Property Magic Podcast

Simon examines the innovative strategy of freehold to leasehold title splitting, a method that allows investors to create equity from existing properties. Building on the previous discussion of creative finance, the episode outlines how to identify opportunities in the property market where freehold buildings have already been converted into self-contained units. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

"The freehold to leasehold strategy really is property magic, because you literally create equity from thin air."

"It's very important that you find apartments or flats where they are fully self-contained and they do not have shared kitchens or shared bathrooms."

"Most landlords who own these buildings never bothered to create the leases because they didn't need to."

"This is an advanced strategy... I'm giving away this strategy on this live online training because I want to help you make more money."

Simon examines the concept of creative finance investing, emphasising strategies that allow investors to minimise their cash input while maximising returns. He covers historical methods of no money down investing, the importance of finding motivated sellers, and various creative strategies such as joint ventures, private loans, and the BRRR (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent) strategy.

Simon also introduces the innovative freehold to leasehold title split strategy, explaining how investors can create significant equity through legal processes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

"Creative finance is where we use as little of your money as possible. And why is that a good thing to do? Well, it means that you can do as many deals as you want."

"If you believe you can or can't, you're absolutely right. And one of the ways to build your belief is by learning what other people are doing."

"You can take control of the property... and in the meantime, you rent the property from the owner. This is great for a seller who really doesn't want the property anymore."

"When you buy a freehold property, if you create the leases on the individual properties within that block, the cumulative value is often more than you can actually buy the block for."

Simon delves into the world of property deal sourcing, offering valuable insights for both aspiring deal sourcers and seasoned investors. He covers the importance of finding great property deals, the criteria for identifying reliable deal sourcers, and the essential compliance measures they should adhere to.

You will learn how to assess the quality of deals, the significance of having clear buying criteria, and the benefits of networking within the property investment community. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Deal sourcing involves finding investment properties for those who may have the funds but lack the time or expertise to locate good deals themselves. It can be a lucrative opportunity for both investors and aspiring deal sourcers.
• When looking for a deal sourcer, investors should assess their recent deals, training background, whether they keep some deals for themselves, and their compliance with industry regulations, such as membership in the Property Redress Scheme and registration with the ICO and HMRC.
• Investors should be cautious of deal sourcers who request upfront payments to find deals. Instead, it's advisable to pay a reservation fee for specific properties once they are identified, ensuring that the investment is based on tangible opportunities.
• Both investors and deal sourcers need to conduct thorough due diligence. Investors should clarify their buying criteria to act quickly on good deals, while deal sourcers should vet potential investors to ensure they are financially capable and serious about purchasing properties.
• Currently, there are more sellers than buyers in the market, creating opportunities for both investors and deal sourcers. Engaging in deal sourcing can be a profitable venture, especially for those willing to put in the effort to find and pass on quality deals.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you're finding great deals that you don't want, instead of wasting those, why not pass them on to other investors and either get paid a fee for that."

"A good deal sourcer will have a one-page summary of each deal they found saying why it is a good deal."

"If you are selling property to someone, unfortunately, a lot of people use property as a way of laundering money."

"My very strong recommendation is do not pay anyone any money up front to find you deals."

"Finding deals that you don't want and passing them on to other people is a great way to make extra money."

Simon discusses the pressing issues facing landlords with expert Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action and commercial officer for Hamilton Fraser. With a wealth of experience in landlord issues and a background in law, Paul shares insights into the recently proposed Renters' Rights Bill, which aims to reshape the private rental sector.

They delve into the implications of abolishing Section 21 notices, the challenges posed by rising interest rates, and the importance of landlord education. Paul emphasises the need for landlords to adapt to changing regulations while maintaining good relationships with tenants. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The Renter's Rights Bill is a significant legislative change in the private rental sector, aiming to improve tenant rights while also raising concerns among landlords about the potential impact on their ability to manage properties effectively.
• Despite challenges such as rising interest rates and regulatory changes, landlords are encouraged to remain adaptable and flexible in their approach to property management to navigate the evolving landscape.
• There is a strong emphasis on the need for landlord education to ensure compliance with new regulations and to improve the overall standard of rental properties, which can benefit both landlords and tenants.
• The current rental market is characterised by high demand and low supply, leading to increased rents. Landlords are advised to maintain good relationships with tenants to minimize turnover and avoid the costs associated with vacant properties.

BEST MOMENTS

"We were fed up with lawyers charging too much money. So we were the original company that did fixed fees in a three-step process because we basically were disruptors."

"The landlord is a business, it's long term. We have a housing shortage. We have a social housing shortage."

