Property Jam

In this episode, we really get very into the human side of property with property investor and all around lovely person Benjamin Nichols! We talk about how Ben is putting the great back into Grimsby (and perhaps the ham back into Birmingham), his interest in genealogy and connecting long lost families across generations, as well as the very human property subjects such as children's housing and altruistic HMOs - helping children in the past and present!

This week we're joined by Donna McCloskey, 'queen' of midlands property and the inventor of 'Fizzy Fridays'. She talks to us about the importance of celebrating every win, (whether it be a 'prosecco' win or a 'champagne' one), having a partner in both life and business, and the other great connections that are so important in the world of property. Enjoy!

Thinking hats on Property Jammers! We all know (at least, we hope you know) that there are no easy answers, simple fixes, or universal truths in property. This means that there aren't shortcuts to success - it takes a lot to learn how to do it right. In this episode, the gang chat through the different ways that people can approach property from the wrong angle, and how they can feel pressured to give out quick, informal advice in a space that is more about the marathon than the sprint.

A corker of an episode this week on Property Jam - we have the host of the Property Voice Podcast Richard Brown with us today, talking about how one can start with a plan, and end up somewhere very different as time goes on. Richard calls this "Fix and Flex" - adapting to what comes at you and changing your plans accordingly. We also get in to all manner of topics, such as the importance of meaningful conversations, nights out in Rio, and what advice we would give our younger selves: enjoy! Check out Richard's podcast "The Property Voice" on Apple Podcasts.

This week on Property Jam - the market is hotting up! The gang discuss how to 'play a different game of property chess' depending on how the market is doing, how the risk of loss is actually greater in a market like this, as well as discussing what the future of the market is and the advantages that we have in the current moment.

Another fun-filled episode with a returning guest, joining us in this episode, we got Tej Singh of Tej talks. We tackled knowing the difference between real and fake friends in the property industry. A great and insightful discussion this week even though Jo had connection issues. Lots of bants were shared so we hope you enjoy this good one!

Property Jam is two years old! Time really flies so fast when we're having fun! Join us in this episode as we celebrate another milestone by sharing some stories on how and why we started our own little show, just three property mates, three mics, talking about 'human side of property' and lots of bants! Here's to many more 'human side of property' stories, banters and going off on tangents with you guys.

Another fun and guestless episode for you all this week! In this episode, we talked about how important to practise proactive maintenance even though it comes with a five-figure bill, it for sure does the job of keeping the property in good shape in the long run. A lot of bants and tenant-landlord stories as well!
