Property Magic Podcast

Simon shares insights on the five common mistakes property investors might already be making as the new year begins. Emphasising the importance of taking action early, he encourages you to start viewing and making offers on properties, especially as motivated sellers emerge after the holiday season.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people delay viewing properties and making offers after the holiday season. Taking action early in January can lead to securing great deals, especially from motivated sellers looking to offload properties. There is an online training day on January 10th featuring top property experts. Registering for such events can provide valuable insights and strategies to make 2026 a successful year in property investment. It's crucial to have a well-defined plan for what you want to achieve in 2026. Break down your goals into actionable steps to track your progress and stay focused throughout the year. Many people set goals that are too easily achievable. Instead, aim for ambitious goals that challenge you and require you to learn and grow, pushing you beyond your comfort zone. BEST MOMENTS "If you haven't started yet, frankly, I think you're missing out. I really encourage you as an action for this podcast is get viewing properties, start making offers and see what happens." "If you fail to have a plan, you're going to fit into someone else's plan. I'm a great believer in not only setting your goals but also coming up with a plan." "Why not set goals that are so big, you don't know how to achieve them? That's a good thing. Stop worrying about the how, instead focus on what do you actually want to achieve." "The early bird catches the worm, take action. And I look forward to sharing future podcasts with you over this year, 2026, which is going to be an amazing year to invest in property."

Simon shares a personal journey of realising that a traditional job would not lead to long-term financial freedom. Reflecting on his time as a graduate trainee at Cadbury's, he discusses the limitations of a secure job and the importance of diversifying income through property investment KEY TAKEAWAYS The journey began with the understanding that a traditional job, even in a dream role, may not provide long-term financial security or freedom. True wealth often requires additional income sources beyond a salary. The initial foray into property investment started with renting out a first home to students, which led to a profitable venture. This experience highlighted the potential of real estate as a viable income source. Attending events like Tony Robbins' Wealth Mastery was pivotal in learning about wealth creation and the importance of diversifying income streams. Continuous education is essential for financial growth. While the decision to leave a stable job for entrepreneurship was daunting, it emphasised the importance of planning and gradually building assets before making such a leap. Starting part-time investments can mitigate risks. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to be truly wealthy, if you want to be financially independent... a job alone is not enough." "The decisions you make will shape your life. Where you are right now is a result of all decisions you've ever made." "I would never recommend anybody gives up their job; it's much better to start investing in your part time." "Now is the time to commit to your financial future. 2026 is going to be the year... to become financially independent."

Simon discusses the importance of not letting the uncertainties of 2025 hinder your property investment opportunities in 2026.  With interest rates beginning to stabilise and a buyer's market prevailing, the episode emphasises the need for proactive investment strategies. Simon outlines the five golden rules of property investing, highlighting the significance of buying from motivated sellers and focusing on properties that generate positive cash flow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Successful property investment relies on five key principles: buying from motivated sellers, focusing on areas with strong rental demand, ensuring positive cash flow, holding properties for the long term, and maintaining a cash buffer for unexpected expenses. The new Renters Rights Bill, effective in 2026, introduces significant changes to property management. While it may make it harder to evict tenants, good landlords who manage their properties professionally should still be able to navigate these changes effectively. High-end HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) and serviced accommodation (short-term rentals) are highlighted as the two main strategies for property investment in 2026. To succeed in property investment, it's crucial to be educated and informed about the market. BEST MOMENTS "I think there's a huge opportunity cost of you not acquiring property in 2026." "The Renters Right Bill is coming in. It's been signed off by King Charles. It is law." "If you are a good landlord and you're doing things correctly, you should be okay." "In many areas there's an oversupply of HMOs. It's got to be high-end which look better."

Simon explores the important concept of "you don't know what you don't know" in the context of property investing, emphasising the dangers of assuming you have all the knowledge necessary for success, sharing personal anecdotes from his 30 years of experience in the field.  Simon also discusses the significance of continuous learning, the value of working with specialists, and the importance of maintaining an open mind to avoid costly mistakes KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to recognise that you don't know everything. Continuously seek to grow your knowledge and expertise in property investing to avoid making costly mistakes. While theoretical education is important, practical implementation is essential. Engage in property investing actively to gain real-world experience and insights. Work with specialists who have relevant experience in their fields. However, be cautious as even experts may not know everything, particularly in niche areas of property investing. Stay open to new ideas and approaches. Question your current methods and seek better, faster, and more effective ways to achieve your goals. BEST MOMENTS "You see, the decisions we make are based on the knowledge, the past experience, and our beliefs that we hold at that time." "If you get to the point where you think you know everything, that can be very dangerous. You can make some very expensive mistakes." "You're never going to know everything about property investing. I don't know everything about property investing." "Using experts and consultants can massively speed up your journey."

Simon explains a simple process for finding discounted property deals in your area right now, with the key being to leverage the current low-competition period (such as December) by focusing on motivated sellers and utilising effective search and negotiation strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Act immediately as competition is typically low during social periods (like December), meaning those who implement the advice straight away have a higher chance of securing a deal. Focus solely on motivated sellers for whom the speed and certainty of the sale are more important than achieving the full price. Look for properties that have been on the market for a long time, have had price reductions, or have had previous sales fall through. When searching online (e.g., Rightmove, Zoopla), limit your search results to about 40-60 properties to avoid being overwhelmed, and look for red flags like out-of-season photos, duplicate listings, or properties listed by out-of-town agents. Make an offer on every property you view, aiming for a rejection initially to open a negotiation where the seller will offer the highest price they're willing to accept. BEST MOMENTS "If you implement what I'm suggesting you straight away, I guarantee you will find some really great deals in your area that maybe be saving you tens of thousands of pounds off the normal purchase price." "We always want to look for motivated sellers. These are people for whom the speed and certainty of the sale is more important maybe than the price they're going to get." "You can look for people where maybe the sale has fallen through, or maybe where the property the price has been reduced, or maybe they're listed with multiple agents to try and sell that property." "We want to make an offer, we want them to reject the offer. Because if they accept your offer, it means you have paid too much."