"If you keep prodding the bear, eventually it bites back. The bear biting back is a landlord selling a property. Who loses out? The tenant."

"I think landlord education should be mandatory in some sort, even if it's just an online course."

Simon looks at the crucial element of consistency in achieving massive success in property investing and business. As part three of a three-part series, the discussion emphasises that success is a product of massive action, the right strategies, and, importantly, consistency.

Simon shares insightful examples, such as the importance of follow-up with potential sellers and the need for ongoing engagement in networking. By establishing consistent habits and rituals, listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own practices and make necessary adjustments to enhance their success in property investing and beyond. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Consistency is crucial for achieving success in property investing and business. Many people give up too soon because they expect quick results, but it often takes time to see the fruits of their labor.
• Following up with potential sellers or leads is essential. A "no" does not mean "no" forever; it often means "not now." Consistent follow-up can lead to successful deals even years after the initial contact.
• Networking is a key component of property investing. Regularly attending local property network meetings helps build relationships that can lead to future opportunities. Consistency in networking is vital for long-term success.
• Establishing daily habits or rituals can lead to greater success. Just as brushing your teeth is a consistent habit for health, creating consistent actions in property investing can lead to financial independence.
• The formula for massive success is "massive action times the right stuff times consistency." All three elements must be present; if any one factor is missing, the overall result will be zero.

BEST MOMENTS

"Consistency is absolutely the key. Of course, we need to do lots of things, but the consistency is what makes the difference."

"No does not mean no, never. It just means no, not now."

"If you only do things once and you're not consistent, then you're not going to get the results."

"Property is a people business. You need to have relationships with people you're working with, and those develop over time."

"By being consistent with some good habits, you will not only become a more successful property investor but a more successful person generally."

Simon continues the three-part series on achieving success in property investing by focusing on the importance of doing the right things. Building on the previous discussion about taking massive action, the episode highlights common pitfalls that aspiring investors often fall into, such as excessive time spent on social media, ineffective networking, and overindulging in free online content without taking action. Simon also discusses the value of creating content, actively engaging with new contacts at networking events, and implementing learned strategies rather than just accumulating knowledge. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• While social media can provide inspiration, it's crucial to spend more time creating content and documenting your property journey rather than just consuming information. This proactive approach can attract potential partners and opportunities.
• Attend networking meetings with the intention of meeting new people. Collect contact details and schedule follow-up calls to build meaningful connections, rather than just collecting business cards without further engagement.
• It's important to gain knowledge, but at some point, you need to start implementing what you've learned. Successful investors often take action with the knowledge they have, rather than waiting to learn everything before making a move.
• Participating in paid training courses can provide a structured, step-by-step plan that simplifies the learning process. This can be more effective than sifting through overwhelming amounts of free online content.
• To achieve success in property investing, it's essential to combine massive action with the right strategies and maintain consistency. This three-part formula will lead to significant results in your property journey.

BEST MOMENTS

"You know you're wasting time if you're spending a huge amount of time consuming the information rather than creating the information."

"Your network is your net worth. And a lot of people go to networking meetings. They collect lots of business cards, but they never really follow up."

"The right stuff is to follow a proven plan which other people have followed and other people have got great results."

"The most successful people I know are people who've come and done our training. They then just go and do it."

"Investing in yourself is the very best investment you can make, followed very closely by obviously investing in property."

Simon looks at the concept of taking massive action in property investing and how to overcome procrastination. He introduces the "massive success formula," which emphasises the importance of combining massive action, doing the right stuff, and consistency to achieve significant success in real estate.

Simon outlines key steps for aspiring investors, such as finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and building a network. He also shares valuable resources, including Mel Robbins' "The 5 Second Rule" and Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog," to help listeners take immediate action and tackle their most challenging tasks. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To achieve success in property investing, it's crucial to take massive action, which includes finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and following up on potential deals.
• Procrastination can hinder progress. Utilising techniques like Mel Robbins' "5 Second Rule" can help prompt immediate action on opportunities instead of delaying them.
• Attending networking events and connecting with others in the property industry is essential. Building relationships can lead to potential partnerships and funding opportunities.
• Books like "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy can provide strategies for managing tasks and prioritising actions that lead to success in property investing.
• Regularly assess what actions you need to take and what activities may be holding you back. Creating a "don't do" list can help identify unproductive habits that need to be eliminated.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you want to achieve huge success, there are three things you need to do and you need to do them together." 

"Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of massive action."

"The more action you take, the better results you get."

"If you do that frog, that difficult task, everything else on your list seems easy in comparison." 

"You need people to know you, like you, and trust you, and that only comes with time."

