Simon explores the concept of turning "lead into gold" within property investment, a metaphor for acquiring a seemingly problematic or underperforming property and transforming it into a highly profitable asset. 

The "lead" is often a property being sold by a retiring or struggling landlord who sees it as a burden, possibly due to low rents, maintenance issues, or a lack of creative strategy…

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

"The big problem with gold is that you can hold it but it doesn't actually give you any income"

"They're probably not maximising that property, not making the most out of it. Probably the rents are not as high as they could be... because if you've got a good tenant in the property, you're inclined to keep that tenant there."

"They might have been investing for 20 years, but they might have just had one strategy and one way of using that property... That doesn't mean they know more than you."
