Channel: Your First Four Houses

[0]
how do you really start a buy-to-let
[1]
property investment business in today's
[4]
market let me give you the ten things I
[6]
think you need to consider hi there my
[21]
name is Tony law for your first four
[22]
houses my channel is all about helping
[24]
you get to investment property number
[25]
four as quickly and as painlessly as
[27]
possible so let me give you these ten
[30]
things I feel you need to have at the
[32]
forefront of your mind in order to be
[34]
successful in this property investing
[37]
world of ours the very first one is to
[40]
you need to understand your financial
[42]
goals so let me give you a specific way
[44]
that you should do this you basically
[46]
need to understand how much money you're
[49]
spending every single month download
[51]
three months worth of bank statements
[53]
work out what you're actually spending
[55]
every single month and that is the
[58]
target that you need to hit essentially
[61]
to be financially free
[62]
the sooner you hit that target the
[65]
sooner you can kind of basically give up
[66]
the day job essentially and focus far
[69]
far more of your energy on building your
[71]
property portfolio when you know what
[74]
that number actually is now I run a
[76]
paperless office largely but when you
[79]
know what that number is I need you to
[80]
do something very manual for me I need
[83]
you to go and draw up one of these it's
[85]
effectively the kind of thing that you'd
[86]
see if you were trying to raise finance
[88]
for a particular project at the top of
[91]
it you're going to have that target that
[93]
number that you've just worked out
[95]
running up the side you're going to have
[97]
integers at about say 500 pounds a
[100]
little Mark's going up the side and
[102]
whenever you do a deal that puts money
[104]
in your pocket you need to color that in
[107]
it may sound primitive but it's
[109]
incredibly powerful I've recommended
[111]
this to a lot of people they use it and
[114]
they find it really really helps them
[115]
keep focused so moving on quickly to
[118]
point number two you need to work out
[120]
how much time you can give to this so
[123]
really if you're working full time that
[125]
doesn't mean that you haven't got time
[127]
to do this you've got your lunch times
[128]
you've got your evenings and you've
[130]
usually got your weekends how much
[132]
can you give to this the more time you
[134]
can give the better and faster results
[137]
you're going to achieve next number
[139]
three I need you to start building your
[141]
education now there's a number of ways
[143]
that you can do this you can look at
[144]
podcasts you can get books webinars you
[147]
can employ a coach mentor you can look
[149]
some courses but the sooner that you can
[151]
build your knowledge
[152]
the sooner you're going to barely
[153]
achieve bigger and better deals and one
[156]
of the specific things that I'd like you
[158]
to consider if maybe this is an area of
[160]
weakness for you is to maybe get some
[162]
training on negotiation because this is
[165]
a real key thing that will really help
[167]
you when you're speaking to agents or
[169]
when you're speaking specifically to
[170]
sellers so please look into that number
[173]
four the sooner that you can focus on
[175]
picking your strategy
[177]
the sooner you're going to be successful
[178]
now I like people to sort of focus on
[180]
maybe one or two core strategies while
[183]
they're having more of a shotgun
[185]
approach it's better to be more laser
[187]
focused so see if you can work out which
[189]
one or two core strategies would work
[191]
really well for you and start focusing
[193]
on those number five research the
[196]
different areas and work out where you
[199]
should be actually buying now I did a
[201]
video recently on this that basically
[203]
gives you a really detailed explanation
[204]
on how to work out supply and demand on
[206]
any area within about 60 seconds but you
[209]
need to look at other things in the area
[211]
that you're actually looking at what's
[213]
the situation with regards to perhaps
[215]
new employment
[216]
what about transport links are they
[218]
being improved specifically what about
[220]
population is there an increase or
[222]
decline that you've noticed all of these
[224]
things can really dictate the better
[226]
areas to actually invest point number
[229]
six go and see a mortgage broker you
[232]
need to find out what kind of mortgages
[235]
you can get and again I did another
[236]
video here on how to actually improve
[239]
your credit rating I would strongly
[241]
suggest that you watch that that will
[243]
give you some real key tips to improve
[244]
your credit rating which is going to
[246]
mean you'll get better access to better
[248]
mortgages at lower rates number seven
[251]
you need to learn how to find great
[254]
deals now I know that this is a massive
[256]
topic and we could go into this in a
[259]
much in a lot more detail but
[261]
essentially you do need to understand
[263]
how to find better deals
[265]
you need to learn very specifically what
[267]
makes a good deal for you and honestly
[271]
this is a real key thing you may have no
[273]
funds at all but if you can find and
[276]
negotiate really good deals
[277]
you're never honestly you'll never have
[280]
problem raising the funds I'll invest
[283]
with you if you can find really good
[285]
deals but in essence there's lots of
[287]
people around you that will be delighted
[289]
to sort of put money into the deals if
[291]
you can find them next start building
[294]
connections so when I say that I'm
[296]
talking about connections with agents
[298]
and talking about connections with deal
[300]
sources and talking about connections
[302]
with people who can help you fund your
[304]
next deal the sooner you start building
[306]
genuine sincere honest full-on
[310]
relationships friendships with people
[313]
honestly the sooner you're going to
[315]
actually be successful in this property
[317]
world of ours number 9 is simply exit
[321]
strategy so many people I talk to to
[324]
have no clear exit strategy they don't
[326]
really understand their exit strategy at
[329]
all when I always encourage people to
[331]
consider two exit strategies and I would
[334]
love you to do the same so even before
[336]
you buy that very first property just
[338]
consider are you holding this for the
[340]
long term is this a flip that you want
[342]
to churn to get the money out very very
[344]
quickly if things don't work out is
[346]
there a second way out for you and
[349]
number 10 and this is the big one this
[353]
is where so many people stumble and that
[356]
is you have to to take action now I know
[359]
that seems bleeding lis obvious but so
[362]
many people they kind of build their
[364]
knowledge they learn learn learn but
[366]
they stop at the action taking point
[369]
frankly I don't really understand this
[371]
if I'm being truthful with you I think I
[373]
think it's largely down to fear quite
[375]
often and so quite often perhaps having
[378]
somebody behind you that's maybe got
[380]
their hand in the small of your back and
[381]
just sort of pushing you forwards or
[383]
just giving you a bit of a shelf to
[385]
actually take that action might be
[387]
really beneficial for you and let me ask
[390]
you a question
[391]
how many properties have you actually
[393]
been out to sea this week or this month
[396]
if the answer is none then you're not
[400]
taking any action I would respectfully
[402]
suggest so you need to take that action
[404]
I really hope that you found that
[407]
helpful I just want people to be
[408]
successful in this property world of
[411]
ours and to get to that magical place
[413]
where the income that's coming in
[415]
surpasses the money that's going out and
[418]
if this sort of stuff really helps you I
[420]
am absolutely over the moon my name is
[423]

[425]
