot of people use property as a way of laundering money." "My very strong recommendation is do not pay anyone any money up front to find you deals." "Finding deals that you don't want and passing them on to other people is a great way to make extra money."

• Renters Right's Bill Update

  Simon discusses the pressing issues facing landlords with expert Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action and commercial officer for Hamilton Fraser. With a wealth of experience in landlord issues and a background in law, Paul shares insights into the recently proposed Renters' Rights Bill, which aims to reshape the private rental sector. They delve into the implications of abolishing Section 21 notices, the challenges posed by rising interest rates, and the importance of landlord education. Paul emphasises the need for landlords to adapt to changing regulations while maintaining good relationships with tenants.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Renter's Rights Bill is a significant legislative change in the private rental sector, aiming to improve tenant rights while also raising concerns among landlords about the potential impact on their ability to manage properties effectively. Despite challenges such as rising interest rates and regulatory changes, landlords are encouraged to remain adaptable and flexible in their approach to property management to navigate the evolving landscape. There is a strong emphasis on the need for landlord education to ensure compliance with new regulations and to improve the overall standard of rental properties, which can benefit both landlords and tenants. The current rental market is characterised by high demand and low supply, leading to increased rents. Landlords are advised to maintain good relationships with tenants to minimize turnover and avoid the costs associated with vacant properties. BEST MOMENTS "We were fed up with lawyers charging too much money. So we were the original company that did fixed fees in a three-step process because we basically were disruptors." "The landlord is a business, it's long term. We have a housing shortage. We have a social housing shortage." "If you keep prodding the bear, eventually it bites back. The bear biting back is a landlord selling a property. Who loses out? The tenant." "I think landlord education should be mandatory in some sort, even if it's just an online course."

• The Importance Of Consistency

  Simon looks at the crucial element of consistency in achieving massive success in property investing and business. As part three of a three-part series, the discussion emphasises that success is a product of massive action, the right strategies, and, importantly, consistency. Simon shares insightful examples, such as the importance of follow-up with potential sellers and the need for ongoing engagement in networking. By establishing consistent habits and rituals, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own practices and make necessary adjustments to enhance their success in property investing and beyond.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Consistency is crucial for achieving success in property investing and business. Many people give up too soon because they expect quick results, but it often takes time to see the fruits of their labor. Following up with potential sellers or leads is essential. A "no" does not mean "no" forever; it often means "not now." Consistent follow-up can lead to successful deals even years after the initial contact. Networking is a key component of property investing. Regularly attending local property network meetings helps build relationships that can lead to future opportunities. Consistency in networking is vital for long-term success. Establishing daily habits or rituals can lead to greater success. Just as brushing your teeth is a consistent habit for health, creating consistent actions in property investing can lead to financial independence. The formula for massive success is "massive action times the right stuff times consistency." All three elements must be present; if any one factor is missing, the overall result will be zero. BEST MOMENTS "Consistency is absolutely the key. Of course, we need to do lots of things, but the consistency is what makes the difference." "No does not mean no, never. It just means no, not now." "If you only do things once and you're not consistent, then you're not going to get the results." "Property is a people business. You need to have relationships with people you're working with, and those develop over time." "By being consistent with some good habits, you will not only become a more successful property investor but a more successful person generally."

• Are You Doing The Right Stuff?

  Simon continues the three-part series on achieving success in property investing by focusing on the importance of doing the right things. Building on the previous discussion about taking massive action, the episode highlights common pitfalls that aspiring investors often fall into, such as excessive time spent on social media, ineffective networking, and overindulging in free online content without taking action. Simon also discusses the value of creating content, actively engaging with new contacts at networking events, and implementing learned strategies rather than just accumulating knowledge.  KEY TAKEAWAYS While social media can provide inspiration, it's crucial to spend more time creating content and documenting your property journey rather than just consuming information. This proactive approach can attract potential partners and opportunities. Attend networking meetings with the intention of meeting new people. Collect contact details and schedule follow-up calls to build meaningful connections, rather than just collecting business cards without further engagement. It's important to gain knowledge, but at some point, you need to start implementing what you've learned. Successful investors often take action with the knowledge they have, rather than waiting to learn everything before making a move. Participating in paid training courses can provide a structured, step-by-step plan that simplifies the learning process. This can be more effective than sifting through overwhelming amounts of free online content. To achieve success in property investing, it's essential to combine massive action with the right strategies and maintain consistency. This three-part formula will lead to significant results in your property journey. BEST MOMENTS "You know you're wasting time if you're spending a huge amount of time consuming the information rather than creating the information." "Your network is your net worth. And a lot of people go to networking meetings. They collect lots of business cards, but they never really follow up." "The right stuff is to follow a proven plan which other people have followed and other people have got great results." "The most successful people I know are people who've come and done our training. They then just go and do it." "Investing in yourself is the very best investment you can make, followed very closely by obviously investing in property."
