Today Dan speaks with James Green, ex-professional Rugby league player having earned over 100 caps for his boyhood club who know runs a successful mortgage brokerage and invests in Property.

Dan and James draw synergies on how being successful in sport can lead to being successful in business.

James also provides an overview on the current things to look out for in the current market if you have or are looking to take out a mortgage.

About James:

James played professional rugby for around 10 years and had a successful career playing in Super League, helping his club reach the challenge cup final. Throughout the later years in his career, seeing the older players invest it sparked his interest in the property world where he decided to invest and study to become a broker. A few years on after telling his old boss to shove it, he now has several members of staff, ex-players themselves providing homeowners and investors with mortgage and insurance advice/products helping them buy their dream home.

Today, Dan talks with Ryan French on all things mindset and how key this is to success.

About your guest Ryan French:

In Ryan's teenage years he enlisted into the Army and was recruited into the Rifles Regiment becoming one of their most successful recruits and their best rifleman. But it wasn't always that plain sailing. Unfortunately Ryan left the army before he wanted to and went into a bit of self destruct mode. But what is more important is how we dealt with the issues he faced and how he overcame his battles. 

Focusing on several mentors, coaches and taking it upon himself to better himself, Ryan is now a successful businessman who assists corporate clients in changing their mindset and helps them hit their targets. Listen in on how he manages to do this!

Tom Atkinson was an electrician who fell into property sourcing, having sold a deal and making more than his monthly wage he knew that sourcing was for him. 

Dan and Tom speak about various points on the podcast including Tom's biggest business challenges so far, mindset, time saving property tips and Deal sourcing compliance. 

A Key take away from this podcast is that you should always be tracking your business. If you haven't tracked it, then do it now.

Today, Dan talks about what you can buy if you have less than £50,000. There are properties out there that are under £100,000 believe it or not and it is about finding these and knowing what it is going to cost you when you buy.

Dan also breaks down the costs involved when buying a property so you can build all of these costs in at the beginning, knowing what you will be spending. These figures may differ depending on who you use and where you are in the country.

- Passive income – is it really passive?

- Always evaluate the market and adjust if needed

Today, Dan talks about his first property deal he secured for him and his business partner. This was a 2 bedroom buy-refurbish-refinance opportunity in Hull which had been a great little project, now being let out achieving a high yield and great return on investment.

The reason Dan talks about this property deal is to show what types of deals are available in Hull and what him and his business partner looks for. Fortunately, this project was pretty easy going and has been a great rental since, despite a few minor issues.
