My WORST EVER Property Business Partner

Simon recounts a specific project where he partnered with individuals who were managing multiple developments simultaneously, leading to significant delays and financial losses.  He discusses the importance of thorough vetting of joint venture partners, clear communication, and the necessity of having written agreements outlining responsibilities, as well as highlighting  the potential benefits of joint ventures when executed correctly KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to thoroughly understand your joint venture partners, including their workload and capabilities. Overcommitting can lead to mismanagement and project delays. Clearly define who is responsible for what in the joint venture. Having a written agreement helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures accountability. Schedule regular check-ins to discuss project progress and address any issues. This helps keep everyone on the same page and fosters a sense of urgency. Ensure that all parties are aware of the financial costs involved, including interest on borrowed money. This awareness can motivate partners to act more promptly and responsibly. BEST MOMENTS "The number one mistake I made was I didn't ask them how many projects they were doing." "When someone doesn't feel the cost or the pain of the interest that's mounting up, they don't have the same sense of urgency." "You've got to be able to get on really well with that person... take your time to get to know people." "If you have an agreement in writing, it's then very clear who has or who hasn't done what they should do."

Simon discusses the benefits of joint venturing with property owners, highlighting how investors can make significant profits without using their own money. He presents a practical example involving a mastermind student who collaborated with a landowner and a financier to develop a piece of land into specialised supported housing, potentially yielding substantial returns. Additionally, learn about creative financing strategies, such as purchase options, which allow for quicker transactions and avoidance of stamp duty KEY TAKEAWAYS Joint venturing with property owners allows investors to make significant profits without using their own money, avoid stamp duty, and complete transactions much faster than traditional property purchases. Building a strong network in the property industry is essential for success. The more connections you have, the more opportunities you can create for joint ventures and finding potential deals. Actively seeking out abandoned or empty properties in your local area can lead to lucrative off-market deals, where there is less competition compared to properties listed for sale. Investing in personal education and collaborating with knowledgeable partners can enhance your ability to identify and execute profitable property deals, making joint ventures more effective. BEST MOMENTS "You can make a lot of money investing in property using none of your own money." "If you keep doing it, it absolutely works." "Because you're not actually buying the property, you can do the transaction much, much quicker." "With off market property deals, you have no competition at all." "Grow your network, invest in yourself, educate yourself, and these opportunities are out there."

Simon examines the critical importance of specialised knowledge for successful property investing. He introduces the 3M method—Measure, More, and Multiply—as a framework for maximising returns in your property business. He also talks about how to take action by attending events like Property Magic Live and local Property Investor Network meetings to connect with like-minded individuals and share successful strategies, stressing that investing in oneself and leveraging the experiences of others can significantly enhance your property investment journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve your property investment goals, it's crucial to gain specialised knowledge. Gaps in your education can lead to costly mistakes, similar to crossing a suspension bridge with missing planks. Investing in coaching can provide the support and accountability needed to navigate challenges in property investing. A coach can help identify blind spots and prevent critical errors. 3M Method for Success: The 3M formula consists of: Engaging with like-minded individuals at events like Property Magic Live or local Property Investor Network meetings can help fill knowledge gaps and provide insights into successful strategies used by others. BEST MOMENTS "The more knowledge you have, you can plug the gaps and you're going to be less likely to make expensive mistakes." "Maybe I should have invested in myself and got a coach because then I probably wouldn't have bought this property." "Sometimes we're so busy doing, we don't take the time out to step back and review the results we're getting." "When you know what's working, just do more of that before you try and invent or introduce anything else." "It's all about growing your network of like-minded people who are doing what you want to do."

