How I Went From The Red Arrows to Property Investor

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode Kevin speaks with Gary Ware from the brighter skies podcast. Gary started in property in 2016 flipping properties; his goal was to make enough money in property to become mortgage free. He educated himself well, including various Progressive programmes such as Multiple Streams of income which he now attributes a lot of his success to. As well as Gary’s own journey, they talk about the importance of resourcefulness, mental health and of course, property. Join them to hear an open and compelling conversation about what it’s really like to change your life with property. KEY TAKEAWAYS   Gary struggled with school and ended up leaving with just two GCSEs. However, he knew that he had two dreams, either to be an entrepreneur or to go into the Red Arrows. Under his Dads’ guidance he joined The Royal Airforce. After working his way up he realised he had reached his peak and still wanted to become an entrepreneur, so that’s what he did. When Kevin started in property he thought he didn’t need a wealth of knowledge, this lead to him making a very big investment mistake abroad. He lost a lot of money, his advice to anyone wanting to get into property is to get educated first. Being in the Red Arrows at a managerial level taught Gary how to manage people, put processes in place and project managing. All invaluable transferable skills for his property journey. Gary’s biggest obstacle in his property journey has been imposter syndrome. Kevin believes that imposter syndrome is actually fear but that you need to have some fear to encourage you to research and gather evidence of what is the correct steps to take to become successful. MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: is the Progressive course that Gary first took which changed the trajectory of his property journey: he says it changed his life. The course has the UK’s brightest property experts share in-depth, practical knowledge of buy-to-let properties, raising finance and how to build a mighty property portfolio from the ground up. There may be a wealth of free knowledge out there but if it was that easy to access, understand and motivate you then everyone would know everything. A lot of success it built around commitment, to try, challenge and then succeed. Kevin’s biggest wins were when he restarted after failing. Taking those first steps after making a mistake is what has built his success today. BEST MOMENTS “It was the wake-up call, follow your dreams” “I restarted and I focused on cashflow…and know I’m known as the UKs no-money down expert!” “You’re getting a generic answer and sometimes a little bit of knowledge in the wrong hands is a disaster"  “You call it imposter syndrome, I call it fear…fear that holds you back is dangerous, fear that drives you forward is good” “I don’t love property, I love what it does for me and I love securing a deal” 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 Gary Ware https://uk.linkedin.com/in/gary-ware-47337874 ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Rob Moore & Mark Homer Celebrate 15 Years of Progressive

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD “Progressives' vision is to help as many people on the planet invest freedom, choice and profit. We’ll keep doing that as long as we can and not quit”   Join the co-founders of Progressive Property, Rob Moore and Mark Homer as they celebrate the 15 year anniversary of Progressive! Rob and Mark have made hundreds of deals, navigated through recessions, highs and many lows, constantly having to innovate and change to remain relevant and prosperous. They also talk about their favourite moments, who and what inspires them and what the next steps for themselves and Progressive will be.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Like many businesses, Rob, Mark and the various Progressive companies, have had to adapt and pivot to manage through covid. Their ability to adapt, willingness to evolve and foresight has allowed them to not just survive during the pandemic, but thrive. The biggest thing that has impacted Progressive in the past and continues to do so, is government changes; including introducing new laws, regulations and planning regulations. The renting landscape is changing. There is more and more demand for residential properties and the standard is also shifting. Such as included amenities and the high quality finish that is being created and found in rental properties. Neither Rob or Mark envisioned the place they are at today. They could easily retire off their property portfolio alone, excluding the income they receive from their other businesses. The journey to becoming the biggest training company was exciting but the challenge has been staying there. People are constantly trying to steal Progressives ideas, trainers and everything else! They have to be ahead of the game to remain at the top. Rob and Mark have never wanted to quit the Progressive journey. Of course they have had their share of challenging and difficult times but they have always had faith in property and in themselves, to keep moving forward. Progressives visions is to help as many people as they can, to invest for freedom, choice and profit. They have helped thousands of people to date, Rob and Mark don’t celebrate this often enough! To key being a successful entrepreneur is remaining unsatisfied; you have to always be striving for more. It’s essential to have complimentary skills with a business partner. This is how Rob and Mark have been able to work together so successfully for so many years. The government have a lot of power; this is the most valuable lesson that Rob and Mark have learnt since the start of the Progressive journey. They cost Progressive the most and they also impact them the most with many regulations and changes they make. Key to overcoming these challenges is the fact Rob and Mark have kept Progressive Nimble, with good cashflow and surrounded themselves with the right professionals to navigate any changes that impact Progressive. Life is for living, we all only get one life. It’s important to always remember that. This is one of the things that drives Rob through life and BEST MOMENTS “You do get passive income but you also get active problems” “All these changes have been sped up over the past couple of years” “I learned a lot from Mark in those early years to catch up…once I started to believe in myself I started to think we could do everything” “It’s got to be about our customers and our tenants, and our investors and our community” “It was always property first, before training and course…you can’t teach what you don’t know” “One of the biggest lessons for me is to stay nimble, keep plenty of cash” ALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk     ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

