Finding great property deals is the cornerstone of any property investor's journey. As Simon explains in this week's show, nurturing and developing this skill is the most important tool you can have in your investing toolkit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Deal sourcers can find deals for you, and charge somewhere around £3000 to £5000 per deal, depending on the size and scale. When you become good at finding deals yourself, you'll find that there are more than you can possibly take on single-handedly. Selling deals on in this case is a great thing to do. The sign of a great deal is one that you can buy below market value, and get an instant equity on day one. This means you can be making money from day one. Always consider that sometimes the asking price you see has already been discounted. Don't miss out because you think you deserve more off the price. You can better ascertain if you know you area well. BEST MOMENTS 'Paying someone else to find deals for you is better than finding no deals at all' 'I believe that it's best to educate yourself' 'Once you know how to do it, it's not that difficult' 'When you see a good deal, you need to move quickly!'

Property Magic Podcast

The No 1 Most Important Skill You Need To Be A Successful Property Investor

This week, Simon shares some very specialist information that if applicable to you, could result in your receiving a huge payment back from HMRC. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tactics and strategies that you know can make you money, but the strategies you don't yet know are losing your money. Always arm yourself with the best knowledge available. If you have HMOs, holiday lets, serviced accommodation or any type of commercial property, then you could well receive money back from the taxman. If your property qualifies, you can received a return on the purchase price and refurbishment costs to offset against your tax. This is done through capital allowance. Only the legal owner of the property can claim back capital allowance. If the property is owned by a company, then it is this company who can offset the capital allowance against its corporation tax. BEST MOMENTS 'Listen carefully as this could put a whole load of extra money back into your pocket' 'You don't know what you don't know' 'You could get as much as £70,000 as a capital allowance' 'Capital allowances can only be claimed once in the lifetime of a property' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out if you can claim a Capital Allowance here: www.CapitalAllowanceClaim.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Does The Taxman Have A Check With Your Name On It?

Simon discusses serviced accommodation, explaining how to get the most out of this incredible strategy, and make it work for you! KEY TAKEAWAYS Since the lockdown ended in the UK, many have taken the opportunity to holiday at home and see the delights we have to offer here, rather than going abroad. This has meant a sharp rise in popularity when it comes to serviced accommodation - a trend that is expected to continue. Serviced accommodation can be run along with a VA to handle bookings and admin, and a team on the ground to provide the physical services such as cleaning. There is a serviced market and a tourist market for serviced accommodation. The key is to catch both of those to maximise profitability. Always ensure that your mortgage provider is in agreement when it comes to your using the property as a serviced accommodation. You could be at risk of breaking your terms and conditions. BEST MOMENTS 'This is an incredibly powerful strategy that you should consider as part of a balanced portfolio' 'It's a home from home' 'Thinking like a hotel is a very good way to see your serviced accommodation' 'The type of client you attract depends on the kinds of property you use' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Serviced Accommodation Strategy Explained

This week, Simon explores the investor mindset vs homeowner thinking, and why it is so crucial to differentiate between the two if you are planning to build a successful property investing journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial education is something we have to gain for ourselves, when in reality, it should be a part of the education system. Homeowners often believe that we can only have one mortgage at a time. They also believe that mortgages are based on income. Investment mortgages are based on different data. Not all mortgages need to be repayment mortgages. Investors should aim for interest-only mortgages. Also, age is not a barrier as the payments are being met by your tenants. Inheritance tax must always be considered when building a portfolio of unencumbered properties. Your estate will be forced to pay a huge amount to the tax man if they wish to assume ownership. BEST MOMENTS 'I want to give you the opportunity to challenge your own thinking' 'It's a tragedy that our schools don't prepare our kids for modern life' 'We need to think about why we're investing and also how we're investing' 'You've got to start thinking like an investor and not a homeowner' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Investor Mindset vs Homeowner Thinking

In this week's episode, Simon talks to you about the rent-to-rent strategy, and shares a step-by-step process that you can use in order to find more opportunities today! KEY TAKEAWAYS Rent-to-rent can generate cash in a mere couple of weeks, doesn't require much capital up front, and also a great way to test out new strategies that may work for you. Rent-to-rent is not sub-letting (the practice of renting a property and then re-renting it). This is a structured agreement in which you can issue leases. Rent-to-rent is not a passive strategy. You will be actively managing the property. As time goes on you can employ teams to do this for you. BEST MOMENTS 'Rent-to-rent is a great strategy for new investors and also experienced ones!'

