You should not invest unless you’re sure that you can tenant that property. Research the demographic, demand, value and type of property that rents well in your chosen investment area online and in-person and even survey potential tenants and competition to discover your ideal investment. Cashflow. You need to invest in property that pays a positive cashflow today. Calculate your rental income (turnover) minus your expenses = profit/cashflow. Cashflow will also help to protect you from a recession negatively affecting house prices. Can you add value? Making money is about adding value to a property. Don’t gamble with a property that cannot be improved. Always research the footprint of the property for opportunities to add value. Capital growth potential vs stable property prices. When prices are stable and growth is miserable you will more accurately be able to predict future capital growth potential for that property on that street. Local Economy. Monitor the local economy and understand weather companies will be investing in the area and creating jobs and wealth which will lead to increased rental demand and capital gains. Make your money when you buy. Purchase at the right price, add value and bank future profits. Property Management. Always purchase in an area with good management companies and never manage your investments yourself so that you can focus on finding more deals to increase your wealth. BEST MOMENTS“View other properties to get a good idea of what rental properties should look like”“Property is a business that needs to create you an income today”“If you build up cashflow generating assets, you can replace your income and cover your cost of living”“Equity is vanity, cashflow is sanity”“You cannot add value to new build properties”“Force the value of your property to increase wealth”“Add value and recycle your investment back out by leveraging the banks money” VALUABLE RESOURCES Rob Moore - MONEY ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode Kevin speaks with Simon Cooper AKA ‘Damp Sam’, host of The Damp Show Podcast. Simon has a wealth of experience with Damp and the destruction it can create in properties. His knowledge is gained from nearly 30 years in the building business, including as a plasterer, gaining a HNC in building management and as a property investor. Simon and Kevin talk all things damp, Simon also tells you what you can do to reduce the risks of damp, what different types of damp there are, debunks damp myths and gives some great tips for anyone who owns property! Progressive Property’s Co-Founder, Rob Moore, has teamed up with our lead trainer, Kevin McDonnell to bring you the 2022 edition of our bestselling book, Multiple Streams of Property Income.GET YOUR UPDATED VERSION HERE >>> msopi.live/book <<< KEY TAKEAWAYS   Simon attended the MSOPI course at progressive and this was when his brand ‘Damp Sam’ was born. He then began doing YouTube videos and now racks over 500 videos, including some joint venture videos with Progressive Media. Good damp proofers aren’t easy to find and when you do find one, you usually just take their word for what needs doing. Damp Sam opens up the world of Damp proofing and educates people, arming them with the knowledge to understand what is actually happening beneath the damp they come across. Simon learnt an incredible amount from his first two house renovations. Including the support out there for renovations, asset protection, planning laws and even land registry guidelines. Don’t ever try and do damp proofing yourself, it’s a specialist area and you could create more difficult, and more expensive, problems. As a general rule, properties pre 1919 didn’t have damp courses put in. Post 1919 most properties would have put them in. But it’s important to remember that there are different types of damp courses and not one fix works for all. There are multiple types of damp and it’s essential that they are all diagnosed individually. Most of us have heard of rising damp and this is something that is frequently misdiagnosed, Sam frequently sees on surveys that a whole house is suffering from rising damp but this isn’t usually the case, it’s usually from multiple sources and has differing causes. Houses with differing ground levels within a property, for example if you have to make a step up to the kitchen, can suffer from lateral damp. It’s important these areas have waterproof systems installed to prevent damp. Ventilation is essential to stopping and preventing damp. All properties should have a fan in the kitchen and a fan in the bathroom, to draw moisture out of these rooms that produce a lot of differing heat levels and A great way to test if your internal fans are performing, is to do Sam’s £10 test. You hold a £10 note to the vent/fan and if it sucks it on then you know it’s ventilating enough. In some locations, such as London and Manchester, basement conversions can add a large amount of value. It’s important to weigh this up, as the cost of doing a conversion to a good standard, that won’t be prone to damp, is very expensive. Don’t treat mould with anything with sodium in it. This can create a bigger problem. Simon advises to always look for a mould remover that has benzalkonium in it. If you have a trade or are looking for a career change in the building industry, damp proofing could be you. You just need to learn it, become a specialist and you can make good money in a career that always has work. Get in touch with Simon, PCA and invest in yourself. BEST MOMENTS “There’s a lot of opportunity in the digital world” “There’s already somebody going to do it cheaper” “All these doors were shutting, I was just going to have to be the best at what I do” “Learn how to do this system and invest in yourself” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/offers/msopi-property-investing-event-tc-ggl/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjc2QBhDgARIsAMc3SqR7wMwLKFciEZbG8Jn8hUh2CDX2xN7HrF-DQJohHHG6d7DTUEnSaVYaAnatEALw_wcB https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE GUEST Simon Cooper AKA Damp Sam is a time served plasterer since 1983 and has a HNC in building management.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD The Realities of Recession  Rob has hijacked this episode to explain the realities of recession and the steps you can take to be prepared and thrive during a period of recession.  It is usually 15 years for a recession cycle and the trigger is always different, but you can take proactive steps; building networks and relationships now in preparation, listen in to hear about the realities and how you can plan to not only survive but thrive.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  A recession can result in fear and this can make it more challenging to understand the realities.  These are the realities;  Many great businesses are built on a recession because the playing field is levelled this includes large and significant businesses such as Microsoft and Lego.  