  • Freehold to Leasehold Title Split

    Many property investors and developers will come across large properties that would work well if split into a number of smaller units, but sometimes the cost and process can be prohibitive.

    In this week’s show, Simon explains an advanced strategy known as 'Freehold to Leasehold Title Split’, which can allow you to do that very thing, but in a far easier way.   

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Look instead for properties that have already had the conversion work done. You must make sure that the property is a freehold property, and that none of the leaseholds have yet been created.
    • You don’t necessarily need to know every strategy under the sun. It’s far better to know the strategy that works for you and your chosen area, and stick to it.
    • By assigning leases to each of the split units, we increase the potential selling price of each unit. Often the leases are not created by the original landlord.
    • Leaseholders pay a ground rent, plus service charges, to the freeholder. If you are the freeholder, you essentially create another revenue stream for yourself each year, or you could sell the freehold as an entirely different entity.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Keep on repeating the strategy that works for you like a cookie-cutter, and you can make a lot of money’

    ‘You’re buying something, you’re splitting it up, thus increasing the value’

    ’Now that is what I call property magic!’

    ‘Find the finance and do the deal!'

  • 22 Questions You Must Ask Property Owners

    Believe it or not, there are 22 crucial questions that a potential investor needs to ask a property seller, but hardly any of us ever actually do.

    In this week’s show, Simon talks you through all 22, so that you’ll be better able to recognise the real deals when they appear, and avoid the hidden pitfalls along the way...  

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Open questions are vital when talking to sellers. You need to get them to talk! Remember to listen attentively and tailor your responses accordingly.
    • Discovering when a seller bought a property will give you a valuable indication of the kind of capital growth they’ve accumulated since their purchase. This makes bargaining a whole lot easier.
    • It’s important for you to understand the tenants you may be inheriting when you buy the property. The contracts they’ve agreed may well impact the plans you have for the property.
    • Timescales can give you a far greater insight into the seller’s motivations. It can also provide you with a much better footing when it comes to negotiations.
    • An ethical win-win solution all round is what you’re seeking. By asking how you can make the seller happy, while spending the least amount of money, you ensure a balanced, satisfactory outcome for both parties.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It’s really important never to make assumptions’

    ’The key is to ask a question, and then really listen to the answer’

    ‘You really need to understand what you’re taking on’

    ‘What’s the lowest you will accept… and still be happy?'

  • How to Step Change Your Investing Success

    Can you drastically accelerate your investing results and save years of time? What is the crucial difference between training, mentoring and coaching? Where can you find the essential guidance that will super-charge your property journey?

    In this week’s show, Simon lays out an invaluable set of guidelines that can help you to step-change your investing success immediately!

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • At the start of any property journey, all you have is your common sense and a will to succeed. It’s perfectly possible to win success without training, but you can get there faster if you get some training!
    • The best self-investments are the ones that ensure you have some “skin in the game”. Actual investment alters your psychological attachment to a piece of advice.
    • When selecting a mentor or coach, you must find someone who has successfully completed the journey that you wish to embark upon, and crucially, someone who is still keeping their knowledge up to date.
    • Your education should always come risk-free. Does the mentor that you’ve selected offer a way in which you can investigate them without risk? The best ones always do.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ’The best investment you can make is in yourself'

    ’The very best real-estate investment you can make, is in the eight inches between your two ears'

    ‘Would you rather take 8 years, or 8 months?’

    ‘I’ve become very good at simplifying concepts, and making them easy to understand'

  • 6 Ways to Turbo-Charge Your Investing Success

    This week, Simon shares six simple, practical ways in which you super-charge your investment plans today. From simple decision making, to making sure you’re educated effectively, these six pointers will guide you swiftly towards the finish line!

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Make a decision - sometimes it’s a simple as making a commitment to yourself and to your strategy. Don’t waste time. 
    • Time is your most valuable resource. Remember that you can always earn more money, but you can’t ever earn back the time you waste.
    • Make sure you have your finance ready. Not having the correct funds in place can hamper your enthusiasm for looking for deals in the first place.
    • Build your network. Your network is your net-worth. By surrounding yourself with valuable voices, you’ll come across lucrative deals far more often.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I didn’t realise how profitable and beneficial that would be!’

    ‘Making mistakes is a very expensive way to learn’

    ‘If you have an open mind, then you can always improve and become better’

    ‘If you get good at finding great deals, then there are people out there who will work with you'

  • Advanced Rent to Rent Secrets

    In the second part of his look at the rent-to-rent property strategy, Simon talks about how much you should be paying to a landlord, how best to convince them to engage with your proposed strategy, and which contracts you need to have in place!

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Always ensure that the profit you’re making is enough to cover your costs, and still make it worth your while. The rule of thumb is to make at least £100 profit per room.
    • A cash buffer is crucial. All landlords experience unexpected void periods from time to time, so ensure you have enough to see you through these times.
    • When approaching a landlord, don’t enquire about the potential rent their property can make, but how much it is currently
  • Contracts are essential, and need to be drawn up by solicitors who know what they’re doing. These contracts will generally be either commercial leases or a management agreement.
  •  

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘In the right circumstances, rent-to-rent can be a very powerful cashflow generator’

    ‘You only ever buy a property in an area with strong rental demand’

    ‘Remember that this is a numbers game’

    ‘Rent-to-rent is a bit like the wild west at the moment'

  • Introduction to Rent to Rent

    In this week’s show, Simon provides an introduction to one of the most discussed, yet most invaluable property strategies: rent-to-rent.

