In this podcast, Simon shares a handful of carefully selected strategies that require little to none of your own money, and which will enable you to get your property empire up and running in no time. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Normal mortgages are for 75% of a property’s value, with you having to find the other 25% as a deposit. Many people use their own money for this, and when they run out of operating funds, have to stop and wait until they build up their reserves before buying more.
• It’s vital that you keep up to speed with changes in the market when it comes to mortgage and investment products. If the system you’re using today is defunct tomorrow, then will you still be able to make money?
• Property network meetings are an essential place to attend in order to find investors and build relationships with people who can help you.

Rent-To-Rent - You take on a property from another landlord and rent it. You rent the property in a different way and increase the income in such a way that you cover the costs and still make a profit.

Purchase Lease Option (PLO) - As well as renting out a property on behalf of a landlord, you include in the contract a right-to-purchase option at the current market value, any time in the next few years depending on the contract length. If the property rises in value during this agreement term, you can buy at the original price and come into possession of a property that’s now worth much more.

Joint Venture - You find a great property deal and do the work on seeing to it that the property is worth the investment. Your venture partner then provides the initial equity, and you agree a percentage share in any profits.

Private Investor Loan - Obtaining a private loan from an investor, and instead of offering profit share, investors receive a fixed return.

Vendor Finance - Find someone with a property they want to sell, and who doesn’t necessarily need the money from the sale immediately (IE: want to simply put the money in the bank). Offer full market price for the property to these vendors, with you providing 70% of the purchase price through finance, and with the vendor leaving 30% of the value in the property.

Development opportunities that can add significant value to a property are wonderful opportunities. Sometimes the owners of these properties don’t have the knowledge or skills to do the job themselves. By finding these people and negotiating agreements, you can develop these properties and produce significantly higher prices once developed.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Is it really possible to buy property with none of your own money?’

‘If you can buy properties with very little or no money up front, then there’s no limit to the amount of property you can control’

‘You need to make sure you find people with similar values and objectives’

’There are lots of people with money in the bank that’s doing absolutely nothing for them’
