Kevin shares his expertise on starting a property empire with no money down. He challenges conventional wisdom, debunks common excuses, and reveals how anyone can kickstart their property journey, regardless of their financial situation. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


No Money Down is not just a technique, but a mindset and way of life that allows investors to scale their property portfolio without using their own funds.
The CREST model (Credibility, Return, Exit, Security, Trust) is crucial for raising money and building successful property deals.
Having money can be a disadvantage in property investing, as it can lead to analysis paralysis and missed opportunities.
Surrounding yourself with the right people and changing your environment is essential for success in property investing.
There are numerous No Money Down techniques, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, and vendor finance, that can be used to acquire properties.
Focus on creating passive income streams from property to fund lifestyle expenses, rather than relying on earned income from a job.

BEST MOMENTS  

"No money down doesn't mean no money. No money down is a way of life. No money down is a change of thinking."

"I spent a bit of time doing what most people won't. So I can spend the rest of my life living how most people can't."

"Most people make excuses instead of making money. And the thing is, you can only have one of them. It's which one you choose."

"Money has never been the obstacle. It's all about the knowledge of what techniques to use and how."

Jamie joins Kevin on the podcast to talk about what prompted him to change his life and start investing in property. He shares the knowledge that has helped him build and grow his portfolio and also reveals why buy-to-let is his favourite property investing strategy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


After travelling to the USA Jamie realised that he needed to change the direction of his life.
Once Jamie decided property investing would give him the lifestyle he wanted, he started doing two flips a year alongside his Dad whilst still working full-time.
After a few years, Jamie and his Dad split the money they had made and Jamie started investing on his own.
One of the negative sides of flipping properties is the waiting for the sale, it can take anything from weeks to months to complete.
HMOs as an investment strategy can be a lot more maintenance and work than many people realise. You have to keep it at a high spec to continue to keep it at full capacity to generate the income you need.
Jamie’s next step is to move to the U.S and expand his business.
Having a good social media presence means potential clients will already feel like they know you, there is a relationship being built before you even speak let alone approach making a deal.
Positive procrastination can come from fear, it’s better to just start the process of property investing, you don’t need everything to be perfect to get started.

BEST MOMENTS  

"I decided that I would get into property someway, somehow”

“I prefer to by-to-lets, I’m not overly keen on HMOs”

“I didn’t have a leg up, at all”

Kevin shares his candid views on the upcoming UK election. For the first time ever, Kevin reveals he will be voting Conservative, explaining his reasoning and urging listeners to carefully consider their vote. With a potential property boom on the horizon, Kevin stresses the importance of making informed decisions both in the voting booth and in property investment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


Kevin believes voting for smaller parties is a wasted vote, as either Labour or Conservatives will ultimately win the election.
Despite disliking both main parties, Kevin will vote Conservative as he believes they have a slightly better plan than Labour.
The smartest economists work in the private sector, not in government, which contributes to the country's problems.
A property crash is currently happening, with 1 in 4 people in mortgage arrears, but a massive property boom is expected to follow.
The wealth gap will continue to grow as printed money during the pandemic has ended up with the wealthy, who will invest in assets like property.
It's crucial for individuals to carefully consider their vote and make informed decisions about property investment.

BEST MOMENTS  

"If you vote and there's many people, and I've had this debate on social media this week with people where there's like, Oh, I'm going to vote reform or I'm going to vote liberal Democrats or I'm going to vote whatever. Um, I hope this message gets out before the 4th of July election, you are wasting your vote."

"The smartest minds are not in the government. They're not in the Labour Party. They're not in the Conservative Party. They're not in the Reform Party. They're not in the Liberal Democrat Party. They are in the private sector."

"We are in a crash. The thing is, 25 percent of people are crashing, and 75 percent are absolutely fine. And people listen to this and they'll go, Oh, well, I don't see a crash. That's because you're not crashing. You're absolutely fine."

"Vote not for the party that's going to solve the problem, because they're not going to solve the problem. Vote for the party that's not going to make the problem bigger."

