I have had a question from a young lady called Val. I’ve known Val for a while. She purchased my Quick Start Guide To Buying Your First Investment Property and The Accelerator Plan for building a portfolio, so I’ve been giving Val a little bit of advice and help. I hope she wont mind me…
One thing that alarms me slightly is the number of people who appear to come into property with very naïve expectations that everything is always going to go well. There is something to be said for that because I’d much rather that someone is positive not negative, I’d much rather that someone’s got an optimistic…
There is a quality we need as property investors which I don’t often see discussed. In fact, I don’t think I have seen any videos on this, although maybe there are some out there that I haven’t seen. I certainly haven’t seen any training courses on this. The quality that I think that we need…
I’ve had a question in from a viewer asking ‘What are the responsibilities of a landlord?’. There’s two different ways at looking at this. Firstly, from a moral point of view the responsibility of the landlord is to provide good, safe, sound, watertight, good quality properties so that the tenant can live in relative comfort.…
A question I am sometimes asked is ‘how do I know what type of property to buy?’ which is a great question. The starting point for me would be maybe a bit of a convoluted process, but I think it’s really important to get the foundations right. Firstly, sit back and consider why do I…

One of the questions I’m often asked is, “Peter, when you buy a property, what yield are you after?” Sounds like a good question, doesn’t it? Maybe even a sensible question. But I realised when I’d answered it for the 100th time that that’s not actually how I look at a property. Or how I…
In this Property Spotlight video I talk about my latest project and where I source my property deals, as well as lifting the lid on my view of estate agents! I’m often asked, “What’s the best way to find great property investment deals?” Sometimes the simplest answer is the best answer. Here’s to successful property…
The final part of Sam’s question, whether he should invest locally or in a different part of the country, and whether the BRR model is right for him. This is a big dilemma for many investors. Should I keep it local? But what if local is really expensive? And isn’t it easier to recycle and…
In this video I answer the third part of Sam’s question and whether he should consider buying a home from his wife’s family to avoid agency fees, and how tracking your credit score can help you invest. In my opinion successful property investing comes down to looking at the bigger picture and doing whatever will…
