Building on Solid Foundations

EPISODE 014: Deal analysis and the processes.

This week's episode Dan and Gary are going to deep dive into the world of deal analysis and the processes behind it. They are going to explain how they find, fund and finish a deal, what to look out for and practical tips to use for your property journey.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Firstly thanks for tuning into our podcast.

We are Dan Hulbert and Gary Sandford and what we share in our podcast is practiced by us. We can back up our content with over 50 years combined experience in construction and property industries. Both Dan and Gary started on the tools and progressed their careers in construction management. Both their paths lead to wanting to work for themselves and pursue a career in property, which they did.

They now share this combination of Practical Property experience and Building Knowledge. There are a lot of moving parts in property and the world is saturated with theory, but what we are craving is practical wisdom.

EPISODE 013: Building the Business with Dan Hulbert and Gary Sandford.

Hulsford Property Group is born and I am delighted to bring my business partner Gary Sandford onto the show to discuss how it has come about and for you to get to know him and his experience.

Gary Sandford has been in and around the construction industry for over 30 years, starting out as a bricklayer, then working his way through to Assistant Manager, Site Manager, Project Manager and then on to Contracts Manager and everything in between.

After having enough of the life of building homes and completing projects for other people, he started up on his own, eventually helping other investors to reach their goals and completing over 90 HMO's.

5 years ago Gary started investing in himself, which has proven very successful. Last year he attended Strategy Implementation Live, where he met Simon Zutshi and subsequently joined the 29th Property Mastermind Programme which has ultimately helped him move forward faster than he ever thought possible - not only in the number of deals done, and investments but in problem solving, out of the box thinking and relationship building.

ABOUT THE HOST:

Firstly thanks for tuning into my podcast.

My name is Dan Hulbert and what I share in my podcast is I practiced. I can back up my information with over 20 years experience in the property and building industries. My journey started on the tools in flipping properties with my Dad. I then went on to maintenance works and multitrade refurbishments. I decided in 2010 to go it alone and set up and run my own building firm and now I support and coordinate property investors refurbishment projects.

There are a lot of moving parts in property and the world is saturated with theory, but what we are craving is practical wisdom.

Since 2014 I have been providing support, guidance and advice for property investors on their HMO refurbishments and small commercial conversions. This support comes in different ways:

FREE Content - Building on Solid Foundations, FB Group, YouTube Channel and Podcast.

Education and Training programmes.

1:1 Project Coaching.

Project Consultancy Packages.

Alongside running my business I have been building my own portfolio where I source and refurbish the projects and work with private investors that want to gain a greater return than the banks can offer. If an earn and learn scenario sounds interesting to you please reach out.

EPISODE 011: Go from Comfort to Growth!

Do you like sitting in front of the TV in your PJ's and Slippers with a nice cup of tea? Well I know I do from time to time because I feel comfortable and cozy ready to relax and recharge. This is great but I wouldn't want to do this all the time because I want to grow. This episode is going to go through the four zones Comfort, Fear, Learning and Growth. The Property industry is very much about stepping out of your comfort zone and progressing towards the Growth zone.

Dumbass decisions and defects!

When viewing properties I see so many DUMBASS decisions being made by Landlords and I think this is because they are old school and stuck in their ways. Tenants must take responsibility too but there is defo a two way street here.

I also see alot of defects because of these decisions. In this episode I go through how to view a property with building knowledge and also offer some top tips on how to get a better price on your offers.

Enjoy the episode.

EPISODE 009: Lockdown doesn't mean shutdown!

We are hitting another lockdown or more restrictions but this doesn't mean you have to shut down. This is where your faith, imagination and activity come into play. It really matters what you are thinking and what you are doing at this time. Are you a cup half empty or a cup half full because you will be tested and will need to be strong through this time.

Dig deep and push forward!

EPISODE 008: How to create a winning build team!

There are a lot of moving parts and people to manage in refurbishments which even the most experienced investor can miss or underestimate at times. One of the main things is finding the right build team as the refurbishment or build can make or break the deal. Through practical experience I have worked out how to create a winning build team and I would like to share this with you.
