Rob Caswell’s journey demonstrates the rapid results possible through Progressive Property’s training. In just two months after starting, he began profiting from his property investment. Within four months, he had a portfolio of six profitable properties.
All achieved by working with Kevin and the No Money Down team, taking action and sticking to the plan. If you want to see how to do the same, listen in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Working for someone else means you are working hard to build someone else`s dream. You are not in control, which is soul destroying. Instead, work for yourself, and don´t give up until you succeed.
The mentorship, community, and accountability provided by Progressive were crucial in overcoming self-doubt and external negativity. This enabled Rob to stay motivated and focused.
Working full time does not mean you can´t profit from property. Rob started while working. The methods Progressive teaches work just as well for absolute beginners who still need a job to pay their bills as they do for seasoned investors looking for new ways to profit.
Rob successfully implemented several strategies including: no money down purchases, rent-to-rent, purchase lease options and direct-to-vendor marketing methods. As Progressive develops new methods, he plans to implement those, too. You don´t need money to get started or a lot of spare time.
BEST MOMENTS
“My first deal was literally, absolutely no money down.”
“I used the tenant's money - the first month's rent - to pay for the furnishings.”
"There are so many deals out there."
“You are around people, watching these deals happen around the table in front of you right at the start of your mentorship.”
"Get started. Put your best foot forward. The answer is yes. Figure it out later."
"Get some training. First and foremost, don’t walk into it blind, get a mentor. The mentor is absolutely key."

Your property portfolio is facing its biggest threat in a decade, and it's coming directly from the government. Today, Sean talks to Kevin McDonnell, who teaches 1000s of property professionals how to protect and grow their portfolios. He's a seasoned investor who's dissecting the government's next potential moves on property tax.
Kevin and Sean break down the proposed seismic shifts in stamp duty and what they mean for you and your next purchase, the potential overhaul of capital gains tax and the rumoured new annual tax for property owners that could impact your cash flow.
Stay tuned to the end as Kevin reveals the hidden opportunity and the surprising upside for savvy investors.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The changes will lead to seismic changes especially if they eliminate stamp duty and introduce a National Property tax. Including the prices of cheapest properties soaring, so get in early.
Be alert to opportunities created by market fear and uncertainty. When others are hesitant, there are bargains to be found.
Understand all of the proposed changes : Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, National Property Tax and National Insurance for Landlords.
Surround yourself with knowledgeable people and experts that can help you make informed decisions and rework your strategies.
Attend educational events, such as Progressive´s free "Multiple Streams of Property Income" event to learn how to protect and grow your portfolio in a changing tax environment.
Investigate the possibility of purchasing investment properties through limited companies. This could mitigate the impact of new taxes that target personally owned buy-to-lets.
Consider buying before the proposed changes take effect.
Focus on long-term strategies rather than short-term gains.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's all about having the knowledge and the people around you that will teach you how to do this stuff right."
"We're running a Multiple free Streams of Property Income event soon. It's specifically around the things that are happening now … Come and learn about how to protect themselves when this stuff happens."
"Get those cheap properties snapped up….Whilst this window is open, it's time to make hay."

Right now, the UK property market is in the middle of a serious storm and whether you're a landlord or a tenant, it's about to get a whole lot worse for those who don't have the right knowledge. So make sure
you stick around till the end of the episode to find out exactly how you can
not only weather this storm but turn it into the opportunity of a lifetime.
Sean explains how we got into such a mess, why The Renters Bill will make rents increase further, and most importantly how to turn that impending crisis into an opportunity that will benefit both you and your tenants.
KEY
TAKEAWAYS
Despite the challenges, there are significant opportunities for savvy property investors willing to learn new strategies and navigate the changing landscape.
·
Government policies, e.g. Section 24 and the tenant fee ban, combined with higher overheads squeezed small landlords, forcing them to raise rents or leave the market.
·
The new Renter’s Rights Bill is designed to protect tenants, but it is also likely to push rents higher. Landlords will not be able to absorb all of the costs related to compliance.
·
Abolishing “no fault” evictions is making renting riskier for property owners, so many are leaving the market.
·
You can step in and buy as landlords leave the market and apply the new strategies that you learn from Progressive to create win-win deals.
·
Increasing the number of responsible landlords is key to balancing the market and easing rent pressures for tenants.
BEST
MOMENTS
“Since 2010 rental prices have shot up by 90% across the country. This is totally unprecedented.”
“It's a huge opportunity coming up right now. If you're not in, you can't win.”
“If we can bring rent down by increasing supply, by increasing the number of
landlords, then we create win-win situations for everyone.”
“You can learn these strategies at Progressive property trainings. Once you know what you're doing and you know how to navigate that bill (Renter´s Rights), you can set up your properties and do win-win deals.”

