DESCRIPTION
For this episode, Alex is joined by Emma Fielding, a young award-winning entrepreneur. At the age of 30, she has already flipped 12 properties, with another 3 in the pipeline, and has done this in just 6 years.

She explains how she flips properties quickly, finances her purchases, and succeeds in business despite dyslexia. Because of the way she researches each potential deal, Emma can predict within a 2% margin how much each flip will make. During the episode, she shares her exact process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You don´t need as much equity as you think to get started.
• It is not too late to get started with flipping UK properties. Emma explains how.
• Emma built her property business while holding down a corporate job.
• Research and knowing the area is essential for accurately calculating the return for each project.
• Get quotes from 3 or 4 trades, question them in depth and do your own costings.
• Build your brand online, when people know your work you get more out of networking and attract investors.

BEST MOMENTS

“6 weeks later … we had added about £40 grand worth of equity from a £10 grand investment. ”
“Where there's turbulent times, there's always an opportunity in property.”

GUEST BIO

Emma has built a successful property-flipping business in her hometown of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. After renovating her own properties in 2019 & 2020 and starting with just £20,000, Emma quickly got the property bug and decided a year later to leave her corporate career behind her to pursue creating luxury high-spec family homes in her local area.

To date, Emma has flipped 12 properties with another three in the current pipeline and has raised over £2million from angel investors. Emma's second year of trading amounted to a turnover of over £1 million with a net profit of six figures.

In December last year, Emma was crowned Young Property Investor of the Year 2023. Emma has some ambitious plans for the next few years including building a buy-to-let portfolio and starting small new build developments.

DESCRIPTION

For this toolbox episode, Alex talks about how to scale your Airbnb rent to rent business, to go from securing your first deal to generating income from multiple properties. To turn your side hustle into a business that enables you to give up your day job.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Start by mastering the management of your first property.
• If you don´t have your first property running smoothly, running more will be too much and you will fail.
• Put in place good systems that provide a flawless guest experience and keeps the property in perfect condition.
• Streamline your processes before you scale.
• Remove yourself from as many day-to-day tasks as possible e.g. cleaning or taking bookings.
• Use software and apps to automate as much as possible.
• Focus on building your network. Your network is not just agents. Cleaners, maintenance teams and other hosts can also be good sources of leads and partners.
• Treat your suppliers and team like gold, they are the ones that deliver the excellence that makes your business shine.
• Master cashflow. Short-term and long-term financial planning is crucial.
• Use the management model to start working with people who own properties that need attention. Later, they may rent to you.
• Work on the business not in the business.
• Invest in education for you and your team.

BEST MOMENTS

“Scaling isn´t about working harder. It´s about working smarter.”

“The 1st deal is always the hardest one…to scale you need to make sure you have a solid foundation in place.”

“That first property, that is your blueprint. This is where you're cutting your teeth making sure that you're getting everything right.”

“You've got to have repeatable systems in place that allow you to handle multiple properties without burning out.”

“Trust is crucial to your success.”

“In the UK, we've got this massive rental crisis. But it's not impossible.” – (finding more properties to rent and use for Airbandb)

DESCRIPTION
For this episode, Alex is joined by another young and inspiring entrepreneur - Jack Smith who started investing in property about 5 years ago. Today, at the age of 27 he has flipped numerous houses and built up a large portfolio of properties. He also sources and sells deals to other developers and is in the process of creating a luxury HMO portfolio. All while sharing his knowledge via social media and other free to access materials.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Try to make your first deal a joint venture that you do alongside someone with experience.
Education is essential. It is the starting point.
Even though it is tough, push yourself to network to find partners and people you can learn from.
If you do quit your day job, do it at the right stage.
Leverage social media to build your brand, attract investors and make it easier to change direction and monetise your business in multiple ways.
Focus on motivated sellers that need to sell to solve urgent problems.
Doing a deal that helps the buyer makes sense for both parties e.g. buy fast before repossession and help them to move into rented accommodation. Win wins work.
If a property is not suitable you can still earn something by selling the details on to another developer that does want it. Deal packaging works.
There is huge demand for HMO rooms especially at the luxury end of the market.
It is now possible to use individual electricity meters for each room, which helps to control HMO power bills.

