Abby Pendlebury joins Kev in this episode. Abby is only 4 months into her property journey but gives inspiration for what you can do in a short amount of time as well as what you can focus on for the future of your property journey as she shares her current plans and those for the next few years. https://www.linkedin.com/in/abby-pendlebury-57078b266/?originalSubdomain=uk KEY TAKEAWAYS  Previously a merchandiser, Abby’s father has always been in property as well as other family members so it’s always been something she has thought about. Abby attended the progressive deal packaging course and as soon as she completed it she decided to quit her job and start on property full time The packaging Abby offers is to order, they will source for their clients and deliver exactly what it is they want and need. You have to take time to build relationships with investors, they need to trust you to work with you. Start small and build upon your network in order to grow and scale.

Shimon Rudich of MS Law joins Kev to talk about creative property investing including the many options out there and the most effective ways of utilising them to grow your property investing business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You have to be willing to think outside of the box and out of your comfort zone in order to use creative property investing techniques. If you want to scale quickly and make money faster then creative property techniques are the way forward for you. There are many similarities between what is happening now and 2008, if the housing market crashes there will be many opportunities for experienced property investors. If the market crashes, as a property investor you pay less but you can still charge the same rent. It also ‘culls’ a lot of investors that aren’t serious so can be a positive thing for you as an investor.  There isn’t one single strategy that works for everyone or even every situation. You must tailor your strategy to your unique circumstances. BEST MOMENTS   “Different people have different mentalities” “If you only do things in one way you limit the opportunities” “We buy properties to make money and instead of buying in the usual way we can buy to make more money, why say no” “They deserve to be out of the game” “Less competition, pay less, what’s bad about a market crash now?” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

It’s a take-over this week as Toni and Emerald give their opinions on the past month's property headlines including whether now is the right time to invest. They also give tips and solutions to some of the difficulties property investors may be facing right now. KEY TAKEAWAYS  House prices are falling, but only by small amounts in most places. Many property headlines are currently sensationalising to the max! A lot of them can be mostly ignored. For every downside, there is an upside. Now could be a good time to buy for many people including first-time buyers. Ensure that the information that you are engaging with is from people who know what they talk about, people and experts with experience and knowledge in property investing. There are key differences between landlords and property investors. If you’re buying long term, it’s unlikely you will regret what you pay for a house. Property investing is for the long game. A joint venture is one way to decrease your own personal risk in the current market. Toni and Emerald would recommend downloading Mark Homer’s e-book, 42 tips. The price an estate agent gives is not a sold price, always bear this in mind when looking at the changes in prices. The news is never where you should base your decisions on, the information they give is to sell news not to help you in business. BEST MOMENTS   “House prices are now falling” “Get an education from people who know what they are doing” “Look at creative solutions which you will know if you surround yourself with the right people” “Part of being an investor is understanding the market, doing your own research so you know what’s going on” “How is anybody supposed to decipher this, day to day everything is changing” “Perspective is absolutely key” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more Kevin gives his honest thoughts and advice in response to some of the most popular questions from his students and masterminds surrounding property investing including how to use debt to generate money, whether rent2rent is a legitimate business and even how Kevin keeps up his motivation and energy! KEY TAKEAWAYS  You can create money through using assets, such as property. You can move from earning money to creating money by taking on ‘good debt’. Kev used to get up tired and go to bed tired in his corporate job, property investing is living his dream and spending each day creating and building something for himself. This is where he finds his energy! Property investing is one of the few things that allows average people to build a legacy. Think of all the opportunities each day presents to you. The problem with the world today is we aren’t building resilience into our children yet the world is a very difficult place to live. Property investing isn’t about competing with one another like in the corporate world, it’s all about collaboration. Your success comes with other people, not at their expense. AI will change the world and to succeed we need to embrace it and see it as an opportunity. BEST MOMENTS   “Only the government can make money, they print it” “A property business pays you today, a property investment doesn’t necessarily pay you today” “I’m building something I’m passionate about” “Property investing allows you to build your own dream, your own legacy” “Everything happens for a reason, there is no such thing as good luck or bad luck just balance” “You can’t think an impossible thought, anything is possible” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

