Why 'Customer Reviews' are ESSENTIAL for a Successful Business

Tons of old-school businesses shy away from reviews because they’re afraid of being slated. But user reviews (both public & private) are extremely powerful.Whether it comes from Google, Trustpilot, or surveys, you need to know the good and the bad.Sure, sales can look great on the outside. But without feedback, you wouldn’t get the whole picture. Customers might not be enjoying the full experience;maybe they’re buying just because you’re the only option available.If you’re confident with your products, you wouldn’t be afraid of feedback.And even the best companies get bad reviews. The difference?They use them as an opportunity for improvement.---About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

DUBAI UNVEILED: My Honest and Unfiltered Travel Experience

Dubai’s hyped so much as a hub for entrepreneurs and the Good Life. And when I went there many months ago to visit a friend’s event, I was taken aback.I thought I was used to metropolises, having visited the bustling New York city and all. But Dubai can be a tad overwhelming if I’m being honest.

My Home Refurbishment: The Dos and Don'ts I Learnt

Refurbs, whether they’re for profit or for your home, are difficult, stressful, and tiring.If you're refurbishing a property for profit, you may have to secure financing, work with investors, and pay them back on strict deadlines.On the other hand, when you're refurbishing your own home, you're dealing with a unique set of issues that can get overwhelming very quickly.I recently completed ‘’Project Home’’ - my very own home refurb - so I’ll be sharing all the issues that sprung up and the lessons I’ve learned.Whether you're a seasoned professional or a first-time DIY-er, I’ll be providing you with valuable insights and tips to help you succeed in your own home refurbishment.---About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it.

Revealing my CHECKLIST for Buying MY FIRST BUSINESS

Buying your first business is a big step. It’s costly, it’s basically irreversible, and a huge decision for any entrepreneur.I'm on the lookout for my first business, and I recently recorded this video where I give a walkthrough of what I look for when I consider purchasing one. But I make it a point to only do business that aligns with my principles.So even though I’m looking at this profitable business in the health sector, I’m worried about ethics on this one. Is this an area of health that I should profit off of?What do you think?

Climbing the corporate ladder for 15 years, investing for 20 years & building a £4m portfolio with Ellie

About Ellie Donaghy:As a teenager my dream was always to become a builder, at the time I didn’t think this was something that females could do. Instead I took the very stereotypical role for a female in the property industry as a letting agent and climbed the corporate ladder. I worked in the lettings industry for nearly 15 years and have been investing personally for nearly 20 years. During the pandemic in 2021, whilst 7 months pregnant with my daughter, I decided to take the plunge and set up my own property investment and development business. Although not working directly as a builder I am able to work in the building industry in a variety of forms including direct project management and have a target of growing our property portfolio to £4million by the end of 2024.

Managing your properties using software and starting a tech company with Jake

About Jake Barlow:For some context, we started property investing in property around 2 years ago with £70k to play with (after selling our personal home). Since then, we have grown to a portfolio of 11 properties, quit our full-time jobs and now travel the world and work remotely (we are currently in Turkey).When we started out, we found that we were getting increasingly frustrated with the software solutions in the market. We’re used to there being tonnes of CRM’s that support with lettings management and a few sales CRM’s that we can use for sourcing deals, but nothing that deals with the full end to end process. This is why we launched Property Store. This is our website with a short video outlining the software: www.property-store.co.uk.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Professional Rugby to Deal Sourcing HMOs, 20 projects later, Dean shares all

About Dean Parata:I’m an Australian who has moved abroad originally to play professional rugby. I became involved in property in lockdown as it was something I always had a passion for. I began desk sourcing with a mutual friend and found myself gravitating towards HMO’s. We done quite well and sold over 20 deals and project managed all the refurbs. A year later I set up Parata Property and have been steadily growing ever since. This hasn’t been without it’s challenges! About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful.Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 660,000 downloads in over 100 countries and has 489 reviews, rated 5/5.Links:Instagram - @paratapropertyFacebook - @paratapropertyLinkedIn - Dean Parata Tej InvestsTej TalkseLearning Hosted on Acast.

WILL - Will Smiths book, is it a big HIT? - Book Review #5

Yes, that's right.I'm officially jumping in on the Will Smith bandwagon.While I'm at it, I might as well give my input on Kanye West and Ukraine, right? Quick disclaimer:This was made pre-slap, so I'm not going to talk about the whole Chris Rock - Jada Pinkett Smith, Oscar/Academy drama...Sorry to disappoint.This video won't be an old-fashioned Kumbaya moment...It's just you and me, reflecting on the deeper lessons in life. And what better way to do that than through someone who's been through the wringer, balancing family, kids, partner, and life to get to where he is.If that's not for you, maybe you'll read it just to get an understanding of why he did what he did.You may or may not think much about him at this point.But you can't deny one thing:The man has achieved a LOT.At the end of the day, there's always something to take away.And this is actually one of the few autobiographies I've been bothered to read.So grab a hot chocolate and see if it's worth picking up.Don't forget to give your unsolicited opinion on Will Smith in the comments!Legend or nah?

Why is everything so EXPENSIVE now? Inflation, Utility bills, cheese & fuel? #LivingCrisis

Why is it suddenly costing me a fortune to go to and from property viewings!?Maybe it’s time to start factoring petrol into the property purchase price as well?Inflation is something you hear about everywhere these days. People from all walks of life, from finance to property gurus. They’re all talking about it.

I bet you have, or else you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this video!In this video, I will take on this complex subject and explain inflation in more practical terms for those of you who’re thinking of purchasing your next BMV property.However, only explaining why you should be worried WON'T BE HELPFUL. So I’ll make sure to give you some actionable steps to follow if you want to be one of those people who beats inflation, rather than loses to it.So here’s what we will cover:- What is inflation?- How do you hedge against inflation?- Why are property prices always going up?- Why is the money you have in your bank account being devalued?- Is inflation as bad as they say?0:00 - Intro0:44 - Inflation 4:17 - Method 1: Reading5:00 - Method 2: Property5:22 - Method 3+4: Investment Accounts09:14 - Method 5: Crypto10:37 - Method 6: Car12:17 - Outro Hosted on Acast.

How I turned £30,000 into a £1.2m Property Portfolio in my 20s

Have you ever wondered how much money you need to start in property?This was also a question I had when I first started. So you're definitely not alone in asking that.The truth is, you don't need that much to get started. I may have started with £30,000 in my bank account, but I quickly realised that the amount of money you've got is not really what matters.Because, once I had paid the deposit on my first deal, I had nothing to pay off the refurb or the legal fees.So what did I do to complete my first deal?I went on a property course and got financially free within 2 hours...Is probably what I would've done, had I listened to the countless gurus out there.No, what I did was much more rooted in reality (and potentially boring?):I used the education I had developed after hours of reading and watching podcasts. Once I knew enough, I was able to start raising finance through the steps you'll see in this video.Stay till the end, and I'll show you exactly how I got started in property investing with £30,000 as well as how you can do the same with MUCH less.You'll see the mistakes I made, what went wrong, and what you should do to avoid the same mistakes that I made early on.As always, share some love by liking and subscribing if you found this helpful.🏘️For more info on how to get started, check out my Property Education platform:https://tejtalks.learnworlds.comFOLLOW ME ON INSTA --- https://www.instagram.com/tej.talks/TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro0:29 - My Beginnings1:25 - First Method2:36 - First Deal5:06 - Mistakes I Made6:48 - What You Need To Do7:36 - Don't Jump In Blindly8:21 - Conclusion Hosted on Acast.

Finding a JV partner, BRR HMOs whilst working full time, the Navy and RAF come together with Sacha and Tim

About Tim and Sacha:Hailing from the south coast and residing in Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy, Sacha is a serving naval officer working in Whitehall for the ministry of defence.She first got into property in 2005 buying her first house in Coventry (having obsessively watched Property Ladder) and flipping it achieving 25% net profit. While not quite out of her current profession, teaming up with her business partner Tim Brian at the start of the year is a step closer towards her goal of being full time in property and financially free.Tim is a retired RAF Medical Support Officer and has been full time in property since Jan 2017. From then until Sep 2020 he bought 7properties in Bangor and sold 2 which left him with 28 HMO student rooms and a restaurant spread across 5 properties/HMOs. Since Feb 2021 Tim has partnered with Sacha to consecutively 2 BRRR 2 x 8 bed HMOs in Bangor, the first one is complete and rented and the 2nd one is due to be finished in Mar 22.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second job… he was fired! A moment of relief and freedom was what he felt, not sure what his mother felt when he told her he was jobless at 23…He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. “If they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?” - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.Fortunately, he used the cash he’d built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, he’d stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over £650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a £1,200,000 property portfolio and created £30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him ‘financial freedom’, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful.Let’s not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 660,000 downloads in over 100 countries and has 489 reviews, rated 5/5.Links:Sacha.Brooks@Hampsfell.comIG: OCliving_PropertyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oclivingTej InvestsTej TalkseLearning Hosted on Acast.

