Practical Property Talk

END OF Q1

Wow three months down already of 2025. What a lovely sunny week, and what a good productive week at the 83 group.

Over a 1000 Direct to vendor letters now sent out in the last two weeks, leading to multiple meetings and opportunities already in the first few days of sending those letters out.

Adding new systemised templates to the working practice by using AI has helped shape the direction and working process in which we are trying to move forward to help us achieve the goals we have for 2025.

To sum up the month of March has been a good solid performing month and Q2 is getting off to a good positive start.

Until next week

Best regards

Gav

''Action breads results'' the sort of quote you expect to hear from a professional athlete in what it takes to succeed in sport. Well this week what a privilege to be joined by ex professional footballer Chris Ribeiro.. and much of the world of sport is very similar to life in property, highs, lows, tough, lonely, enjoyable, stressful, emotional the list goes on.

Chris describes to us how he has gone from the football game to the property game. Thankfully at 19 Chris started investing in property and when injury struck at just 27, Chris after a short call from the PFA realised he was alone and had to push forward himself, so he turned to property as his career away from sport.

Over the past 8 years since leaving football, Chris has been succeeding off the pitch at building portfolios not just for himself but also for previous team-mates. Offering a solution to life after the beautiful game to those that only know football.

''If you want more, do more'' sounds like a quote Chris has taken out of the dressing room but I totally agree this about some ups want it takes to push forward and succeed in property and life.

Loved the chat and until next time

we hope you enjoy...

Well what a week for 83 property group, we welcome on board Taylor Donaldson to the team to help push us forward to the next level of reaching more vendors and connecting more of our investors and developers to these vendors.

Welcome to the team..... already in week one we have worked on a new Direct to vendor system that has seen the 700 leads being generated to send out this weekend to potential opportunities.

That asides we are pushing forward with the sale of a portfolio of 8 properties we are hoping to wrap up by the end of the month, but can the solicitors get up to our speed and get this across the line.

Quitting your job two months into your property journey to go full time. Move 250 miles, ride 20 miles on a fold up bike to do viewings...

Thanks to this week's guest Milly of @postingproperty we get a great insight into the efforts we as investors go to... Milly's story in property is more than interesting and has been incredibly challenging. From listening back to the conversation we had what an amazing and inspiring person Milly is to the rest of us. The motivation to pursue goals and dreams no matter what life sends our way runs through the conversation.

From a background of advertising im lucky enough to get a brief yet very effecting piece of training in regards to being more effective using social media, a tool in which many investors turn to to build they brands and seek investment.

Until next time enjoy the listing and a massive thank for you sharing since a interesting story .

Well this week sees the start of another project by us at 83 property.... Joe heads off for a much deserved break while Gav heads to the emptiness of a field to take part in the great tommy sleep out..

The main topics and points of conversation from meetings this week, have been 'lets make it personal'

Do we celebrate enough, do we enjoy the journey, do take back what we put in. How do we enjoy it, what does enjoyment for us look like?

Sometimes its good to stand still and take in what you up to and the direction you going in..

Until next week best regards ..

Imagine starting investing in property before the BTL mortgage was an option... This week we have Ian McBain Senior join us from Estuary living. We at 83 property have the pleasure to be apart of the developers club that meet monthly to which Ian and his son are a big part of the group.

Ian shares his story from buying his first property in 1988 for 6k to how he has followed his family to Southend in Essex where they now operate. How years of investing was blown away when they attended a property seminar and learnt how to change a house to a HMO.

What an interesting story Ian shares how fulfilled he feels after starting out to pass something to his kids to know where it's more of a ''hobby than a job''.

''Keep putting yourself out there'' and ''going through the process'' are part and parcel of the key to success when it comes to succeeding in property. Although there are bumps in the road like when a major income stream was turned off with the covid lockdown Ian and his family have taken action to push forward to build a nice portfolio up.

As always, what a pleasure to hear some great tales of life in property.

Thanks Ian ....

and until next time enjoy the listen

As the new month starts we see our monthly meet up… a lot of time and energy goes into running the network and event BUT this hold us accountable and we find it very motivating to be around the network…. The introduction and development of AI is going to be very interesting in the coming months for the property world and the 83 property group.

Wows, another month down... 83 property have had a great month and has been very positive with plenty of properties being sent into legals.. we have agreed to sell two of our properties we had on the market aswell as shift on one of our original properties.

Working hard with our client base and connecting investors and developers to our vendor list is starting to build a very strong pipeline which is going to help us achieve our somewhat ambitious goals for 2025

Property managers... a key and critical part of property business.... So this week we were lucky enough to have Benjamin Lawrence reach out and join us to talk over his experiences as a property manager..

we trade stories of tenants and get a management agents point of view rather than the bias of the landlord, an interesting insight from the ''other side''

How agents have to manage both the expectations of both the tenant and the landlord, you hear tails of landlords who have tried to do repairs themselves just to save in the sort term. A story of one rogue landlord fixing his roof with vinyl flooring will be discussed.

It was good to hear that the gao is being shorten and the standard of landlord is rapidly improving with more professional landlord coming into the market.

Certainly was for us the landlord and investor and interesting chat and to hear it from the point of view of a management agent.

Until next week, enjoy!

This week has flown by and feels as though not much has happened… but it’s been one of those weeks where it’s the behind the scenes work that makes the busy weeks seem better.

Those admin days and meetings that need to take place in order for the pipe line to be so strong…