BEST MOMENTS

“I thought there was a lot more complexity to flipping a house, and I was actually surprised at how simple it was.”
“Just off that one video, 1000 investors signed up to our email list.”
“Education is the starting point. If you're not educated, if you don't know what you're doing, or at least what you could be doing, what's the point?”

DESCRIPTION

For this episode, Alex explains in-depth how to speak to landlords and persuade them to do deals with you. He shares where to find them, how to reach them and how to cut through the noise to get their attention. Alex provides you with a checklist of benefits you can use to seal the deal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Focus at least 80% of your time on finding landlords and doing deals directly with them.

• Doing direct landlord deals gets you past some of the hurdles you cannot get past when dealing with agents, e.g. references for which the bar is usually incredibly high.

• Make sure that the landlord knows exactly what you are going to be using the property for.

• Most landlords worry about the negative impact your guests could have on neighbours. Be clear about how you stop this from being an issue.

• Offer long-term deals, 3-year contracts appeal to most landlords.

• Pay the landlord every month whether you have guests or not.

• Make it clear that you will maintain their property like a show home.

• Be clear about which aspects of maintenance you cover.

• Build trust, let them know that when you do not have guests they can meet you at the property to check things are OK.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you're dealing directly with landlords, you are removing 90% of the hurdles that are put in place by letting agents and the biggest one being referencing."

"Everybody needs to know the benefits that you can bring to them over running their properties as buy to let."

" You are not covered under the Housing Act, so you can't mess around like you can do on a residential AST contract."

“I'm going to be giving you back a property that is in a better condition than when I took it on,”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stop wasting energy worrying about what can go wrong. Instead, focus on what can go right.
There are plenty of small businesses that you can buy, amalgamate and make far more profitable,
In most cases keeping the owner working in the business for a period of time is wise.
Tap into the knowledge of those around you.
Don´t be afraid to take a chance. The worse that can happen is that someone will say no.
You will experience failures, don´t let that stop you.
Do your due diligence.

For this AirBnB Toolbox episode, Alex talks about something many property entrepreneurs struggle with – speaking to letting agents. He explains what you should be saying and what you definitely should not. The advice he shares is especially important for someone who is planning to get started using the now-challenging rent-to-rent model. But the tips he shares will also prove helpful for anyone who is trying to persuade a letting agent to do business with them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you are going to get started using rent-to-rent, start by doing a deal with a private landlord.
• Friends and family friends already trust and know you, so start with them.
• Tell people you meet and in your social circle about what you do, they may be landlords who are fed up and would prefer to rent to you.
• Focus on the direct-to-vendor market, speak to those that have buy-to-let portfolios.
• Don´t be intimidated by letting agents. Provided you have taken the right courses, you already know more about property than they do. But be respectful.
• Agents are familiar with AST contracts, but will rarely know much about company lets, so for them, doing a deal with you means taking a chance.
• Referencing is a big hurdle for those who are new to rent to rent. Alex explains how to get through that.
• Target the one-man-band agents. They are a lot more willing to do creative deals.
• Spend time building rapport and long-term relationships.
• Remember agents make a lot of money from taking care of the maintenance, so your maintaining the property is not a selling point.
• Work on your communication skills.

BEST MOMENTS

"This golden key to building your serviced accommodation business is these darn letting agents that are standing in the way, holding all the stock."

"Trying to sell these benefits to an agent is way harder than trying to sell it to somebody who already knows you, likes you."

"You've got to think about where we are in the UK, with the economy as it is we've got a rental crisis going on."

"Earn to have a conversation without reading off a script sheet."

"You´ve got to get out of your office …. Put on some decent clothes and go to the agent."

• Once you have more free time living the life you want and fulfilling your purpose becomes far easier.
• Running a business that aligns with your true values is very liberating.
• Visualise the life you want. Then, take action to get it. Alex and Pooh´s course is designed to ensure that you take the right action.
