BOOK ONTO THE WEBINAR HERE --> https://ncrealestate.co.uk/webinarnovember2020/  Let me be straight, because I can be nothing else, I’m pretty sure the real reason your strategy is off is because you’re listening to too many other people telling you what your strategy shouldn’t be and pretending like that’s a strategy. For example, If I were to ask you: ‘What’s your property investment strategy’ and you were to reply ‘Serviced accommodation’ I’d sigh and shake my head because that’s 👏 not 👏 a 👏 strategy. A strategy is a plan over a number of years that shows growth, pinpoints when you’re next buying a property, how much income it’s going to generate, how you’re going to fund it, so that you’ve got a step by step guide. Intrigued? Let me tell you more in this podcast

Whilst I can’t solve political leaders throwing their toys out the pram, I can give you some encouragement for how to handle the property market. The Ugly: Don’t trust developers who phone you out of the blue looking for investment **COUGH** money to prop up their failing developments. Always do your due diligence The Bad (for movers): Time is running out to buy a property and take advantage of the stamp duty relief for homeowners. Mortgage lending and searches is soooo slllloooowww right now 😴, so it’s taking 3-4 months to complete on property. Which means… The Good (for property investors): Bide your time. Put in the ground work now, you’ll have sellers biting your hands off for low ball offers come the end of the year The exceptionally good: No money down deals are a possibility if you work for it… I’ll tell you about it, plus a case study, in my pod! Want to dive into this in detail. Go listen to my podcast right now! Head to http://ncrealestate.co.uk/

We don’t normally do this, but as we had such fun last night we have decided to replay the webinar as today’s podcast... The Decision Making Clinic Replay is RIGHT HERE The key take away I wanted to share with you is that every single person's property portfolio is different and we all have different decisions to make at different times… but, decision making follows a set of rules we create for ourselves in our goals. Being in a community where we can hash out the facts from the “what ifs” and come to the next best step moving forward. I have created a space to do exactly that. THE MEMBERS’ CLUB. It's open RIGHT NOW. Click this link to join: https://ncrealestate.co.uk/membersclub/

I start by reflecting on our time in New York… then at 15:05 I bring my producer Josh onto the show to talk about how to create your own podcast, as I’m constantly asked about it on social media. We go through the cold hard truths of what having a podcast actually means… and trust me, it doesn’t mean millions automatically fall into your bank account (much to some peoples disbelief!) Remember to come and check out my website: https://ncrealestate.co.uk/ The podcast is taking a two week break so that I can find a new peaceful spot in which to record! The next new episode will be on the 20th October :D

This week, I speak to Tony Wallace about The Basis of Valuation and the Irish Property Market! We also have a good Covid and Brexit talk and put common sense back into the commercial property market!

I know it's been a tough 6 months! In this episode I get candid about how I'm feeling when I take off the business hat and what I'm doing about it!

I’ve seen a lot going around social media about free content v paid content. I develop my business growth on Free v Paid and there is a difference in what is offered and how each type of content operates. I also don't class my ‘paid’ services as ‘content’. At the point that you pay my firm of surveyors for a service we are on hand to help, support and advise and that for me is the difference.... A professional service. This is also what you should be asking for with any service you pay for. In this podcast I go through the strategy and reasoning for both types of content and services. It may also help you understanding the back end of running a business through social media, as it’s definitely different from the traditional way for growing a firm of surveyors!!

This is my origin story!! The Members Club is open until Thursday 20th August @ Midnight UK time. Click here ---> https://www.ncrealestatemembersclub.com to join now!
