How To Capitalize on Opportunities and Stay Competitive In Property Investing

Property investing has always been a cornerstone of wealth-building, but today’s market presents unique challenges and opportunities. With the rapid pace of population growth in Ireland and the UK, demand for housing is skyrocketing, creating both pressure on existing infrastructure and potential for savvy investors to capitalize on the need for new developments. However, raising finance for property deals remains a critical hurdle, especially as many landlords exit the market due to dwindling incentives and rising costs. Understanding how to navigate the market is essential to staying competitive in this ever-evolving landscape.

In this episode of the Solid Foundation's Property Podcast, Pauric and Lisa discuss how to raise finances, develop a winning strategy, shift our money mindset, and address the housing crisis. They also explore current market challenges and share valuable tools to help you maximize returns, capitalize on opportunities, and stay competitive by positioning yourself to win.

Investing 101: Tips From Over 30 Years of Experience in Real Estate || Garrett Peers 

Investing in real estate can be very rewarding, especially when done out of passion. Garrett Peers has been in the real estate game for over 30 years, and he joins Pauric and Lisa in this episode of the Solid Foundation Podcast to share more about his secret tips to success. Through real estate, Garrett found a way to express his creativity by buying run-down buildings and adding value to them, bringing life to once a lifeless property.  

Garrett shares that one of the secret cards to his success is having the right team of contractors, engineers, a legal team, and surveyors. Though finding the right people takes time, mentorship can come in handy.  No matter your experience level, having a mentor, such as a property investment coach, is crucial. They can guide you through the complex aspects of real estate investing and help you avoid common pitfalls.

Additionally, it is important to experiment with different investment strategies, especially less popular ones, and learn through experience. Making mistakes is part of learning and helps you become a better investor. Garrett also emphasizes that success in real estate is not just about who you know but who knows you. Your success depends on the places you go, the rooms you enter, and the people you meet. Building a solid network is essential because, in real estate, your network truly is your net worth.
