Get ready to dive into the incredible journey of Steph James as we unravel her property saga! From daringly diverging off her university path to teaming up with her dad for an exhilarating new venture, to crafting a web of triumph with diversified income streams and synergistic businesses – Steph's story is about to unfold.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Steph over the past 6 months as a member of the IPI Mastermind, and I remember one of my first thoughts when she ran me through her businesses was ‘there’s no way this is sustainable to spin all these plates’, but she is insanely well organised and her enthusiasm for all things property means she makes it work, without needing to kill herself working 60 hours a week. 

I’m sure you’ll find her as inspiring as I do, so let’s get into the show.

Justin Wilkins is slowly and steadily building up his own portfolio, but his main focus is on his property sourcing business, where he’s on track to hit 100 deals this year.  Some of them he keeps for himself, some he quickly flips on without doing any work to them, and others he sources for his investor clients. 

Regardless of who ends up buying the deals he sources, they need to make sense financially, so to be able to do this volume is a real skill that I think we could all benefit from. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about today with Justin - what works best for him when it comes to sourcing deals at scale that we can apply to our own, probably more modest, deal sourcing targets.

Katrina Jones has been on the podcast several times in the past and she's joining me again today. This episode is from our IPI HMO summit that we hosted a couple of weeks ago, and Katrina joined us to talk through the Rent to rent strategy, specifically with regards to how it relates to today's market.

There's a lot of uncertainty, and people are wondering, is it the right time to invest?

Does rent to rent still work?

And Katrina goes through all of this in detail.

So, ahead of a free session that she's running in just over a week about the rent to rent strategy in more detail, I thought it'd be nice to share this with you just to see if it gets you excited... to see if it's the type of strategy that you want to learn more about.

And if you do, you can find out what she's got going on at insidepropertyinvesting.com/Katrina

Today’s interview is from a discussion I had recently with Jack Smith for his podcast, from the ground up.  I’ve been sharing a few of these podcasts recently where it’s someone else asking me the questions, and I wasn’t sure to begin with whether you’d find them valuable, but the feedback has been super positive as the spotlight is turned on me and my business, and how we built things to the stage they’re at now, which we don’t often share here when it’s me asking the questions. 

In this episode, Jack and I discuss the foundations of our portfolio, and how we focussed on HMOs to give Victoria and I the freedom to step away from our days jobs initially, and then more recently to step away from life in the UK to spend 4 years travelling.

6 years ago, Stuart Lordan joined me on the podcast with plans to reach 100 HMO rooms within 12 months. Today he’s back to say that he failed to reach that goal, with about 80 rooms in the portfolio at the time of recording, but instead of pushing for growth at all costs to achieve those 100 rooms, he’s instead managed to build a stable business with solid financials, retain freedom and flexibility in his own life, and diversify into other areas as well.

He’s learnt a lot along the way, but possibly no more important lesson than realising things don’t always go to plan, and that’s okay.  You can be a success despite your failures, in fact maybe only because of them.

I was thrilled to be invited on a podcast with Latoya McDonald recently, and we had a chat about all things systems, processes and outsourcing in our own property business, particularly around how we were able to build a team that allowed us to go travelling around the Med for the last four years.

Now those days are behind us, but the lessons are still super valuable if you're looking to create more time freedom in your life from your property business.

Today, I'm delighted to be joined by Paul Pickering. Now, Paul is a guy who's got a lot going on in his life. He has got a little girl who's two and a half years old. He's just had a little boy with his wife who is currently four weeks old, it's also his birthday on the day we recorded this.

So massive Happy birthday to you. Paul is in the process of transitioning out of his career in the military and he's just going into business with a builder that he's been working with for the last couple of years. Paul's been investing for five years. He started his business just before COVID and continued to grow it ever since, doing some really interesting things while investing pretty remotely being based down south to start with and investing in the Northwest and then moving up to Scotland, but continuing to focus his portfolio in and around Liverpool.

So lots going on from simple single lets to more complex social HMOs and I think you're going to really enjoy today's episode. So sit back, relax, enjoy it and have fun.
