Imagine starting from zero: no money, no contacts, no properties. You’re left with just your knowledge and experience. What’s your next move?

In this episode, Andy is joined by Ian and Mike as they break down exactly how they’d rebuild a successful property business from scratch.

🔍 What’s Covered in This Episode: ✔️ The exact 30-90 day blueprint we’d follow from day one ✔️ What property strategy we’d start with (HMO? Rent-to-rent? Sourcing?) ✔️ How much cash you really need to get going ✔️ What we’d absolutely avoid this time around ✔️ Red flags, hard truths, and actionable advice for beginners

Key Points from Our Hosts:

Mike's Thoughts on Starting from Zero: Mike explains how, even with no contacts or funds, he’d focus on leveraging his experience and ability to raise capital. He shares how he secured nearly £750,000 in funding thanks to his background as a company director and the relationships he’s built.

Ian’s Strategy for Finding Contacts and Building Capital: Ian reveals how joint ventures were a game-changer for him in the early stages when he had little capital. He emphasises the importance of finding the right partners and utilising personal connections (including family) to secure funding.

Choosing the Right Property Strategy: Ian talks about selecting properties with significant equity (such as refurbishments) to add value. Both Ian and Mike agree that properties under £200k, especially distressed sales or those with leasehold issues, are great options when starting out with limited funds.

That’s the blueprint we’d follow if we were starting from scratch. We’ve been there. Hopefully, this episode gives you a shortcut or two on your journey.