He talks to Kev about the differences between agents and investors, his own journey as well as KEY TAKEAWAYS  After feeling disengaged from being an estate agent, Vito came to Progressive Property in 2020 to learn about property investing at the MSOPI event. He discovered there was another way to work with property and his investing journey began. Vito has mastered the no-money-down strategy and attributes his first deal to learning from and working with progressive property. Working alone and not collaborating is a mistake. If you utilise others’ knowledge, experience, network and even their money you will build your portfolio faster! BEST MOMENTS   “I was learning about the strategies and it opened up my mind” “Being an estate agent, your mind is closed” “If it wasn’t for progressive, I wouldn’t have that no money down deal” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more   FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD The renters' reform bill was entered into parliament in May 2023, in this episode Kev, Mark and Kieran discuss their thoughts, including the upsides and downsides as well as how landlords and developers can make it work for them. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The new bill will get rid of section 21, which is a 2-month eviction notice that can be served without grounds. The announcement of this bill is accelerating the mass exodus of landlords. It’s important to read into the bill yourself and not just look at headlines and rumours. There will always be tenants and therefore opportunities for landlords to make money but it might mean an increase in rent for many. Whilst changes by government are often called reforms, Kieran believes there are a whole host of things in the past that have made things worse for both tenants and landlords including epc criteria and the inability to offset interest. If legitimate landlords are having to charge more because of new legislation then those who can’t afford rent will instead look to rogue landlords. The bill talks about changes to allowing pets but it actually may put landlords in a better position as it states that insurance by the tenant will need to be bought to cover damage. It’s not just landlords that ask tenants to leave, tenants often want to leave after shorts amount of time too. Ultimately cost will be going up for both landlords and tenants as a result of this bill. BEST MOMENTS   “None of this is set in stone there are potentially things that could be changed” “There are laws in this country that protect tenants” “Landlords will just have to get better at using the section 8” “A buy to let landlord will only be there if they can make money” “All of this stuff can be used as an opportunity” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In this episode, she proves that there are still great deals to be found and money to be made in locations that have large investors in the area. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Previously a management consultant who moved into commercial cleaning once she had a family. Rachel was inspired by Rob Moore’s book, Multiple Streams of Property Income to attend the MSOPI event and create her own property portfolio. Being someone who finds an opportunity in a problem is the reason Rachel was able to pivot during the pandemic. Don’t decide on one strategy to use instead look for properties and then adapt and use the strategy that suits that particular property. A lot of the best deals can take time and patience. Rachel frequently works with investors that don’t have the time to find deals or put the work in required for big returns and so she does this for them with their money. BEST MOMENTS   “There’s enough for everybody” “The properties ran themselves” “Find properties and then decide which strategy suits the property” “They’ve got to trust you and want to work with you and understand your ethics” “I work with investors who don’t have time” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Jennifer Roberts is a property investor specialising in deal packaging. She joins Kev in this episode to talk about how she managed to secure two deals in just two weeks of starting her journey and what she has learnt since then to help grow and build her property business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The 70, 20 and 10 rule helps you diversify your business strategies without putting the wrong attention on the least important things. You spend 70% of your time on your main strategy, 20% on your second and then 10% on your third. Jennifer started day trading at just the age of 13, this was her main business strategy until starting in property. Deal packaging is what Jennifer has been drawn to, she likes being out chasing and creating deals. Jennifer’s mum was a customer of Progressive Properties training courses and recommended them to Jennifer which is how she got started. Being young and lacking experience were Jennifer’s main barriers to securing deals but she says that having self-confidence and people skills are what helped her present herself and sell herself well. Reward comes with risk, it’s about managing and controlling that risk. BEST MOMENTS   “I started trading at 13” “The deal packaging is a similar feeling to stocks” “Confidence is key and talking to people, people skills” “I like high risk” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

CLASH OF THE TITANS - Go To moorevleeds.com to find out more   FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode, Mark explains how to protect yourself and the importance of due diligence when engaging in joint venturing, borrowing, and lending money. Mark talks about the checks you can do to ensure you don’t make any mistakes when choosing someone to work with as well as red flags to look out for and how to identify them. He also talks about how to check for credibility in people, businesses and investments and other ways you can invest money in a careful and considered way. KEY TAKEAWAYS  You need to know someone for at least 6 months before choosing to invest with them. Ask for someone's credit file to get a good picture of whether what they are saying is true. Ask specific questions about their current investments and their portfolio. You can ask an individual to apply for basic disclosure to show any unspent convictions however this won’t show you many things that are historical. Ask for past people they have done deals with, you can cross-reference these with the land registry to ensure they are legitimate. A good brand and social media profile isn’t a good enough reason to trust someone. You must do legitimate checks on anyone you work with. It’s essential you find a solicitor that is your own and they check any agreements instructed by you before signing any deals. You should carry out the same due diligence on anybody, no matter who they are and what appearance they give out.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘"I call them toilet paper in a way because I've got a personal guarantee only." “Try and work out if they are the sort of person you can trust, telling the truth and whether you like them” “I would only lend on a first charge basis and I’d only lend on a 70% loan to value” “Just because someone looks like they’re doing something, doesn't mean you should be doing any less due diligence” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Carole attended progressive property events in 2015 and shares how this helped her build her knowledge and talks in depth about her unique property portfolio in social housing. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Carole works with charities and supports many people through her property portfolio as the units she manages are social housing. Working in the hotel business as well as events means that Carole had always worked in customer-facing roles, she likes people and her favourite thing is talking! After seeing vulnerable children and having empathy for those struggling financially, Carole wanted to do something she could help society whilst also making good investments. Most landlords aren’t bad people, they want to help people. Bad tenants come from all walks of life. Carole doesn’t believe she has had any more issues with damage and rent arrears with her social tenants than private landlords would get. BEST MOMENTS   ‘Everything we do whether it’s needed or not we make sure is HMO compliant as there’s always going to be more than 2 people in the property’ ‘Some of us are quick to judge people that have fallen on hard time’ ‘Landlords are really great’ ‘Because I work with them so closely, I get preferential rate’ VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE GUEST Carole Neales Director Clearwater Property Partners carole@clearwaterpropertypartners.com ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