The Fastest Way To Gain Extra Cashflow In Your Property Business

This week, Simon discusses that all-important factor in your property investing journey - the power team that enables you to often take the best advantage of prospective deals, and how you can get the best out of them. KEY TAKEAWAYS The best kinds of people to include in your power team are those involved in property investment themselves, which will give them a greater understanding of what you are trying to achieve. When choosing a mortgage broker, make sure to ask which area they specialise in. It's best to look for a broker with the relevant experience, and the key skills you need. Never discount your knowledge base. If you apply yourself and learn all about different strategies, then it is entirely possible that you will know more than some solicitors or brokers.

Getting The Most Out Of Your Power Team

In this week's show, Simon gives you the invaluable answers to the six most frequently asked questions about property investing - arming you with the knowledge you need to succeed!   KEY TAKEAWAYS When looking for areas in which to invest, make sure to look for places where the population is increasing faster than other areas. Traditional property investing means that you'll be able to get a 75% mortgage on a property. This means you'll need to find the other 25% yourself, plus costs and fees, normally around 5%. However, there are many creative ways of investing with little to no money up front. The best strategy when it comes to finding great deals, is always to look for motivated sellers - people for whom speed and certainty is more important than the amount of money they get. When you're approaching investors, you need to adjust your perspective. You're not asking them for money - you are offering them a chance to make   BEST MOMENTS 'You should invest where you live or where you work' 'Sometimes people have a little pot of money and they don't know if it'll be enough or not' 'There are many ways of creatively investing' 'You need to get the specialist knowledge and then take action!'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk    ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

The Six Most Frequently Asked Questions About Property Investing

It's a very special milestone this week as Simon presents his 100th episode of the Property Magic podcast! In this show, Simon will share with you his 26 top tips to improving your property investing journey, as well your life in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS Make sure you value your time. Time is your most valuable asset. We can always make more money, but we can't conjure up more time. Treasure it. Investing in ourselves is the most valuable investment we can make. We cannot hope to grow and find success if we don't take the time to develop. Set yourself some goals. Work out what you want to achieve and WRITE IT DOWN. If we put a stake in the ground, it clarifies our aims in business and life. Taking advantage of someone never works out in the end. Look for the win-win situation every time. Remember, it's always best to build a bridge rather than burn one. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the kind of list I would give myself if I was starting again' 'Poor people spend their time to save money. Rich people spend money to save time' 'Invest in yourself and never stop learning' 'The more value you can add in society, the more valuable you become'  Believe in yourself!'

26 Tips To Help You With Your Property Investing

Most property investors simply look around, copy the strategies being used by everyone else, and then wonder why they can't find great property deals. As Simon explains in this week's show, it might be time to change the way we approach our own property investment plans... KEY TAKEAWAYS Look for sellers, not for property. Most sellers are not motivated. They have a single property and are looking to maximise their profit. We need to look for the smaller subset of sellers who are open to deals. Never stop marketing and advertising. Many stop advertising during certain periods of the year, but this is the very reason you should be doing it during those times. Your voice will be amplified. Don't try to buy property in the room at property auctions. Sometimes there are bargains to be had, but auctions are often overcrowded, and you'll end up paying more for a property than you would if the sale was conducted outside. A seller usually has a problem that they need solving. If we help enough people to get what they want, you'll get what you want. BEST MOMENTS 'To find really good deals, you need to think differently and act differently from every other investor' 'We need to look for motivated sellers and then work out if the property is something we want to take on or not' 'Instead of just thinking about you, think about the agent...' 'Try and help the seller of the property solve their problem, instead of selling to them' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

