Welcome back, dear listeners, to a very special episode that feels like a long-awaited reunion with an old friend. Seven years have flown by since we first sat down with one of the most memorable guests to grace our show, Jasper Ribbers. With over 400 episodes under our belt, Jaspers name still lights up conversations at events, and its easy to see why. His journey wasnt about amassing a vast portfolio or raking in eye-watering sums of money. No, Jaspers story struck a chord because it was a masterclass in designing a life of freedom and adventure. If youre just tuning in for the first time or need a little refresher, let me paint you a picture of Jaspers original vision. Imagine owning three cozy, affordable homes in three of your most cherished spots around the globe. Now, picture yourself hopping from one to the other, living out the ultimate digital nomad fantasy, all while renting out the other two to fund your adventures. Sounds like a dream, right? Fast forward to today, and were diving back into Jaspers world to see how that dream has evolved. The path hasnt been without its twists and turns—especially with the curveball that was COVID—but Jaspers adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit have led him to exciting new ventures. One of these is Freewyld, a venture thats reimagining the staycation experience in California, with plans to expand across the US. Alongside this, Jasper continues to share his expertise on Airbnb and short-term rentals through his brands, Get Paid for Your Pad and Overnight Success. Our conversation today is a treasure trove of insights, not just on Jaspers journey, but also on the future of the market. Whether youre a seasoned listener or joining us for the first time, theres a wealth of knowledge here for anyone interested in serviced accommodation, short-term lets, or Airbnb as part of their investment strategy. So, without further ado, lets dive in and catch up with Jasper Ribbers. Trust me, you wont want to miss a moment of this inspiring journey into lifestyle freedom and savvy business moves.

