  • Risk & Resilience in Property
    In this episode, Emma delves into the crucial themes of risk and resilience in property investing. She emphasises the importance of taking calculated risks to foster growth and success, distinguishing between reckless and informed decision-making. Emma shares personal anecdotes and inspiring quotes, including one from Nelson Mandela, to illustrate that failure is not the opposite of success but rather a stepping stone on the path to achievement. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a significant difference between reckless risk and calculated risk. While reckless risk is emotional and blind, calculated risk is thoughtful, strategic, and informed, which is essential for success in property investing. Resilience is crucial for overcoming setbacks. Failure should not be viewed as the opposite of success but rather as a part of the journey. Learning from failures and bouncing back is what builds resilience. Growth occurs outside of comfort zones. Taking small, calculated risks, such as starting a new property business or changing strategies, can lead to significant advancements in one's property journey. Challenges, whether big or small, can test one's mindset. It's important to recognise that feelings of doubt or fear are common and that overcoming these challenges can lead to personal and professional growth. Success in property investing combines a strong strategy with a resilient mindset. Taking bold actions, learning from setbacks, and maintaining a positive outlook are key to achieving property goals. BEST MOMENTS "Calculated risk is thoughtful, strategic and informed. If you stay in your comfort zone, you're just going to be staying in the same place." "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." "Failure is not the opposite of success. It's just part of success." "Embrace what you don't know. It can become your greatest asset." "Remember that fear doesn't mean you should stop. It means you just need to stretch yourself."

  • #026 The HMO Expert’s Playbook: Richard Leonard Unfiltered
    In this episode, Emma interviews Richard Leonard, a seasoned property investor with over 30 years of experience and a portfolio worth £4.2 million. Richard shares his inspiring journey from a side hustle in property to becoming an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) expert, driven by personal challenges and a desire for financial freedom. He discusses the intricacies of managing a growing portfolio, the lessons learned from his experiences, and the significance of providing high-quality living spaces for tenants. KEY TAKEAWAYS A significant life event, such as a child's illness, can serve as a powerful catalyst for change, pushing individuals to pursue their passions and make bold decisions in their careers. Specialising in high-end Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) can lead to better tenant retention and satisfaction, as well as higher rental income. Creating a desirable living environment is key to attracting quality tenants. Building strong relationships with contractors, HMO officers, and tenants is crucial for success in property management. Effective communication and collaboration can streamline processes and enhance tenant experiences. Implementing a proactive approach to tenant management, including quick responses to issues and incentivising referrals, can help maintain low vacancy rates and foster a positive community within properties. The property investment landscape is ever-changing, and staying informed about market trends, regulations, and best practices is essential. Embracing a mindset of continuous learning can lead to long-term success in the industry. BEST MOMENTS "I think there's two. Obviously my family. That's my big why. I do it for them. But I also do it for myself." "I guess part of it is, you know, we've sort of everything we've done since, you know, sort of 2012 has really been focused on HMOs." "I think a lot of people are scared off by, oh, it's too difficult. There's too many moving parts. It's not. It really isn't." "You can't manage an HMO laying on the beach. You've got to be there, you've got to be present." "I always think it's like, you know, playing rugby. Anyone who says, oh, you could just get into property investing, it's all play-saving, forget it."

Embracing a "get it done" attitude and being a problem solver can lead to significant achievements, even in challenging environments. Effective communication is essential in property management. Adapting your communication style to connect with different individuals, whether they are tenants or landlords, can lead to better outcomes and resolutions. Identifying and addressing gaps in the property sector can create opportunities for success. The speaker's initiative to establish a Rent Arrears Support Service during the pandemic exemplifies how recognising unmet needs can lead to impactful solutions.

  • #024 From Redundancy to Refurbs: Darren’s Leap into Property Success
    In this episode, Emma Howitt engages in an insightful conversation with property expert Darren Burrows. Emma and Darren explore the critical mindset shifts necessary for success in the property business, emphasising the importance of collaboration, delegation, and creative strategies. Darren shares his personal journey from managing projects to building a legacy in property, highlighting his extensive experience in refurbishments and project management.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Emphasising the importance of collaboration, delegation, and outsourcing in property management is crucial for success. Many individuals initially try to do everything themselves, which can lead to costly mistakes and inefficiencies. Having a background in project management and construction can provide a significant advantage in property development. Understanding the various moving parts and being able to foresee potential issues can help in delivering projects smoothly. Effective marketing is essential for success in property. Building relationships with estate agents and utilizing social media are key strategies. Consistency in marketing efforts often outweighs knowledge and experience. Exploring innovative building techniques, such as Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) and spray cork, can lead to more efficient and sustainable construction practices. These methods can reduce labor costs and improve energy efficiency. Being prepared for setbacks is vital in property development. A thorough planning process, including contingency plans, can help mitigate risks and ensure that projects stay on track despite challenges. BEST MOMENTS "One of the biggest mindset shifts is the ability to understand you've got to collaborate, delegate, outsource stuff. A lot of people want to try and hold on to everything and do everything themselves." "You have some huge experience, huge transferable skills, and you've got something really amazing to add onto that." "If you can get all of those boxes ticked before you even start the project, you've thought about all that... you can foresee what's going to go wrong before it goes wrong." "I'm a big advocate for looking at all the different technologies, putting it all together in one package and then just using that." "You know, you're actually being selfish if you're not sharing that because someone else is experiencing that as well."

  • #023 Redirecting Energy: Turning Comparison Into Positive Action in Property Investing
    In this episode, Emma delves into the detrimental effects of comparison on your property journey and offers practical strategies to overcome it. Emma emphasises that comparison can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and distraction from personal goals. Emma shares insightful quotes and encourages listeners to focus on their unique strengths, practice self-compassion, and redirect their energy towards actionable steps that foster growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Comparing yourself to others can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and wasted energy. It's essential to recognise that everyone's journey is unique and to focus on your progress instead. Be aware of what triggers your feelings of comparison, whether it's social media, networking events, or conversations. Understanding these triggers can help you manage and avoid them. Focus on your own goals and measure your progress against your past self rather than others. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small, and use key performance indicators (KPIs) to track your achievements. Be kind to yourself and recognise that everyone's journey is different. Allow room for mistakes and growth, and avoid harsh self-criticism by treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer to others. When you catch yourself comparing, pause and redirect that energy into productive actions that move you forward in your property journey. Focus on tasks that contribute to your growth and success. BEST MOMENTS  "Comparison is the thief of joy." "You don't know what their situation is. You don't know whether they have just been given a whole massive chunk of money." "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms." "The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday." "Energy spent comparing yourself to others is energy wasted. Invest it in your own growth."  HOST BIO Emma Howitt is a seasoned property coach, mindset expert, and entrepreneur with many years of experience in transforming lives through property investing.
