Mark is joined by fellow co-founder of Progressive Property Rob Moore and together they discuss how you can get the highest returns when investing £500,000. Learn today how £500,000 could allow you to invest in 14 single let properties, why it would be a good idea to invest your money in a freehold block of flats and how you can make huge savings by purchasing your own office blocks.   WATCH ON YOUTUBE How To Perfectly Invest £500,000 |Property | Stock Market | BusinessSUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes   KEY TAKEAWAYS Property: With a £500,000 property investment you can secure 14 single-let properties with a price range of £120,00-£130,00 and putting down a £35,000 deposit. These properties can be running simultaneously with a refurb scheduled every 6-9 months. It is a great strategy to achieve long term capital growth.   Many units on the high street have been battered and valuations have dropped in a big way and many are empty. There is a big opportunity to put a shop in the unit and convert the uppers into flats. There are a lot more of these opportunities to come; we are only at the beginning of this.   With £500,000 you can buy a freehold block of flats. The property may need a refurb and once this is done you are able to rent all the flats out. These are good investments because since you own the freehold it is similar to buying a house, you don’t have all the ground rent. There are really good opportunities since the values have dropped and there are currently plenty of tenants available.   It is a very good idea to buy your own office blocks for your company. By buying your own office building you are making a huge saving every year and the property itself will go up in value every single year.   Stocks and savings: Cars: If you are going to invest in classic cars it is best to start off with something cheap. Buy a low mileage, better quality car and in the end, you will make a better profit. Work your way up and build up your collection. Buy a ‘Classic Car’ insurance policy if your car is garaged which will allow you to keep your insurance costs down. Assets: Holding physical gold is a good investment. Buy the gold physically and put it in a secure vault and allow the asset to mature.   Whilst it is a possibility to buy a company with half a million pounds, you really do need the experience to know if what you are investing in is a viable business. People will usually try and sell you something that works for them and often it will not be worth your money.   BEST MOMENTS “You are going to end up with a great return on investment.” “You’ve really got to know what you’re doing.”“If you have a passion for something you are going to learn how to do it well, if not better than anyone else.” “Your timing of what you buy is really important and sometimes it is wise to wait for the market to come back down.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode:How To Perfectly Invest £500,000 |Property | Stock Market | Business Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

After last year's unexpected mini property boom during a global pandemic, many people are anticipating what this year's property market will look like. Kevin keeps you in the loop with this week's property news as he discusses Sadiq Khan’s call for an eviction ban extension and the effect Brexit will have on newbuild homes. Kevin also discusses what has been discussed this week in the Progressive Property community.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Weekly Property News In an article in Landlord Today, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for an extension of the eviction ban and a two-year rent freeze in London. Although he has no major powers over the private rental sector Khan wants the government to give renters the same protection as commercial tenants who have been granted an eviction extension until March.   The effect that Brexit will have on the housebuilding sector is that a lot of house building materials are manufactured in Europe. This means that there is likely to be a slowdown in production and delivery of materials especially early on in 2021.   With the stamp duty holiday coming to an end in March then it is likely that this could see an effect on builders and house building in general. It will be interesting to see if there is still the same demand for new build property.   Progressive Property Community News & Discussions Rob Moore posed the question to the community ‘When do people think that the property market will correct or slow down?’ The property market will likely slow down after the stamp duty holiday has ended. Once it has ended, there could be a crash in the market and a lot of property could end up having negative equity. When opening a business bank accounts many people opt for the famous high street banks. There are a lot of lesser-known online banks such as Starling and Tide banks which are easy to navigate and are cheaper options.   BEST MOMENTS “He is asking for more powers to implement a two-year rent freeze in London as an emergency measure.” “This could have a big impact on the slowing down of house building.” “It is going to be interesting to see how the layout of houses will change.”       SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES   Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic Cars Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes   ABOUT THE HOST   Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Nobody could have predicted that a mini property boom would have happened during a global pandemic in 2020. With that in mind Co-founder of Progressive Property, Mark Homer takes over today’s podcast with his property predictions for 2021. Mark discusses why many retailers are moving to the outskirts of the city, a possible stamp duty exemption extension and why we are likely to see a rise in single let properties as unemployment rates rise.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The pandemic has had a huge effect on many industries, especially retail. Many retailers are moving into warehouses on the outside of town to fulfil their customers’ needs for online purchasing. Despite what most of the property experts said, the property is gone up significantly this year.   Many people want to move to different sized homes in different locations as they are not having to commute as far with the pandemic. In addition to this, a stamp duty exemption has reignited the market and pushed it on. The stamp duty exemption ends in march, however, there is talk of it being extended.   Focusing on whether the property is going up or down is the wrong thing to be looking at. You need to be looking at strategies that work in all markets because it is unpredictable. Nobody knows what will happen to interest rates or government support, which has given support to the employment and property market.   The residential housing markets (specifically single lets and HMO’s) are likely to see increased tenant demand in 2021 because unemployment is predicted to rise and people will likely decide to rent instead of buy. This is likely to push rent up and reduce voids.   The further into the year we go it is likely that house prices and stock markets get a significant lift as the value of money decreases. The prices of consumer goods and everything that goes into the basket for the retail prices index is not likely to lift that much if it did quantitative easing would be reduced significantly and interest is likely to go up. However, it is more likely that asset prices are likely to increase.   Lessons learned from 2020 taught us that things can only get better. It also taught us that people can have a very short term mindset, there were much more motivated sellers in the last recession and there were many more property deals to do because there were so many sellers that needed to offload to raise cash. After the market came back, property prices rose.   BEST MOMENTS “Most experts were predicting either a shallow fall or a crash.” “It is something that you nor anybody else can get an answer for.” “This is a good thing for poetry investors as it lifts the value of your asset.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Nobody could have predicted in March 2020 that the UK property market would enter a mini-boom during a global pandemic. Join Kevin today as he discusses whether the market will continue to rise or fall in 2021. Kevin looks at the reasons behind the 2020 property boom, why putting your money into property is a safe option and why you should only invest in properties that can pay you a positive income every month.   KEY TAKEAWAYS In 2020 we saw a mini property boom. Who would have thought that house prices would have continued to rise throughout a global pandemic? This happened for a number of reasons. One reason is because of the stamp duty holiday which lit the flame of the property market boom.   Those that were put on furlough also caused a rise in the property market since they actually had more available money and more time to think about the type of lifestyle they wanted. Interest also dropped to 0.1% meaning people were getting less money on their savings.   If you have more than £85,000 in your bank account and the bank you’re with goes under you will only be protected for the £85,000. People with cash have been moving their money into property as it is safe there.   In ten years’ time house prices will be higher than they are today. The experts in the property industry are talking about a 4% rise in the property industry. Even if there is a reduction in the market this year you can still buy value. You do not want to buy a property where there is no way to add value.   All you can do is buy what is in front of you today. Make sure you have got the numbers right, make sure you purchase a property that can pay you a positive income every single month.   BEST MOMENTS “Could banks go bust again? Who knows? Anything is possible.” “Property is the safest thing you can put your money in.” “Nobody knows exactly what is going to happen. You would need a crystal ball” “You make your money when you buy”   SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In today’s podcast, Progressive Property Co-founders Rob Moore and Mark Homer join the show and discuss how to perfectly invest £250,000 in today’s current economic climate. They cover all bases from purchasing unmortgageable properties with cash, investing in high-end watches which are sure to bring back a high return as well as how to ensure you are successful when investing in the stock market.   