ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Firstly thanks for tuning into our podcast.

We are Dan Hulbert and Gary Sandford and what we share, we practice and can back up the content with over 50 years combined experience in construction and 12 years in property investment and development. Both our journeys started on the tools and progressed our careers in construction management. We were both craving more and wanting to work for ourselves, this separately led to pursue a career in property. We were both traveling down our own B-roads and came together to create our very own A road where we are investing, developing, and educating others in property and together created the Hulsford property group and Building on Solid Foundations.

We decided it would be a good idea to share this combination of Practical Property experience and Building Knowledge through our podcast. We understand there are a lot of moving parts in property and the world is saturated with theory, but what is needed is practical wisdom and that is exactly what we offer.

Our main focus is working with local authorities in London to provide them Emergency housing, where we are currently working with 10 different local authorities. We provide quality property on a rent-to-rent basis and we work with private investors to fund those opportunities. Since June 2020 we have supplied over 1,000 units and helped over 10,000 people in need of a place to stay and be secure.

In today's episode, Dan talks about one of his favorite TV programmes and picks out some lessons from a particular episode where the project is still not finished to this day. One of the key insights for Dan is that people go into property investing with an emotional mindset and they should be making decisions like a business owner.

Dan talks about the 5 mistakes property investors make when undertaking a project.

1. Defects and unforeseen
2. Detail and Planning
3. Budget vs Actual
4. Contracts and Control
5. Management and Responsibility

We hope you enjoy the episode.

Is property a quick buck? We live in an instant gratification world and property doesn't work like that. Today's episode is a discussion on this quick buck world, digging into how education is missold at a subconscious level and how people today want to sow the seed and immediately harvest the crop without actually cultivating it.

Enjoy the episode.

Today's episode spurred from a poll we put in our Building on solid foundations facebook group and the question was "Do you need property education to make it?" YES or No and the responses were a unanimous YES. One of those people was Charlie Tarr, a successful property investor and founder of Stacked, he suggested we have a conversation on facebook so we did and here it is.

Enjoy the episode.