£288,000 Rent on a £m 48 bed HMO, NO money in – but ALL money out, with Richie Miller

About Richie:Richie Miller has recently left the military where he was a Major in the Royal Logistic Corps. He started investing in property 5 years ago with the aim of replacing his salary so he could leave the Army. Life priorities changed when he got married and children arrived. From some reading and research, Richie decided it was possible to earn more money with less work through investing in property. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Taking action and decisively doing something different to what he was doing before, he now has a growing portfolio and a managed cash flow. His third ever property purchase was a 48 bed super HMO; Richie bought this with none of his own money.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Title Splitting for profit, why it beats HMOs and how it works in the current market with Rachel Knight

About Rachel:Everybody is currently investing in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), as this increases your rental yield versus some single let properties. This is a great strategy, but what happens when the market becomes saturated? How do you mitigate against regulation? How do you mitigate against saturation and competition in your market? How do you FUTURE PROOF YOUR PORTFOLIO? Ask the landlords who invested in areas, which became article 4 HMO wastelands…they are now trying to sell over leveraged properties. We decided at the beginning this would NOT happen to us. Did you? We have spent the last few years creating massive growth by Title splitting and we help other property investors do the same.LINK TO MASTERCLASS: https://pages.titlesplit.com/TEJTALKS About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Building a £Multi-Million BTL Portfolio in the North, then a monster 12 bed HMO, quitting your job, vendor financing and more with ARCH Investments

About ARCH Investments:We are Rosie and Allan of ARCH Investments from Kent. We have built a diverse, multi-million pound property portfolio over the last 3 years, which has now enabled me (Rosie) to leave my job and become a full-time property investor (Jan 2021). We started out focussing on buy to lets in the North West and were not intending on moving away from this model until a 12 bed HMO landed on our laps and turned us to the dark side. Since then we have begun to focus on diversifying our portfolio further with our next deal being a mixed use building in Kent. We have ticked a lot of the ‘creative property investing’ boxes so far on our journey: angel financing, vendor finance, money in money out projects, direct to vendor deals, multi-property purchase agreements; and we look forward to ticking off many more in the coming few years.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Building a lead-generating Direct2Vendor strategy, Commercial to Resi and PD rights with David Guest

About David:David started investing in property, properly, in 2020, with a small commercial conversion, in South-East London, turning an estate agents office into a 1-bed flat. The property was purchased for £120k, refurbished for £58k, and revalued at £240k, all during COVID. Since then, his dual strategy has seen him go in heavy on direct to vendor marketing, for commercial premises in the South-East, focusing on premises with permitted development rights, rather than looking for full planning, whilst building a rental portfolio of 3-bed properties, using sourcers and project managers in the North-East, to be relatively hands-off. Current conversion deals secured, in development or under option agreements are in excess of £4m GDV, whilst structuring them to limit risk as much as possible. He’s a firm believer that concentrated hard, consistent work will bear results. About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Buy Refurbish Refinance on BTLs and why it’s still a fantastic strategy, even for beginners with Luke Brindley

About Luke:Until the age of 35, Luke worked as an engineering consultant, predominantly within the Oil & Gas industry. However, the sacrifice of time that working around the UK and offshore required, led him to seek an alternative path. Luke started investing in property in 2011 alongside the day job and has since grown a seven figure property portfolio in his hometown of Hull & also East Yorkshire. With a strong focus on raising the quality of rented accommodation in the local area, whilst delivering a management service that tenants quite often struggle to get elsewhere.Aside from growing his own portfolio, Luke assists busy professionals via a successful property deal packaging business. Buy, Refurbish & Refinance has been the main strategy utilised over the years with a selection of flip projects, title splits & planning gain projects too. Developing methods of finding fantastic direct to vendor deals along the way.By his own admission his biggest mistake was keeping his first 5 years in property a secret from just about everyone. Since that time Luke has completed multiple projects with joint venture partners & has joined an illustrious club of investors by being featured in YPN Magazine twice! Luke has also teamed up with fellow highly respected property investor Jon Dale. Together combining 25 years of property experience, to deliver new and exciting actionable property education via Go All In Education.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Building a 15 unit R2R Portfolio aged 19 and investing all of her life savings into property – did it pay off?

About Evie:I started this crazy property journey at the age of 19, just out of college and I had just started my first job working as a blank clerk. There was something in me that always told me that one day I was going to become a successful entrepreneur and own my own business, I just never knew what this business would be. One ordinary day my partner stumbled across a Facebook ad which was advertising a free property seminar in London, we signed up and the rest is history. Under my company, Pegasus Estate LTD (currently being re-branded to Pink Door Properties) I now have a portfolio of 15 properties a mix between SA and HMO's and have been able to buy my own home at the age of 20. The opportunities that property has given me are endless and I will be forever grateful. My next goal is to purchase a BTL property, potentially before the end of the year! I then hope to build a large BTL portfolio. Although property is my main passion, I also enjoy writing and therefore started a blog called That Property Girl Evie which is where I write about my experiences in both property and business.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Developing Listed Buildings for profit, where others run, Phil jumps in! (Multi-Award winner)

About Phil:Starting in business at just 16 Phil has extensive experience in successful startups over the last 15 years, across a wide range of sectors including; furniture, retail, manufacture, technology, hospitality, interior design and property development.Phil and Karl have been friends for over 12 years and combined their skills to form Winter Melia Developments back in 2015 where they have seen the business scale organically from single dwellings to large scale residential conversions. Phil heads up the business and operations side of the business, while Karl focuses on the construction side of the business. We fell into historic buildings as an investment strategy when purchasing our first listed building in auction back in 2017, since then we have focused on this niche - which doesn't come without its challenges but our desire to create something unique and desirable has led us into this sector of the market. Having won several awards over the past couple of years for our schemes its certainly an area we are looking to explore further and we currently have 2 more Churches in the development pipeline with a combined GDV of £8m.Aside from property we have also recently launched a Proptech startup called BreezeMove, after being so fed up of the slow, opaque and frustrating side of the transaction from both a buyer and seller perspective on many occasions, we decided to set out to change that. Having come up with the ideal of a centralised digital platform to give all parties complete transparency of where the process is up to and which side is accountable for the next stage, we were invited down to The Home Office in 2017 to discuss with MHCLG which is where our journey started!About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Stop buying houses the 'old' way, double your ROI, halve your maintenance and... triple your wealth

6% Yield. Or something like that. Isn't that what you get if you buy a standard BTL in the south with a 25% deposit? Then you wait X many years in a job you dislike, to get another deposit, then you do the same thing again.How many X years does it take for you to be sick of your job? For you to want more? Yes, some people love their job and earn a lot of money, so a traditional BTL is great and suits them. Most people, are not that.Most people are starting with a limited cash pot, probably in the south, wondering how an earth to make the money work effectively and how to make more money. Property Investing has so many strategies, if you need help picking one - DM me.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

3 Key rules for making money in Property in 2021

A short, quickfire, but well-explained tour of some of the key things you should be doing (or not!) to ensure you make money in Property Investment.I've lost money, it's part of it sometimes, but I've learnt from those experiences and picked myself up, and got better. Property can be a forgiving game, however things can also seriously go wrong when developing property.Your due diligence before the deal is vital, and management during the refurb and then sale/refinance will all play big roles in your success.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Start with FLIPs not BTLs if you want to quit your job quicker

Property has so many factors to consider, if you have a small pot of money saved up to invest in property, then why not start with flips and double it, make it grow... and THEN buy a portfolio/BTLs? May get you out of your job quicker! So if you don't know where or how to start, let's talk about Flipping and why you as a Property Investor could be doing it, now. Okay, so I have a BTL portfolio and I do like holding them...Moving forwards, I'm not fussed. It's easy to have this vision that holding and building a portfolio forever is the best, capital appreciation, rent etc. It's all great in Property, and we can become very tunnel-visioned with it. Especially in the community when there is such a strong HOLD party.Selling for profit, whether it's a trade or a full refurb-sale, is my preferred strategy. Especially near home (hert/bedfordshire/london) where the yield is terrible, and it wouldn't make sense to keep it for me.About your host, Tej:Tej graduated from King's’ College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing.