WATCH ON YOUTUBE How To Perfectly Invest £250,000 |Property | Stock Market | BusinessSUBSCRIBE TO THE SERIES Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes   KEY TAKEAWAYS Property: If you are buying single lets, buy up to seven at a time with £30,000-£35,000 deposits and roll that over. You could also use this money to buy properties in cash. These properties may be unmortgageable and therefore you can get the property much cheaper. By doing this you can cut out the majority of the market as most people are unable to buy without a mortgage.   Property: If you buy commercial buildings or newbuild blocks of flats and you convert them, the capital allowances are available on the purchase price up to 20%. When you convert the buildings all the work that you do to the communal areas between the flat you can claim capital allowances on.   Businesses: Due to the current pandemic, there are likely to be some businesses that are willing to sell for £250,000 or less. Many hotels, nurseries and event companies have been very badly affected by the pandemic and are coming to the market in the new year.   Appreciating Assets: With this budget, you can invest in Patek Philippe and Richard Mille watches. The more complicated the movement of the watch, the more expensive it is. It is better to pay more money and have more growth.   Stock Market: Look for companies that are currently in trouble, but are fundamentally going to be okay in the long run. Be prepared to lose money on stocks on occasion. If you want to make money over time buy some market trackers i.e Footsie or Dow Jones trackers which track the market, have very low fees and allow you to spread across the stock market.     BEST MOMENTS “Straight away you are at an advantage because you can get it much cheaper.” “There is an immediate advantage there.” “The market believes there is another route out.” “Let father time pay it down.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ https://www.glenmarch.com/https://www.hagerty.co.uk/valuation/tool/https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/https://www.hl.co.uk/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode:  How To Perfectly Invest £250,000 |Property | Stock Market | BusinessWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Join your host Kevin McDonnel as he discusses this weeks property news.  Landlord today has named London as the city with the highest rent in the UK with an average of £1435 a month in comparison to the North East where the average rent was £490 a month. Property investor today analysed how Brexit will affect the UK’s housing marketer and Kevin discusses news closer to home as he finds out what has been happening in the Progressive Property community.     KEY TAKEAWAYS Weekly Property News On the Landlord today website they have reported that rentals have hit an all-time high according to government figures. The average monthly private sector rent in England for September was £725. This figure was the highest ever reported by the office of national statistics. There were regional differences with London being the highest at £1435 monthly and the North East the lowest at £490 monthly.   Property Investor Today stated that the UK has been ranked top hot spot for overseas residential investments post-Brexit. Suggesting the UK real estate market will remain firmly open for business post Brexit.   The findings from the European global real estate survey by international law firm DLA Piper found that overall, the top 5 countries for investment are all in Europe with the UK leading the way with 33% followed by France 28%, Germany 25%, Spain 24% and Italy 18%. Many people think there is going to be a housing crisis after Brexit however, these statistics prove otherwise.   Currently, businesses have to register for VAT only if they make over £85,000 per year. However, UK digital platforms combined are forecast to have as much revenue as £140bn a year by 2025. Much of this will be untaxed because it is secured by small scale individual operators who individually have less than £85,000 of turnover.  This means if the government decided to charge VAT to Air BnB’s then if you as an individual has a turnover under £85,000 decide to put your property on Air BnB, Air BnB will be charged VAT on their income which will be significantly above the £85,000 of you the individual. Air BnB will have to pass that cost onto you.     Progressive Property Community News & Discussions Should you buy property now or should you wait until next year should there be a crash in the market? Instead of asking yourself this, ask “What can I do now to find the very best possible deals that are available right now”. You make more money in property in a market that is going down and in recession type market than you ever do in a rising market. Why? Because in a rising market, the homeowner can sell to anybody they like. In a market like a recession, it becomes a buyers market. Property investors should always be buying.   BEST MOMENTS “It is really interesting that rent has actually increased during the pandemic.” “This is really important data for us as property investors.” “There is still a significant profit margin in Air BnB”     SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Today Kevin is joined by yet another one of many success stories from the Progressive Property training programme. Kurt left his life in Dubai to start a property venture in the UK with no property training, now just a year later he tells his story of how he became a successful property investor following the rent to rent strategy. Kevin and Kurt discuss the benefits of a JV partnership, how to network and why knowledge is power. KEY TAKEAWAYS When starting your property venture alone it is important to create your power team. Go to different property networking events around the country where you can get to know people. Use social media to find people with similar property interests to yourself and you may find somebody to work alongside.   