How I Built My Property Investment Business From Zero

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD A motivating and informative episode where Kevin speaks to property investor Martin Sanderson. Martin talks about how he got started in property investing and how he turned his initial zero investment into a scalable successful property business.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Martin was working in hospitality but then read Kevin’s book which made him decide to do the Progressive No Money Down Course and hasn’t looked back since. When lockdown hit, Martin took the initiative and put himself out there on social media and it worked – he secured deals whilst most of the country was on pause. Martin has already managed to scale his no-money down property business, he has managed this mostly by using creative techniques he learnt from Progressive, often helping people along the way too. Networking was incredibly beneficial to Martin and his team. This made him want to join and expand the Progressive Property Network in his area of Preston. BEST MOMENTS “You can create the money to buy that building out of the profits of the pub, it becomes a true no-money-down deal the money is created before you ever buy it from the asset you’ve acquired” “It’s helping people get more from their property in a creative structured way” “If you’re listening to this, do not share the details of a deal unless you’ve got it secured” ALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk     ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Why Are House Prices So Expensive

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin was at one of his refurb properties recording for the Progressive Property YouTube channel and it got him thinking about the myth of house prices right now being ‘expensive’. He talks about the causes of the housing market growth the past 18 months, explains why this has happened and demonstrates that it is actually an opportunity you can seize.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   If you went back to previous house price hikes, such as 2003 and 1995 would you ask why house prices are so expensive? Are they really expensive or is it just the new normal? Due to pandemic restrictions, lockdowns, the stamp duty holiday and inflation we have seen tremendous increase in house prices in the past 18+ months. The uncertainty around banking, cash savings and inflation causing devaluation of money has created more property buyers, compounding the already booming market. Expense is all relative. It doesn’t matter how much a property costs you if you make profit from it each month or you are adding value. Your mortgage will always be cheaper than what you can rent it out at. Look for properties where you can add some value.   BEST MOMENTS “When you print money and you put more money in the economy is causes inflation”   “We created a property bubble…these are little money boxes, it doesn’t matter what the price is, what matters is the profit you make from it”   “Interest rates have never been cheaper, they’re historically low”     VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk       ABOUT THE HOST   Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

How to Create Wealth Through Property

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin joins Jessen James on the Mind Over Money podcast to talk about the power of property investing itself, as well as his own personal journey in business, and the part that mind-set has played in his incredible rise to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so. When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths. Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial. Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones. BEST MOMENTS 'Within 12 months I'd replaced my income' 'I had no choice but to think creatively' 'It's not difficult to raise money. It's difficult to try' 'Stop looking back and look forward' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mind Over Money Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/mind-over-money ABOUT THE GUEST Jessen James Jessen has spoken to and trained thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world, and has featured on Channel 5's Rich House Poor House.

Will House Prices Rise or Fall in 2022?

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Join Kevin in this insightful episode. He discusses his thoughts on what will happen to the UK property market in 2022 and looks back at what happened in 2021 to help answer this hotly debated question.   KEY TAKEAWAYS House prices in 2021 rose significantly, this was pure growth. The stamp duty holiday, high inflation and the drive towards assets caused this. A crash will be coming, it might not be in 2022 but it’s possible, however Kevin believes it is more likely to occur in 2023 to 2025. Inflation will decrease in 2022 but it will still remain high. BEST MOMENTS “There is not set amount of years on a cycle, it’s not that simple. However what goes up must flatten out, must fall” “Will we see growth like 2021? I don’t think so” "BYOB should mean 'Be Your Own Bank'. If you want to become successful you've got to take control of your financial future"  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Progressive Property  PS13/3 Restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes (PDF)   Wealth Dynamics Test  ABOUT THE HOSTKevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Estate Agent Reveals How Perfectly Find Your Property Deals

