May 16, 2021Always Focus On The Positives - with Danny Bloomfield

https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
This week, James D'Souza talks to Danny Bloomfield, a property investor and former professional football player, and a business owner.
Danny discusses his investment journey, the challenges he has faced along the way, why you always have to focus on the positives in business and life, and the power of having multiple streams of income.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Education in property is essential. It not only teaches us the hows, but also the whys of investing, as well as broadening our strategy base.
In property, mitigation is key. We need to always keep an eye on any potential problems that might arise, and always have contingency exits in place.
Diversifying income allows us the protection of fluctuating markets at times. If one market dips, then we can rely on other forms of income to act as support.
It's far easier to make mistakes in life than always take the perfect route. Football is very much property in this regard. It's all in the planning and the preparation.
BEST MOMENTS
'You need two exits from every single deal you go through'
'I went through various training courses so that I could do things professionally, properly, and understand what I'm doing'
'Focus on the high-paying tasks'
'I love being around people. I love talking to people. I love bouncing ideas around'

May 09, 2021Panel Show - Raising Money - Part 1
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
In this special episode, the panel come together for a discussion on the best practices when it comes to raising investment capital for your property journey, with a particular focus upon angel investors - what they are, how to find them, and how to change your mind-set when it comes to money.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are misconceptions about what an angel investor is. They believe them to mainly be super rich philanthropist types. Angel investors, in reality, are more commonly rather innocuous, and closer to home than we may think.
We must adjust our mind-set when it comes to asking for money. Remember that we are not asking for a handout. We are proposing a real and lucrative business opportunity.
Angel investors in property have a marvellous opportunity to increase their capital by entering into an agreement that is likely to be hands-off for them. It's a very attractive proposition.
When people make money in property, they inevitably tell others, due to the fact that it is so simple and successful. This can lead to a greater number of satellite acquaintances making approaches with the same aim in mind.
BEST MOMENTS
'An angel investor is simply someone who wants to earn a greater return on their funds or savings'
'It's about getting into the angel investor's head'
'I can't see any better solutions for them than investing in you'
'Think about friends of friends of friends, too'

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Property ediucation is an empowering process that can show us what is possible, and remove any unknowns that hold us back.
Taking the leap into property investment as a full time job takes a leap of faith and self belief. But the rewards are incredible.

April 25, 2021How To Change Your Life Through Property - with Natalie D'Souza
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
This week, Mark Winship talks to Natalie D'Souza, about her inspiring "rags to riches" story, in which Natalie has built financial security for herself and her family by creating a multi-million pound property portfolio from a standing start, and how an important "why" can keep you focussed through the tough times.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There's a misconception that you need a large pot of cash in order to get started in property. Natalie is living proof that you can do it with just the right strategies at hand.
What keeps us travelling on the property journey is by finding the "why" that keeps the desire hot and your ambition hungry.
Sometimes we have to fight hard for what we want, but once we start moving, building relationships and finding deals, the momentum becomes incredible.
Mistakes are natural, but it's how deal with them that matters. Mistakes are lessons, and we should be grateful for any kinds of teachings in the long run.
BEST MOMENTS
'When you're a property investor, nothing slows you down!'
'We wanted to work our way upwards'
'It's all about momentum'
'Your journey and story is very inspiring'

https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
This week, James D'Souza talks to Goldie Sayers, a former Team GB athlete who's now a property investor who along with building her own impressive portfolio, has turned to mentoring other athletes about the power of property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Athletes are well aware that they have a finite time limit upon their sporting career. The wise ones are those who put plans into place to take care of their income upon retirement.
Education is key to securing a future in property. We must ensure that we are fully equipped with the strategies required in order to thrive.
There are no financial barriers to entry when it comes to property investment. The key is to leverage the money of others and begin as soon as possible.
Always follow your instinct, even when it comes to buyers, and those in your team. Your inner voice is always guiding you in some way.
BEST MOMENTS
'I made a living by diversifying'
'You're retiring at 30 or 35 if you're really lucky'
'The key is leverage'
'Don't take things at face value'