In todays episode, I’m going to show you why HMOs are the single best investment option for you if you’re looking to create more freedom in your life - whether that freedom looks like more money, to spend now or build wealth for the future, or like more time, to quit a job, do something you’re more passionate about, or just spend it doing the things you love with the people you love. This is a recording of the kick-off call for our upcoming HMO Challenge that I hosted live with a group of aspiring investors. If youre unsure about whether HMOs are the right option for you, give it a listen and see if it helps you make up your mind. ======================== CREATE YOUR OWN HMO INVESTMENT PLAN - Register for our free challenge https://go.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ihi-challenge-feb24?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_link_page&utm_campaign=hmo_challenge&utm_content=none 📈 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Today, Im thrilled to introduce you to David Kidd, a seasoned investor who has made remarkable strides in his journey towards financial and time freedom. Over the past year, David has transitioned from being a part-time property investor to a full-time endeavor, achieving the kind of success many aspire to emulate. Not only has he attained financial freedom, but he has also gained valuable time to spend with his young family, which has been a driving force in his pursuit. With a diverse portfolio and a series of astute decisions under his belt, David shares insights into his portfolio growth and the strategies that have propelled his success. His focus on creating freedom and flexibility to cherish precious moments with his family while they are young is truly inspiring. Though this episode may not revolve solely around this aspect, its a poignant highlight of the balance he has achieved through property investing. As David continues to pursue further growth, his journey thus far holds invaluable lessons for all. So, without further ado, lets delve into todays episode. ======================== CREATE YOUR OWN HMO INVESTMENT PLAN - Register for our free challenge https://go.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ihi-challenge-feb24?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_link_page&utm_campaign=hmo_challenge&utm_content=none 📈 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Todays guest is no stranger to the show, despite actually never appearing on a podcast episode with us in the past. And that is because his wife, his partner in crime, Jackie Tomes, has been a guest several times in the past and often refers to ‘Detail Dave’ with affection during those interviews. Today Im thrilled to be joined by Dave himself talking through what really gets him excited and fired up, which is all things numbers, spreadsheets, and data to help make sure that as property investors, our portfolios are optimised as much as possible. And through one of his services that he provides to his clients, the Portfolio Cashflow Optimizer, he has had visibility to more portfolios, more data, more financial information than any of us will most likely ever see in a lifetime. Through that he has spotted trends, patterns, opportunities, and areas where most of us are probably failing to maximise the income that we generate from our portfolio. So throughout todays interview, we talk a little bit about where this problem came from, how he went about solving it for his own business, and also some of the hints, the tips, the ideas, the opportunities that he has seen from his work with his clients that you can maybe apply to your own portfolio as well. ======================== REQUEST YOUR FREE COPY OF OUR INTRODUCTION TO HMO INVESTING GUIDE - Access here for free https://insidepropertyinvesting.lpages.co/introduction-to-hmos/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_description&utm_campaign=hmo_guide&utm_content=none 📗 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Todays guest, George Ball, brings a unique perspective to the property industry. With a background in sales, George has crafted a highly profitable strategy in land assembly. This involves negotiating with multiple homeowners or property owners to create parcels of land that he secures planning for. He then either develops these himself or sells them on to another developer for a considerable profit. However, George realized that alongside these substantial profits, he also wanted more recurring revenue. Thats where our paths crossed. A couple of years ago, George found our Inside HMO Investing course and recognized that HMOs were the perfect route for him to build up healthy monthly recurring profits alongside his development and land assembly pipeline. Since then, George has built up an impressive HMO portfolio, which he continues to focus on today, in tandem with his land assembly and development projects. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from his experiences, including how he got started, what his early deals looked like, his current focus, and his plans for the future. Were confident youll enjoy this insightful discussion. If you have any questions for George or want to discover more about his journey, all of his contact details will be shared at the end of todays episode. ======================== REQUEST YOUR FREE COPY OF OUR INTRODUCTION TO HMO INVESTING GUIDE - Access here for free https://insidepropertyinvesting.lpages.co/introduction-to-hmos/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_description&utm_campaign=hmo_guide&utm_content=none 📗 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Hey folks, welcome to what was supposed to be episode 400 of the Inside Property Investing podcast, but apparently is episode 401. What I thought would be nice to celebrate 400 episodes and almost nine years of the podcast was to run through some of the biggest lessons that Ive learned from the various podcast interviews that Ive done - some from specific guests and others just by osmosis from hearing them time and time again from lots of different people succeeding in the property world and talking about how they were able to do it... seeing the repetition, seeing the things that have applied in multiple cases that have resulted in growth beyond what the average or the aspiring investor achieves. Whether this is the first episode youve listened to, or your 400th, thanks for being here - I really appreciate you! ======================== REQUEST YOUR FREE COPY OF OUR INTRODUCTION TO HMO INVESTING GUIDE - Access here for free https://insidepropertyinvesting.lpages.co/introduction-to-hmos/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_description&utm_campaign=hmo_guide&utm_content=none 📗 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Im just coming out of my little Christmas / New Year hibernation. Ive been up in Scotland for a couple of weeks at my folks house with Victoria and