From carpenter to property developer. Matt Hawes shares how he transformed his mindset and life through Progressive Property’s education and community. After years of building for others and being held back from becoming a developer by a lack of finances, Matt solved the problem. Progressive taught him creative strategies, such as vendor financing, assisted sales, and the buy-refurbish-refinance method. He reveals how these no-money-down and money recycling financing techniques—and the support of the Progressive network—helped him raise £500,000 from an investor, complete major developments, and continue to unlock new opportunities.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
For years, Matt worked on the tools before securing a construction project management degree and managing massive projects. Yet, he still could not make property development work for him. What he learned with Progressive and the connections he made via them is what ultimately enabled him to succeed.
Matt talks about 10 of the financing and property development methods Progressive taught him. He shares which ones are currently working best for him and exactly how he uses them.
Mentorship, networking, and being open to new property development strategies are key for success. All of which Matt gets with Progressive.
BEST MOMENTS
"I've taken a £500,000 building and made it worth the best part of a million."
"Vendor finance - it's a crazy concept where the person selling your house could actually lend you some of the money to buy the house."
“The finance was holding me back. After coming to Progressive and learning a bit about raising finance, I managed to raise half a million pounds on one of the first phone calls.”
"I really liked it when I found Progressive, it just felt a lot more like a family. More like a cohesive network."
“If you're someone who doesn't have the funds, you can come to a place like Progressive, learn how to meet and speak to investors, network with people and joint venture with them.”

What exactly is inflation and why is it important to us as the general public but also as property investors? Kev explores these questions and gives straight forward, unbiased, and honest answers and talks about the real reasons why more billionaires are created in a crash than at any other time.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The measuring of inflation isn’t always that accurate. It’s not just about the goods you buy in a supermarket but everything in the economy that requires currency to exchange hands.
In the past couple of years wages are simply not high enough to keep up with inflation, even the government is looking at increasing public sector wages by 6%, which is still way below the rate of inflation.
Right now you can enter the property market for less, there are unique opportunities out there for investors.
Buy to let investors have always had to buy with a higher deposit, if you have the cash you can invest as long as you stress test yourself.
Property prices are going to come down, there will be many repossessions including rental properties.
The amateur investors who overleveraged and did not plan will be the ones who suffer.
It’s the ones that need to sell and that you can help where you will make money.
BEST MOMENTS
“Inflation is simply the buying power of money”
“Does increasing interest rates help solve the inflation problem? Yes to a point but not like it used to”
“Will every landlord have future proffed their portfolio like I did? Absolutely not”
“More billionaires are created in a crash than any other time”

Kevin and his team share the various tenant issues they have had over the years. They talk about how to defend yourself against bad tenants including why referencing isn’t always enough and reveal the worst tenants they have ever had to deal with. However, let this prepare you, not put you off property as Kevin and his team mostly deal with perfect tenants!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Nightmare tenants usually have a honeymoon period before showing their ‘true colours’
Alcohol, drugs and visitors are often the start of many issues.
Referencing is key as a first defence against nightmare tenants.
Landlords may not always be completely honest about current tenants as they want them to move.
If you can find potential tenants on social media that can give you more information to decide on whether to rent to them.
Dealing with aggressive tenants is one of the biggest challenges, especially in a HMO situation.
You have to deal with bad tenants swiftly or you risk losing the good tenants.
Don’t give bad tenants an inch or they will take a mile. You need to be fair but firm.
Regular inspections can help you combat issues early.
BEST MOMENTS
"Most tenants are great but there is always that nightmare tenant that appears every so often”
“We use a referencing company, but you will always find a landlord reference doesn’t always reflect the truth”
“We have over 300 tenancies and very rarely do we have a bad one”
“That’s not really a bad tenant, that’s a tenant with a problem and we as landlords aren’t social workers”
“If you don’t deal with the bad tenant quickly the good ones will leave”
"Cat fleas are worse than cats"