Kevin is joined by wealth creation expert Kevin Whelan to discuss innovative strategies for building financial independence. From leveraging the power of SSAS pensions to exploring the seven pillars of wealth, Whelan shares eye-opening insights and practical advice that will inspire listeners to take control of their financial future. Tune in to discover how you can create multiple streams of recurring income and set yourself and your family up for generational wealth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


Wealth creation means generating multiple streams of recurring income to create life certainty in an uncertain world, not just for yourself but for the next generation.
There are seven key assets you can use to build wealth: home equity, pension, investments, property portfolio, business, intellectual property, and joint ventures/collaborations.
SAS pensions allow small business owners to take control of their pension funds, invest in various assets, and even lend money back to their own businesses for growth.
Adding your spouse and children (once they turn 18) to your SSAS pension creates a powerful vehicle for tax-efficient contributions, wealth-building, and generational financial education.
Intellectual property is a valuable asset that most people underutilise, you can find ways to repackage, repurpose, and redistribute your expertise to multiply your value.
Joint ventures and collaborations allow you to combine different people's strengths, perspectives, and resources to ethically serve others and create wealth together.

BEST MOMENTS  

"Wealth only comes from the application of education plus commitment to take some action. You can't just learn, which is what most people will do."

"SAS allows people to build wealth today, not wait for tomorrow."

"We have the right and responsibility to educate our own children about money. They're going to live on average now to a hundred. So they're either going to have to get the lesson, otherwise, they're going to be working until they're 80."

"One of the best things I ever did in 2016 was setting up my SSAS, my pension, my future for my kids."

Kev is joined by John and Sarah Crew who share their journey in property investing the past two years. This episode might just inspire you to get started or give you new ideas on what you can do with your property portfolio in your area. John and Sarah also talk about how important the network and knowledge gained from Progressive has been in their recent success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


On his days off as a firefighter, John began helping his builder friend. Sparked by an interest in their Victorian property, John and Sarah then began to renovate and used money they had saved to start their own buy, refurbish, refinance strategy.
They first attended a progressive event in 2020 which made them realise they would need to use other people’s money to build their portfolio.
All locations have an abundance of property deals, you just have to learn how to find them.
Build your profile in your area and network, if people know who you are and what you’re looking for the deals will be easy to find.
If you find good deals then finding an investor to back you won’t be difficult. You are providing a valuable service.
The purchase price of a property in BRR is one of the least important factors, the main focus is actually on the redevelopment value.
John and Sarah are still working full time but this will change within the next two years when John and Sarah plan on both taking property investing on full time.
The best time to start investing in property is right now.

BEST MOMENTS  

“We decided to use a bit of money we had to start the BRR strategy”

“There are more deals out there than you could ever imagine”

“I don’t think necessarily you have to physically be everywhere but you have to put yourself out there and make sure people know what you’re doing and what you’re looking for”

“It was quite a scary concept, using other people's money. Now we feel comfortable with that”

“We’re working towards something and nothing will get in our way”

Alana joins Kev in this episode to talk about leaseholders and service charges. They discuss why this may be the next scandal and how the government, councils and owners can tackle the problem. They also talk about why new builds are never a good investment strategy as a house buyer and the inflated prices they charge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 


Some developers are claiming the leasehold charges are for the upkeep of things like roads and playparks.
Developers may build parks to get planning in areas that previously would be refused.
These leasehold properties on new builds aren’t transparent. Many house buyers are completely unaware of what they are buying into.
Kev believes that these types of leasehold charges on new houses should be banned. We pay enough council tax that councils should be paying for roads, parks etc…
New build houses are always sold for an inflated price.
Legislation should be targeting the bad 5% of tenants and landlords, not the good 95%. Most current laws and legislation are hurting the good tenants and landlords.

BEST MOMENTS  

“New build developers are advising houses for sale but they are being sneaky”

“This just screams dodgy to me”

“You’re almost living on a toll road when you move into one of these estates”

“They’re creating a legacy for generations to come”

“It’s kind of a legal-robbery”

“95% of landlords are great but it’s the 5% that give them a bad name”
