From a wide-ranging and experience-packed career in the world of property that has seen him work for and with some of the biggest names in UK property, Dean knows only too well the challenges and obstacles faced in the minefield of Land Development.

Finding and gathering information, assessing the many complex due diligence factors, collating different sources of data required for the acquisition, build, and sales stages, and being able to report and communicate that with all stakeholders.

It's a minefield known only too well to people involved in this very lucrative but highly complex area of the property world.

The question raised in today's show was: "Is it possible to move a great friendship into a highly successful business partnership?"

And the answer, from Jade Flannigan and Stef Paterson, who both make up "The Property Duo" is a resounding YES!

These two powerful business ladies have been great friends since childhood, growing up in the same town.

From teenage years, they always felt they would form something together and build a successful 'thing' as a partnerhips; they just didn't know what that would be until later on in life.

Supporting each other through successful corporate careers that saw them grow and travel around the world, they eventually settled on the idea of property being the area they could come together and build a business around. And how they have!

> Listen to the girls reflect on a childhood in a small town with the typical family and cultural obstacles to thinking big...

> Jade and Stef share their life journeys and experiences, and how those skillsets have helped build a backbone to their successful property business...

> The ladies speak openly about their initial investment failures as a warning to others, before they took the training and knowledge that ensured they've acquired assets cleverly since then...

> Listen to them share details on some of their deals and the kinds of yields that they can source for their lucky investors...

> And also listen to Richard struggle at times to referee the feisty female friends who jostle for credit in creating "The Property Duo" brand, and who actually is "the better or other half"...

Someone has to be doing something right in the property world to appear on This Week In Property for the 3rd time. And yes, she is!

There are many wise investors out there who know the power and the benefits of investing in property as an asset class. However, while a lot of them have that wisdom, and also the capital at hand to make such investments, they simply don't have the other resources to be able to pull the trigger and enjoy the incredible returns that are possible. Time is the biggest hurdle for them. Having or finding the time to be able to properly and fully assess each asset (the property) and run all the required due diligence to protect their investment. Lacking contacts is another obstacle. The various estate agents, letting agents, solicitors, brokers, accountants, tax advisors, builders, trades, planners, architects, engineers, and other various specialist professions that swarm the property world in different scenarios. And lacking the specialist knowledge and skills can be the investor's biggest hurdles; consciously and unconsciously. Some foolishly think that having binge-watched "Homes Under The Hammer" is enough to arm them and ensure they're able to protect what can be very sizeable sums in this investment field. Other wiser investors, have the awareness to understand they simply "don't know what they don't know." How to source the right assets, running deep due diligence, organising the various professionals to acquire, add value, maintain, hold, and sell the property. Not to mention the other connected matters such as tenants, agents, certifications, compliance, lending, and insurances. And that's not even covering the various strategies, tactics, and tax-efficient processes to structure the investment in the best way possible. Such investors have the wisdom to know that they just don't have such knowledge and skillsets, but they also know they don't have the time nor the inclination to learn it all. That's where outsourcing parts of the puzzle to someone like a Property Sourcer can bring huge benefit to these clever and time-poor investors. But like all areas of life, there are Property Sourcers and there are Property Sourcers. In today's show we speak to experienced sourcer and investor, Sean McIntyre, and chat over his personal journey, his track record, his projects, and more importantly, what value he brings to the investors and Private Clients that he works with. > Learn the biggest mistakes that most 'property sourcers' are making... > Hear about the real value and the holistic approach that Sean delivers to his private clients investing in property... > Listen to Sean talk about his "2 bank accounts" and how he's tracked them throughout his life... > Hear about 'the numbers,' the profits, the cashflow, and the returns that investors can enjoy in the rich and varied world of property...

Property and Investing used to be very stuffy old domains. Rather boring, backward, slow, blinkered, middle-aged, male-dominated and unfriendly worlds. Thankfully times have changed and the markets have evolved and continue to evolve. A new refreshing wave has washed through in recent years, bringing a much needed blend of elements with it. More youthful, more tech, more open-mindedness and creativity, more sociable and warm, and with more family and feminine energies! And you'll struggle to find a more perfect example of that updated image in Tonya and Rea, also known as, The Property Twins... ----------- In today's show we hear from the twins... > Speaking about their early beginnings soaking up all the information they could in the estate agency world... > Sharing their stories of childhood encouragement, healthy competition, and the fire and determination to succeed and prove doubters wrong... > Hear their thoughts on the market through and beyond the Pandemic... > Sharing their experiences of design and creativity, combined with business-launching hard work and their investment mindsets... > They lay it out on what it's like to work with family, the ups and the downs, sales and mergers, and the challenges and the satisfactions of business... > They also share an exclusive about how you might be seeing them soon on the small screen... Sit back and enjoy listening to the twin's straight to the point, no nonsense approach to business, and their goals and drives for the future.

In the world of business, and especially property, it's a rollercoaster of challenges and emotions. So many high-profit highs, and so many excruciating lows are all possible. And that's why your mindset is absolutely key! That's one of the main reasons why Paul McFadden wrote his best-selling book "Property Success Mindset". And the man who taught Paul everything about mindset and building "Mind Powers" is today's guest: the one and only John Kehoe! Paul's exclusive interview with John in today's show, uncovers John's own personal story that kickstarted his whole fascinating journey decades ago in the Canadian woodlands, and also touches upon Paul's own journey after being taught by John in London almost a decade ago. How our minds and our thoughts can directly affect all that we face in life and in business... How we all have the ability to learn how to harness our Mind Powers for our own benefit...

What is it about our environment and the people around us, which affect our thoughts... Why do crises like a Global Virus Pandemic come in and out of our lives, and how we should frame them... It's a fascinating interview with a living legend, whose amazing training should be heralded and known by more people to help that success spread much farther. As John himself says: "our success can help many people; our failure helps no one"...

In today's show we hear from Elisabeth Kohlback, the C.O.O. and Co-Founder of Skwire, a company that proudly proclaims its strengths in: "Tech-First Real-Estate Investment" This is a fascinating interview covering all manner of this PropTech company's skills and services. And the interview will interest investors, landlords, and tenants alike. We get to hear from Elisabeth about... > How Skwire uses it's ground-breaking use of Artificial Intelligence, Data Processing, and Algorithms to source and analyse property and location information that can bring unparalleled insights to investors > How an amazing host of data points and information about an area, about a street, about a property, and even about its specific features, can bring a whole new buying and investing experience to the likes of Portfolio Builders > How Skwire can work with an investor's unique criteria to source them assets in a very specific fashion > How design and services can be at the heart of serving tenant's real on-the-ground needs in specific areas > How Elisabeth plans to build a whole new world for how renting should and could be done here in the UK > and you'll also get to hear about Elisabeth's thinly-veiled animosity for magnolia walls and brown leather couches! :) Enjoy.

In today's show, we hear from Richard Morris from Technologywithin, a leader in IT-enabling the flexible and co-working space environments for many landlords and business owners throughout the UK. From commercial property, to student accommodation, to co-working and flexible workspaces, to hospitals, to even science parks and build-to-rent projects, there's no area that Technologywithin don't cover. From a technical perspective, the company has a range of products and services to help deliver and maintain internet utility, wifi management, client reporting and billing, and using a host of bespoke tools to do so, such as: meshdata, mojovoice, and twiinworkspace. But the company go beyond the tech and into the human side of business. With an ethos of being "easy to do business with", being on first-name terms with clients, and giving a personal touch that destroys the stereotypical patronising and aloof "turn it off and on again" approach that the IT world is infamous for.