When meeting potential JV partners, share your weaknesses and your strengths and find somebody who compliments you. Work out strategies when you go into meetings according to both of your strengths and weaknesses.   Working alongside others who are already in the property industry can help you increase your knowledge. You will learn from others how to acquire new properties or tenants and you can apply this knowledge for when you go to make a deal.   Many people wonder why a landlord would allow somebody to take their property on and rent it out to make a large profit. Many landlords want to relax and have others do the work for them so long as they are making a profit they are happy. The landlord doesn’t need to pay utility bills, council tax or refurb bills as that will all be taken care of meaning his workload is less as he likely has multiple properties.   Rent to rent is a great technique to create cash flow, but you never will build a long term legacy by doing only this. Comercial conversion is future money, it may be three or four years before you even get paid. Putting these two techniques is very smart as it allows you to create cash flow, whilst investing in something that will bring you future income as well as a long term business legacy.   BEST MOMENTS “We can work together and we might be faster at completing all the tasks to get a house. Our main focus was just to get our first house.” “That is how we work together, we are a good combination and a good team.” “I didn’t believe this story when I heard it from you the first time”   About The Guest Kurt is a Swiss National who moved to Dubai for several years. He made a decision last year to move to the UK and start a property business having never done property before.   SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Have you been wanting to get into property for a while, but wondered how many people are successful? Join host Kevin McDonnell as he talks to Ben Brand, a Progressive Property trainee who found success in serviced accommodation after attending a Progressive Property event. Together they discuss the ins and outs of serviced accommodation, how to utilise social media as a marketing tool and why now is the perfect time to invest in property. KEY TAKEAWAYS Serviced accommodation is a disruptive yet simple property investment strategy. When investing in serviced accommodation you can provide a service that massively undercuts the hotels as a better value product. If you are a contractor and had the option between paying $50 for a hotel or $25 for a nice house, it becomes a no brainer.   The basic premise of serviced accommodation is you take a house or an apartment and you provide a hotel-like service. Essentially, somebody can rent the property off you by the night and you will provide basic services.   The basic business consent in rent to serviced accommodation is that you rent a property for a fixed amount and then re-rent the property on a nightly basis. You can charge a far higher amount over a month. Anything between your fixed costs and the overall gross turnover you make is your profit margin.   Marketing your business through social media will allow you to scale your property business. Social media is essentially free, to begin with. As you grow you can start to utilise paid adverts but until then you can market your business for free via your smartphones. Social media allows you to create a community, meet new people and create a lot of new opportunities.   Now is a good time than ever to get into the property market. Getting into serviced accommodation in the current property climate and the idea of long term guaranteed rent is compelling to many people. First and foremost you need to get educated in property strategies. There are tonnes of opportunity out there.   Many people are worried that they are not right for property investment. Everyone has something unique about them that they can use as a strength. Focus on the positives that you bring and then look at the risks. You only get one life and whilst it may be intimidating to begin with, the risks of not doing it in the first place greatly outweigh the risks of going ahead and trying it. If you show up enough times, you will eventually get what you want. BEST MOMENTS “If I can make that by accident, imagine what I could make if I did it on purpose?” “When I started to post on social media, all I was doing was telling my story and that just seemed to resonate with people and draw people in.” “I get approached by three or four new investors every single week” About The Guest After twelve years in the army, Ben decided to venture into the world of Property after reading his first property investment book “No Money Down”. Ben attended his first property event in May 2012 and left feeling inspired. After attending multiple property training events, Ben settled on Serviced accommodation as his strategy.   SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