Many business models thrive in a recession e.g. tax accountants and confectionary manufacturers. Progressive thrived because people were looking for something different and positive they could do as a result our training took off.  Your competitors are likely to stop spending money on marketing because they view it as a variable cost. This should be the last thing that should be reduced as it removes your pipeline for new business.  When there is a recession you need to learn how to manage your cash and finances better. If you learn to manage cash flow well now you will be even better in a recession.  Staff costs are likely to reduce in a recession and it is often possible to employ very talented and skilled individuals at lower salaries.  You can buy businesses cheaply and grow through acquisition during a recession.  People will have fear and they will need guidance. They will need leaders and that can be you if you manage your emotions well.  People think that money disappears in a recession, it doesn’t it just moves, from traditional businesses to lean businesses from old businesses to new businesses.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘When we saw the last recession, we had fears and concerns, but it ended up being good for our business’  ‘I learned a lot vicariously from other property companies during the last recession’  ‘If your competitors are spending less on marketing you have less competition for leads’  ‘If you learn to manage cash flow well now you will be even better in a recession’     VALUABLE RESOURCES   No Money Down: Property Investing book by Kevin McDonnell   https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/    ABOUT THE GUEST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor and property educator.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Do you want to become a master negotiator? Do you want to secure property deals and grow your business? If the answer is yes, this episode is for you. Your host, Kevin McDonnell interviews world renowned negotiation expert and best-selling author of bare-knuckle negotiation, Simon Hazeldine. Kevin and Simon discuss the key skills you need to have to become a master negotiator, mistakes to avoid and techniques to follow to ensure you end up with the deal you deserve. ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD KEY TAKEAWAYS What do you see as the key skills of a master negotiator? Being a good negotiator is a critical part of your skill set, have a successful property portfolio, property investment, investment business. What makes what makes a really good negotiator is research shows, for example, a good negotiators gather twice as much information as they give, they focus a lot of time, a lot of efforts, a lot of energy in doing what I call getting inside the other person's head and understanding things from their point of view. Good negotiators are also very well planned and prepared. Make sure that people are thoroughly planned and prepared, that they follow a planning process that increases your confidence that helps you consider options before they come up. A good negotiator doesn't do every deal and a good negotiator does every deal that makes good commercial sense. Knowing when to walk is another important thing for people. Patience is also a good thing to be acting unhurriedly even if you are in a hurry, remaining as calm and objective as you possibly can because emotions can obviously flare, human beings are very emotional creatures. Be very polite and respectful is also a good thing. A good negotiator does less what is called irritating behaviours, finger pointing, aggression, sarcasm and insults. Keeping it professional is an important thing to do, particularly if you want to be doing repeat business with that individual or that organization. Good negotiators have the ability to step into their shoes of a seller and see it from the seller's point of view. Price is a factor in any negotiation. Usually, it is very rarely if ever, the only factor and if it's just got narrowed down to price, you might be missing other opportunities to add value to the deal for the other parts. It is always about the people, the people who own that property that you want to buy must be willing to also sell it to you or want to do a joint venture with you. If you find out what's most important to people and then you show them how you can help them get what's most important to them, that's selling a negotiation in a nutshell. Solve their problem instead of trying to buy their house. What are the biggest mistakes people make in negotiating? Moving too quickly to sort of doing the bargaining, how much are we going to pay and then that they don't spend enough time planning and preparing. They don't spend enough time understanding the perspective of the other person. New property investors, property developers are sometimes very anxious to get some notches, some numbers and get some deals done and sometimes pursue a deal far too long when they should walk away because they feel nothing's happening and it's not working. If your first five deals that you sign up roll pretty badly, you're going to have those bad boys in your portfolio for a while. Definitely move fast but move faster when the deal is right. Tips for getting better results in a negotiation. Do your homework and do your research. Knowledge is power, walk the streets, have a look, get to know the areas, monitor things, watch what's happening. Ask more questions, do less talking and more listening. Find out if you can construct something that is going to meet what that person needs, solve their problems and take away their pain. BEST MOMENTS “People think that negotiation is the sexy exciting cut and thrust, but that's only going to be sexy and exciting if you've done your homework in advance.” “The more time you invest in the deal, the harder psychologically it is to get out it.” “Neuroscience research shows that 95% of the influence on our decisions is from more emotional primitive regions of the brain.” “Average man or woman in the street thinks negotiation is open high, drop down, meet me halfway and back and forth but it’s much more than that.” “Empathy is different to sympathy, empathy just means I get how you're feeling, I understand how you’re feeling, I understand why this is important to you.” “Word of mouth is very powerful and also a very bad form of marketing, depending on what's being said about you.” “Understand that if you feel a bit uncomfortable, that's called being human and that's really normal and that's not a bad thing.” “The more you learn, the more you earn.” “The more desperate you are, the worst deal you will do.” “If you don't ask, you have rejected yourself.” “You make your own luck through the work and the effort and the focus that you put in.” VALUABLE RESOURCES simonhazeldine.com https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities.  BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