Former journalists Erica and James share their journey building a property portfolio through Progressive Property's education and community. After experiencing redundancy and living in a camper van, they discovered no-money-down strategies, rent-to-rent deals, and HMOs. Their story reveals how they transformed from traditional buy-to-let investors into creative property entrepreneurs, completing more deals in 12 months with Progressive than in five years before. They also share their mindset barriers, how to leverage other people's money and more!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Erica desperately wanted to give her money to property partners, while in the UAE, she actively sought people to invest with because she lacked local knowledge and emotional connection to oversee refurbishments herself.
• James learned property's leverage advantage after going a year without pay. His experience of financial instability in journalism made him realise property offers unique access to banks' and investors' money that other investments don't provide.
• After joining Progressive Property, their deal flow accelerated dramatically compared to their traditional approach of saving salaries for deposits.
• Their first six months felt like failure, but built the foundation for their success. The initial period of following Kevin McDonald's steps without visible results was actually creating the network and credibility that led to four rent-to-rent properties.
• James's mother quadrupled her income overnight using Progressive strategies, she attended MISA, converted a single let to HMO, then successfully moved into serviced accommodation, proving education works for experienced investors too.
BEST MOMENTS
"One of the reasons I've got into property is that idea of having an independent source of income that no one else can take away from you."
"Don't jump out of your job before you've built your parachute…we were like, well, it's too late for that."
"In sort of 12 months, we've done more deals than we did in the five years before that."

Kevin joins Jessen James on the Mind Over Money podcast to talk about the power of property investing itself, as well as his own personal journey in business, and the part that mind-set has played in his incredible rise to success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Inspiration can take many forms, but nothing stirs us or empowers us more than seeing others who have succeeded, and hearing the stories of how they did so.
When our backs are against the wall, we usually discover how strong and resourceful we can be. Never be afraid of pressure, because it can serve to highlight our strengths.
Often, we tell ourselves that success is elusive. We are afraid to take the risks for fear that they won't work out. Taking that first step towards action is crucial.
Accountability is important when it comes to our business journey. We must take responsibility for the choices we make, even if they are wrong ones.
BEST MOMENTS
'Within 12 months I'd replaced my income'
'I had no choice but to think creatively'
'It's not difficult to raise money. It's difficult to try'
'Stop looking back and look forward'

Sean is joined by property investor Hamish Douglas. Hamish shares his how he became an accidental landlord who went on to build a nine-property portfolio that includes buy to let and rent to service accommodations. He discusses challenges like Brexit's impact on his investments and how he overcame them through education and networking.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Property investment started when Hamish bought a flat to live in, then rented it out after moving abroad. This showed him property could generate income.
Property provided a foundation for financial growth for Hamish, offering stability and profit.
Mentors and networking with successful property investors is essential for growth. Education and building a network builds confidence and helps you learn from others mistakes.
Hamish's portfolio includes multiple buy to let properties and rent to service accommodations, showing a strategic approach to diversifying income streams.
BEST MOMENTS
"I was having this incredible life, but I wasn't sharing it with people. So I needed to build it in a way that gave me the ability to still have those personal relationships."
"I always thought of it as flipping only rather than buy, rent, refurbish and refinance. The idea of it has developed more. You can pull out a large portion of your money, even if it's not everything."
"With property, every one you take on becomes a secure foundation that you can then move forward from. You're not going to move backwards."
"The earlier you get educated, the earlier you get a support, the earlier you get a network. There's no other way other than to succeed."

Kevin joins Sean to talk about how to recognise mentor red flags and prevent yourself from being taught by the wrong person. He shares the easiest ways to spot a bad trainer or mentor and the ways you can protect yourself.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· In every industry there is good and bad and property is no exception.
· One of the biggest red flags is if someone is teaching you and then telling you the property to buy.
· If a property investor is good, they won’t need to borrow money from students to invest.
· People think there is easy money in property training but they often don’t calculate overheads so anyone who has been training for a long time is usually a green flag.
· Do your due diligence on any mentor or trainer, companies house is a really easy way to check people out.
· If trainers aren’t willing to show you what they are doing then question it. They should also be full of passion for what they are doing.
BEST MOMENTS
“Are most property trainers full of shit?”
“I would avoid anybody who is telling you what you should buy and then offering the same thing to you”
“If you say something, back it up with truth”
“Do not give me your opinion, show me what you’re doing”

One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on.
***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom.
Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity.
Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value.
Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities.
BEST MOMENTS
“nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income”
“You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money”

Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth.
You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn’t mean they will be a higher quality tenant.
Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas’ and one street can make all the difference.
The monthly rental profit isn’t the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities.
A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less.
Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate!
BEST MOMENTS
"Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?”
“You need to know your area”
“Your return in the North looks better in the South”
“What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business”
"It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something"