our little girl, hanging out with family and eating all the food and watching all the Christmas films and doing all that stuff. So I just want to start off by wishing you a massive Happy New Year, whatever youve been up to, whatever holidays you celebrate. I hope you had a good little break whilst everyone else shut down and youre feeling refreshed and ready to go for the year ahead. Now this is a New Year focused episode. Im not talking about goal setting today though. I went a little bit off piste and wanted to focus on something that came into my life, an exercise that I first came across about 12 months ago that had a big impact on my 2023 and something that I will continue to do going forward. And I thought Id share that process with you and share a bit about the impact that its had on me and hopefully give you some inspiration about how it maybe can impact you and what your intention could be for 2024, not necessarily to replace goals or your goal setting process, but to sit alongside it. So I hope you enjoy todays episode. Like I say, its had a massively meaningful and profound impact on me, both from a personal point of view and a business perspective and I hope it does the same for you. ======================== REQUEST YOUR FREE COPY OF OUR INTRODUCTION TO HMO INVESTING GUIDE - Access here for free https://insidepropertyinvesting.lpages.co/introduction-to-hmos/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_description&utm_campaign=hmo_guide&utm_content=none 📗 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
You may have heard that over the past couple of summers, weve been spending a little bit of time in the mountains, specifically in a sleepy little ski resort called Morzine. And after decades of enjoying ski holidays in the winter, we thought, lets go check out what all the fuss is about for mountain summer holidays. We had an absolute blast. And in the process, we were lucky enough to meet a family who run a business called Reach 4 the Alps in Morzine. Theyve been doing it since 2000, so over 20 years now. And in todays episode, I get the chance to catch up with Gina, one half of the business and family partnership that has been running that company for those 20-plus years. And we get to talk about a whole bunch of different things. I mean, at its core, its a service accommodation business, hence the relevance. But I know a lot of us are investing in property to do other things with our lives, right? Property is not the end, it is the means to that end. But maybe we could combine the two. Maybe we could enjoy a different lifestyle, a different way of life, a different geographic location, or just something that we are more passionate about by investing in property in a way that allows us to have fun at the same time, which is exactly what Gina and Marcus have been doing - investing in a place that they love so that they can ski several times a week, they can enjoy that mountain life throughout the summer as well, raise their kids in a great location with all of that outdoor lifestyle. That specifically may or may not appeal to you. It doesnt matter, but I think what is important is that we can create a life, we can create a business that is built around what we want to achieve, what is important to us, and what makes us happy. So hopefully you get some inspiration, whether its about the service to accommodation side of the business, which includes some owned ski shalis as well as some rent-to-rent stuff, or just to get some creative juices flowing in your own mind about what a property business that works for you could look like. So I hope you enjoyed todays episode, Im sure you will, and if you ever find yourself in Morse then be sure to check out Gina and Marcus at Reach 4 the Alps. ======================== REQUEST YOUR FREE COPY OF OUR INTRODUCTION TO HMO INVESTING GUIDE - Access here for free https://insidepropertyinvesting.lpages.co/introduction-to-hmos/?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=podcast_description&utm_campaign=hmo_guide&utm_content=none 📗 JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
Todays guest, Tom Rourke, is a member of the IPI Mastermind. I have had the pleasure of getting to know him over the past six months. I cannot take any credit for his past success, and this isnt to brag about how weve been able to turn around his business overnight. Its really just to say Im thrilled to get to surround myself with people like Tom who have achieved what he has achieved in a relatively short space of time, and Im hoping that this interview today will give you some idea, some inspiration of what is possible in four or five years of dedicated investing, but alongside a pretty busy and hectic career as well. And I love lots of things about what hes done. I love his approach to HMO investing, not being scared of article four areas, really embracing the idea of bigger is better and getting some phenomenal returns by looking at large HMO properties - up to 12 bedroom sizes, which a lot of people shy away from, but can be a real opportunity. I love his approach to how hes funded his deals and using his corporate background and connections to really build a niche for what he does and build a reputation as the go-to guy for anyone else that is in that industry. And hes really tapped into that and used that to his advantage, allowing him to raise capital to continue growing the portfolio. So Im sure you will get a ton of insights and tips and hopefully a whack of inspiration from what hes been able to achieve and the stories that he shares throughout todays podcast. ======================== JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 Connect on Instagram - instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting/ Connect on LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/mstenhouse https://www.linkedin.com/in/mstenhouse/ (tell me you're from the podcast) ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting
If you were hit by a bus tomorrow, what would happen to your business? In most cases, it would stop growing, which isnt the end of the world. But if it would struggle to even continue to exist without problems surfacing that nobody else knew how to resolve, youve got a BIG problem and youre probably spending too much time working on your business rather than in it. Todays episode might just give you a few ideas to get past that stage and back into a focus on growth. ======================== JOIN ME FOR AN UPCOMING COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL OPEN DAY - Check out remaining tickets https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/openday 🎟 Connect on Instagram - instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting/ Connect on LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/mstenhouse https://www.linkedin.com/in/mstenhouse/ (tell me you're from the podcast) ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting

Justin Wilkins is slowly and steadily building up his own portfolio, but his main focus is on his property sourcing business, where he’s on track to hit 100 deals this year. Some of them he keeps for himself, some he quickly flips on without doing any work to them, and others he sources for his investor clients. Regardless of who ends up buying the deals he sources, they need to make sense financially, so to be able to do this volume is a real skill that I think we could all benefit from. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about today with Justin - what works best for him when it comes to sourcing deals at scale that we can apply to our own, probably more modest, deal sourcing targets. ******************** Check out our content on your favourite platforms: Website: InsidePropertyInvesting.com https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/ Instagram: @InsidePropertyInvesting https://www.instagram.com/insidepropertyinvesting Youtube: Inside Property Investing https://www.youtube.com/c/insidepropertyinvesting

6 YEARS AGO, STUART LORDAN JOINED ME ON THE PODCAST WITH PLANS TO REACH 100 HMO ROOMS WITHIN 12 MONTHS. TODAY HE’S BACK TO SAY THAT HE FAILED TO REACH THAT GOAL, WITH ABOUT 80 ROOMS IN THE PORTFOLIO AT THE TIME OF RECORDING, BUT INSTEAD OF PUSHING FOR GROWTH AT ALL COSTS TO ACHIEVE THOSE 100 ROOMS, HE’S INSTEAD MANAGED TO BUILD A STABLE BUSINESS WITH SOLID FINANCIALS, RETAIN FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY IN HIS OWN LIFE, AND DIVERSIFY INTO OTHER AREAS AS WELL. HE’S LEARNT A LOT ALONG THE WAY, BUT POSSIBLY NO MORE IMPORTANT LESSON THAN REALISING THINGS DON’T ALWAYS GO TO PLAN, AND THAT’S OKAY.

Today I’m delighted to be joined by Jane Scroggs, returning to the show after a couple of years since her last appearance, not to talk about property this time, but about her business Beam, which supports property investors with her team of UK based virtual assistants and property specialists. Jane is a real pro when it comes to outsourcing, delegating, and generally helping you free up your time from the day to day admin of running a property business so that you can focus on the real valuable tasks in your business like sourcing your next deal, raising funds for your next development, or, god-forbid, taking a well-earned day off, safe in the knowledge that things won’t implode whilst you’re gone. During todays episode we talk about the who, what, where, when and why of getting help and starting to outsourcing some of the work in your business, and of course if you’re interested in Jane’s support with any of this, you can reach out to her via the contact details she shares at the end of the episode. =============================== Join our exclusive mastermind group for experienced property investors looking to scale their businesses without the burnout – apply now at insidepropertyinvesting.com/mastermind https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/mastermind and let's grow together! ******************** Are you interested in scaling your portfolio with the best strategy in the property world?

Michael Lawson is a Dubai based investor who rapidly scaled his portfolio whilst holding down a successful career and living about 3,000 miles away - and when I say rapidly, I’m talking to the tune of 15+ new purchases per year. How does he do this? Well it’s a family business, and he has his mum back on the ground looking after more of the customer facing tasks while he focuses on the business growth and strategy; he keeps his attention on just two postcodes in Fife that he knows like the back of his hand - an approach I’ve always favoured rather than trying to cast your net too wide; and he’s kept things as simple as possible, with a portfolio made up predominantly of single lets. One of the reasons I love hosting this podcast is the constant reminder that there are so many different ways to make a successful career from property, and Michael gives us yet another perspective on how things can be done, so I’m sure you’ll get a ton of value from our discussion today. He also let slip after we stopped recording that he’s getting married next week, which will be before this podcast airs, so Michael, by the time you’re listening to this you’ll be a married man and I just want to wish you a huge congratulations and all the best to you and your new wife. Now, let’s get into the show. =============================== Starting on April 13th and running through until the end of the month I’m hosting a free series of trainings that will help you understand if HMO investing is the right option for you, and if it is, how to identify the perfect investment area to start growing your portfolio.

