If I were to ask you what enables some people to build successful property businesses, what would you say? Perhaps they bought at the right time, knew the right people, or purchased properties at the right price and added significant value, consistently. While I agree with these factors, my experience over 15 years in the industry has shown me there's much more to building a truly successful property business. I've met many great people, some of whom have established incredible property businesses. I believe there are 10 key traits shared by the most successful property investors in our industry—traits we often overlook when considering what's needed to build a thriving property business. In this episode, I'll share these traits with you. If you're interested in learning what they are and whether you possess them, make sure to stick around. - Please leave us a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you find this episode useful.

If you believe that rent to rent is solely for those with limited capital, unable to purchase properties, you're mistaken. While it's indeed a fantastic approach for individuals with limited resources, it offers benefits beyond just that. It serves as a gateway to enter the market, build cash flow, experience, networking, and various other advantages. However, if you're already managing an HMO property business, having closed deals and established your presence in the industry, you likely grasp the essence of the model. You understand the intricacies of numbers, refurbishments, tenant management, and more. Given that your goal likely involves generating cash flow—after all, you're investing in HMOs—incorporating rent to rent into your strategy aligns perfectly with your objectives. So in this episode, let's explore how you can use this strategy to supercharge your results. Join our inaugural R2R Discovery Day on April 6th 2024 in Manchester. Get your tickets here.

In today's episode, I'll be talking about one of my favourite strategies – rent-to-rent. If you've been a long-time listener or have been following my journey, you'll understand why I hold a soft spot for rent-to-rent. It's notably less capital-intensive compared to the process of purchasing, acquiring, and refurbishing your own HMOs. These are, of course, distinct models of wealth creation, but if your goal is to build your owned portfolio, then rent-to-rent can serve as an excellent starting point, accelerating the overall process. We'll cover the following key points in today's discussion: Interested in joining our R2R Discovery Day on April 6th, 2024?

In today's episode, I'll discuss six essential clues for identifying highly profitable deals. While these ideas may not be new, they often go overlooked. Despite being aware of them, many fail to actively incorporate them into their deal analysis. These clues, like breadcrumbs, can lead you to the best deals in the market. Throughout this episode, I'll explain why these indicators matter and share my experience of spotting them in successful deals. To build a supply of lucrative opportunities, it's crucial to proactively look for these clues rather than merely acknowledging their importance. So, let's delve into these familiar yet often neglected aspects that can have a significant impact on your investment success.

The biggest limitation to building a property business is a lack of capital. Unfortunately, for many of us, myself included, we're not born into a world of trust funds and millions of pounds in our back pockets. That means we have to save and work really hard to gather the cash needed to buy the properties we want. Once we've got it, we put it to work, recycle it through a project, and then we can go again. The issue with that process is its slow pace. However, what if I told you there was a way to buy property with little to no capital? What if you could rinse and repeat that strategy, buying deal after deal, gradually scaling up your portfolio using somebody else's money? Well, that would be the holy grail, wouldn't it? So in this episode, we're going to discuss whether it is possible to invest and build a portfolio with little to no capital.