Kev is joined by Ben Knight from The Trade Tribe to talk about how you can take control back of your finances in the stock market. For less than 5 minutes a day, Ben’s strategy helps anyone learn and start trading.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Ben Knight started The Trade Tribe 5 years ago with the goal to make trading more simple for the everyday person.
• Many people avoid trading as it can be portrayed as complicated, but Ben says this is not the case and you shouldn’t let it put you off, regardless of who you are and how much money you have to invest.
• Ben believes that financial education should be taught in school, and children leave school without the skills to build their wealth or even truly understand money.
• Ben started doing HMOs but didn’t educate himself enough on property, this was a big lesson for him and meant he did the right amount of research before starting in trading.
• Creating and following a process is important for Ben, and he encourages anyone investing in anything to take a methodical and rational approach.
• You need to know when you plan on selling something and have a plan for it before you even buy in the first place. Start with the end in mind.
BEST MOMENTS
“People are making it ridiculously complicated…it puts a lot of people off”
“Everyone has 5 minutes in their day to grow their wealth”
“Everyone likes to think about what to buy when, but no one thinks about when to sell”
“Start with the end in mind”

Sean is joined by Shimon Ruach, a property solicitor who uses creative property investing in the UK! From cycling through Manchester snow with no bus money to becoming the pioneer behind lease options and countless other strategies, Shimon shares his knowledge and experience of building wealth through problem properties that 99% of investors avoid. Discover why he deliberately targets properties with Japanese knotweed, subsidence, and structural issues and how this counterintuitive approach has made him a fortune.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Target problem properties for maximum profit. Properties with issues like Japanese knotweed, subsidence, or missing kitchens offer huge discounts because 99% of investors and lenders won't touch them, yet fixing costs are typically manageable with the right knowledge.
Learn multiple strategies to maximise opportunities, focusing on just one property strategy (like service accommodation or HMOs) means missing out on profitable deals daily; successful investors adapt their approach to fit each property's unique situation.
Solve vendor problems, don't just buy properties, homeowners sell because they have problems or needs, not to make profit so understanding their real motivation through rapport-building allows you to structure creative deals that benefit everyone.
Invest in education over everything else. The cost of proper property education should be measured against potential returns, not the price tag; spending £100 to learn nothing is more expensive than £10,000 that enables profitable deals.
Stop making excuses about time and money, people who claim they have no time for property somehow find time for TV; those who say they can't afford education are really saying they can't afford to make money.
Challenge banks and know your rights. Banks often refuse reasonable requests like interest-only payments or allowing tenants, but they have a legal duty under FSA guidelines to explore all options before repossession, creating opportunities for informed investors.
BEST MOMENTS
"If someone gives you 1 million pounds to play with, you don't have to be creative. As long as you don't waste it, you still make money. But 99% of investors like me started with property on the side."
"I don't have the time for property, but you do have time for TV? Doesn't quite add up, does it?"
"I'll make an offer you can't refuse. Don't worry, there's no head of a horse involved."
"Either you're a sheep like everybody else and you will stay a sheep like everybody else, or you try to do something and tomorrow you're no longer a sheep."

Sean speaks to Tabitha about what lead her to investing in property and how this has impacted all areas of her life. Tabitha shares her early experiences in property buying, why she started training with Progressive Property and why she believes property investing has the ability to enhance anyone’s life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Tabitha bought her first property, but straight away she had lodgers to pay her mortgage and bills. This gave her flexibility in finances but also meant she could travel away for her acting career.
As her property portfolio grew, Tabitha found herself spending more and more time working in this side of her life with no one to talk about it with. This is one of the reasons she sought out the Progressive Property community.
Attending Progressive events and training helped Tabitha realise the potential within her property investing and has also helped her with her own personal development.
The collaboration and mentorship that come with attending Progressive property events are two of the ways Progressive Training has enhanced and accelerated Tabitha's property investing. Just being in a room with like minded people can give you incredible inspiration and support.
BEST MOMENTS
"I began to realise the value in property and how it could really enhance our lives”
“This last year has been a phenomenal learning experience for me”
“My confidence has come back and I was beginning to feel a little bit invisible”

Sean and Kevin talk about how you can raise finance as a property investor. Kevin shares his decades of experience in raising cash including the two main ways to raise finance. Sean also talks about the importance of borrowing and how to challenge your own limiting beliefs around money and lending.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Whilst you might not be able to ask family and friends for cash, that doesn’t mean someone close to you won’t be interested. Kevin managed to raise finance from a colleague, from just a conversation at work.
Sean’s mindset had to change when he discovered he was unable to get a loan he needed as he had no credit score. His mindset around borrowing money shifted even further when he started to attend Progressive Property events.
As long as you tell people what you are doing in your property business, they will want to lend money to you.
Always conduct thorough due diligence as an investor, ensuring you understand the proper terms.
The money goes where the knowledge is, so go to property networking events, both locally and nationally.
BEST MOMENTS
"Most of the people that knew me were as broke as me”
“You can raise money from total strangers as well”
“Even though I’d never needed a loan in my life suddenly my mindset shifted totally and I realised that when I needed to borrow money I had to build a credit file”
“People will lend you money”
“You should not be lending money on handshakes”
“The money goes where the knowledge is”

