Dan Brown spent years working on construction sites as a fabricator/welder, but failed to pay much attention to what everyone else was doing.
It wasn't until his wife came home from work with the idea of property investing that he started to take notice and since then, in a very short space of time, they've created a property business supported by a fantastic brand - Habibo Homes.

Julie was successfully growing her property portfolio before a change in circumstances moved her and her family overseas.
Things stalled for a while, but after reassessing how she worked things started to gather pace again, and now as well as growing and managing her own portfolio, she's also able to help other grow their own, all while continuing to be based over 4,000 miles away in Abu Dhabi.

Six months ago, Mo was on the podcast discussing the ins, outs, ups and downs of his growing property business. Today he returns to provide an update on the impressive pipeline of projects he's working on, as well as to share some insights into his other passion, success!
From his time hosting the Your Success Podcast, he's written a book along with co-host Angelos all about the recurring traits of some of the most successful people they've met.
We discuss a number of those traits right here, along with how they apply to property investment, and I'm sure you're going to get a lot of value from this episode.

Adam Garland leapt into property at the start of 2018, working hard, taking consistent action, and... waiting!
It took the best part of 8 months before his first deal was across the line, but now they're stacking up in quick succession and I'm excited for where the opportunities are going to take him.

If you’re doing major works to a property, the construction industry scheme (CIS) might apply to you. Under the scheme, contractors must deduct tax from payments they make to subcontractors and send this money directly to the taxman.
If you're unsure whether CIS applies to you, property tax specialist Simon Misiewicz answers the key questions about it in our latest podcast.

Last week I was invited on Stephanie Taylor's HMO Heroes facebook channel to do a live interview. It was great fun chatting to her about our background and experience with HMOs, including our preference for commercial projects and how we've been able to fund many of our deals.

Today I'm joined by John and Bronwen Vearncombe, husband and wife team who have a growing portfolio of impressive property projects, and still find the time to travel the world volunteering and taking on adventure. Most recently they spent almost 12 months travelling the world, with John taking part in the Clipper round the world yacht race and Bronwen island hopping alongside him whilst helping numerous good causes along the way.

Today we're all in for a treat as we're joined by Pete Baker, a guy with boundless energy who has grown a portfolio of 11 rent to rent HMOs in less than 2 years, replacing his income in the process and handing in his notice at his day job last week.
It's a great example of what can be achieved in a short space of time, and now that he's free from the corporate world and doesn't need to worry about his income, he can move his focus to buying assets rather than just controlling them. He's a phenomenal guy who I had a lot of fund recording with, and I hope you enjoy it to.

In todays Interview I sit down with the founders of Bauhaus Living, an East Midlands based development company. Andy and Sunjay come from the advertising industry and entered the world of property development 5 years ago with no experience, but that first chance project ignited a passion in them that has led to pretty impressive success building new residential blocks.
In fact they attribute some of that success to not knowing much about property, meaning they can focus on building a business rather than trying to build walls.

We’re back with our latest warts and all lowdown of what we’ve been up to with our own project recently. We’ve got tons of updates, including getting two properties fully tenanted and taking the first steps with two new commercial conversions. We’ve even managed to squeeze some time in to scout out a co-working space.

Today I'm joined by Chris Hammond, an investor focussing on commercial conversions, flips and adding value to property through planning gain.
He's become a real inspiration to Victoria and I with the quality of projects he's working on, and we discuss plenty of these during the interview as well as how he used his own family home to scale the property ladder, and how he's growing his team in line with growing his business.

Today I'm joined by Nic Scudamore, a buy to let investor living in the south but focusing his investing on the north in order to get returns he's happy with.
In only a few short years with only a handful of properties and by helping others source good deals, he's been able to replace his income and step away from the corporate world.
Today I want to talk about some different sources of finance to help you fund your next deal. None of these are big secrets, but sometimes it just takes a little reminder of something to show you how valuable it can be.
There are 10 different options I'm going to talk through in this episode, with the hope that at least one of them can become a fresh source of finance for you.
You've heard todays guests, Marc and Rob Hodgkiss on the podcast before back on episode 173, and they've featured in a couple of videos on our Youtube channel as well. I'll post the links to all of these on the shownotes page in case you haven't come across them before and want a proper introduction, but in a nutshell they're full time property investors focusing primarily on serviced accommodation.
Because they don't necessarily invest where they live, with a portfolio split between Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and London, they've had to focus on implementing systems from day 1 so they can operate their short term lets from a distance.
That's exactly what we're going to be talking about today, diving into the details behind some of the systems they rely on most for managing from a distance, in a sort of follow up to our recent interview with Dale Smith talking all about his SA marketing processes.
Last week I sat down with Luke Spikes at his latest Higgihaus project in Swansea to understand more about his property and business plans around the co-living market.
He has a fascinating view on the philosophy around co-living, and an exception attention to detail. We discuss his philosophy during the interview, but obviously that design focus is difficult to convey via audio, so I recorded a short video tour whilst I was there which you can check on our youtube channel as well.

In this episode I sit down with Nicole Bremner in her London recording studio to talk about the power and value of personal brand building for everyone in the property world.
She was one of our first ever guests back on episode 13 in what was one of her first property interviews, and since then she's been a popular feature in some of our vlogs showcasing the amazing developments she's working on.
More than that though, she has built a phenomenal personal brand, becoming a leading personality in the property industry as a speaker at the biggest events across the country, topping the amazon charts with her best selling book, being featured in the Sunday Times and the Daily Mail, and taking over our feeds on virtually every social media platform.
This was just a short and impromptu interview, but I hope you enjoy it!