Flipping Property for Profit - why we LOVE this strategy Ft. James Sahota

We like flips. Having a portfolio is great, and it creates financial 'freedom', but the chunks of money from flips are sweet. They can be reinvested into other things, to build your cash pot, or provide you with money to live on. It's not spoken about enough, especially at the start where your money is limited and you could multiply it significantly with a few flips, so, let's talk about FLIPPING! **FLIPPING PROPERTY FOR PROFIT** - 6/7 November 2021, London.Flipping property can be a very lucrative and ‘quicker’ way of generating cash or multiplying your current cash pot. Everyone rushes into BTLs and doing BRRs – which is a great approach, however it can take a long time to really feel the financial impact of it. A Flip can have you in/out in 6-8 months, generating anywhere from £15,000 to £150,000 and beyond, in profit. Imagine creating this money. It could allow you to quit your job early and go into Property full time, or give you stronger purchasing power for your BRR portfolio or pay for your lifestyle and/or family. It is possible, with the right work ethic, ambition and determination you can achieve this. However, you need the right knowledge and support to get there. Without that, there are many challenges and pitfalls when flipping, it’s a level above a BRR and can be less forgiving. Armed with the best process, steps and insight you will be miles ahead of the competition, feel confident in your decisions and increase your profit. The site visits are a core part of this programme, other ‘providers’ do not offer this. We have nothing to hide and you’ll join us in laughing (or crying!) at the progress of James’s latest London Flip project. A £400,000+ property he purchased at Auction in a very desirable area. You will be following the progress on 4 separate occasions (1 will be during the weekend) so you can see for yourself how an ugly property is transformed, and discover all the hidden horrors behind the walls! We are here to guide you through all the key steps, sharing all of our experience and best-practice. Tej’s latest flip is set to be a 44% ROI and James’s profit should be £60,000+. You can do the same, if not better.For more info, my Podcasts and the best Property Education you'll find...https://tejtalks.learnworlds.comhttps://www.tej-talks.comhttps://www.tejinvests.comMy Podcast is available on ALL Podcast Players, including Spotify, Apple, Google & many more.FOLLOW ME ON INSTA --- https://www.instagram.com/tej.talks/ Hosted on Acast.

Attention to detail and the stress of refurb management

Refurbs are so tricky, one area I think we all can agree we struggle with. An area that puts off a lot of people from even getting involved in property, let alone a full-scale refurbishment. I've done 16. Most were at a distance, with individual trades. The stress was REAL.Here I talk about something a guest on my site day said to me, which will help you plan your refurbs :) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How to manage Tenants in your HMOs, reduce voids and increase the profit with co:home

Topics:The evolution of the HMO and why quality is important.Why the customer experience is the most important aspect of letting properties. A lot of investors get hung up on the property and forget about the people living in the property.Why service trumps design.Why property management should be a given and how we can use tech to solve this problem easily so that our focus can be on the customer/tenant.There are very few good HMO agents out there - landlords are often put off investing in certain areas or full stop because of this problem.Better customer experience can deliver better returns and reduce stress and hassle on the part of the landlord.How we implement customer service in our new HMO management offering, co:home.Matt Baker, Dan Jackson and Leah Ziliak of co:home, approach property investing and management by putting the customer – the tenant - at heart of the business and encouraging the formation of coliving communities within HMOs. Coliving is an approach which leads to a better living experience and therefore longer tenancies, fewer issues and even market-beating rents. Matt Baker Co-founder of Scott Baker Properties, The HMO Platform, Head of Business Development at co:home, and #1 Best Selling author of Next Level Landlord. Matt is a specialist in Next Level HMO® and coliving developments. He is recognised in the property industry as one of the country’s leading HMO and coliving educators. Starting life as musician, Matt has always had a creative side, composing and performing as a pianist in numerous collaborations. He also grew and sold a successful musical education business. Matt aims to create meaningful relationships within his property development and training businesses. This customer-first approach has led to the successful creation of a £5 million property portfolio in his first 4 years of investment, using the majority of investor finance. Matt’s wider vision is to have a positive impact on shared living communities across the globe to create lifelong peace of mind and well-being for both tenant and landlord.  Leah Ziliak With over 10 years of experience working in the hospitality and entertainment industries, Leah Ziliak is passionate about connection and creating engaging environments. Leah is Head of Customer Experience at co:home and much of the work she does lies in the designing and planning.  While traveling full-time as a digital nomad, Leah came across the concept of coliving in Europe and fell in love with the communities she discovered. Using best practices from the world of tourism and hospitality, Leah founded a consultancy for coliving spaces, with a focus on creating consistently positive customer experiences. Leah recognisies that the goal of any coliving space isn’t about forcing connection, it’s about creating environments for it to happen. Dan Jackson In 2016, Dan left a 20-year career in the city to found  UrbanShared a tech driven coliving operator in South West London. With plans to take coliving nationwide, he realised he couldn’t do it alone, so when he was approached to co-found co:home, a nationwide start-up coliving operator he jumped at the opportunity. Dan now brings this experience into co:home leading on the management process. Dan has a background in technology and operations having worked in some of the UK’s largest financial institutions during a 15-year career. He is obsessed with customer experience and believes that the nascent coliving market is ready for a step change, where the customer comes first. Links: @cohome.lifewww.makemineacohome.com Matt: @clearlymattbakerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/clearlymattbaker/ Leah: @thecolivingconsultanthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/leahziliak/ Dan: @lovecolivinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielijackson/  Hosted on Acast.

The Guide to managing HMOs with Alex Babouris

What we cover:HMO Management (what goes into managing HMOs and get my plan of action / key tips)HMO Marketing (how they should present, capture and share content to rent rooms fast)HMO How To Rent (what tenants and landlords need to know / their key responsibilities) About Alex:"I became a HMO landlord at 20 years of age and self managed my own portfolio for 10 years while working as a marketing executive for construction companies. The reason I started self managing was because I was let down by other agents - calls not returned, maintenance not done and rent payments missed. At first, I thought it was just me, but I quickly realised that this was a systemic problem... It became clear that NO ONE was providing the specialist services I needed and the same was true for other investors and landlords I networked with. That’s why I built Babouris. The HMO Agency - a business where people of house shares can expect exceptional customer service, quality accommodation that’s well maintained, and proactive marketing to maintain high occupancy levels… and Babouris. The HMO Agency. was born. Since we launched we’ve grown into Cambridge’s recognised leaders for HMO lettings and management firm and the plan is to continue this strong growth. I continue to invest in my own HMOs and I’m lucky to work with many other great landlords to their market and manage their investments. "E  |  alex@babouris.co.ukW | www.babouris.co.ukMy Education Courses Hosted on Acast.

London or Manchester? How about both? Flat conversions with £147,000 profit and a £4m Portfolio with Simon Ruocco

About Simon:I’m born and bred in Manchester but after finishing university I decided to go and seek my fortune down south in London. My degree was in Business Finance so I started working in the banking industry. Although it was a great career with fantastic prospects I always felt something was missing. I had always had an interest in property and jumped at the opportunity to buy my first property. At the time I was living in a rented flat with 3 friends, we had mice, mouldy clothes and generally poor living conditions. I was in the position to buy a 4 bedroom house a stones throw from the Olympic Stadium – so on the same day I got on the property ladder I also became a landlord. I continued working in London until 2016 and during that time I bought and sold a handful of properties some of which I still own now. In 2016 (due to the birth of my first child) I made the decision to move back to Manchester, I left my job in London and decided to take a property much more seriously. Since then I’ve bought property in both London and Manchester. I have done a large number of BRRR projects, completed flat conversions and am at present working on a number of commercial opportunities. I’ve managed to create a great life through property.My biggest project to date has been the conversion of a property in London into a 2 flats. The property was valued at £600,000 I spent £150,000 on the refurb/fees etc and sold at £537K and £360K – Profit £147K. I’ve built my property from scratch, self-funded it and now have a portfolio just shy of £4,000,000.I’ve had numerous challenges. I did a development in London in 2017 which cost me £25,000. It involved a loft conversion and the loft space was just not big enough, it was a complete disaster. I’m forever chasing tradespeople and juggling different renovations. Before Christmas I had 3 renovations on at the same time. The biggest challenge I find however is timings of cash and making sure it’s in place when you need it.eLearning Hosted on Acast.