Sean interviews previous host Kevin McDonnell. Kevin shares his journey from a farm in rural Ireland to becoming a multi-millionaire property investor. He reveals his painful mistakes buying off-plan properties abroad that left him £100,000+ in debt and how he transformed his life through property strategies like rent-2-rent. If you haven’t heard Kev’s story already, this episode will leave you inspired and informed. If you’d like to learn more from Kevin, he has written multiple books on property investing, including No Money Down Property Investing and Multiple Streams of Property Income.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Kevin began with zero property knowledge, making mistakes by investing in off-plan properties in Europe that put him over £100,000 in debt, this is why proper education before investing is crucial.
After hitting rock bottom at age 35, living in a shared house and in debt, Kevin discovered rent-2-rent and deal packaging strategies that allowed him to become debt-free without needing significant capital.
By moving into his first rent-to-rent property and subletting the other rooms, Kevin eliminated his own housing costs while simultaneously generating income to service his debt.
Kevin emphasises that mindset and environment are critical success factors; surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people creates opportunities that reading books alone cannot provide.
From his initial failures, Kevin built an 18+ million pound portfolio with over 100 properties, 18 businesses, and several bestselling books, demonstrating the power of consistent action.
Kevin's success formula is to believe in yourself and take the first step, surround yourself with like-minded people who share your vision and take massive action without fear of rejection.
BEST MOMENTS
"I realised that property was the thing that put me in debt. But actually, the only thing that could get me outta debt was property."
"Most people don't wanna change. They're full-time in a job, and they're building their boss's dream. But if you put as much effort into yourself as you do into building your boss's dream, you'd become successful."
"If you've read my book three times and it's not made you a millionaire, reading it a fourth time's not gonna make any difference. But maybe working with the guy who wrote it would."
"I'm not trying to buy a hundred houses. I never did. I just wanted to buy one. I now own over a hundred, but I only ever started to buy one."

Sean and Kevin discuss Reform UK party's housing policies as the UK approaches local elections. They challenge you to question your political allegiances and examine how Reform's proposed housing policies could impact the property market. Kevin talks about brownfield development, landlord incentives and the controversial Section 24 tax, while encouraging listeners to think independently rather than following family or media-influenced voting patterns.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Reform UK proposes accelerating housing projects on brownfield sites, particularly in coastal regions, with a loose fit planning policy to simplify large residential developments
Giving landlords grants or interest-free loans to renovate empty properties could quickly address housing shortages, bringing hundreds of thousands of empty properties back into use more efficiently than new construction.
Reform UK proposes prioritising local residents and those contributing to the system for social housing.
Reform's proposed repeal of Section 24 tax (which removed mortgage interest relief for landlords) could potentially reduce rental costs by bringing more landlords back to the market, increasing available housing stock.
Current landlord regulations are paradoxically driving up rents and forcing stricter tenant criteria, as landlords need more protection and higher margins to compensate for increased risks and costs.
BEST MOMENTS
"I don't vote for anybody, so don't say, 'oh, here's a thing for Reform.' I'm not a fan of anybody. I'm just somebody who believes that the country's needs change. It needs reform."
"The reason that rents are high is because there's a shortage of properties. The reason there's a shortage of properties is because landlords are leaving the market... Not everybody wants to buy. People at university don't want to buy. They want to rent."
"Question how you look at things. Don't be triggered. Be more focused. Don't be triggered. Be more analytical. Don't be triggered. Be more open-minded."
"We have lunatics running the asylum. They've never run a business... How can they run the biggest business that there's ever been? The country... We've got people in there that I wouldn't hire in my business, and it's a small business."

Thank you for sharing your experience. Although moving can be stressful, it is a great opportunity to start something completely new. I am currently looking for a good option in Lithuania. I found many interesting options in the small town of Palanga https://www.kampas.lt/butai-palangoje . It is not so easy to organize a move to a new country, this is worth paying special attention to
are you confusing "freeholders" with "leaseholders"?
where is the "how to"?
almost nothing of substance, and he certainly does not "tell all". such a misleading title. disappointing.
Fantastic Podcast and lots of useful information, Thanks
"Mondays" has no apostrophe. Spelling mistakes look unprofessional.
Wow, Just recently started to listen to you and what a passion, the way you speak about property it is amazing and very informative, love it
Progressive property is one of my favourite popcasts for information on property education
Fantastic podcast found it very engaging so far
Really interesting thanks!!
