  • Flipping Property in a Recession to make Ten of Thousands of Pounds

    In this podcast episode, Caroline Claydon is joined by property investor Jordan Kynoch, who shares the details of a successful flip he recently completed. Jordan discusses the strategic decisions and challenges he faced while turning around a distressed property in a village between Perth and Dundee

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Jordan's property flip resulted in a profit of over 80,000 pounds, exceeding his target and showcasing the potential for success even in a challenging market.
    • Jordan's ability to secure off-market deals highlights the importance of networking and leveraging contacts in the industry to find lucrative opportunities.
    • Listing the property during the Christmas period, typically considered a slow time in the market, proved to be a smart move as it attracted serious buyers and led to a quick sale.
    • While the primary goal was a flip, Jordan had a secondary exit strategy in place, considering the option of renting the property if needed, showcasing the importance of having backup plans.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I was aiming at least doing, trying to get at least 40 grand across from the flips."

    "It's a really exciting time and it's hard for people to understand how much opportunities are out there when you read the media, right?"

    "I bought it off market again and I've not touched it. I'm putting it back on to sell it straight away because I bought it at such a good price."

    "I always like to do something a bit different to the norm, because it means that you've got that extra step ahead and you've got that jumpstart."

He explains how RoomPrice Genie helps hotels optimise their prices based on market demand, competition, and internal factors.

    Thomas also shares insights on the current state of the hotel industry, the growing trend of dynamic pricing, and the blurring lines between hotels and apartments.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • RoomPrice Genie is a pricing automation system that helps hotels, apartments, and short-stay rentals optimise their prices based on market demand, internal factors, and competition.
    • The rise of digital nomads and remote workers is a growing trend in the industry, leading to an increased demand for flexible accommodations like apartments.
    • The line between hotels and apartments is blurring, with new concepts emerging that offer a mix of hotel-like services and apartment-style accommodations.
    • Technology plays a significant role in the industry, making it easier for operators to manage their properties remotely and provide a seamless guest experience. However, the personal touch and hospitality are still crucial for guest satisfaction.

    BEST MOMENTS

    “I'm always a little disappointed by the whole tech forward companies."

    "We must remember that this is a hospitality industry and being a host is one of the most important things, not necessarily always in person, but the experience that you give."

    "And I think there's the frustration of like going to a chatbot and just talking to a robot and not going anywhere is worse than anything you can... Yeah, that's not a place where we should focus on."

    "And that is always what makes and breaks his day, in my opinion."

  • Unveiling the Secrets of Successful Property Investing - A Q&A Session with Sarah Blaney and Caroline Claydon

    Caroline Claydon and Sarah Blaney discuss various questions and topics related to property investment and management, covering issues such as handling auctions, dealing with severe down valuations from lenders, valuing HMOs, regulations in the serviced accommodation market, and window furnishings for rental properties.

    Caroline also shares updates on her upcoming co-working space projects and the challenges of securing financing for unique ventures.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When participating in auctions, it is important to have the necessary deposit money ready for each lot you bid on. If you lose the bid, the money will be redeposited back into your account.
    • If you experience a severe down valuation from a lender, contesting it may not be successful. It is often more effective to start a new finance process with a different lender that uses a different surveyor.
    • Valuing an HMO can vary depending on location, lender, and other factors. It is important to consult with other landlords in the area and work closely with your broker to understand the valuation process.
    • When dealing with a property that has a strong odour, using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar can help remove the smell

    BEST MOMENTS

    "There are enough deals to be had under normal buying conditions where you don't need to have those deposits sat there."

    "I think take a step back and make sure that you're really talking to your broker. Try a couple of different brokers."

    "I think people often ask when it's your first one and you don't have a recipe of what you did last time."

    "I think it's just being a little bit more flexible, I guess. And that's one thing about being a small operator."