When do you quit your Job? - TPD S2.E8

Imagine spending this much time in a job, same commute, same people, same water-cooler ‘banter’ and routine. It’s very difficult to escape this, you become so conditioned to what you’re doing, having a manager and structure to govern you. Quitting at this stage requires careful planning, but also the confidence and bravery to reject this lifestyle. Tyna, did just that. What a success she’s made of it. We discuss the ups, downs and best practise for quitting your job. It’s not something to be taken lightly, especially if you have dependents, a mortgage, bills, cars etc. It’s a jump, but if you want freedom it has to be done. James and Tej talk about their experiences quitting their jobs/other businesses and the best bits of advice from those experiences.

How to spend £1m in Property and how it applies to every level with David Lenton

Who is David?Dropped out of university to become a professional online poker player. Had a solid amount of success.Transitioned from that into my first business in 2010 (Lenton Marketing Ltd), which I still run today, that focuses on search engine optimization and affiliate marketing in the online gaming space. Current clients include Bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and most other large domestic operators.Started investing seriously in stocks and shares (2015-2016) and have been building my portfolio ever since.Established Lenton Property Ltd in 2018 with the goal of deploying £1,000,000 into a diversified range of property investments. Currently that number sits at £972,000 in property that's 'complete' with another £350,000 worth of projects in development at present. Portfolio includes standard buy to let, student HMO and holiday lets / serviced accommodation. I've also currently got £155,000 in cash loaned out to developers as part of the overall property portfolio.Points of discussion would be...What yields are possible with unencumbered property.What should your yield target be.When or where you should consider breaking your own rules or targets (other potential upsides or hidden upsides).How easy or hard is it to deploy a large amount of capital quickly and how concerned should you be about opportunity cost when making investment decisions. How much to commit to one geographic location and what risk are you looking to circumvent here. How much diversification of strategy do you need and are certain strategies more 'risky' and should therefore feature less in your portfolio.Should you consider using leverage even when you have a large sum to invest and what are the main points of consideration.How much time is sensible to spend on or commit to investing a large sum of money into property and how that impacts what projects you should work on or investments you should make.What can you do to make your portfolio as efficient as possible over the long term.Why make this kind of investment, on such a large scale, in the first place.Is it wise to be 'all in' on property.I think it's also interesting to reflect back on how the process has actually played out, how the different parts of the portfolio yield and what kind of time commitments the portfolio requires. There are some serious lessons to learn as well in regards to how long projects take, what to expect from sources/developers, how to make judgements on the people you work with and how to avoid over reliance on individuals in order to protect yourself and your capital. The value I bring is having been through the process, having made mistakes with some investment properties, having made mistakes dealing with certain individuals (builders and developers included), having dealt with the decision making process behind each investment and the burden of deploying that amount of capital and having come out the other-side and what that looks like along with what I'd do differently with with the new experiences I've gained.

Why Tenant Experience is so important - TPD S2.E3

Tenants are customers. When was the last time you heard this? Probably never. They aren’t seen or treated like them, perhaps this stems from the government's pathetic treatment towards good landlords, this creates a divide between us. We personally feel it, from the laws that are against us… anyway, rant over. They pay the mortgage, and your profit. So, they are like any other customer in any business, except a little trickier as you can’t just get rid of them, and it’s not easy to deal with non-payers. This is why it’s vital you get it right at the start. If you create a great environment, then you will find great tenants who want to look after the space. Right? So, why don’t we think of the TX (Tenant Experience)? Jess is a Leader (get it) at this. It’s at the forefront of her investments, ethos and interior design. Tenants notice the hard work she puts in, and Investors work with her because her core values are important to her, and the bottom line. We discuss what you can do to find awesome tenants, how to vet them, and what design tricks you can use to do better.Follow me on IG, check my book out on Amazon, and Invest in your learning.

JVs: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Protecting yourself and your money.

'Understanding JV's. The good, the bad and the ugly'.The term 'joint venture' is often used without much - if any understanding of what it means, or might mean, legally. It can often be used as a 'sexy' way to draw in investors to part with their money. I'm completely flexible but have in mind a conversation geared around investors in property, what and how things can go wrong- with a smattering of high level examples from Alex' work acting for investors (including HNW individuals, international investors and lenders) in disputes nationally, and his views on how to avoid them ever happening. JV's can take the form of multiple legal wrappers and outcomes can range from being a great way to bring different people/experience/input to the table (time, money, knowledge); with positive outcomes ('the good'); where something unforeseen happens (no profit, only loss; market changes; wrong wrapper for tax etc) 'the bad'; or those always geared around ripping off the investor ('the ugly').'ac@helix-law.comAlex initially trained as a Barrister (non-practicing) before cross-qualifying as a specialist commercial and property litigation solicitor. Prior to becoming joint owner of Helix Law in 2013, he was Head of Litigation and one of the youngest partners in the region in a large firm based in Eastbourne. Comfortable and experienced litigating against large international City firms, he has successfully resolved complex commercial and property disputes for clients ranging from large international businesses and property investors to individual business people. Alex is an accredited commercial mediator and he is increasingly asked to advise on contracts, risk, dispute avoidance and exit strategies. He also continues to develop and innovate our products, services and funding arrangements with the aim of making specialist litigation services more transparent and accessible. Hosted on Acast.

305 tenants, 19 properties at £4.4m and how to graft with Property_Apprentice

"0% Eviction rate over 1000 students."Why does Craig love Student HMOs? How does he buy in London? What's his JV Structure? These are some of the topics we discussed in todays episode, if you know him on IG, you know he is a hard worker. No excuses! Craig Sullivan is an entrepreneur with true passion for property and is also known from his Instagram alias of 'Property Apprentice' which is notorious for early morning motivational sing-songs, videos and "BIG UP THE GRAFTERS!".He purchased his first property at auction at the age of just 20 and has developed his property portfolio in the South-East, leaving his corporate job and pursuing property full-time at the age of 28. He studied Business at degree level but after attending his placement year he decided not to go back and has worked in Sales roles for major media companies such as Disney, Warner Brothers and Viacom. During this time, he purchased his second property (again from auction) of which was documented by the BBC and appeared on their hit show ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ (YouTube link - HERE).After achieving great results and feedback from these investments, he soon came to realise that there was a gap in the market for high-end student properties and began to replicate his business model; buying below market value properties, adding value cost effectively, securing good tenants and refinancing to repeat the process.As his personal portfolio was growing, he was approached by local landlords to manage their properties too. Craig immediately agreed and after some cheap flyers and a DIY website, his Letting agency was born. That Letting agency is now the largest provider of Student Houses in Medway, overtaking High Street names and local businesses who have been in the market for 25+ years.Craig was also nominated for Business Excellence in the Kent Independent Traders Awards 2016 where he received runner up in ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and ‘Growth Business of the Year’ categories.He has appeared on multiple property Podcasts and is also a regular speaker on local TV Station KMTV, where he is asked to comment on recent property headlines and topics.

