Rachel is a property investor in Peterborough, the same location as Progressive Property founders Rob and Mark. In this episode, she proves that there are still great deals to be found and money to be made in locations that have large investors in the area.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Previously a management consultant who moved into commercial cleaning once she had a family.
• Rachel was inspired by Rob Moore’s book, Multiple Streams of Property Income to attend the MSOPI event and create her own property portfolio.
• Being someone who finds an opportunity in a problem is the reason Rachel was able to pivot during the pandemic.
• Don’t decide on one strategy to use instead look for properties and then adapt and use the strategy that suits that particular property.
• A lot of the best deals can take time and patience.
• Rachel frequently works with investors that don’t have the time to find deals or put the work in required for big returns and so she does this for them with their money.

BEST MOMENTS  

“There’s enough for everybody”

“The properties ran themselves”

“Find properties and then decide which strategy suits the property”

Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise!

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go.
• The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now.
• As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors.
• Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run.
• You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right’ or ‘best’ property, meaning you’ll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities.
• Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people’s money to build a property portfolio.

BEST MOMENTS  

‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises’

‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property’

‘Less buyers, prices start to go down’

‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today’

‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work’

Should I manage my own properties or outsource them to a lettings agency? This might be a question that you are asking yourself, as you start your journey in property. From his fifteen years experience in property, where he now owns his own lettings agency, Kevin McDonnell gives his take on how you should go about it. Whether it’s making sure you get experience self-managing a property, to the benefits of partnering up with an existing agency in a JV partnership, Kevin gives you all the pros and cons of Self-management vs Outsourcing.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When I start out in property I thought I would have to do everything. When I started I would always do everything from meeting the tenants, gaining references, prepare and write the contracts. I’d do the repairs, and deal with the day to day issues. I thought that was what an investor required. Whereas today I find great deals and my partner manages out the letting agency on a day to day basis.   

Learning what the agents need to do. Self-management is a good thing to do at least a small amount. You’ll find out what kind of problems that your tenants have. Your tenants are your clients and you are providing them with a service which you need to provide to the best of your ability. This will also save you on the management fees but cost you in time. This will make sure you have the experience so you know your agent is doing things in the right way.  

What sort of systems should you have to self manage? I used for my first ten properties, Microsoft Excel. There are loads of fancy apps, but if you have ten properties you can manage them on a spreadsheet. Just get your first house and manage it on Excel. Once it becomes too big, over ten properties, you should look at things like Arthur or GoTenant. We have now moved on to Jupix because we are running a letting agent, and my JV partner runs that but that’s too complicated and costly for if you are just starting out.   

Give your first couple of properties to an agency. Learn how to do it properly, learn how to self manage your property. Then take on property to self manage so you get an inside guide to what they go through. Learn everything that an agency does. An agency does a lot of work from people who say they are interested in that property, lodge the deposit, gaining references and sorting out contracts. 

I found a JV partner. I found a local guy who was running a satellite office but he wasn’t on the high street. He was like a virtual agent. I approached him. I asked him to move into the high street into a property that I had bought. He’s 50/50 in the letting agents. I have a JV partner and he gets 50% of the profits.  

BEST MOMENTS

‘Its about being smarter with your time.’ 

‘Be an investor rather than a landlord.’ 

‘Since outsourcing, I have more time to think.’ 

‘Make sure you see your tenants as clients.’ 

‘You don’t need fancy software to manage one house.’ 

‘Get perfect later.’ 

‘It was cheaper to manage in house.’ 

‘The management fees from other landlords pay for the fees.’ 

‘When you're starting out you don’t have a skillset.’ 

‘Agents do a lot of work.’ 

‘You can shadow an agency.’ 

‘I wanted to be a business owner.’ 

‘It’s a win, win situation.’

Kev is interviewed by MJ, who is doing a dissertation around AI and wants to quiz Kev on what he thinks the impact will be on the property world. They talk about the real-life implications and applications of AI and VR including relationships with clients, costs and convenience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• VR and AI present a unique opportunity to build better relationships.
• There will be huge time savings to be had once AI has been established within a workflow.
• Virtual reality means that staff and people other than the landlords can review accommodation, sending the recording to the landlord to review at their convenience.
• Communication is essential if AI and VR are to work in any industry, individuals and companies need to be educated with realistic expectations.
• MJ believes that real estate agents haven’t been told or educated about why and how AI and VR could work for them.
• You don’t have a business unless you have happy customers, if you can make your customers happier then you can generate more income, Kev would want AI or VR to aid in this.

BEST MOMENTS  

“I’m really excited about this and also really scared”

“Relationship building is important between a real estate agent and a customer”

“Any relationship starts with trust in the first place”

“Would you buy a house on the back of a virtual reality tour?”

“You know way more about the technology than the actual client that would be using it”

“If you want to sell me on virtual reality you need to sell me the benefits not ask me why I would use it”

Kevin joins Jessen James on the Mind Over Money podcast to talk about the power of property investing itself, as well as his own personal journey in business, and the part that mind-set has played in his incredible rise to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so.
• When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths.
• Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial.
• Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones.

BEST MOMENTS

'Within 12 months I'd replaced my income'

'I had no choice but to think creatively'

'It's not difficult to raise money. It's difficult to try'

'Stop looking back and look forward'

A motivating and informative episode where Kevin speaks to property investor Martin Sanderson. Martin talks about how he got started in property investing and how he turned his initial zero investment into a scalable successful property business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Martin was working in hospitality but then read Kevin’s book which made him decide to do the Progressive No Money Down Course and hasn’t looked back since.
• When lockdown hit, Martin took the initiative and put himself out there on social media and it worked – he secured deals whilst most of the country was on pause.
• Martin has already managed to scale his no-money down property business, he has managed this mostly by using creative techniques he learnt from Progressive, often helping people along the way too.
• Networking was incredibly beneficial to Martin and his team. This made him want to join and expand the Progressive Property Network in his area of Preston.

BEST MOMENTS

“You can create the money to buy that building out of the profits of the pub, it becomes a true no-money-down deal the money is created before you ever buy it from the asset you’ve acquired”

“It’s helping people get more from their property in a creative structured way”

“If you’re listening to this, do not share the details of a deal unless you’ve got it secured”
