  • Can UK Property Still Make You Rich In 2024?

    Can UK Property Still Make You Rich In 2024?
    2024/06/04

    In this mini episode, property investor and developer Allan Harding discusses the potential of UK property to make individuals rich in 2024. Allan talks about the historical success of property investments and provides insights into the strategies and considerations for building wealth through property. Allan also highlights the importance of long-term asset holding and the need for additional income sources to support property investments.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • UK property investment has significantly contributed to individual wealth, particularly among the UK's richest. Many wealthy individuals have amassed fortunes through property assets, as seen in the Sunday Times Rich List. Allan notes that some have built generational wealth through long-term property investments, dating back to the 1800s, benefiting from substantial capital appreciation. This underscores the importance of strategic, long-term property investment in wealth accumulation.
    • Key strategies for maximising UK property investment returns include holding assets to benefit from value increases, renting properties for cash flow, and reinvesting profits into new projects. Allan Harding suggests various approaches, such as buy-to-let, HMOs, converting buildings for Airbnb, and integrating property assets with a business to enhance cash flow and diversification.
    • Allan suggests that becoming rich through UK property investments by the end of 2024 is unrealistic. He highlights that while property can generate wealth, achieving multimillionaire status quickly is unlikely. Harding emphasises a long-term approach, requiring patience as significant wealth accumulation may take years or generations, though he's open to being proven wrong.
    • Allan recommends learning about property investment by understanding the market, buying assets at the right time, and renting effectively. He advises against spending heavily on education, suggesting learning through experience and acknowledging mistakes as valuable lessons. Allan highlights free resources like YouTube for guidance on property acquisition, renting, and financing, advocating a practical, hands-on approach.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I still think that property can help you to get rich, but I would never, ever suggest that you go and do property on its own."

    "The longer you hold that asset, the more the value will increase."

    "You will make mistakes, but you’ll never make them again."

    "You need to rent it out. Take that cash flow, reinvest it into another project, into another project, into another project."

    "If you started tomorrow, is it gonna make you rich in 2024? That depends on your definition of rich."

    Harv Fairburn is a fitness coach tailored towards business people, helping them live with the energy, purpose, and confidence they want so that they can perform better in their business. Harv joins host Allan Harding to share his story and talk about the pair's fitness journeys and how impactful an active lifestyle can be on your mental health, life, and business goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you are trying to operate your business at a hundred miles per hour you will run yourself into the ground eventually. This is why having the ability to pull back from it all and have that clarity of thought will allow you to see things from a different angle. You will enjoy the fruits of your labour so much more if you are happy in yourself. There’s more to life than just money and if you don’t stop chasing it, then you won’t have the time to actually relax and enjoy a little bit of what you’ve achieved. Fitness is a potent ally against mental health issues. Exercise releases endorphins, easing stress and anxiety. It enhances sleep, boosts self-esteem, and improves cognitive function. Physical activity stimulates serotonin, aiding mood regulation. Group or one on one fitness fosters social connections, reducing isolation. A consistent routine effectively combats depression and anxiety, promoting resilience and overall mental well-being.Fitness benefits business professionals by enhancing focus, productivity, and stress management. Regular exercise improves cognitive function, aiding decision-making and problem-solving skills. Increased energy levels and better sleep quality contribute to sustained productivity. Fitness routines provide a healthy outlet for stress, promoting mental resilience. Additionally, exercise fosters discipline and time management, crucial skills for business success. BEST MOMENTS‘So many people are just cruising but know they’re capable of more’ ‘If your body is not at 100% then your business isn’t going to be either’ ‘There was still something wrong, I was just plastering over it’ ‘20% of the time is knowing what to do, but 80% of the time it’s about managing yourself’ ‘Don’t be scared of change, don’t be scared of finding yourself’’ RELEVANT LINKS Book an Audit Discovery Call with Harv Harv Fairburn (@harvfairburn) • Instagram photos and videos ABOUT THE GUEST Harv Fairburn is a fitness coach who helps business owners get in the shape of their life, live with more energy, confidence and fulfilment. Harv started personal training when he was just 18 and after a few years in the gym realised people weren’t getting or keeping the results they wanted. So Harv went on a mission to look into why where he found exactly what busy men and women need to do in order to get incredible life changing results from the systems that the team have in place.