The last Property Duo episode [#19]

It's bye-bye from 'The Property Duo'.  It's our last episode of this series and boy was it emotional! But fear not, the Duo will be back in the form of a physical event coming soon!  This week's show may be topic-less, but we know there is (some) value in our ramblings! We talk about some crazy quoting from builders - how do builders quote projects, how did you get to the price mate? The cheapest price isn't always the best and may actually cause you problems later down the line.  Is it possible to project manage the build yourself and get this in on budget and time? The importance of putting together a trade team together and reviewing this, renew your trades team monthly. It's better to have 10 trade people per profession then 1 or 2.  We talk about the mental state and well being of both myself and Tej since lockdown started and how this has affected us both in different ways.  Revaluation and the surprise Tej got when his property was valued up higher than expected. Are valuations returning to normal, or was this just a one-off?  Have property education courses and trainers used lockdown to their advantage? Or has the lockdown got them hiding away too?  Don't forget we have a few spaces remaining on a "Live 5 days Experience" DM one of us to register your interest.  Lastly Thank you to everyone who has joined us over the last 20 weeks and made 'The Property Duo' a firm fixture in their diary. It's been great connecting with so many different people, and we look forward to seeing you soon, IF Series two returns.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Property Investor, Developer, Podcaster, Husband & Father!"I remember as a child waiting to board the plane, and I asked my mother, why are those people turning left?. Her reply, that's first-class, that's where all the rich people go, does that mean we are poor? No, we are Indian, and we don't waste money on bigger seats, better food, and more comfort.​I was eight years old at the time, and I remember it was a short time after my father died. Looking back now, I understand why she said what she did, for her, it was all about survival mode and making sure she took care of her immediate responsibilities, that being my sister and me. She didn't have money to waste on luxuries. For me, this was the start of a journey that would see me question everything and always wanting more from life, and I knew one thing for sure I wanted to be that person turning left onboarding a plane as this was what the successful, wealthy and rich did."

Building a £2.2m Portfolio of HMOs & BTLs whilst working Full Time, DBV talks!

With a background in scaling tech start-ups by building out and hiring teams globally, Lucy is the ‘Lion’ of the partnership and focuses on the business strategy and investor relations or ‘Front of House’ duties. Jules - the ‘Owl/ Monkey’ - has a background in financial crime within banking is focused on Business Operations & Financial Management within the business and loves all things numbers. Having grown a portfolio in the past 2+ years across 3 counties of both BTLs & HMOs. We changed our model just over a year ago to invest closer to home with the aim for capital growth as well as cashflow. This means we leave more equity in each deal than previous projects and refinance after a longer period of time than previously but each cashflow us £1600pcm. All our projects have a minimum of 30-50% ROI. We now partner with an NHS trust to provide shared housing for their international nurses which has proven to be Corona-proof in terms of demand and stability. In a rapidly-changing HMO market we strongly advocate servicing a tenant demand rather than just creating beautiful rooms hoping they’ll rent. Find your niche and establish your USP. We’ve experienced many challenges with HMO investing far from home whilst balancing busy jobs, as well choosing an area to fit your strategy and would be happy to chat through any investors struggling with this currently. INVEST WITH ME: TEJINVESTS.COM Hosted on Acast.

Civil rights, Uncle Eggbert and avoiding vulnerability [Prop Duo #10]

What a show we have for you this week. It’s been a tough week globally, and if you aren’t aware of what’s going on… get out from under your rock! We cover a topic that is hard for a lot of people to speak about, and we hope you understand, listen and seek education. Once you’ve heard us, and if you’re confused – watch 13th on Netflix, and drop us a message. UNCLE EGGBERT! We spoke about a rather suspicious character behaving strangely in the Property industry. Sounds normal right?  This isn’t any old Uncle, and you wouldn’t want to pop ‘round his for Tea. We cover the issues of vulnerability and entitlement, and how Eggbert used these to his advantage.  I hope this is an enlightening Podcast for you, and it makes you think. Even better, take positive action to speak up against injustice and defend yourself from being vulnerable.  Our FREE Spreadsheet is still available: Propertyduo.co.uk/hi Hosted on Acast.

How to pitch your Property Business, Cold vs. Warm approaches and Rejection [Property Duo #8]

“Oh hello, I’d like to pitch you my incredible idea, but I’m not going to listen to your challenges or ask what you’d like, I’m going to aimlessly pitch you my product, whilst upselling, and telling you the generic reasons why we are so great. Thanks!” How many times have you heard this total nonsense in your DMs, on people's statuses or even at networking events? So many people do not understand the basics of pitching their business, they rush, they don’t really care or totally lack passion. James and Tej have both run different business to Property before, where winning business was a key part of the role, and the success of the business.  We also both receive messages from people daily, where they fail to sell themselves or their business effectively, and have wasted their time. We want this to change, we share our views on Sales, Communication and Relationship building. There are DO’s and DON’Ts which we will take you through, whilst insulting each other and taking heckling from our live audience! (Thursday 10AM join us on Zoom: Hosted on Acast.

Are you neglecting your Relationship for your Business? [Property Duo #7]

We decided to discuss one topic in detail on this show, and it’s not related directly to property. We talked about Relationships, and specifically those with your partner, which is probably the most important one we’ll ever have.  We aren’t Dr Phil or Maury, but we certainly have good and bad experiences with partners, and creating a business at the same time. It’s vital you get the balance, lifestyle and communication right, amongst other things. It’s easy to put the business first, when actually it doesn’t matter as much as your partner. Remember who’s there for you through the good and bad, who’s holding your hand through the stress and who’s picking up the pieces when it falls apart. Doubt it’s a business partner. Welcome to our Deep Meaningful Conversation, where we go into some truths that we’ve never shared before. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dealing with haters and escaping a bad Auction purchase [Property Duo #6]

On today’s episode, we cover how you can escape an auction purchase, but this is not legal advice nor is it an encouragement to do this! James recently had a case where his Solicitor saved him from completing on what would have been nothing but thin air because the other side Solicitors were lying and being obstructive. Can you believe it? Solicitors lying!⠀⠀Fortunately, he was able to get back all his funds and fees, what a result. Pulling out of Auction purchases is not as easy as it sounds, you don’t just lose the deposit, you can face bigger issues which we cover.⠀ ⠀We spoke about HATERS or H8rs as you may refer to them as, what they are, why they appear and how to deal with them. You never know who may become one, or reveal themselves as a hater, but trust us you do not need these people in your life. Drop them, like a bad habit.⠀⠀We talk about our experiences, the dark side of social media and how to keep your mental health safe with these weirdos.⠀ Hosted on Acast.

Managing your Business & People in a Sustainable, Scalable and Secure way, PLUS why companies fail with Beverley Lockett

Who is Beverley:"I gave up my job in June 2018 to join my hubbie, David Lockett (already sold his accountancy practice and full time property) and our son William (full time property since Jan 2018). Together we are Red Door Homes, the only (we think) shared accommodation business accredited with the Green Mark in the UK. We have grown a lot in the last two years using my planning methodology. Let me explainI have nearly 20 years experience as a business lecturer specialising in change management and organisational behaviour. Since being in property and attending loads of networking events both myself and David have been dismayed by the lack of basic business knowledge in the sector and this lack of knowledge will be preventing some landlords from achieving their dreams of becoming financially independent. They simply replace one job with another.I am on a mission to improve the business knowledge of the sector. I am starting small - I am on the speaking circuit, post on Linkedin and FB regularly. I also coach property people to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their business."www.red-door-homes.co.ukTej TalksINVEST WITH ME! Hosted on Acast.

How NOT to flip a house

So I'm doing 3 flips at the moment, 2 are on the market and 1 is nearly finished on the refurb (terrible build team, don't get me started).In one of my flips, I've had to reduce the price to less than I wanted, wait longer than what Facebook would have you think (ha!) and have learnt lessons from the feedback from people.Flipping is so different to getting tenants in for rental, it's a very big commitment from people financially and emotionally, to buy a house. Not for us Property Investors though. That's not my target market, with a fully done up house though.In this video I talk through my lessons from my first flip, how you can avoid them and what I'll be doing on future buy to sell projects.• Plastering not wallpapering• Creating a wow factor• Checking end values with estate agents, not just sold prices• Doing SQM analysis of comparables (also vital for BTLs)• Focussing on the overall picture, not a few key swag placesHowever, this is one area and doesn't mean every flip will be like this, but lessons nonetheless.For more information, my Podcast, FREE eBooks (including 18 pages on starting your own Podcast), see below:https://youtu.be/UyNFuAknxp0https://www.tej-talks.comhttps://www.tejinvests.com = Investment opportunities Hosted on Acast.

My first month in SA...

