Progress photos from the basement of our #commercial property in Wakefield. The tenant's tattoo business is expanding and they have requested access/more space into the basement! - Basement gutted - Staircase installed - Bathroom moved for access - White box provided for the tenant When it comes to commercial tenants, some differences to note are: - Long leases are registered with Land Registry - Landlords provide a 'white box for the tenant to kit out the place the way they want - Business rates is a huge consideration when it comes to tenants renting commercial premises As the ground floor is so impressive already, I look forward to seeing the tenant's finished product! #Propertunities #properunions https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_9ndjlwiH/?igshid=5sr46ek63027

Miracle Morning SAVERS What does MM look like after 2+ years? I learned about MM over 4 years ago and practiced most to some degree every morning for around 6 to 9 months. These days: S - 10 mins calm guided meditation followed by another 10min or so silent meditation which may lead into visualization. A - I have these written out but only change it and start using it again when I want to improve on a limiting belief I've identified. V - as above and have a vision board I move around the home so it catches my attention. E - whatever exercise routine I feel like doing throughout the day. R - read, podcast, audiobook at least 15 mins a day - sometimes 1-2hrs - in the morning and throughout the day. S - I've stopped scribing into a diary, but... 1 - I practice gratitude (internally and by saying it) throughout the day now. 2 - Summarise learnings into Trello which is later shared on social media. 😁 #lifehacks https://www.instagram.com/p/CKyU6N7F6vX/?igshid=1k9796sc1739v

The "penthouse" bedroom in our 9 bed HMO. Plenty of room for a large double bed, desk, wardrobe, chest of drawers and sofa for a reading corner. Within a couple of weeks of marketing, the property is now fully tenanted! It was years ago when we had to negotiate extensions with Sold Subject to Planning when planning was rejected on not very valid grounds... we eventually got planning granted on appeal. #quicktips Generally speaking, if the project is simple, you can use an #architect. If the project is more challenging, work with a planning specialist / consultant. When submitting plans to the planning department, you can use relatively simple drawings. Constructions drawings are required for your builder. #beginnerpropertytips #Propertunities https://www.instagram.com/p/CEElDt-l1V7/?igshid=r5uj6l6fm3cl

Some quick tips on property due diligence: 💷 If you want cash-flow/high yields, invest in the North of the UK. 📈 If you want capital growth, invest in the South of the UK £££ To ESTIMATE the market value of a property, check the SOLD comparables within 0.5 mile radius and properties sold in the last 1 year. Really understand your exit strategy and tenants / buyers 👪 - Who are they? - Why are they renting / buying? - What is their affordability? - Is there a backup strategy?

The investment triangle as seen in @dannyinmanproperty presentation at @prosperitynetwork_ :100: Try not to be a hero and run before you can walk.. You can get seriously hurt if you don't have the capital to buffer delays and challenges :skull_and_crossbones: As I've also discussed previously, when investing in properties, you should consider building your foundations with the strategies at the bottom - BTL. :house_with_garden: Move up when you've gained enough experience over time and have enough of a buffer to deal with the risks. At #Propertunities, as individuals or within the business, we've invested in: ✔ Buy to Lets ✔ Flips ✔ Social housing ✔ Multi-let (HMOs without licences) ✔ HMO (5 bed+ that require licences) ✔ Small/medium conversions 🏡🏠🏘 Although we haven't completed on larger conversions and developments yet, we've done viewings and due diligence these projects over the years (from purchase prices of £400k to £26m 🏢🏬), and are always learning from these experiences by: - Talking to investors who want are interested in these size projects - Meeting specialists & advisors who have experience in these projects - Discussing details with our brokers - Doing detailed due diligence - online research, spreadsheet, calling people #beginnerpropertytips https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2T9IVFFO2/?igshid=12o531stjm8tr

Thanks to our good friend Ammy, Ky Le and I have been friends the moment she landed in London in 2005 and stayed at our flat in Baker St... Fast forward 15 years, I have so many things to be grateful for! 1. After having a very challenging corporate life, she embarked on her property investing journey in 2012 which had such a direct impact on my journey many years to come. To name a couple: * She answer 1001 questions I had in 2014 and helped me acquire my first BTL (and many more afterwards). * If Ben & Jess did not join(crash) my catch up dinner with Ky Le, I may not have invested with them, and thus, missing out on learning about Propertunities and being an apprentice. 2. Her personal growth journey inspires me to continue to learn more every day - events, books and podcasts. At our team meetings each week, it's so nice to hear about what she's learnt over the past week and how she's trying/testing things all the time. 3. Many fun trips around the world - South Africa, Cotswolds, Cologne to name a few. Even when I couldn't make the trip, Ky Le and other friends made a hilarious video about me!! Those who've seen it will know :joy::joy::joy: #Propertunities #gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/CBxM8LRl1y_/?igshid=1e4dhnorwv0xs