  • Annual Business Cycles

    Annual Business Cycles
    2023/10/03

    Allan is back with another solo episode, this time bringing you his thoughts on annual business cycles. Cycles are so important in business and Allan has especially found that true in the property business. What are those property cycles? What times of year will the property market be slow? And how can you use your time most efficiently during each cycle?

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • One of Allan’s recent property investment purchases took from the offer going in in January, to having to wait until the end of September before he had the keys in his hands. That’s more than nine months of waiting just to get one property. This is why it is so important to have multiple properties on the go at once so you’re not left sitting there waiting for that one deal to complete.
    • January, February, and March are the ideal times to get as many viewings as you can in. This is because everybody is done with the slow down that occurs at the end of the year due to Christmas etc. People are getting back up to full speed and there are no major hurdles in the calendar.
    • When you were a child at school you had terms in each year, business is a little like that too because there are parts of the year where your customers are going on holiday and so are the people you do business with. The cycle will naturally just slow down around those school holiday periods.
    • The peaks and troughs you will see throughout the year would be from late January until just before Easter, then after the Easter double bank holiday until Summer you have a period of productivity. The last window of the year is after summer, so mid September to mid December. That last window of the year is only 12 weeks long.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘January is the ideal time to pick up a really great project because it’s been left there since the last year’

    ‘It’s incredibly important that you know what those peaks a troughs are’

    ‘Productivity during the summer dips'

    ‘There’s only about nine months in the year where everything can get done’

  • From Barbershop to Property Mogul With Jon Solitro

    From Barbershop to Property Mogul With Jon Solitro
    2023/08/29

    Jon Solitro is a Property Investor, Entrepreneur, Portfolio Builder, and owner of L’impero Sol, a problem-solving property investment company that helps landlords and motivated sellers. They buy, sell, and manage your unwanted properties, supporting local charities and communities along the way. Jon is on the podcast today to share his story of going from the barbershop to the property mogul he is today.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • As a kid Jon was always saving meaning that at just 19 he had £20,000 in the bank. He used this to buy a £100,000 three bedroom property at auction which he and his dad did up and rented out.
    • Jon made the switch from investing in property in Bedfordshire to investing in flats in Hull and the East Yorkshire area. This is because the flats were already separated and self sufficient and in the North you can get more of a return on your investment.
    • Jon’s portfolio of over 20 properties supports those who are at risk of homelessness, as well as working professionals who require quality accommodation. He achieved this by collaborating with various charities and councils across East Yorkshire.
    • Jon exclusively chooses high-yielding properties, which allows him to build momentum and scale quickly using reliable cash flow.

    BEST MOMENTS
    ‘One of the biggest arts of my success is that I listen’
    ‘What I found was that I was just a robot in that job, it wasn’t good for my mental health’
    ‘I’ve applied for a £25k loan, it’s either that or launching my laptop out of the window’

    ABOUT THE GUEST
    With a property portfolio exceeding 20 properties and a thriving utilisation of the BRRR model, Jon Solitro has established a prominent presence in the realm of property investment. Boasting over 15 years of experience as a landlord and investor, Jon has navigated through market fluctuations and regulatory shifts, consistently achieving success through strategic choices. Inaugurating L’impero Sol in 2019 as a dedicated platform for property investments, Jon's resilient approach is evidenced by the acquisition of 17 properties during the pandemic. Delegating day-to-day operations to a local letting agency, Jon is currently focused on expanding his portfolio, fostering partnerships, and offering expertise to motivated sellers and joint ventures, ensuring optimal returns and fostering impactful business connections.