A new warning has been given to landlords this week in regards to cowboy builders exploiting the “Green Homes” government grant. Law firms in Sheffield saw an increase in negligence claims for a previous, similar scheme and warned it could happen again due to the short 6-month time frame given. A tenant has been found guilty of murdering their landlord this week in Coventry. This incident should serve as a reminder for landlords all around the country to ensure they are always safe when viewing properties. Host Kevin McDonnel also brings you the latest weekly updates from the Progressive Property community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Weekly Property News Warning over cowboy builders exploiting the ‘Green Homes Grant.” Landlords thinking about taking advantage of the government's new “Green Homes Grant'' are being warned of a surge in cowboy building works. Sheffield based SSB Law has seen an influx in breach of contract and negligence claims as a result of a previous government scheme.   The firm now believes that due to a short 6-month time frame the new scheme could see tradesmen cashing in. The six-month time frame is not long enough and is putting both landlords and building firms under pressure. This means the likelihood of substandard work will increase.   Under the government's new “Green Homes Grant'' which launched last month, landlords and occupiers in England can apply for grants of up to ten thousand pounds to make their homes more energy-efficient. This includes the fitting of cavity walls, loft insulation and solar panels.   Havering council has agreed to do an extension in its landlord licensing scheme. It currently covers twelve awards and will be rolled out to a further six. Councillors have also agreed to an introduction of a selective licence scheme to cover single-family properties in Romford Town and Brooklands Wards only. This scheme will come into place in January 2021 and will operate for five years.   As a landlord, you are always taking risks when visiting the property. If you’re a landlord or agent and are planning to visit one of your properties, always ensure that somebody knows where you are visiting and ideally bring someone else with you.   Progressive Property Community News & Discussions   Each property is different and you are bound to see properties with a lot of different layouts. The benefit of renovating old buildings is that you can add some TLC into them, especially cowsheds.     BEST MOMENTS “If you weren’t aware of it, get in and look at the opportunity of what can be done on your property.” “That is certainly something you should be doing in case you get into a conflict.” “Visiting properties can be risky.”   SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At 7 PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

The tracker assessed 5 key indicators that impact desirability, these can be identified as average total rent; short term returns through yield; long term return over ten years; the lowest number of vacancies as a proportion of total housing stock and the percentage of the cities population in the rental market. Manchester performs well for rental returns and long term house price growth. More importantly, it is one of the biggest rental markets in the UK.   Many people are saying because of COVID-19, people will no longer want to live in shared accommodation. However, along with the pandemic there came to a recession meaning people will have less income and will be looking to downsize to save money. HMOs (Houses of multiple occupancies) are the cheapest part of the market. In the previous financial crash, the HMO sector boomed as many people were looking to make cut backs. Many young professionals who can afford a one-bedroom flat often prefer to live with others.   Property Investor Today gave some advice on how to convert and invest in HMO’s for them to be successful. Make sure the property has a workable workplace as many people will be working from home. Ensure the properties kitchen has as much storage as possible as well as ensuring the bedrooms have ample wardrobe space. In the coming years, service will be key, ensure you provide the first-class service to your tenants.   Progressive Property Community News & Discussions What is better to invest in houses or flats? Flats usually have a higher turn over of tenant than houses as well as often being a leasehold property meaning you are likely to have yearly service charges. Another thing to think about with flats is ensuring the building does not have any cladding issues. The service charge is often steadily increased over the years as well as the complex issues that arise over communal areas. Buying freehold houses and converting them into flats allow for good yields and higher tenant turnover.   BEST MOMENTS   “What do you need to be successful?” “It is not as clear cut as ‘there will be a decline’ or ‘there will be a rise’. “Think about what you would want in your house, and that is what your tenant will also likely want.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

