The Progressive Property Podcast How I Bought 14 Investment Properties in 2 Years
In this episode, Kevin speaks with Natasha Friend, a property investor who is very active in the progressive property community. They talk about Natasha’s property journey including her success stories, how the Progressive VIP programme helped her and what she is up to at the moment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Natasha was working as a mortgage advisor when she knew she wanted her own business. She knew the 9-5 life wasn’t for her but thought that she would need to make massive steps and create big ideas to change her life. Natasha read progressive properties co-founders Rob Moore and Mark Homers book Property Investing Secrets and it blew her mind. Her perspective on building a property portfolio was completely changed and she was inspired to begin her own journey.
- After educating herself Natasha was able to ‘de-pedestalise’ the money part of investing other people’s cash and realised that she was actually helping these individuals invest and make money.
- Bungalows can be an overlooked investment opportunity, something Natasha realised and capitalised on. For example, if you are buying a bungalow to trade you get stamp duty relief. Most purchasers of bungalows are also people who are downsizing so they are generally cash buyers; an advantage for a multitude of reasons.
- It’s not a bad thing to invest in a competitive geographical area. If many people are investing then that shows that there is money to be made. You just need to focus on what you are doing and build the right relationships so you can make the deals.