Simon discusses the important considerations surrounding the decision to sell a property, sharing insights on why selling might be beneficial, particularly when local demand shifts or when equity is trapped in a property that isn't yielding a good return. He also focusses upon the significance of preparing a property for sale, including conducting necessary refurbishments and selecting a proactive estate agentd decisions about their real estate investments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Selling property can be beneficial if local demand decreases, if there is trapped equity in a property that isn't yielding a good return, or if a full refurbishment has been completed to maximise sale revenue. It's crucial to find a proactive and responsive estate agent. Be wary of agents who inflate property values to secure listings; always ask for comparable sales to validate their pricing. Different agents may provide significantly different valuations for the same property. Conduct thorough research and consult multiple agents to ensure you have an accurate understanding of your property's worth. When evaluating properties, consider not just the cash flow but also the opportunity cost of the equity tied up in the property. A low cash flow may indicate that selling and reinvesting could yield better returns. BEST MOMENTS "If maybe something's happened to the local demand in the area, and it's really hard to rent that property out, or if there's a lot of equity trapped in a property..." "It's so important to make sure you find the right agent. So fingers crossed, we'll see what happens." "When agents are giving you prices of property they think they can sell it for, ask them, can you give me some like comparisons?" "You should look at your portfolio every year to assess all of your investments. Is your money working as hard as it could?"

Simon discusses overcoming mental blocks that hinder success in property investment, stressing the importance of taking action and addressing fears related to funding and self-worth. He highlights common issues such as imposter syndrome and the fear of judgment, encouraging listeners to share their journeys on social media and engage with local property investor networks KEY TAKEAWAYS Many investors face mental barriers that prevent them from taking action, often rooted in fear or self-doubt. Recognizing and addressing these blocks is crucial for progress. It's important to make offers on every property viewed, regardless of current funding. This practice helps build confidence and negotiation skills, even if the offers are initially rejected. Investors should evaluate the potential costs of accessing equity in their properties against the opportunity costs of not pursuing deals. This analysis can reveal profitable opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked. Engaging with local property investor networks and sharing your journey on social media can help build connections and attract potential investors. Overcoming the fear of judgment is essential for growth. BEST MOMENTS "I feel a bit of a fraud... I don't want to use other people's money." "If I take it out, I've got to pay redemption... I'm tied into mortgages." "What other people think of you is none of your business." "You need to say, OK, what does the price need to be in order for this to meet my criteria?"

Simon examines property market crashes and the potential financial pitfalls that can arise, such as negative equity and losses on investments. Drawing from personal experiences over 30 years of property investing, he shares insights on the 2007 market boom and subsequent crash, highlighting the importance of positive cash flow and strategic decision-making. KEY TAKEAWAYS The property market can experience significant fluctuations, as seen during the 2007-2009 financial crisis. It's crucial to recognise that property values can decrease, leading to situations like negative equity. Always prioritise properties that generate positive cash flow. This ensures that even during market downturns, you can maintain ownership without the need to sell under pressure. To mitigate losses during a market crash, plan to hold properties for the long term. Selling during a downturn often results in financial losses, while holding allows for potential recovery as the market improves. Everyone in property investment will encounter challenges and losses. It's essential to learn from these experiences, whether they are your own or those of others, to make informed decisions in the future. BEST MOMENTS "I’ve made some mistakes. I’ve lost some money on some deals. Now, obviously, I’ve made more than I’ve lost overall." "The only people who lose money when the property market comes down are people who have to sell." "If you’re following the five golden rules from Property Magic, you can rent it out and make cash flow. We don’t need to sell." "It’s important to learn from mistakes. It’s better to learn from someone else’s mistakes rather than learning from yours."

Simon shares valuable insights on the four common mistakes that aspiring property investors often make, which can hinder their success. Drawing from his 30 years of experience in property investing and 22 years of mentoring others, Simon emphasises the importance of overcoming worry, building belief in oneself and the potential of property investing, and taking focused action KEY TAKEAWAYS Many potential property investors let fear and worry about uncertainties in the market hold them back. It's important to recognise that much of this worry is unfounded and can prevent you from seizing opportunities. There are two types of belief crucial for success in property investing: belief in the potential of property investing itself and self-belief. Surrounding yourself with successful investors can help build your confidence and understanding of what is possible. Engaging in activities like watching videos or attending events is not enough. Successful property investing requires focused action, such as finding and viewing properties, making offers, and negotiating deals. Failing to act on knowledge and opportunities can lead to significant financial losses. The longer you wait to invest, the more potential income and wealth you miss out on. BEST MOMENTS "Human nature is we worry about things. And very often we worry about things before they happen. A lot of that worry is wasted energy."  "The biggest mistake is the opportunity cost of despite knowing what you should do, not actually doing it."  "If you think you can or think you can't, you're absolutely right."  "Just being around like-minded people could be absolutely transformational."