This is by far the investment strategy with the highest possible maximum return. Purchase a 130k+ house that could be worth 170k+. Add value with a refurbishment of no more than 10k and roll your initial 25% investment back out and keep going. If you’re able to fully retrieve your deposit by refinancing you will have gained an ROI of 100% and now have a proven appreciating asset and your initial investment back.   With an initial investment of £50,000, you have the ability to diversify your investment strategy. As long as your investing in areas of the country where the population is growing you can secure multiple positive investments for £50-60k, flip the property and also use different property strategies such as But-To-Let, Commercial Conversion or HMO’s dependant on your area. Additionally, you can also keep some of your investment aside to use for tracker funds and other commodities. Stocks & Shares. When investing in stocks and shares its a good idea to diversify your portfolio into 15 or more different equities. Smart diversified tracker fund investments with Hargreaves Lansdown or Vanguard with good growth potential are ishare emerging markets equity index class H (accumulation), Vanguard FTSE 100 index (accumulation) and Legal and General index (accumulation). These funds cover blue-chip companies and are a low-risk investment. Business: A £50,000 investment can enable you to start a number of profitable business models but the ‘sweat-equity’ model whereby you work hard to cut costs and save money, in the beginning, will give you a greater chance of success in the future. Focus on a minimum cost model with the majority of your initial investment spent on marketing to grow your business and sales to generate cashflow. eCommerce (Amazon/Shopify), content and informational based business models are growing marketplaces right now.   BEST MOMENTS “Since investing in property we haven’t sold our properties, we’ve simply kept on rolling our investments on with our existing portfolio seeing a 10% capital gains.” “The sterling value is decreasing as the currency inflates and mortgage rates go down” “You won’t get a better ROI on your investment than property” “Why would you not borrow money at 1.5% and invest it to make 15% or more. “Buying your own home is a blessing” “You could turn a property into an HMO, increase your rental income along with the capital gains and see returns of 20%+. There is no better investment strategy for maximum return than property.” “With a residential property, you can get 75% leverage on your initial investment”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/https://www.hl.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

Have you ever made a mistake in business or in life and wondered how you will ever overcome it? Well, listen in to today's episode as Rob is joined by Gerald Ratner, former CEO of one of the most previously successful jewellery companies in the UK whose infamous speech ruined both his and his company's reputation. Together they discuss how to overcome mistakes, why facing your demons is sometimes easier than avoiding them and why you must learn that you cannot please everybody.   New Book Launch - 3rd December 2020‘Reinvent Yourself’ With Gerald Ratner KEY TAKEAWAYS Good and bad, nobody can believe what sometimes happens in business, and in life. Previous mistakes you have made in both your personal and professional life have made you what you are today, and you are probably a happier person because of it.   If you’re having to reinvent yourself because your business has dissolved or you have lost your job, you can’t afford to lose a lot of money again. Avoid taking risks that you cannot afford to make.   You sometimes need somebody to push you in the right direction. This can help you realise that facing your demons is a lot easier than avoiding them. You cannot keep avoiding things that you don't want to do. You have got to find the guts to go out there and confront your issues. When you do this, they are not as difficult to face as you may think they are.   There is nothing worse than being a failure and there is nothing better than being successful. We are put on this earth to work, challenge things and to compete against others. In business, you get the best brains. Successful business people do not spend their time trying to convince people they are brilliant, they just get on with things.     Try to get into a business that is unfashionable. You cannot please everybody, everybody has got different needs. Don’t try to be loved by everybody and try to persuade them that you are doing the right thing, if you believe something just get on and do it. If you start trying to get permission and opinions of others you will not get the right advice. BEST MOMENTS “I appreciate things now, after losing everything.” “It was a wonderful feeling when I actually got out there. Although I didn't want to, I was forced out there. “Get up, dust yourself off and start all over again.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/The Rise & Fall & Rise Again - Gerald Ratner ABOUT THE GUEST Gerald Ratner is a British businessman and motivational speaker.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the ‘How To Invest’ mini-series. This week, Rob and Mark dive into the perfect investment opportunities for an initial £25,000 investment as they cover the top strategies, tactics and fundamentals for minimal risk and maxim return. Listen in for advice, tips and tricks on the best property strategy for cash flow and for capital gains, how you can roll your initial investment into many, which tracker funds and equity share investments propose the highest returns and the lowest risks and finally what business models are working today that can net you a higher return that any other strategy when you apply these simple rules.

