  • Raising Finance with Sean & Kevin
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin talk about how you can raise finance as a property investor. Kevin shares his decades of experience in raising cash including the two main ways to raise finance. Sean also talks about the importance of borrowing and how to challenge your own limiting beliefs around money and lending. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whilst you might not be able to ask family and friends for cash, that doesn’t mean someone close to you won’t be interested. Kevin managed to raise finance from a colleague, from just a conversation at work. Sean’s mindset had to change when he discovered he was unable to get a loan he needed as he had no credit score. His mindset around borrowing money shifted even further when he started to attend Progressive Property events. As long as you tell people what you are doing in your property business, they will want to lend money to you. Always conduct thorough due diligence as an investor, ensuring you understand the proper terms. The money goes where the knowledge is, so go to property networking events, both locally and nationally. BEST MOMENTS "Most of the people that knew me were as broke as me” “You can raise money from total strangers as well” “Even though I’d never needed a loan in my life suddenly my mindset shifted totally and I realised that when I needed to borrow money I had to build a credit file” “People will lend you money” “You should not be lending money on handshakes” “The money goes where the knowledge is” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.

  • How Rent-2-Rent & Deal Packaging Saved Me with Kevin McDonell
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean interviews previous host Kevin McDonnell. Kevin shares his journey from a farm in rural Ireland to becoming a multi-millionaire property investor. He reveals his painful mistakes buying off-plan properties abroad that left him £100,000+ in debt and how he transformed his life through property strategies like rent-2-rent. If you haven’t heard Kev’s story already, this episode will leave you inspired and informed. If you’d like to learn more from Kevin, he has written multiple books on property investing, including No Money Down Property Investing and Multiple Streams of Property Income. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kevin began with zero property knowledge, making mistakes by investing in off-plan properties in Europe that put him over £100,000 in debt, this is why proper education before investing is crucial. After hitting rock bottom at age 35, living in a shared house and in debt, Kevin discovered rent-2-rent and deal packaging strategies that allowed him to become debt-free without needing significant capital. By moving into his first rent-to-rent property and subletting the other rooms, Kevin eliminated his own housing costs while simultaneously generating income to service his debt. Kevin emphasises that mindset and environment are critical success factors; surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people creates opportunities that reading books alone cannot provide. From his initial failures, Kevin built an 18+ million pound portfolio with over 100 properties, 18 businesses, and several bestselling books, demonstrating the power of consistent action. Kevin's success formula is to believe in yourself and take the first step, surround yourself with like-minded people who share your vision and take massive action without fear of rejection. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that property was the thing that put me in debt. But actually, the only thing that could get me outta debt was property." "Most people don't wanna change. They're full-time in a job, and they're building their boss's dream. But if you put as much effort into yourself as you do into building your boss's dream, you'd become successful." "If you've read my book three times and it's not made you a millionaire, reading it a fourth time's not gonna make any difference. But maybe working with the guy who wrote it would." "I'm not trying to buy a hundred houses. I never did. I just wanted to buy one. I now own over a hundred, but I only ever started to buy one."

  • Is Reform UK the Answer to Britain's Housing Crisis?
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean and Kevin discuss Reform UK party's housing policies as the UK approaches local elections. They challenge you to question your political allegiances and examine how Reform's proposed housing policies could impact the property market. Kevin talks about brownfield development, landlord incentives and the controversial Section 24 tax, while encouraging listeners to think independently rather than following family or media-influenced voting patterns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reform UK proposes accelerating housing projects on brownfield sites, particularly in coastal regions, with a loose fit planning policy to simplify large residential developments Giving landlords grants or interest-free loans to renovate empty properties could quickly address housing shortages, bringing hundreds of thousands of empty properties back into use more efficiently than new construction. Reform UK proposes prioritising local residents and those contributing to the system for social housing. Reform's proposed repeal of Section 24 tax (which removed mortgage interest relief for landlords) could potentially reduce rental costs by bringing more landlords back to the market, increasing available housing stock. Current landlord regulations are paradoxically driving up rents and forcing stricter tenant criteria, as landlords need more protection and higher margins to compensate for increased risks and costs. BEST MOMENTS "I don't vote for anybody, so don't say, 'oh, here's a thing for Reform.' I'm not a fan of anybody. I'm just somebody who believes that the country's needs change. It needs reform." "The reason that rents are high is because there's a shortage of properties. The reason there's a shortage of properties is because landlords are leaving the market... Not everybody wants to buy. People at university don't want to buy. They want to rent." "Question how you look at things. Don't be triggered. Be more focused. Don't be triggered. Be more analytical. Don't be triggered. Be more open-minded." "We have lunatics running the asylum. They've never run a business... How can they run the biggest business that there's ever been? The country... We've got people in there that I wouldn't hire in my business, and it's a small business."

  • Real Estate, AI and How it Affects the Property Investor
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Kevin switches roles as he's interviewed by Miha "MJ" Jain, a university student researching artificial intelligence and virtual reality in real estate. They talk about how AI and VR might change property viewings, inspections and investor relationships. Kevin shares the potential benefits and challenges from multiple perspectives; as an investor, letting agency owner and property mentor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Virtual reality could revolutionise property viewings for international or out-of-area investors, allowing them to experience properties remotely without travelling, potentially seeing areas both during day and night to get a complete picture. VR technology could enhance property management through virtual inspections, enabling landlords to remotely view properties during move-ins, move-outs, and periodic inspections without physically visiting. Trust remains fundamental so while VR offers enhanced visualisation compared to photos or descriptions, the relationship with the estate agent remains crucial as clients must trust the accuracy of virtual representations. Early adoption of VR/AI presents a dilemma as businesses must balance being innovative against the financial risk of investing in rapidly changing tech that may become outdated. For local property purchases, where buyers are making significant life investments, VR will likely supplement rather than replace physical viewings, as people will still want to "touch and feel" properties. International investment markets may see faster VR adoption since investors often purchase properties without viewing them, focusing primarily on location and investment potential rather than specific property features. BEST MOMENTS "One of the things I would find really helpful with virtual reality is not just necessarily on the viewing of the property before you buy it, but the midterm inspections, if that could be done in a virtual reality way, that would be amazing." "I would not buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour. I would watch the virtual reality tour to identify what it baseline looks like. Then before I'd make my offer, I want to go into that house and view it.” "It's going to change everything we do. And it's a little bit scary at the same time because, especially AI, it's almost like Arnold Schwarzenegger was right. Terminator is coming into reality." "But at the end of the day, I'm a human being. I want that interaction."