    Simon walks you through the best ways in which to make rent-to-rent work for you, the advantages and disadvantages involved, and how to find the best rent-to-rent deals out there.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Rent-to-rent involves finding a property owner with a rental property, renting it from them for a fixed sum each month, and then letting out the property in your own way.
    • Minimal investment is required. Contracts and legal documents are the main expense, but minor refurbishment may also be necessary.
    • It’s important to note that this strategy provides profit in the short-term, but because you don’t own the property, you will not benefit from long-term capital growth.
    • Look for landlords advertising their properties, or rooms in their properties on sites such as Gumtree. Networking events, also, are a great places to meet landlords who may be disillusioned by their portfolio.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ’This has been one of the fastest ways for people to replace their income’

    ‘Rent-to-rent is a great way for you to test the market’

    ‘Whatever you put into a property, you want to make sure you get that back in profit within the first year’

    ’There’s no point taking on a property if you’re not making enough profit from it'

  • How to Raise Your Profile to Attract Investors, Property Deals & JV Partners

    One of the biggest barriers for many property investors is money! Some feel that they don’t have enough, while others are anxious about running low.

    In actual fact, there’s plenty of money out there waiting to be invested. It’s all about unlocking these cash reserves from potential investors and partners, and the best way of doing so is to raise your personal profile in order to become noticed, and in this week’s show, Simon tells you exactly how to do it.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Do the people in your life know what it is that you do, and how you do it? You should be telling everyone, and in as much detail as possible.
    • Build your social presence relentlessly. Never mind what negative people say, that’s what the ‘Unfriend’ button is for. Social media is a fantastic way to boost your profile and find investors.
    • Facebook and LinkedIn tend to promote posts that have a larger engagement. When you post there, consider the ways in which you can make your audience interact.
    • It’s always worth talking to, and emulating, those who have built successful networks. Even a financial outlay can save you masses of time, and is well worth the investment.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It’s really important for you to get out of your own way’

    ‘It’s none of your business what other people think about you’

    ‘I invest money to save my time’

    ‘If you are the best kept secret, no one is going to approach you'

  • How to Quickly Build Your Portfolio With Momentum Investing

    Many think that the fastest way to make money in property is to acquire, refurbish and then sell on. But as Simon discusses this week, there might be a more powerful strategy available to you; one that will allow you to recycle the cash you already have invested, and which uses momentum to super-charge your portfolio in no time.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Equipping yourself with as much education as possible from the outset will ensure that you have a wealth of strategies to call upon when for each opportunity.
    • Often, people make the mistake of not factoring in long-term capital growth when deciding upon the fate of a property that’s up and running.
    • Momentum investing is the art of discovering a motivated seller, obtaining their property for a discount, and then re-mortgaging within months so as to release the investment capital for future ventures.
    • Rather than simply putting money into a property and leaving it there, you can force the appreciation through creative thinking and strategies.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘You make your decisions based on the knowledge you have at the time’

    ‘We want to hold property long-term’

    ‘Letting time work its magic is a great strategy’

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • In October 2018, licensing requirements changed. Any property with five or more tenants now requires a license. For more guidance speak to the HMO licensing department of your local council.
    • A National Landlord Association accreditation course can provide an exhaustive course on all landlord responsibilities, as well as mean a discount on your council license fee.
    • Minimum room sizes also play a part in whether your property requires a license. Some councils have interpreted this in their own way, so check with the relevant department.
    • Planning permission is always required for properties containing seven or more people, as you will be changing the identity of the building into a “class of its own”
    • If you need planning, seek the HMO department of your council and ask them if Article 4 is in effect, and when it came in. This can spark a gold rush in some areas among investors.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ’Some see this as a revenue-generating exercise. It’s not supposed to be that’

    ‘Once you understand it, it’s actually a very straightforward process’

    ‘Councils don’t like lots of HMOs in concentrated areas. They call it student-ification’

    ‘You can make very expensive mistakes just by not educating yourself'

  • The Recession Proof Investing Strategy

    In this week’s show, Simon offers one of his favourite strategies for those looking to insulate themselves against a prospective recession. 

    It’s a method that provides any property investor with the quickest way towards replacing their income. By following Simon’s expert guidance, you’ll be making profits almost immediately!   

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Houses Of Multiple Occupation (HMO) consist of a property where three or more unrelated people share some of the facilities, but retain autonomy over their own specific areas.
    • The magic number for any HMO is six people in a property, and a good, well-run HMO, should always be netting you around £1000 in profit every month.
    • It’s wise to learn the ins-and-outs of how property management works, but the end game should always be to become hands-off. Once you’re making enough profit, give the task of property management to a specialist and reduce your workload significantly.
    • HMOs are the ideal accommodation for those who may be looking to tighten their belts due to the effects of the quarantine, or the expected future recession.
    • If your property is of a better standard than those in your local area, you’ll never have problems in renting it out. People are visual creatures and are drawn to well-designed, well-equipped habitats, so do the work!

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ’This is a great way to put a safety net in place’

    ‘It’s not easy, and it takes time. But it’s far less effort than working for the rest of your life’

    ‘When times get tough, there’s always a huge demand for these types of properties’

    ’The key is to find the great properties, and then educate yourself about how to manage them'
