The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate Mike Stenhouse: Property Investor

Whilst we’re not actively sourcing any deals at the moment - nothing to do with the market, but more from a desire to focus our energy on progressing our current projects as quickly as possible - I know a lot of our listeners, and maybe you as well, are looking to find your next deal in the near future, and as the market continues to evolve, there will be some good opportunities to be had. 
In fact I first mentioned these 3 types of deals to follow up on back at the start of the year, but the circumstances that lead to these opportunities have only strengthened so I wanted to dig into them in a little more detail today, and let this serve as a reminder in case you’re struggling with your sourcing activities and forgot about these potential sources that I shared 8 months ago.

Ready to shift from chaos to calm in your property business? Join us for our Personal Productivity for Property Investors masterclass this Sunday. 

Today’s episode was inspired by a masterclass I’m preparing for some of our IPI students, called personal productivity for property investors.
And whilst going through it I noticed that the number 3 is a recurring theme - there’s a lot of power to this number from a planning perspective, so I wanted to share some of that with you in the hope that it helps you get more clarity on how to structure your business, your goals, and your productivity for maximum results.

In today’s episode I’m talking about introducing private finance to your business - why it’s such an important and lucrative funding option for the growth of your business if you are an experienced investor, as well as how to understand whether or not you’re ready for investor finance, and how you can start to calculate the investment goals that would have a meaningful impact for you. I’m hoping the answer will be lower than you think! 
This podcast is actually the recording of part 1 of a training series we’re hosting all about raising private finance this week.  You’ve heard me talking about it on the podcast and social media, but I thought I’d give you an insight into what some of that training looks like.

Today I'm talking with the host of the Expat Property Story podcast about some of our experiences and lessons from over a decade in the industry. 
We discuss my thoughts around sourcing via the modern method of auction, commercial property values in our home town, why focus is so important in property investing, and much more.

Following on from our last episode looking at all the details of IPI Brewery Phase 1, today's episode is wrapping up the story with a look at phase 2 - converting a derelict building in a conservation area into a ground floor retail space and 2 residential apartments. 

What went wrong? Pretty much everything - covid, dodgy builders, internal mistakes... but we'll share every number from the project and let you decide whether or not you think the project was still worth doing.