    "When you're doing a big project like a hotel or like a co-working space, where you know you have a wide audience at the end who can use your service, the other thing that it's not a challenge, it's just part of the process is…"

    "When you're working on a big project which does need these infrastructures put in, it's something that, whilst you can say, oh, I've allowed eight months for this, it's one of those things where it can astound you how long it can take."

      • You can never underestimate the importance of building relationships based on trust and likability. By establishing trust and rapport with potential investors, Barbara was able to secure funding for her projects.
      • There is a need for ongoing learning and development in the property industry. Barbara sought out coaching and mentorship, which helped her expand her knowledge and skills, enabling her to tackle more complex projects and overcome obstacles.

      "So, um, yeah, I think, I think cause it was always still that, you know, tenancies and the properties that were already had in the background. And then, um, yeah, I think it was just, uh, yeah, I really enjoy property."

James shares his focus on investing in Wales, discussing the strong demand for rental housing and the unique opportunities and challenges presented by the Welsh government's regulations.

      • Leveraging a team is essential for success in property investing. There is great value to be found in building relationships and working with others who can contribute their expertise and skills to different aspects of the business.
      • One must never believe that can do it all. It’s crucial to seek help and support from others when we need it.

    2. From Military to Property - Ken Riley's Journey to Success

      Sarah Blaney interviews Ken Riley, a property investor based in York, who shares his journey in property investing, starting from his initial property purchase in 2007 to his decision to pursue property investing seriously three years ago.

      He discusses the challenges he faced, including the shiny penny syndrome and the importance of focusing on a specific strategy and area. Ken also emphasises the importance of honesty, being true to oneself, and building strong relationships with investors and tenants.

      KEY TAKEAWAYS

      • Focus on consistency and mastering a few key strategies rather than trying to do everything mediocrely. This will lead to better results and success in the long run.
      • Be honest and transparent in your dealings with others, whether it's investors, tenants, or business partners. Building trust and maintaining integrity is crucial in the property investing business.
      • Be yourself and play to your strengths. Trying to be someone you're not or taking on tasks that you're not good at will only lead to frustration and inefficiency. Focus on what you excel at and find ways to leverage your strengths.
      • Leverage other people's money and explore different funding options. Don't be afraid to take on investors or seek out creative financing solutions to fund your property investments. This can help you scale your business and achieve your financial goals faster.

       BEST MOMENTS

      "I was a property investor. I thought I knew it all back then because I had the one property, right?"

      "I just focused on one thing, which was buy-to-lets in my home area. And then once I'd done a couple of them, I started looking at HMOs."

      "I just think you just gotta be fair. Some of these people, you know, just treated unfairly from a lot of rogue landlords. And I just don't want to be known as one of those."

      "I think, you know, if you're just getting started, look at the strengths you have, write all the things you want to achieve down and then manipulate them."

    3. Stories of a Property Mentor - with Caroline and Nick Claydon

      Nick and Caroline Claydon discuss the difference between a mentor and a coach in the context of property investing, and share their experiences as mentors, including stories of helping students overcome blocks and achieve their goals

      KEY TAKEAWAYS

      • A mentor is someone who has been successful in a specific field and can guide and lead others through their own process, while a coach helps individuals draw out their own answers and focuses on accountability.
      • A mentor provides intensive guidance and support, typically through a two-day intensive program in the field. They help students overcome blocks, take action, and learn from their mentor's experience.
      • Mentoring sessions often involve deep dives into the goals and vision of the mentee. It is crucial for couples or partners to align their strategies and life plans to avoid conflicts and ensure a successful partnership.
      • Mentoring sessions help students overcome various blocks and fears, such as fear of taking action, fear of speaking to agents, imposter syndrome, and fear of money. Mentors provide guidance and support to help students push through these obstacles.

       BEST MOMENTS

      "A mentor is someone that has by necessity been there and done what you're looking to do."

      "Money won't come if you don't have a deal to start with."

      "I love mentoring people. I like to help people. I like to see the moment when they get it."

      "A mentor should be completely independent."