STOP RIGHT THERE.... hit subscribe please.I have 1 SA unit. It's in a great location for it, whereas most of my Investments wouldn't work as an SA, and there's no companies to manage them.This is close to the town centre, the beach, an AONB, and a big train station. It's also in a student area, so I have lots of options for potential customers, which helps de-risk.I own this SA, so the mortgage payments are small and (hopefully) the profits will be bigger. I spent about £4,000 furnishing and buying linen, then the management company decided to rent linen... so if anyone wants to buy fresh ASDA stuff, let me know, it's BMV ;)I talk about WHY I have an SA, how it's passive, my first month's occupancy and profit, and what the rest of the year looks like. As always, I'm giving you the reality.Due to a shoddy build team, we're having issues with doors and leaky roofs, that was claimed to be fixed.... standard cowboys.For more information, my Podcast, FREE eBooks (including 18 pages on starting your own Podcast), see below:https://youtu.be/d0ifVUB54ughttps://www.tej-talks.comhttps://www.tejinvests.com Hosted on Acast.

Teacher to Property Investor, HMOs, Commercial conversions and structuring your day with Joanna

Joanne is different to a lot of my guests, and I think she will connect with you on a different level. Here's her story briefly:A teacher for years, hated it in the end, started investing with zero experience, we (me and husband) have 2 hmos and 4 single lets nowCurrently buying a Chinese takeaway that will become a 5 bed HMO and turning our own house into a 5 bed HMOWe manage the renovations ourselves and did the first one with our own hands!We're very close to our financial goal after doing it for nearly 4 years, we took equity out of our house to get going.I left work about 3 years ago and then plan is for my husband to leave this year.We are loving what property can do for us!!It's been a massive mind set change to do this but we are getting there!We also talk about:Bullshit builders, having to keep your eye on the ball and one step ahead all the time, I didn't in one case, never again!Being able to keep our eyes on the prize in the beginning when everything just felt so stressful and risky.I didn't read/listen to any fiction books for over a year, I knew I had to program my brain with very different info to what I was used to if we were going to succeed.Cutting out the noise and really focusing on one strategy brr, then HMO's, now bigger HMO's.Figuring out a way of working efficiently, how a schedule can actually give you loads more free time, I hated the idea of a timetable after finishing school, but who knew!? they actually work.We've had our fair share of troubles along the way, one thing we haven't had is dodgy tenants (I'm sure it will come) but we're very strict about our checks that we do.

What is 'Buy Refurbish Refinance' and why am I so boring?

Property Investing.People always ask me if I'll do something 'bigger' and 'more exciting' than single-lets, rented to families or couples etc. That's all subjective, because it may sound exciting and 'wow', but have you seen the challenges that come with big projects? Especially new builds, the risks too.I'm not afraid of them, but I like taking the path of most efficiency to the best result, simple as that. Now isn't the time for me to be doing these bigger projects, that cost more, risk more and take way longer than your standard BTLs.That's what matters, what's right for you in your Property Investment business. We're all different and have goals and ambitions of our own. In this video I talk about why I love little single lets, and how they are more than just 'the foundation of a good portfolio' and why you might want to get into them too!I also cover this and much more, in every detail as part of my Earn & Learn Programme. See www.tejinvests.com for more details.I also talk about the Buy Refurbish Refinance model, what exactly this means, how you implement it, what you need, the type of finance to use and my experience with it so far. Do no money left in deals exist? Hell yeah. Are they easy to find? Hell no.Please let me know in the comments how helpful this video was, and SUBSCRIBE to my channel too, lots more value headed your wayIf you have experience with this strategy or you have learnt about it already, then really, this may bore you!

5 Tips to grow your Portfolio

I recently presented this at PPN Knightsbridge that I co-host and it had a great response. Essentially, I've learnt over the past 12 months that there are many facets to a Property Investing Business, and that you are the captain of the ship. At the start you'll be rowing, manning the sails, steering, attacking (if ye' a pyrate!), repairing, recruiting new sailors, docking the ship....and much more. What this means is you're IN the business, which is normal in the first stages and when you're passionate about Property, it's what you do. By running around like this however, you do miss things. Things that are important to your business, and may have saved you time and money. I've been reflecting on my mistakes and successes in 2019 with my Properties, Refurbishments and Management. Oh, and also running a business and portfolio! I've collate the 5 top aspects which I know will be beneficial to you and your journey in Real Estate (such an American eh). Believe me, I wish I started some of these earlier, but I may have been on a different path and I'm grateful I can now share these with you, to help you. Please let me know how useful they were in the comments!Remember, your corner is coming. Just around the corner is the success and victory you're hustling for. I don't know how far it is, but when you turn it, you'll look back and see it was all worth it.If you want a passive investment in property, with none of this stress.

Managing 1,000 properties, Grade II Listed conversions at £15m GDV and cost-efficient Education with Daniel Gibson

Daniel studied as a surveyor at university, he was on a sport scholarship and worked part time so was able to buy his first house whilst at uni aged 18, he didn’t want to become chartered so when he graduated he set up my own surveying company but didn’t enjoy it and sold it fairly quickly.  Daniel took a job within a national letting agency to gain some experience within the property market, from there he went on to work in recruitment to develop his sales skills.  After a year being employed Daniel launched my own letting agency aged 22.  That company, Daniel Craig Residential, still runs today, they specialise in portfolio development and management.  Today they own over 300 properties and have over 1,000 properties on their books for other investors.Over the last three years Daniel has been involved in three grade 2 listed conversions with a total value of circa £15m.  One they have retained and currently let as a block for serviced accommodation in Durham city centre, the second project he sold my share in this year and the third project in Newcastle city centre he is currently working on with an investor.They deal with everything from low value housing benefit properties to purpose built student accommodation to luxury housing and cover just about every market in the UK.  This year has seen the biggest change to the industry, with the introduction of the tenant fee ban.  It’s hit landlords hard, they have a number of our properties managed by other agents in areas too far away for us to look after themselves so I have a very good understanding of what agents are doing in response to the fee ban.  The main response has been to increase a landlords fee to make up for the loss in money from the tenant.  They have taken a different approach and kept our fee structure the same, the result has been we have taken on a number of landlords who otherwise would have seen their profits diminish further after years of attacks on mortgage allowances and increased legislation.   Hosted on Acast.

Lessons from a Billionaire Entrepreneur

I had the pleasure of co-charing a Q&A session with David, at PPN Knightsbridge, our networking event (2nd Tuesday of every month, come along!).From this, I listened carefully and intently, I learnt a few things. I also paused for reflection about some of the insights he shared with us, sometimes we miss the simplest of things. He had us all fired up and ready to go, feeling inspired to think bigger, and to REthink our life strategy. For more info about the man I speak about in this podcast, please read below:David McCourt is the founder and Chairman of Granahan McCourt Capital and has been one of the most prominent investors and entrepreneurs in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industries for the past 30 years. He has founded or bought over 20 companies in nine countries and is widely recognised as a transformational force. The Economist describes him as possessing "impeccable credentials as a telecom revolutionary". McCourt’s debut book ‘Total Rethink: Why Entrepreneurs Should Act Like Revolutionaries’ launched in the Summer of 2019 and quickly became a best-seller with the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Amazon, striking a chord with young entrepreneurs looking to disrupt the status quo. He is an Emmy award-winning producer who has collaborated with A-list talent including Angelina Jolie, Michael Douglas, Meg Ryan and Spike Lee.In addition to receiving the ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ award from Ernst and Young LLP and the Harvard Business School Club of New York, he received the 2014 Award for Outstanding Alumni Entrepreneur from Georgetown University. McCourt was the first Resident Economist appointed by the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism and became the inaugural Executive in Residence for Entrepreneurial Economics and Innovation at Georgetown University. McCourt has been recognised by the White House for extraordinary accomplishments from a private sector business. The American-Irish Historical Society presented him with its Gold Medal, an award previously bestowed on Ronald Reagan, Mary Higgins Clark and Bono. In 2018, McCourt was awarded The Science Foundation Ireland medal for ‘outstanding contribution to technology and innovation’.  About Total RethinkIn business, and in life, everything is changing fast, apart from how we behave. Our ways of thinking and making decisions have changed little since we lived in agricultural and industrial societies, but the problems we now need to solve are entirely different. It requires a revolution in thinking and behaviour to meet the challenges that now face us and avoid disaster we need to totally rethink the model. Part business biography, part business blueprint, Total Rethink explains how this can be done. Successful telecoms entrepreneur David McCourt lays out the reality of the dangerous situation we find ourselves in and suggests solutions which will empower everyone, including business people, politicians, diplomats, and teachers, to repair the damage we have already done, and prepare for the dramatic changes to come.  Reference linkswww.davidmccourt.comwww.granahanmccourt.com/david-c-mccourt/Twitter: @DCMcCourtInstagram: @dcmccourtLinkedIn: David McCourt Hosted on Acast.