April 13, 2021Deal Diary - with Mark Winship
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
In this Deal Diary episode, Mark Winship tells you about a deal that involved turning a set of agricultural buildings into residential apartments.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Serviced accommodation, as a strategy, involves renting out a property on a short-term basis. It's a hands-on strategy but it can yield high returns.
The Rent-To-SA strategy is a good way to test out a concept, and so ensure that our systems and processes can handle the stress of bigger projects.
Old property conversions come with their own sets of issues. It's always best to make sure you have a team that can adapt and find solutions.
BEST MOMENTS
'We put our heart and soul into this one'
'Converting an old property like this will always throw you curveballs'
'This was a challenging project in many ways'

April 04, 2021Panel Show - with Jon Hurst
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
This week, the This Property Life team are joined by chartered financial planner, Jon Hurst, to talk about pensions - how to use them to grow your property portfolio, and how to use property to bolster your pension fund.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The way you use your pension in terms of securing your financial future, really depends on your appetite for opportunity, and your overall plan for what's ahead.
In a defined benefit pension scheme, what you receive at the end is defined by the benefits you were on while working.
It is worth talking to potential angel investors about where their own pensions are held, and how they are being invested, as sometimes it may be more fruitful for this to be used in property.
It is worth tracking down your own various pension pots, consolidating them, and strategising about the best ways in which these funds can be positioned.
BEST MOMENTS
'If you are savvy enough, there are different ways to use your pension to further your own portfolio'
'A state pension is nothing more than a bit of pocket money in your old age'
'A pension is effectively a trust'
'It's like online banking, but for your pension!'

March 28, 2021The Importance Of Finding Your Why - with Claire Powell and Becca Strelzyn
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
This week, Mark Winship talks to Claire Powell and Becca Strelzyn of serviced accommodation business, Switchback Stays, and whose property journey began back in 2018 with purchasing buy-to-let properties.
Claire and Becca talk about the ways in which they manage their serviced accommodation business, coping with COVID lockdown, and the importance of staying focussed upon your "why".
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Taking the leap into property can seem like a gamble. We can mitigate this gamble by making sure we have a relevant "why", and by arming ourselves with as much knowledge as possible.
There is always a moment in the property journey where the lightbulb illuminates, and we realise that we have found a far more fulfilling way to live and make money.
Serviced accommodation is a far more hands on pursuit, unless we are willing to pay others and delegate. It's full on, but is far more challenging, which keeps things exciting.
Serviced accommodation does not necessarily mean "holiday let". SA is used by many people for many different reasons, and this is why they can be found everywhere, not just in cities or coastal regions.
BEST MOMENTS
'It did feel like a milestone, but the timing was so right'
'If we wanted to achieve our goals in property we had to take the leap!'
'If we implement these things, then we can grow a business'
'I wouldn't classify it as a mistake - it was more of a challenge'

March 22, 2021Switching Lanes To Find The Road To Success - with Caroline Reed
SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT -
https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem
In this week's show, James D'Souza talks to Caroline Reed of Reed Residential and National Property Sources, who has built a property empire along with her partner. Caroline talks about the decision that led her to a switch in careers in order to gain more freedom in life, and how she did it!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of the main challenges in becoming a property investor is to work out your "freedom figure" - the amount you need in order to keep the bills paid, and to provide you with a comfortable income.
Knowledge is key in the early stages of property investment. If we are not armed with the right strategies, we may end up paying over the odds when we don't have to.
Many believe that the road to financial freedom is too tough to travel, but success is within everyone's reach. it takes, bravery, dedication and a willingness to learn.
Some properties simply work better with a letting agent involved as there will always be some tenants and some properties. that work better with a mediator.
BEST MOMENTS
'The money was flowing in, and we didn't really notice that it was flowing out just as fast'
'We bought these houses as though they were Mars bars'
'Pennies were dropping and lightbulb moments were going off'
'We could not WAIT to sign up for some property education'