Observe The Masses And Do The Opposite

In the second part of this special conversation, Simon discusses the "Property Investor Catch-22" situation, with a particular focus upon the five different principles of creative finance. KEY TAKEAWAYS If a deal is good enough, then there will always be at least one of the five principles of creative finance, that can be applied to the situation in order to see it through. Joint venture with a cash investor is a common strategy. Many confuse this is as some 50/50 investment split, but your finding of the deal is sufficient as your part of the bargain. A private loan can work better for you in some circumstances, as the lender gets a fixed return instead of a share in future profits. Joint ventures can be carried out with the owner of the property. This means there is no stamp duty to pay, and you work together to improve the value of the property. When it is then re-sold, you take a share in the value's increase. BEST MOMENTS 'You don't need to use any of your own money to invest' 'When you know how to find great property deals, then you don't need to use your own money' 'You need to use the correct tool at the right time to make creative finance work' 'We must look at this as an opportunity that we're giving to other people' VALUABLE RESOURCES To learn more about creative finance watch the online video training by Simon Zutshi for free by registering here: www.CreativeFinanceTraining.co.uk Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.

The Property Investor Catch-22: Part 2

In this week's show, Simon explains the "Property Investor Catch-22" situation, and how you can make sure you are able to pull yourself out of it... KEY TAKEAWAYS If you invest in property in the traditional way, at some point everyone runs out of their own money, and so they stop investing. If we find great deals, there are ways of funding these deals without using any of your own money. It's case of adjusting our mind-set. If you are not putting money into the deal, then you must be putting something else into it instead. This could be the specialist knowledge you have, your time, or your creativity. Add value!

The Property Investor Catch-22: Part 1

This week, Simon expands upon the ways in which we can accelerate our property success, by thinking big when it comes to the ways in which we invest, and how a goal without a plan is merely a dream waiting to happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS Thinking small is dangerous. Never in history has any great achievement occurred as a result of thinking small. Stop thinking about your own personal resources. You need to think far bigger. The most invaluable resource you have is your own mind. There is plenty of money available in the world. There are plenty of people with time available to help you. The only thing holding you back is you! You are connected to far more people than you may believe. Remember, that it is your network that can help you achieve anything you want to achieve. BEST MOMENTS 'Most people, including myself, are sometimes guilty of thinking small' 'All great achievements have come about by people daring to dream big' 'A goal without a plan is just a dream' 'It's time to get your "but" out of the way' VALUABLE RESOURCES Come and book your place at the next virtual national pin meeting.

KEY TAKEAWAYS To be successful in investing in property, you will need specialist knowledge. It will give you a competitive advantage and the ability to spot deals that others might miss. Once you find a deal, you need to have all your funding ready to go. You need to able to move swiftly, so start putting your ducks in a row as soon as possible. Find a strategy that serves you well, and focus on it. FOCUS stands for Follow One Course Until Successful - but also make sure your toolbox is diversified enough for you to be able to pivot.

5 Steps To Accelerate Your Property Success

In this week's show, Simon talks you through his four-step process for stacking property deals, and how by following this you can greatly energise your property investing plans. KEY TAKEAWAYS Only buy in an area with strong rental demand, and accurately assess whether or not it's a viable property in terms of rental income, and how much you can hope to gain from it. Work out how much money you'll need in order to acquire the property. Remember that you don't always have to put money down, and can use strategies such as PLOs. Only buy a property that will give you a cashflow. There must be profit left over every month. Everything you buy must make money straight away. Look at the potential return on investment for the property. We need to make sure that any money we put into a deal is working effectively on our behalf. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to understand how much rental income you can achieve' 'For every property you're buying in a traditional way, assume you'll need about 30% of the purchase price upfront' 'If a property isn't making you a cashflow, I wouldn't buy it!' 'You need to factor in that cost and then add in the return that you'd like to make' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.
