They talk about the various property business models. Discussing the pros and cons. In particular, about serviced accommodation and staycations. Moving on to discussing the current economic climate and how it is likely to impact interest rates, house prices and the type of property people want to stay or live in. As well as discussing the current state of the travel industry and how it is likely to evolve. Finishing up by talking about the power of social media, how it is changing and how to leverage it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Staycations are here to stay, which is an opportunity for serviced accommodation. 
  • Regulations and tax breaks are likely to change, so the serviced accommodation model may not be as easy.
  • Multi-generational family holidays are a growing trend.
  • The travel industry is dealing with multiple challenges, which is why there have been cancellations. But things are getting better.
  • Which property business is right for you depends a lot on what your financial and lifestyle aims are. 
  • HMOs are once again in high demand, but they are challenging. Matt and Jeannette discuss the pros and cons of this business model.
  • Your personal brand is critical, but you really must be yourself.
  • Most skills are transferable. When you leverage them, you can achieve a huge amount.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I'm a working-class girl that's kind of worked her way up from scratch to becoming a corporate CEO and now an entrepreneur. So that's me in a nutshell. ´
‘People want experiences, whether that's overseas or domestically, and what I'm seeing is a lot of intergenerational travel.’
‘I think there'll be more stock coming on the market, I think prices will come down. As to whether there'll be a massive crash, like in 2007-2008, I'm not sure.’
‘If you're thinking about a change in your career. Just give yourself a bit of headspace, you know and do what's right for you, don't worry about what other people think.’
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
