Probability & Risk

I'm taking a break for a few weeks so keep an eye out for the next season coming soon.

Being in the US for a few weeks now I've been struck more and more by the contrasts of regulation in the UK and especially in Texas, where I am right now. So I examine some of the ways I think we're getting it wrong in the UK, and what that means for property investors

Distractions are a problem in most areas of life, but few more so than when building a business. I examine how to decide whether something is a shiny object or actually something that could help you and save time or enhance your efforts.

How to prepare for the unexpected. If you're trying to create financial freedom and security, then it's important to protect it from the unexpected. I discuss the options and the sort of things that have upset people's plans in the past.

I take a look at the risks involved in being a landlord,, and a human being, and give some ideas to quanitfy the risk you have and how to protect against it

I look at the best way to determine how to work towards a portfolio that is big enough to give you the financial freedom you desire. There are lots of rubbish ways to do this so I take the mystery out of it!

It's all very well finding a deal and diving in, but the success lies in the planning. I explain what needs to be done in order to make sure your property journey arrives at the correct destination!

This week I speak with Paul Hilliard of LNPG, which is a discount club where exclusively landlord members get big discounts on everything from kitchens to boilers to paint. Discounts are brilliant at improving your return on investment and also kitting your units out with affordqable quality products, providing your tenants or guests with a better environment, and also lasting longer reducing costs in the future.

Changes in the way we work and in demographics are telling us that we need to prepare for the future now or get left behind. In the UK particularly we've always had a fairly laid back approach to work and money. But missing this opportunity will have sever consequences.

This episode I look at the abysmal state of the digital ecosystem where even very big companies are making rookie mistakes. Real life examples of digital failures which should have been picked up before publishing!
