This episode is dedicated to helping property investors overcome the common challenge of running out of their own money by using other people's money. The solution lies in raising one's personal profile, with Simon outlining three essential steps: consistently documenting your property journey on social media, actively seeking out and attending property networking events to meet potential investors, and preparing a concise, powerful elevator pitch

"The solution to that is start using other people's money. But for you to be able to use other people's money, people need to know about you."

"If someone is going to lend you money, first of all, they need to be aware of you. They need to know what you're doing, and also they need to know that you know what you're doing."

"I pay referrers fees. If you bring something to me and I end up buying their block of flats, I'll happily pay you a nice finders fee for your trouble."

"Think about what you're saying, write it down, script it, make sure it comes off the tongue so you can think about how you present it and use that opportunity. Remember, short and sweet is better. 15 to 20 seconds is all you need."

"If you think you can, or think you can't, you're absolutely right."

"What you need to do is put yourself into the shoes of the seller and understand their circumstances, where for some people selling their property, getting the sale done quickly and getting rid of this problem property is maybe more important than maximising the revenue from the sale."

Simon discusses overcoming mental blocks that hinder success in property investment, stressing the importance of taking action and addressing fears related to funding and self-worth.

He highlights common issues such as imposter syndrome and the fear of judgment, encouraging listeners to share their journeys on social media and engage with local property investor networks

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many investors face mental barriers that prevent them from taking action, often rooted in fear or self-doubt. Recognizing and addressing these blocks is crucial for progress.

It's important to make offers on every property viewed, regardless of current funding. This practice helps build confidence and negotiation skills, even if the offers are initially rejected.

Investors should evaluate the potential costs of accessing equity in their properties against the opportunity costs of not pursuing deals. This analysis can reveal profitable opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked.

Engaging with local property investor networks and sharing your journey on social media can help build connections and attract potential investors. Overcoming the fear of judgment is essential for growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"I feel a bit of a fraud... I don't want to use other people's money."

"If I take it out, I've got to pay redemption... I'm tied into mortgages."

"What other people think of you is none of your business."

"You need to say, OK, what does the price need to be in order for this to meet my criteria?"

Simon examines property market crashes and the potential financial pitfalls that can arise, such as negative equity and losses on investments. Drawing from personal experiences over 30 years of property investing, he shares insights on the 2007 market boom and subsequent crash, highlighting the importance of positive cash flow and strategic decision-making.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The property market can experience significant fluctuations, as seen during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. It's crucial to recognise that property values can decrease, leading to situations like negative equity.

Always prioritise properties that generate positive cash flow. This ensures that even during market downturns, you can maintain ownership without the need to sell under pressure.

To mitigate losses during a market crash, plan to hold properties for the long term. Selling during a downturn often results in financial losses, while holding allows for potential recovery as the market improves.

Everyone in property investment will encounter challenges and losses. It's essential to learn from these experiences, whether they are your own or those of others, to make informed decisions in the future.

BEST MOMENTS

"I’ve made some mistakes. I’ve lost some money on some deals. Now, obviously, I’ve made more than I’ve lost overall."

"The only people who lose money when the property market comes down are people who have to sell."

"If you’re following the five golden rules from Property Magic, you can rent it out and make cash flow. We don’t need to sell."

"It’s important to learn from mistakes. It’s better to learn from someone else’s mistakes rather than learning from yours."