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD In this episode, Kevin speaks to Joe Catchside who has over 16 years’ experience in the property industry, including in property investing and running his own estate agency. They talk in depth about estate agents and share some tips and tricks about how to get the best out of them. They also discuss the importance of building relationships and how to utilise them to create your perfect property portfolio.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Joe opened his own estate agents in 2005 with his wife. After having their first child, they wanted a business that could give them some security that was also built on their personal experience in property. They had some very challenging years and circumstances in running their estate agency and after the most difficult year of 2016, they decided to start building their own property portfolio to build their wealth. Although there are some very experienced and passionate estate agents out there, the overwhelming majority don’t have their own property portfolio. It’s worth building lasting relationships with agents as once they know you are credible they will pass fantastic deals onto you first. It has to be a win-win relationship, you need to identify to them why they will benefit from doing a deal with you. Although Joe had a lot of experience in property, he decided for his next property investing steps he wanted some more formal training. He has completed several progressive courses including No Money Down and Serviced Accommodation Masterclass. There may be big property investors in your area but this doesn’t mean there aren’t still deals to be had. Build great relationships and put yourself out there. BEST MOMENTS “The overwhelmingly majority of agency staff are people that are salaried employees and that just happens to be where they work” “You need to be frank and transparent with what you are doing” “Many of the best deals are delivered by a call before it even gets onto right move” “Ultimately houses sell at the price that the market dictates” ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Mark Homer's Predictions For 2022

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Listen in to this episode to hear Mark Homer talk about his predications for 2022, where the market is going, what he thinks may happen and the impact this will have on business owners and property investors KEY TAKEAWAYS Smaller units and apartments have been selling slower in 2021 –vs- houses, especially in London. The North and satellite cities such as Peterborough have benefitted from this and have been ‘catching up’ with London. There have been a lot of discussions around inflation. Mark doesn’t believe there is going to be some massive spike of inflation into the double digits, he just doesn’t think this is likely to happen, most of what we is seeing is just a short term side effect of restrictions and lockdowns on supplies. Mark thinks that capital growth in 2022 will be higher on smaller units and apartments in cities than it will be on houses in rural areas, mostly due to the success the latter has found in 2021, everywhere else will be playing catch-up. Cryptocurrency has had another successful and strong year in 2021. Many people have used it as a speculative investment strategy as well as a way to store money. 2022 is likely to be a more turbulent year and many of the smaller cryptocurrencies will probably fail. Look for yield in 2022. Only invest in assets that are solid, will yield well and that you fully understand. BEST MOMENTS “I don’t need to tell you in 2021 house prices went up a lot” “My educated guess is that the equilibrium rate probably hasn’t changed that much” “Once you become the best, you beat the rest of the market and you end up making solid returns” 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. He is a system and spreadsheet geek and has developed a complex, confidential deal analyser system of buying residential, commercial and multi-let properties.

5 Tips When To Know When Choosing a Joint Venture Partner - #rewind 134

In this episode of the Progressive Property Podcast we revisit episode 134 where Dan gives you the 5 essential things to consider when looking for a JV partner. Choosing your JV partner is NOT a child’s game, like pin the tail on the donkey or ring-around-the-rosy. There’s too much at stake when you don’t think carefully and you don’t have your guards up. Discover how you can thoroughly pick the best JV partner in your property business through Dan’s simple steps. There will always be one who’s very compatible with your knowledge, skills, and vision, so never settle!   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Work out the real reason you need a JV partner. Are you really in dire need? Or are you just lacking of self-belief? What business are you looking to bring your JV partner on? Make sure that your bringing in the right person. If you don’t want to do it alone, it’s worth considering also to have a mentor who can guide you. Having a JV partner might complicate the situation if you aren’t clear yet of your purpose.  What will each person’s role be? It’s best that you complement each other. Find someone who have the knowledge and skills that you lack. And, who will deal with the day to day issues? If you just want someone who will provide the funds, then being active with the operations is the least to worry about when looking for a JV partner.   Before any agreements, remember to make a list of things you need to agree upfront. A JV Partnership agreement must entail everything each of you must bring to the table. What does your JV partner want? Know what outcome are they looking forward to. Also prepare an exit plan just incase of unforeseen circumstances (e.g. breach of contract, critical illness, etc.)  If you’re looking for a joint venture in property, familiarize yourselves first with PS13/3 regulations. There are only a bunch of people you’re allowed to joint venture with, and PS13/3 has it detailed.  Don’t pick someone just like you. You are not looking for another you, you are looking for someone who can do what you can’t do. Consider taking the Wealth Dynamics Test to gauge if your personalities are compatible. You and your partner can be: a Creator, a Star, a Supporter, a Deal Maker, a Trader, an Accumulator, a Lord, or a Mechanic.  Don’t rush in to picking a JV partner. If you’re picking someone for the long term, test everything out first. It would be a waste of time to know that what you have hope for in the partnership won’t be fruitful. Be clear about their values, not just about the money, the skill, and the knowledge they can offer.  BEST MOMENTS  “Sometimes, people think they need a JV partner and they go into business with somebody when in hindsight, all they needed was to build some knowledge and gain some belief for themselves.”  “We have the end in mind before we even started, and that’s what’s really important.”  “You are not looking for the best mate to go out with, you are looking for a business partner who brings a different dynamic, a different skillset.”  “Pick the right person to grow the business.”  “It’s not a race; it’s a journey.”  “I made a lot of mistakes in property, but I made them before I got educated.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Progressive Property  PS13/3 Restrictions on the retail distribution of unregulated collective investment schemes (PDF)   Wealth Dynamics Test    ABOUT THE HOSTKevin McDonnell Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Alfie Best: Interview With £350m Property Empire Owner - Rewind #114