(500k from other investors alone)- Having the right content to present to investors on why they should be a part of a bigger picture while also getting a return- Scaling up due to wanting to help others achieve a return on their money and take property seriously- Small portfolio of successful residential projects prior to taking the investment management service seriously so already had a track records simple refurbs done and achieved.- Finally finding the solution to all money in all money out- Finding a niche or gap to do a different type of project away from the norm to still achieve good numbers- Latest Water Tower (iconic building in Newark, now to be 13 brand new apartments with tower remaining) Set to be filmed on bbc1 homes under the hammer.Story:- Business Management background and 1st class degree specialising in Marketing- Corporate full time Jigsaw24 (Nottingham & london) until Feb 2017 doing Marketing- 4 refurbs 2013 - 2016 around £22k refurb level (1 at £5k)- Approached business partner in 2015 to start doing larger simple refurbs where needed input of e.g circa £70k as was only 22 at the time.Challenges:- Challenge is consistently being able to go again project after project while working full time. As you find yourself busy in a corporate job on a daily basis but also the fact a proportion of money has to be left in a deal. E.g if the inout was £70,000 then maybe only £45/£50k was refinanced. I was in a good paid job but not triple figures meaning it still took time for the money left in to be remade so I could go again.- Scaling projects up from simple refurbs to heavy refurbs to developments- CV being key when looking to delve into larger developments so don’t be scared to work for free (advice to newbies)- Jumping into a rebuild as the first heavy refurb project- Sustaining a full time Investment management company to replace corporate income Hosted on Acast.

#StopPonzisInProperty - Matt Siddell talks about staying safe when Investing

Matt started a campaign to raise awareness amongst our social media contacts of the pitfalls / traps set out by the unscrupulous players that pervade the industry, those that borrow money they cannot repay and those that offer returns that do not reflect the risks.He will share short pieces of advice and some of the surprising ways in which developers have parted investors with their money.These loans make it harder for the good people to do good business but also these operators are hurting people and their families and we must stand up to them and educate our friends and families.Some background info on Matt:An entrepreneur at heart with an economics degree from the University of Manchester, Matthew established Kin in 2001 after spending three years in financial services. Matching heirs to unclaimed inheritances, Matthew grew his first business to a team of 45 and traced heirs to estates exceeding £100 million in value.Seven years later, and with the world of property beckoning, Matthew established Opulen in 2011. While building a portfolio in Reading, he also broke ground on the London market, managing projects for clients and himself with works that included refurbishment, basements, extensions, loft conversions and cinemas in a mix of Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Grade II listed properties.In 2015, Matthew started PPN Knightsbridge at the Royal Thames Yacht Club, which became the flagship event of the Progressive Property Network franchise and inspired others to follow suit.With a wave of momentum behind him, Matthew established Qandor, where his ambition is clear: to create an environment where developers, investors and business owners regularly and exclusively interact with the aim of collaborating on existing and new projects upwards of £1m in value.

#TejTips - Public Speaking

I love Public Speaking. I share my tips in this Podcast. 10, 100 or 1000 people — I’m comfortable. That must be strange to read, that someone is ‘comfortable’ speaking in front of many others, on stage, in the limelight. Most people I speak to, absolutely hate it. They get so nervous, they can’t focus and they are very anxious. It seems to be universally feared, and I can see why.You’re about to walk out, sweating, taking shallow breaths, running every terrible scenario that may occur through your head. What if a Viking warrior breaks through riding a T-Rex, what if I get heckled, what if no one laughs at my jokes that my mum said were funny? Clearly, only the first one is actually rational. #JustKidding[...]Here’s a few of my simple practical tips:Pre-talkMake sure you’ve drank enough waterEat well on the day and beforeKeep your hands apart and open up your body languageSmile to yourself, wait for the hormone release, you’ll be surprisedDon’t sit too much, stay limberCough/clear your throatWear comfy clothesDuringStand tall, good posture, roll shoulders backDrink waterGestureSmilePause…….. to emphasise….. key pointsGive people eye contactPost talkCelebrate and network!When it comes to nerves — slow and control your breath, focus your mind on each and every breath, with real concentration. You’ll realise how calm you now are.Follow me on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn for more.READ MORE HERE Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tej is an all round beast and someone I’m now very glad to have as a friend. (Podcast on YouTube / iTunes / Spotify, search ‘House of Elevation’).You may be sick of my posts on mediocrity and societal norms etc. It’s very very simple. It’s all relative. It’s all about perspective. As an immigrant I realise it is nothing but a true true blessing to have been raised in the UK with endless opportunities. I have an obsession with how my time is used mentally, physically and spiritually. It breaks my heart when I see people (most of society) just getting by for the sake of getting by and seeking constant escapisms rather than facing and tackling reality to shape a life they’ve always dreamed of."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSZAV-RaghY Hosted on Acast.

What was your first auction like?I share my tips from my first one where I was aiming to buy 1-7 properties, I ended up with 0. I was £500 away from one! so close, but I restrained myself as I set max bids already.This was meant to be an episode about my journey too, but the auction tips took enough time, so I left it here. I hope these help. Have you purchased from auction before? Want a Tej Talks T shirt? www.tej-talks.com/merchandise Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

83 Rental units over 3 years, £1 million investment raised, a 22 bed HMO and 'Project96' with Matt & Niall

Have I got a treat for you. I first saw Niall and Matt in an episode of YPN magazine, their projects looked awesome and I folded the page, and just had to get them on the show! After reading the article and understanding their approach, visiting their website (which is lovely) and further reading about them, I think you'll really like their approach.Property allowed them to quit their full time jobs in 2 years, now this is realistic given how long things take (bloody conveyancing!) but there's no reason you can't do it quicker, or slower.Now they are working on a BIG 22 bed HMO that has an end value of at east £1.1 million. The profit on this is HUGE too. Yes, it's a HMO! It's not always 5 bed residential type stuff, you can take this strategy to the limit.They achieve £100 per month more in one of their HMOs than the market average. That's £1,200 extra PER ROOM, PER YEAR. What are you missing out on ?Find this out, and how to find investors and attract them, in this episode.MENTION TEJTALKS AND GET 10% OFF THEIR 'Next Level HMO Training day: Cost £250 (inc VAT), so it's £225 for you.Their Mastermind is free, so contact them to sign up!Please like, review, follow and share.

Flying Jets, 21 BTLs, 7 HMOs, 3SAs, £17k a month passive income and buying properties that others run from, Richard Liddle tells all. [PLUS, A COMPETITION TO WIN A SKYDIVE!]

Richard has been a pilot, trainer and skydive instructor for the last 20+ years, he loves his job. Property isn't about giving him the freedom to quit it, it's giving him the CHOICE. The choice to do whatever he wants, to set up his very noble charity (discussed near the end) to help Veterans in setting up their own businesses and learning important skills to succeed.His experience over many years has made him a smart investor, one who likes to be contrarian. He bought a property at Auction that had Knotweed in, out of 40 people viewing it, only 2 bid on it. He won, just over £100k Purchase Price. He spent about £100k on it, and then had it revalued at £350,000! Pulling out all his money and netting a very nice monthly figure. all in all, his portfolio brings in £17,230 (He underestimated this in the audio) a month, PROFIT. Would you be happy with that?The day after we recorded, Rich won a bid on an 8000 Sq ft commercial which he will convert to 12 apartments, sell half and keep half for SA.We also discuss Deal Sourcers (always a hot topic), 'mentorship' Vs. 'Education' and why a lot of providers just aren't up to scratch, and his goals for the next few years.Richard Liddle@Rich.Liddle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I talk mindset, property, dancing and social media, Rob interviews ME! (The Property Nomads Podcast)