Always aim to keep some of your investment back as a contingency and what you do invest, spend wisely on sales and marketing to grow your customer base. Property: For £25,000 you can quickly and easily source a buy-to-let property that has an opportunity to add value. Aim to purchase in a cheaper area of the country so that you can roll that capital investment into further single-lets after increasing the property value and refinancing. Using this method you can quickly build up a portfolio or properties using your initial £25,000 investment and keep on rolling that investment into more and more buy-to-lets, earning a rental income as well as capital gains. Shares: £25,000 can easily be put into tracker funds or single equity investments although at a higher risk. It’s a good idea to spread your shares around for minimal risk and maximum return. Investing in the top 10, premium bonds and precious metals can help to diversify your portfolio. If £25,000 is all you have you invest, with no contingency but still want to get a maximum return Rent2Rent property investing is the quickest way to generate a monthly passive cashflow. It would be wise to keep £5,000 aside as a backup and seek a JV partner for further property investments. Starting a business can be the best way to see a huge return on your investment but you must build your business with minimum outlaw with a maxim spend on marketing to grow your business and generate clients. eCommerce (Amazon/Shopify), content and informational based business models are growing marketplaces right now.   BEST MOMENTS “Get your deposit back out and just keep on rolling on to the next investment|” “Premium bonds can yield you a 3% return” “There have been some big losses with crowd-funding over the recent years” “The Steel Daytona is a good investment watch to purchase now that will increase in value in the future” “It’s critical that you love what you’re putting your money into. You need to want to read, learn and become better at the investment that you make.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/https://www.hl.co.uk/ ABOUT THE GUEST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

A new Winter Economy Plan sees the Government try to support tenants and those affected by COVID-19 pay their rent in an attempt to combat the £437 million of lost landlord rental income. Predicted changes to Capital Gains Tax regulations could now be a net benefit to landlords as it is proposed that tax is only paid on capital gains above the rise in monetary inflation and more in this week’s Progressive Property weekly news update with your host, Kevin McDonnell.

With the end of the furlough scheme predicted to cause many household difficulties in paying rents these measures will help to combat this as private landlords across England have faced rental losses of up to £437 million as a result of COVID-19. The Government should follow hardship loan schemes set up in Scotland and Wales to help support tenants to pay their rent as a result of the COIVD-19 pandemic and landlords are now seeking out Government-backed tenant income to ensure rent is paid through schemes such as supported living and housing benefits. Landlord Today: Capital gains tax changes could result in landlords paying less, not more tax. Historically capital gains tax is not applied on all profits, only those that are above standard measures of inflation. If the Government is to reform capital gains tax regulations then they need to reintroduce a form of inflammatory relief, meaning a potential benefit for most landlords that purchased property in the 1990s and 2000s. Progressive Property Community News & Discussions   What do you do when a property purchase is down-valued? There has been an upsurge in property prices due to furlough, people moving out of the cities, an influx of foreign money coming into the UK, stamp duty holidays etc, however, lenders who value the property are concerned about a downturn in the market in 2021 and are assessing the property from a safe loan to value metric, not simply how much is the property worth. Also, remember that if you’re purchasing a property and it is downvalued that is a net=benefit to you as the investor. BEST MOMENTS“The Government should follow hardship loan schemes set up in Scotland and Wales to help support tenants to pay their rent as a result of the COIVD-19 pandemic.”“A lot of landlords are looking for Government-backed income through new schemes such as supported living and housing benefit tenants to ensure rent is paid”“You’ve always got to have income coming in no matter what is happening in the current economic climate.”“There are interesting times ahead with how the Government is going to try to recoup all of that furlough money.” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Luke Brindley has scaled his property empire to over 15+ properties since joining the VIP programme at Progressive Property and is now securing JV funding for more deals helping other investors source and scale their own property portfolios. Listen in as Kevin and Luke discuss the fundamentals of property investments, what it takes to scale up your business from part-time investor to full-time property entrepreneur and how you can shift your mindset, leverage social media and build up a network of investors around you quickly and effectively.   Join the Progressive Property Community KEY TAKEAWAYS   In property you get out what you put in. It can take a long time to get traction in the property market and secure a deal but you need to be persistent, invest in your local area and look for the longterm gain and not the short term wins.   When you’re starting your property portfolio, exchanging your time for money is just too slow. You need to JV with investors and like-minded individuals in the property community to secure JV finance and more quickly scale your portfolio.   If you’re investing in property alone you can have a very limited mindset and it is not until you join a mentorship group that will you understand the value in ‘getting out there and speaking with people’ and discovering that you can raise funding for property deals. Start investing in property, building your network and mastering your strategy in your local area part-time whilst you’re still employed until you have partly replaced your income and cost of living. Once you do move into property full-time your portfolio, funding and JV funding will grow exponentially.   Use social media to share your property journey, interact and help other investors on their journey and you will organically grow your network and find more deals and funding for your property business.   SUBSCRIBE TO A BRAND NEW MINI-SERIES How to Perfectly Invest £5,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic Cars Watch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTV Listen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes       BEST MOMENTS “Don’t look for the quick win, look for the long term gain.” “At the age of 35, I’ve been able to quick my day job and spend more time doing what I love” “In property you get out what you put in” “You don’t know what you don’t know” “My portfolio is 100% self-funded” “I’ll post property content daily on social media to share my success” “Two years ago I didn’t have property network and now I’m turning down deals” “Build your parachute while you’re in the aeroplane before your jump full time into property” “Social media has been the single source of finding investors for funding in the past 2 years” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In this episode, Kevin covers recent reports of the emerging ‘Landlords Market’, how investors are looking to expand their portfolio in 2020/2021 and dives into the announcement of an extension to the re-possession exemption landlords are facing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, this does not address arrears tenants and landlords are still facing and the Government need to put together a bespoke package to help renters pay off their arrears with increased benefit support and hardship loans.   Property Investors Today reports that it is now ‘Landlords Market’ 10% of landlords are currently looking to expand their portfolio compared with only 3% at the end of 2019 and 82% of landlords claiming they would not look to purchase another investment property in 2020. Now landlords are looking to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday and this could see a spike in investments outside of city centres.     Progressive Property Community News   How can you invest 150k? Aim to leverage the investment by spreading it out into deposit pots to purchase up to five individual property investments. Additionally, 150k could be used to find JV partners and as a strategy to build out a much bigger property portfolio.   There is an opportunity to purchase unencumbered land, obtain planning and then use this as leverage to build out property units. The exit will be to sell some units and keep some for passive income. With this opportunity, it’s important to think about your cashflow strategy as well as the long-term capital gains that will come with this investment.   BEST MOMENTS“Extreme arrears is one of the few reasons for eviction during lockdown”“Renters have abused the ban on the re-possession exemption causing hardship”“Property in city centres no longer represent a good investment”“Now is an opportunity for landlords to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday” SUBSCRIBE TO THE A NEW INVESTMENT SERIES Episode One: How to Perfectly Invest £10,000 | The Best Stocks | Property | Gold & Classic CarsWatch Live On The Progressive Property YouTube Channel Every Monday At7PM Tiny.cc/PPTVListen To Audio Recordings On The Money Podcast bit.ly/moneypodcastitunes ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