In this episode of The Progressive Property Podcast, we revisit a previous episode, with entrepreneur and property investor Alfie Best. Learn how to grow your property business quickly, understand the benefits of getting an education and pick up great hints and tips along the way with Kevin and Alfie! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Property is a people business. One of the best gifts that you can be given is learning how to speak to everybody because you never know who's coming out from behind that door. It could be somebody 90, it could be somebody 15. They're from many different worlds. Learning how to speak to people on the spot is a massive education because it gives you the confidence to know how to speak to people.  How to grow your business quickly. Everybody has problems but your problems should not be an issue, your problems should be a learning experience and every issue that you come across makes you stronger for the next round. It's about going out for the fight, being fit for the fight, being fit for the purpose of the fight, and learning by your mistakes.  Education. Another thing you should do to grow your business rapidly is about knowing your business whether it is vehicles selling, whether it is property or whatever. Through education and learning how you should operate your business to reach optimum production of your company or business, you will always succeed in your businesses.  Self-belief that failure is not an option. This is something that should always be in you whether you are successful or not or whether you are rich or poor. Having this kind of spirit in you always keeps you going whenever the times get hard and be sure with this, you will always emerge at the top. We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from. We don't make mistakes unless we harp on them, what we do is we learn from them to not make that decision in that way again.   Be prepared to listen. There’s a reason we were given one mouth and two ears by God, this is so that you can listen more and do less talking. The more you listen the more you learn. This helps a lot because you get to learn more skills that you didn’t know from people by listening to them.  Ask if you are not sure of anything. Be prepared to take advice from people who have already achieved great success. Swallow your pride and ask, do not assume that you know everything which may cost you big in the future. If you want advice, don't ask the funeral or the undertaker how to arrange your wedding and don't go to the wedding exhibition expecting them to arrange a funeral, go to the right person to ask the right question, ask people that are within the industry.  When you're in a job that you love, do more than you're paid to do because you will be recognized for it and you will climb the ladder faster than anybody else in that company. Because people can see that you're somebody that is conscientious about what you're doing.  For you to achieve success in your personal and business life, you need to look at the company that you surround yourself with because if you surround yourself with people talking about football, you’ll talk about football, if you surround yourself with people talking about boxing, you’ll talk about boxing, if you surround yourself with people talking about business, you’ll talk about business, this is because we are all creatures of habit. Try to surround yourself with people that have the right habits.   BEST MOMENTS  “One of the best gifts that you can be given is learning how to speak to everybody.”  “Always learn through your mistakes.”  “Everybody makes mistakes, the two things you need to do is admit them and learn from them. People that can't admit them and people that can't learn from them will stay stagnant.”  “We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from.”  “You fail when you quit.”  “We don’t live long enough to make all of the mistakes ourselves, learn from others and life will be a lot shorter and a lot more enjoyable where your work is concerned.”  “A man with a plan will be a genius without a plan.”  “We are never ever too old to learn.”  “The only person that put somebody down is themselves.”  “Success is made up of good habits.”  “Believe in yourself and always listen to everybody but the advice you choose to take must be your decision.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  Website: https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/   ABOUT THE GUEST  Alfie Best. He was working from the age of eight and with time, his entrepreneurial mind kicked in at an age of around 12 and 14.