Simon launched his latest business, www.CrowdProperty.com, in 2014, which is an FCA Regulated peer to peer lending platform to facilitate loans between private individuals and property professionals.

Simon outlines a straightforward five-step process to help you find and secure your next property deal. He explains the importance of identifying motivated sellers, who are more likely to be flexible on price and terms, and stresses the need to quickly run the numbers to determine if a property is a good investment before arranging a viewing. It's packed with practical advice for both novice and experienced property investors looking to enhance their strategies and achieve better results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Focus on identifying sellers who have a property-related problem and are motivated to sell. This can lead to better deals, such as discounts or flexible terms.
• Before investing time in viewings, quickly assess whether a property is a good investment by calculating cash flow and return on investment to ensure it meets personal investing criteria.
• Only arrange viewings for properties where the numbers work and the seller is motivated. This helps build rapport and allows for better negotiation opportunities.
• Always put in an offer for properties you view, even if the initial offer is rejected. This opens the door for negotiation and can lead to better terms.
• Recognise that a rejection does not mean a deal is off the table forever. Follow up regularly with sellers to maintain interest and potentially secure a deal later on.

BEST MOMENTS

"Step number one, we need to learn how to find motivated sellers. They're people who've got a property related problem."

"In just five minutes, we can work out what's the cash flow, what's the return on investment, and is this going to meet our personal investing criteria?"

"We want them to reject the first offer we make... we want them to counter offer to see if you can get anywhere close to the price you were suggesting."

"If you want to be a truly successful property investor, you need to recognise that actually, no doesn't mean no, never. It just means no, not now."

"Investing in property is not easy, but it's very straightforward, and this five-step process is gonna save you a huge amount of time."

Simon delves into the repossession process in the UK, highlighting the challenges faced by property owners who fall behind on their mortgage payments. He discusses the ethical implications of purchasing repossessed properties and suggests a more compassionate approach: buying properties before they are repossessed. By doing so, investors can help homeowners avoid the negative consequences of repossession while still acquiring properties at a fair price. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In the UK, around 40,000 homes are repossessed each year, often due to homeowners failing to keep up with mortgage payments. The process involves multiple steps, including court hearings and potential eviction by bailiffs.
• Instead of purchasing properties after they have been repossessed, investors are encouraged to seek out homeowners in financial difficulty before the repossession occurs. This approach can provide a more ethical solution that benefits both the investor and the homeowner.
• When a property is repossessed, the homeowner may face additional costs that increase their debt, such as legal fees and court costs. By negotiating a sale before repossession, homeowners can potentially receive money from the sale, helping them avoid long-term financial repercussions.
• Investors should look for signs of motivated sellers, such as properties with decreasing prices or descriptions indicating urgency to sell. These clues can help identify homeowners who may be facing financial difficulties.

BEST MOMENTS

"Many property investors look for repossessed properties... but there are two problems with doing that."

"I would actually like to suggest that a better way to buy repossessed properties... would be actually buying them before they are repossessed."

"Most sellers, most motivated sellers... bury their head in the sand and sometimes leave it too late."

"If you can pay off the mortgage in full, they can actually get that property back."

Simon discusses the concept of ethical property investing, emphasising the importance of creating a win-win situation for both investors and motivated sellers. He highlights the various reasons why individuals may need to sell their properties at a discount, such as financial difficulties, medical issues, or personal circumstances. Through real-life examples, Simon illustrates how understanding the seller's needs and providing genuine solutions can lead to mutually beneficial outcomes. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It's crucial to recognise that motivated sellers often view their property as a burden rather than an asset. They may be facing financial difficulties, personal issues, or deadlines that make selling their property a priority.
• Successful property investing should focus on creating a win-win situation where both the seller and the investor benefit. This involves genuinely helping sellers solve their problems while also achieving a profitable outcome.
• Engaging in open conversations with sellers is essential. By asking the right questions and listening to their needs, investors can better understand the seller's situation and provide tailored solutions.
• There are unethical practices in property investing that can harm sellers. It's important to maintain integrity and avoid taking advantage of vulnerable individuals, ensuring that all transactions are fair and transparent.
• Building trust and providing genuine help can lead to referrals and future opportunities. Positive interactions can create good karma, which may result in more business in the long run, reinforcing the idea that ethical behaviour in investing pays off.

BEST MOMENTS

"We need to ask great questions, listen to what they say, respond and have this conversation... finding out what's most important to them."

"If we can find people and prevent them from being repossessed... then that's much better than facing the inevitable of being repossessed."

"We want to have this win-win, where we're helping them and also we're benefiting as well."