"We are pleased to welcome Tej Singh, of the Tej Talks Podcast in this week’s episode of The Property Nomads Podcast. Rob hosts our guest to find out all about his career journey, his passions, and property.Tej has years of experience in recruitment and marketing, developing skills and knowledge that can be helpful to other property investors. Discover also, how stoicism, meditation and mindfulness helped him to be where he is right now. Through his podcast, Tej likes to showcase the underdogs’ stories to make the learning experience for aspiring property investors relatable and effortless.KEY TAKEAWAYSTej’s interest and how they have helped with his journey. Tej is a dancer, a recruitment specialist, a marketing & branding expert, and now a property investor. The first two interested have taught him a lot that it is now greatly helping him in standing out in the property field. The most important things he has learned is being able to continue no matter what adversity comes your way, and when you’re passionate about something, you push yourself.Everything else will follow when you find your real passion. Once you’ve found your passion and locked it in, you will be motivated to work hard, plan well, keep moving and achieving. Once you have found it, nothing can stop you.Have a positive mindset when faced with failures, rejections, and loss. Everyone experiences failure, rejection and loss. The only thing that you can do is to learn from them, be stronger from them, and hope for the best results.Be open-minded and not cynical about possible opportunities. When he attended the Progressive Property Masterclass, he was advised by Aren Deu to remain open-minded and not cynical. Tej followed suit and do so with full optimism.Tej Talks is all about diversity. He want to invite people in the industry from all different backgrounds and cultures. Tej thinks that learning is best done when it’s from someone who is, aside from being knowledgeable, also relatable.Seeing the end goal might be a good motivation for some, but for others, it might crush their hopes of achieving their dreams. The best way to look at it is to observe, listen, and learn about their journey instead. This is more realistic, more grounded, and invites more careful planning. For example, if you want to dive into the world of property, podcasts are a gateway to do so. The genuineness that shines through when people share their stories, experiences, and learnings is not only motivating, but also a source of knowledge.Find people that you can connect with who can help you, who can collaborate with, and who you can give value to also.BEST MOMENTS “Staying strong and stoic in the face of adversity is number one.”"The more you sweat in practice, the more you bleed in battle.”“When you find that passion, you won’t necessarily worry about the time you put in. When you find that passion, you’ll be able to do whatever that is for however long it is and face whatever hardships because you love it.”“People 100% get caught up in the little details. I [Tej] say step back, take a deep breath, go for a walk, and focus on the big picture.”“Have that belief in yourself that cannot be destroyed… that self-belief that you are going to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve.”“We all have value in something to offer.” Hosted on Acast.

[EXTRA] Thoughts on Mindset, Action and Education - answering questions from a listener

A fan of the show asked me if I could answer some questions for his dissertation, I of course said yes! Instead of just sending my answers to him, I thought it would be even better if I recorded them for you all to listen to. Some of these will make you think and others will be straightforward answers, always something to learn.A lot cooler than my dissertation questions, which was about the effects of Chromium on human health and biology...I speak about mindset, education courses, taking action, being an entrepreneur, what I struggle with and what I think it takes to be successful.Thanks Ash Palmer for inspiring this content!

Building a £1.5m portfolio in 2 years, £10,000 a month passive income, Social Housing contracts, and blind-buying a brothel at auction with Saif Derzi

Saif has built up a big portfolio in a short space of time. His most interesting property was an old brothel, which legally had no access to it, inevitably this scared off most investors as you wouldn't want to buy something you couldn't see - who knows what danger is lurking inside there! Saif wasn't afraid, and bought it. When he viewed it, there weren't many unexpected horrors, apart from a hole in the floor and all the old needles... He converted it into a lovely space that now is leased by a Social/Housing Association, that pay guaranteed rent for a certain period of years, all management and repairs are covered by them. As easy as that right? We also discuss goal setting, and how you can break your long-term goals down into weekly activities that will contribute to the success of it and why it's important to look at the bigger picture at the same time. Saif doesn't stop - the week before this Podcast is released, he had 3 Commercial Conversions exchanged and in legals. He's also giving away 2 30 min FREE mentoring phone calls - all you have to do is follow us both on Instagram, leave a review for the TejTalks Podcast on iTunes/Podcast app or the Facebook page, let me know and I'll enter you in the competition.

Andy Graham from Smart Property talks student HMOs, teamwork and insight from 10 years in Property

What does the future of HMO's look like? Andy writes about this lots on his Facebook and for the YPN Magazine, he knows his stuff. We talk about his story over the last 10 years in Property, from his first deal after University to how he finds and maintains builders. Actually, on that point he was very transparent and said 'we don't always get it right'. Which is always refreshing to hear, it's tough finding a solid refurbishment team for anyone of any experience level. Andy shares his tips.You may think because he has a 'property business' with an office, staff and brand, that investors come easier than the 1-man-band property investors. WRONG says Andy! Investors always go for the person, not the shiny company that is behind them. Be yourself, honest and act with integrity.Should you invest in Student properties? What has property allowed Andy to do in life? How did a Cancer diagnoses effect his life and mindset? Listen to find out! www.smartproperty.co.ukwww.tej-talks.com/property Hosted on Acast.

Social Media Mondays #1: Branding; what it means, how to create yours & why you need one in 2019

Rightio, it's another Monday meaning another Tej Talks special series, a 4 part, just like the last #MindfullMonday. This time we are talking about branding, specifically personal branding and what this means.In this episode I talk about the meaning of a brand, examples of brands that you may recognise and why it's important to have one in Property and really, in any Business. I also talk about how you can build a brand, down to the emojis you use the the colour people associate you with. Can you guess what my colour is?? SURPRISE, it's yellow. Do you stand out in comparison to your network?I then talk about some daily things you can do, to prepare yourself to build and maintain a brand. Knowing your why and having consistency is KEY. You can't do social media and branding once a month and expect results, just like cardio once a month isn't going to do much.My free Branding eBook is here: FREE EBOOK Hosted on Acast.

£7,000+ a month from a portfolio you don't even own? Pete Baker talks R2R; the challenges, realities and rewards

Pete Baker has 11 R2R HMOs in his Portfolio right now. These have been acquired over 1.5 years, and it can take 6 months to make a profit from a single R2R. It's not an insta-money-making-scheme like sometimes it's thought of. It can get you out of work, for sure, but it will take longer and cost more than you think.Be prepared, it's a business like no other. Pete worked in Sales for a long time, before realising his real passion and also that he is unmanageble because he needs to be doing his own thing. He partnered with his Manager, no less! Him & Ash are in business together (BakerWalia) and they are aiming to double their R2R portfolio by July 2019. Quite a goal right?They don't own these properties and spend between £2-4k per one on the refurb etc, long-term relationships and high quality are priorities for them - they may spend extra, but it's all about delivering exceptional products and a brand.He is articulate and conveys the challenges and benefits of following this strategy.www.tej-talks.com/property https://bakerwalia.co.uk/downloads < His FREE R2R Deal Analyzer is here.Please leave a review for TejTalks!

Jack built a Rent2Rent portfolio to £12,000 a month PROFIT, almost No Money Down!

If you have little money to invest in Property then why aren't you considering Rent2Rent? This strategy allows you to not own a property, therefore negating the need for a big 25% deposit and all the lengthy processes that come with purchasing. If Cash is King then R2R is not to be disregarded. Jack built a portfolio of 14 HMOs and a large number of SA units over a 3 year period, yes 3 years. this isn't an overnight success, this took time, determination and many mistakes. I covered these mistakes in detail, as they are cautionary tales and lessons for us all. First a block of flats in hasting that went tremendously well, getting all his money back out... plus more! Now that's a pretty cracking way to start your career in property, right? Unfortunately Jack's second block of flats didn't go so well, and still gives him grief! How does he build relationships with Estate and Lettings Agents? How does he show that he is a real force in his area and market? What is an assisted sale? Can you make money off Property in London?

Just DEU it. Aren talks about dodgy builders, mindset and positive impact

Aren is an all-round good guy, his passion for helping others is so real and noticeable, it encourages you to want to join him on his journey. That sounds like he's a spiritual monk or someone floating along without purpose. He has purpose, he is clear on it and it's been a long and at times arduous journey into property, with a few career changes before. Perhaps you can relate? Maybe you're still finding your purpose? It's not easy, so Aren and I discuss mindset, skills and what it takes to succeed in property. We are good friends, so there's a bit of banter thrown in too. He's a Youtube rising star too, check him out "Channel Your Strength". I hope this episode gives you an insight into the real person behind the title of 'Property Investor'. Hosted on Acast.