  • Terry Blackburn Be A Lion

    Terry Blackburn Be A Lion
    2023/08/15
    Despite teacher's doubts and leaving school at 16, Terry Blackburn now runs eleven businesses, boasts multiple industry awards, and empowers others through coaching. From building sales teams of 100+ to a diverse property portfolio, Terry's journey is an inspiration. Join Allan as we explore Terry’s "Rags To Riches" strategies and learn how he's rewriting the rules of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Terry Blackburn has diversified his income streams through a range of businesses: insurance and mortgage brokering, financial services, property ventures, HMOs, Airbnb rentals, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, glamping sites, a construction company, letting agency, and engaging podcasts and books.Terry believes that if you want to grow and scale a business then you have to implement good systems and processes with the right people in place to lead teams. Nobody can manage 100 people themselves, you need to delegate the management of people so 1 person is responsible for 10, and those 10 are responsible for another 10 each. Terry’s book ‘Be A Lion’ shows you exactly how he achieved success and the ‘animals’ he learned to avoid along the way. You’ll learn how to think like a lion and make incredible transformations in health, money, relationships, business, and every other area of your life. You’ll also learn how to avoid ‘sloths’, ‘hyenas’ and ‘poachers’ who will drain your energy, waste your time and kill your dreams.One of Terry’s most important goals in business is that all staff members will be happy, fulfilled, content, as well as flourishing. It’s a goal you can’t really quantify with so many staff members all with different personalities. The reason he set it is to make himself accountable every morning for how he acts towards staff to give them the best possible environment to work in. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m good at setting things up, building teams and systems, then leveraging myself out’ ‘I am one hundred million percent obsessed with self development. It is part of my identity’ ‘Business is a better ROI than property’ ABOUT THE GUEST Terry Blackburn was repeatedly written off by his teachers who told him he’d never achieve anything in life. He left school at 16 without any qualifications. Yet he now runs eleven businesses, has won many multiple industry awards, and is an inspiration to many. Terry has built sales teams of over 100 people. As well as having an extensive property portfolio, including hotels & glamping sites. Terry is an advocate for coaching and believes that it has enabled him to reach his full potential. He now wants to help others to achieve the same, using his "Rags To Riches" strategies.

  • Allan Hardings £11M Property Portfolio With Ramsay & White

    Allan Hardings £11M Property Portfolio With Ramsay & White
    2023/08/01
    Discover the secrets of Allan's success as he hits a remarkable £11M value in his property portfolio. Join us on More Than Just Property, where we revisit Allan's insightful interview from The Ramsay & White podcast last year. Learn how he grew his portfolio to £7M at the time and gain invaluable wisdom for your own ventures. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired! KEY TAKEAWAYS Alan's interest in property investment stemmed from his understanding of government pension deficits and ageing populations, which led him to invest in buy-to-let properties, HMOs, and new build projects, diversifying his portfolio for long-term financial stability.Overcoming challenges in property investment requires finding the right people to work with and maintaining open communication. Building a team of trusted advisors, brokers, solicitors, and builders can help investors navigate any difficulties that arise. It's important to work with individuals who share the same goals and values and who can be relied on to provide proactive and timely support.Time is a critical factor in any deal, and the longer it drags on, the higher the chances of someone walking away. It is important to understand the urgency of closing deals promptly to avoid losing out on valuable opportunities.When venturing into property investment for the first time, it is crucial to take the time to understand your goals and aspirations. Do not rush into buying the first property you come across. Seek advice from experienced investors, do thorough market research, and analyse different investment options before making a decision. This will help you make informed choices and minimise potential mistakes.Overanalyzing and getting stuck in analysis paralysis can hinder progress in the property business. While it is important to gather information and assess risks, taking action and making decisions are equally crucial. Trust yourself and your intuition. As long as you have a good understanding of the basics and 51% of the knowledge, it is enough to make informed decisions and move forward.Balancing work and personal life can be challenging in the property business. However, with effective organisation and planning, it is possible to create quality time for yourself and your loved ones. Prioritise and allocate time for both work and personal activities to maintain a healthy work-life balance. BEST MOMENTS‘It was always just that future thought of when I get to 60, I want to be able to live for another 30-40 years and enjoy what I'm doing’‘The biggest thing was actually knowing how to do it properly and on scale’‘Time kills deals’‘If you've got 51 percent of the knowledge, that's enough for you to make a decision’‘If I suddenly walked away... what does that look like? Who am I?’ ABOUT THE GUEST Ramsay & White is an award-winning firm of specialist property finance advisers based in Cardiff, but covering the whole of the UK.
