KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Delayed gratification is about building assets for income streams, equity and making money for the future. Save a pound today and that will be worth so much more in the years to come. 
  2. If you decide it is time to take out a credit card you absolutely must set up a direct debit to ensure the full amount is paid every month, this is non-negotiable. If you find it hard to keep track, make weekly payments. This has to be the way forward so that you can learn financial discipline. 
  3. There are many common mistakes people repeatedly make when getting into property. One of them being ‘shiny penny syndrome’ this meaning that they do too many strategies not very well. It is wise to start small so that you can get experience and understand where all the risks and control points are. 
  4. We are taxed on everything in the UK  but there is no capital gains tax on owning your own property. Capital growth has got to be around 5% a year, with that being said by getting a fixed 2-3% rate on a mortgage for your home, you will essentially live in your house for free or even make money on it. 
  5. These are the times where the rubber meets the road. Residential is generally less risky and in the last recession, commercial was hit harder, however, next time it may be another industry affected. The next recession will not be like this one and different businesses get affected in different ways. You don’t know what will cause the next recession so now may be the time to diversify into other tenant types. 
  6. Many people will have goals they wish to achieve but rather than cracking on with it, will procrastinate. It is important to have the ‘start now get perfect later’ mentality. As you progress you will instinctively see more risks and problems. Start small and therefore the risks are going to be smaller.