This week, I’m sharing our story of how we got into property full time - thanks to HMOs. During the episode, I share our background before we discovered HMOs, including our corporate jobs, early flips, and our limited single let experience, as well as the progress weve made with HMOs - from our first accidental 3 bedroom HMO in 2009 to our first intentional HMO in 2015, and beyond. I talk about the time required to create career replacing income from HMOs, and tackle the question of funding. I share our own experiences with different finance options, including using our own money, taking on debt, and working with joint venture partners. =============================== Starting on April 13th and running through until the end of the month I’m hosting a free series of trainings that will help you understand if HMO investing is the right option for you, and if it is, how to identify the perfect investment area to start growing your portfolio.

This is possibly my most awkward interview to date, because Jerry is a true expert when it comes to commercial property investing and I spent the whole time trying to think of answers beyond ‘we just make it up as we go along’. Jerry Alexander is the host of the Commercial Property Investor podcast and invited me on to talk about our own experiences in the world of commercial property investing. I could talk all day about commercial to residential conversions, and in fact if you’re interested in listening to me talk all day about them then on of our commercial to residential Open days would be the perfect investment for you, but in this case Jerry’s real interest is in commercial property retained as commercial property, which I am a novice in. But it’s an interesting discussion, particularly around how we moved from residential projects into commercial conversions, and some lessons I’ve learnt along the way, so I hope you enjoy, and if you feel so inclined, I’d be grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review for the show to help more aspiring investors discover it. =============================== Starting on April 13th and running through until the end of the month I’m hosting a free series of trainings that will help you understand if HMO investing is the right option for you, and if it is, how to identify the perfect investment area to start growing your portfolio.

I think you’re going to love today’s episode as I chat with Courtney Bryan about his investment story so far, specifically looking at the details of his first HMO - what worked well, what didn’t go to plan, how he selected his investment area, sourced the deal, and so much more, including all the numbers of that first project. Courtney mentions our Inside HMO Investing programme a couple of times throughout the interview, and I’m thrilled it’s had such a positive impact on his confidence to get out there and invest, but actually most of our guests these days we’ve worked with in the past, whether it’s through our HMO programme, our Open Days or our raising private finance programme. Some of our recent guests like Nikki Smith, Martin & Lauren Plummer, Howard Giblin, Jess Leader, and Kim Opszala have all invested in support and education with IPI, and as I said to Courtney after recording this, it’s so fulfilling 7 or 8 years after starting this podcast to be part of all of their stories, and I hope one day I can be part of yours as well. Maybe even, I’ll get to discuss it with you as a guest on the podcast. But for today, let’s see what we can learn from Courtney and his own investing story. =============================== Starting on April 13th and running through until the end of the month I’m hosting a free series of trainings that will help you understand if HMO investing is the right option for you, and if it is, how to identify the perfect investment area to start growing your portfolio.

Since last being on the podcast in 2020, Kim’s business and life have changed dramatically. From a property perspective, she’s switched her focus from R2R to buying HMOs, giving her much more security for the longer term by actually owning the assets that she’s renting out, although as you’ll hear during the interview, she still obviously has a soft spot for rent to rent and the opportunities that model created for her in the early days. But more excitingly, at least from my perspective, is the change to her living arrangements, as she recently converted a van into a camper and splits her time between life in the UK and life on the road, travelling with her family whilst continuing to run and grow her property business. And as a fellow travel junkie, I spent more than a little time asking her about how this is working out as well. A great follow up interview with Kim that I’m sure you’ll enjoy, so let’s get started.

Today, I’m joined by Jack Smith, and I think you’re going to enjoy this episode. Jack’s an investor who started off flipping houses, after spending time spinning his wheels and getting distracted by all the different investment options that were available to him. He made a £30,000 profit on his first deal, and quickly moved on to deals 2 and 3, but during his search for good projects, he realised he had a knack for finding off-market deals that were valuable to other people. His sourcing business was born, and that quickly surpassed his investment income, becoming more or less his full time focus ever since. During the interview we talk about both the flipping model and his sourcing business, as well as the value of his YouTube channel in helping him scale, and why this platform is a huge opportunity compared to most social media platforms.