Tips for looking for new builders: - Seek at least three quotes from different builders. - For those who you think you could work with, visit current or completed projects. You could also ask to speak to previous clients. - As a very rough rule of thumb, you could ignore the lowest and highest quote. - Remember that good builders usually busy and more expensive than other quotes you find. These are photos from #Propertunities other 5 ensuite bedroom HMO currently undergoing works. #beginnerpropertytips #duediligence https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkOmCKlnfd/?igshid=1p845r7znugo2

Thank you Ben for being so supportive over the years - always finding ways to push my #thinkingoutsidethebox to help me grow. Three things that come to mind that helped me and could help others are: 1. #100goals exercise - a methodical and logical way organise your #lifegoals and make them so achievable. This, along with a number of other exercises, makes everything so achievable! 2. #Inspiring me to take action by asking thought-provoking #questions. The lesson I learnt was how important and powerful questions can be! 3. Why it's important to think #abundantly. Not alwsus negatively where opportunities will pass you by... Not always positively, where you may live in denial through rose tinted glasses... But abundantly, where you wisely do the best that you can, and trust that #universehasyourback. #lifehacks #Propertunities https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfEqaOFiKv/?igshid=142uoqzren3uj

What creative things do you do to help you achieve The Miracle Morning SAVERS? Three things I'd like to share are: 1. Being grateful all the time - what started as writing 3 into my journal every day, soon became daily and frequent practice - brushing teeth, at dinner table, before we sleep, etc. 2. Meditating or being present anywhere - from sitting on public transport or even just walking by reminding myself to be present and in the moment (without thoughts). . 3. Scribing what lessons I learnt yesterday or on reflection into Trello instead of in my journal. I then re-purpose the information and share on my social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) so that others can learn from them as well. What other miracle morning hacks do you do? #lifehacks https://www.instagram.com/p/CBANDpWFNKB/?igshid=lmau4qh0fyuv

Thank you Miles for be an amazing friend and business partner over the years!! Three things that I'm so grateful for are: 1. Miles has a practical approach his work that allows his creativity to shine - To name a few, he's created beautifully presented investor proposals, easy-to-understand spreadsheets, created educational videos, edited project video tours, built and re-built our website, created our quarterly newsletters, and also looked at creative ways to find and structure new projects. I'm certainly on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to creativity! 2. Great at building relationships with people which has helped immensely when networking and talking directly with vendors. I swear he knows everyone in the neighbourhood when we go for a wander! 3. I'm SOOOO pleased to have a partner in crime to support my #ocd with organising, filing and naming formats! I'm certain I sleep well at night knowing that all our documents are filed so neatly and logically. Everyone who's ever worked with me will understand... :joy: #Propertunities https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4m8ZUlQZd/?igshid=1ooxnzjbjj5qc

If you wanted to learn more about investing in buy to let properties, what book would you recommend and why? Although it's not property specific, the first couple of investment books that I found valuable were: * Rich Dad, Poor Dad * Cashflow Quadrant (both by Robert Kyosaki) Other popular books seem to be: * The Complete Guide to Property Investment: How to Survive and Thrive in the New World of Buy-to-Let - Rob Dix * Property Investing Secrets - Rob Moore & Mark Homer * Property Magic - Simon Zutshi #beginnerpropertytips #propertyeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuXmo6FxDn/?igshid=j3yngh6eg66a

"Financial Freedom in 1 week!" "No Money Down!" "Leave your job in 3 months!" Don't believe the hype in the #propertyinvesting world without doing your own due diligence! Generally speaking, all successful property investors and businesses have had years of acquiring knowledge through news, books, education, mentors, etc. At #Propertunities, we're no different either... - Work as a team and share our knowledge during our weekly team meetings. - Annual team conferences where we focus on ourselves and the business (johari's window, strategy, how we can help others). - Have had different property education. - Always listening to podcasts, reading books, reviewing property groups. - Have property investor mentor, expert advisors, tax advisors, accountants, VAT advisor, project managers... * It is possible to acquire financial freedom- but this requires time, focus and determination - even if you have cash to start with. *It is possible to do "no money down" deals - but this requires knowledge, experience and building relationships. * It is possible to get rich - but slowly, safely and working through many headaches and challenges. No one said property investing was easy! What other things have you heard about property that others should think twice about?! #beginnerpropertytips https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHon24A5iB/?igshid=1iq9c3hm0vsla
