Health is important if you're trying to make something of yourself. Without it you might as well not bother. Money is no use to you if you're dead or incapacitated. In this episode I will cover three biohacks, as they call them nowadays, all of which are free to do, and that can improve your health and prolong your life!

Last episode I looked at making travel arrangements. In this episode I look at the requirements and decisions in selecting your accommodation. Obviously, this is an window into my likes and dislikes as a traveller. I explain why I dislike AirBnB, and what I demand form hotels. These are the sort of decision your guests will be making in choosing whteher to stay in your SA/HL. So hopefully a useful insight for SA and HL investors.

Most of us will be travelling to residential courses and so forth. Our guests will be travelling to stay with us. So I delve into the getting there part of it in this episode and in the next I examine the accommodation part of it.

My resources - the apps and services I use to find travel tickets (updated July '24):

GoogleMaps.com

aggregator Kayak.com

information: nationalrail.co.uk

10% back with Uber.com for train tickets (excludes tfl travel cards and some other journeys. 10% returned tas Uber credit a ffew days later)

app: TrainSplit - this is great for taking those slightly slower trains on longer journeys and saving a lot of moeny on your tickets

Kayak.co.uk great for air ticket deals. Hacker fares are ones where you combine tickets from different carriers that are cheap meaning you may fly out one way and back another but you'll make a saving. Watch out it doesn't take too much longer - no point saving £10 and having a 10 hour wait where you connect flights!

Now we know the election result I thought it would be a good time to look at news, propaganda and what the future holds for us. I also talk about what news to focus on and what is simply a distraction, or worse.

I travelled down to Uckfield in East Sussex to meet with Jenny Carter-Vaughan, Managing Director of the Expert Insurance Group to talk about, well, insurance. As property investors we are exposed to all kinds of risks that don't apply tomoeowners but most of us are simply not covered by whatever insurance we do have. You should insure to protect your own interests, but if you have investors then it's esential you protect their investment with you. I suspect that a vast majority of property investors are incorrectly and under insured. Does that include you? Find out in this episode!

Networking is essential to any business, and none more so than property: it's a people business. People often get stuck on the basics, i..e. talking to people, but that's the easy bit. The sophistication is in the execution. I talk about both, and where to network. Towards the end of the episode I reveal something that means networking is easier for you than it is for me!

I first started using digital marketing back in the late 90s. I've been running a digital agency for over a decade now, and this episode gives some tips on the everyday house-keeping you need to do for your online presence.

I had a ride in an Uber a in early 2024 and the driver was complaining how he worked really hard but, year after year, never seemed to have anything to show for it. He explained how that was happening, and by the end of the 25 minute journey I'd made suggestions to him that he said would make him thousands better off each year. This episode I explain what I did for him and how you can apply the same thinking to your personal and business finances.

I will post a link here to all the relevant suggestions in this episode very soon. If you have a specific request in the meantime, then simply email me at [email protected] and I'll get back to you with the link/s required.

People typically think that their mortgage is a friendly tool. Perhaps it was those Woolwich adverts years ago. Either way, a mortagge is a piranha and if you don't keep it fed it'll kill your portfolio!

This applies to both residential mortgages, and even more to Buy-To-Let and Commercial borrowing.