Simon addresses a common question among property investors: whether to buy a property with vacant possession or with tenants in situ. The discussion highlights the pros and cons of both options, emphasising the potential benefits of purchasing tenanted properties, such as immediate rental income and the opportunity to increase rents over time. Simon shares personal experiences, including a case study of acquiring a tenanted HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) and successfully refurbishing it while keeping tenants happy.  KEY TAKEAWAYS When buying a property, consider whether to purchase with vacant possession or with tenants already in place. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, such as potential rental income and the condition of the property. If buying a tenanted property, it's crucial to check the tenants' contracts, payment history, and the overall condition of the property. Ensure that all necessary checks were performed by the previous landlord, including deposit protection and compliance with safety regulations. When negotiating the purchase of a tenanted property, aim for a price that is 10-15% lower than what you would pay for a vacant property. This accounts for the lower rental income and the potential challenges of managing existing tenants. It is possible to refurbish a property that is fully tenanted. By communicating with tenants and providing temporary solutions, such as alternative cooking facilities, you can improve the property without requiring vacant possession. BEST MOMENTS "Most people, when they buy a property, normally it's going to have vacant possession where it's empty." "Buying a property with tenants in situ can actually be quite attractive sometimes." "You need to check the contracts that people are currently on to make sure they are correct contracts." "If you’re buying a tenanted property, you should be securing it 10 to 15 percent below what you would pay if it would be empty."

Simon shares a candid and motivational rant, reflecting on the importance of taking action and seizing opportunities in property investing. He discusses his recent experiences, including his recovery from illness and insights gained from reading Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book, "The Science of Scaling." Simon also looks at the value of investing in oneself and the need for discipline and focus to achieve significant goals. He highlights common traps that property investors fall into, such as the landlord trap and the comfort trap, urging listeners to push beyond their comfort zones KEY TAKEAWAYS People who invest in paid programs, such as the Mastermind Accelerator, tend to be more committed and take action compared to those who only consume free information.  To scale and grow effectively, it's crucial to be disciplined with time management and focus on significant goals rather than getting sidetracked by smaller, less impactful tasks.  There are three common traps that property investors fall into: the landlord trap (managing properties themselves), the rat race trap (being asset-rich but cash-poor), and the comfort trap Many people miss out on valuable opportunities due to skepticism or a lack of motivation. Simon encourages listeners to take action, apply for scholarships, and participate in events BEST MOMENTS "The problem with free information is that sometimes people don't value it. They hear it... but they haven't paid for it and so they don't pay attention." "If you really want to scale and grow, you have to be absolutely disciplined with your time and focused on what you are trying to do." "You might be happy where you are. You might be very comfortable... but I honestly believe if you want to become a truly self-actualized person, we need to keep growing." "How many times are you self-sabotaging your success? You're not even having a punt at things because you think they're not going to work."

Simon discusses the inspiring journey of guests Timothy Witt and Phil Bygrave, who have successfully built a comprehensive property investing business. With backgrounds in construction management and sales, respectively, Tim and Phil share their experiences transitioning from traditional employment to entrepreneurship in the property sector. They delve into the importance of joint ventures, deal sourcing, and the value of collaboration in achieving financial freedom. The episode highlights their unique turnkey service that encompasses sourcing, building, and managing properties, making it easier for clients to invest without the usual hassles.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Working with others through joint ventures can enhance success in property investment. Complementary skills between partners can lead to better outcomes, as two individuals can achieve more together than separately. Before starting in property, it's crucial to define what you want to achieve, why you want it, and by when. This clarity helps in selecting the right strategy and maintaining focus on your objectives. To build a successful property business, answer these five questions: Who do you serve? What does their world need? What are you good at? How do you make money? What do you love? These questions guide decision-making and strategy development. Building relationships and sharing your journey in property can lead to opportunities for raising finance. People are more likely to invest in you if they know, like, and trust you, rather than just focusing on the deal itself. BEST MOMENTS "If two plus two can equal five, it's worth doing. It's got to be beneficial in lots of different ways."  "You can have some big, basic criteria and an idea of what you plan to do and maybe some contingencies."  "If you can answer those five questions, your business is going to be okay."  "You haven't built the relationship enough. You haven't got to norm as well as you could."  VALUABLE RESOURCES To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20).
