https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/
Sean interviews Nick Armstrong, a quantity surveyor who has changed his life through property investing. Nick shares how he went from working long hours in construction to building an impressive portfolio of 18 properties. Nick also shares how he leveraged Progressive's network, mentorship and creative strategies to achieve financial freedom through the right property education and community.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

- Progressive Property taught Nick multiple strategies beyond traditional property investing, including HMOs, serviced accommodation, and RENT2RENT approaches that don't require property ownership.
- Building relationships with estate agents and managing agents has been important to Nick's success, leading directly to profitable deals and ongoing property opportunities.
- The No Money Down course teaches strategies to control properties without using your own funds, making property investing accessible to those without significant capital.
- Nick found the support system through Progressive's mentorship programs and WhatsApp groups invaluable, providing solutions to challenges and connecting with like minded investors.
- Interest rate changes have created challenges, but the right team and proper advice from Progressive have helped Nick navigate these fluctuations while maintaining his portfolio.
BEST MOMENTS
"We've now built up a substantial portfolio that provides us with hopefully an income for life. That's the life changing experience we've had, we will have something that's equivalent to our pension for life."
"The tools that we've learned since we've gone through the Progressive process has been absolutely life changing for us really."
"You come to these meetings and you have a little chat with people and it really stirs you up and gives you encouragement. You come away absolutely boiled up from who you've spoken to, what you've learned, and what you think you can achieve in your business throughout the next month."
"When I speak to people about property, most of them turn around and say, 'If I had the money, I would like to get into property.' And when you actually explain they could do it without putting any money down or very little money down, initially there's disbelief."
