In this episode, Alex & Pooh discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding getting started

with property development. Including the fact that even if you decide to enter the market

using the rent-to-rent model you will still need to make a significant upfront investment,

which with the current levels of competition is also going to be quite risky. They then outline

a way to make money out of property that requires hardly any of the upfront investment or

risk – lead generation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Owning property is still a good way to make money and pass something onto your
  
  kids, but it is far from the only way to make cash from property.


• Typically, the rent-to-rent model costs circa £8,000 upfront.


• Lead generation requires hardly any up-front costs yet still offers you a way to earn a
  
  substantial income.


• Once you know what you are doing, lead generation is a low stress way to earn a
  
  living.


• If you are doing lead generation, be realistic. As with any thing you are new to it will
  
  take time to learn and get your first lead, but from there you will typically gain
  
  momentum.


• No matter how mature your lead generation business is, there will be times when
  
  bookings are slow, at which point you will need to work harder and innovate.


• Operating ethically is essential if you want to be successful. Both hosts and clients
  
  need to know they can trust you. If they have any doubts, they will quickly go
  
  elsewhere.


• You need to be prepared to do your due diligence.

BEST MOMENTS

“There are things you can do with property to start generating really good cash flow and

income to replace your job or salary, without needing much money upfront.”

“People still say - rent to rent is the right way to get into property if you don't have any

money, which simply isn't true.”

“I’ve seen it too often where people spend the money thats not theirs first…then have to

refund it back to the client.”

“We are always 100% transparent with all with of our partners.”

“We're not trying to squeeze everybody to death, that’s unethical, but we’re trying to make

sure that everybody wins so we can keep repeating the business again and again.”
