    Ep 113: Are you leaving money on the table with Vicki Wusche

    Ep 113: Are you leaving money on the table with Vicki Wusche

    This week, I pulled back the curtain on my life in this industry, sharing the beats of property viewings and negotiations. 
     
    With tales of a four-hour drive to scope out prospects, and the stamina needed to tackle ten viewings in a single day, I weave a narrative of a profession that's as demanding as it is rewarding. 
     
    It's a glimpse into a world where strategy and knowledge are currency, and where every deal struck is a step closer to harmonising our personal and professional tunes.
     
    Managing a property concierge and project management service is akin to conducting an orchestra; it's about ensuring each section comes in at the right time, creating a symphony of success. 
     
    This episode reveals the art of juggling commitments, from month-long trips to the Maldives to staying plugged into the pulse of the business. 
     
     
    For those poised to dive into property investment or ignite their own sourcing venture, this episode is a mentor's guiding hand.

    Ep 110: A to Z of investing – What you need to know with Jay Rooney

    Ep 110: A to Z of investing – What you need to know with Jay Rooney

    Episode 110: A to Z of investing – What you need to know with Jay Rooney
     
     
    Welcome back to another episode of "A Wealthy Life," where we explore the intricate world of financial planning for a secure retirement. 
     
    We're joined again by Jay Rooney, a dual expert in pensions and property investment, who helps unravel the complexities of creating a robust retirement strategy. 
     
    Together, we compare the pros and cons of property investment and pensions, examining types of pensions like defined contribution schemes and how they stack up against the allure of property investing. 
     
    Jay provides valuable insights into why it might not be advisable to use self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) for residential property investments due to potential heavy taxes and fines, while also shedding light on the benefits of commercial property investment within a pension.
     
    The choice between property and pensions can be daunting, but fear not, as we discuss strategies that can lead to a secure financial future. 
     
    Business owners, in particular, will find our conversation on using retained profits to reduce corporation tax through pension contributions especially intriguing, as well as the potential for leveraging intercompany loans for property investments.
     
    We discuss the direct control property investments can provide and contrast it with the benefits of pensions, particularly the tax advantages and the way they can be passed on to beneficiaries. 
     
    The conversation also covers how a well-managed pension can outlive the holder and continue to provide for future generations.
     
    If you're curious about how financial education has evolved and why it's so vital today, or you're pondering the use of ISAs for your savings, then this episode is an essential listen.

    Ep 109: What’s the number one rule of property investing?

    Ep 109: What’s the number one rule of property investing?

    In today’s episode we unravel the intricate world of property investing, where one size does not fit all. 
     
    We kick things off by exploring how personal goals and circumstances shape the investment strategies you should consider, whether it's leveraging serviced accommodations like Airbnb, mastering HMO strategies, or navigating the complexities of rent-to-rent arrangements. 
     
    Discover how to tailor your approach to property investing to your unique situation, aligning your mindset with your financial aspirations for success.
     
    In this discussion, we dissect the balance between chasing capital gains and building a consistent cash flow, a critical decision that aligns with your stage in life and financial goals.
     
    From young professionals to those eyeing retirement, planning for financial independence is key, and we tackle the nuances of property development as a potential avenue for the experienced investor. 
     
    Get insights into the resources you need to get started and how they shape your journey into the property market, whether you're taking the reins yourself or collaborating with a sourcing agent.
     
    I share insights from my recent webinar with Female Invest, comparing traditional savings accounts to real estate investments, and stress the importance of financial resilience. 
     
    Thanks for tuning in, and may your investments reflect your ambitions.

    Ep 108 - Hard Hats and High Heels Part 1 - Hayley Andrews

    Ep 108 - Hard Hats and High Heels Part 1 - Hayley Andrews

    The world of property investment often presents a landscape dominated by suits and ties, but Hayley Andrews strides through it with remarkable grace and acumen. 
     
    In this episode, I sit down with Hayley to hear about her evolution from a first-time homeowner to a property developer and a TV personality who's rewriting the narrative for women in real estate. 
     
    Her story isn't just about the bricks and mortar of homes but also about the grit and determination it takes to succeed in a sphere where few women tread.
     
    Listen in for a masterclass on the mechanics of real estate investment as Hayley takes us through the nitty-gritty of her strategy. 
     
    From retaining her initial property for rental income to leveraging the intricacies of mortgage products for wealth creation, she lays bare the decisions that have cemented her financial success. 
     
    Hayley's pivot to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) unveils the power of cash flow in property investment and the importance of continuous education in refining one's approach.
     
    But Hayley's impact in the property world isn't just through her own investments—she's also a guiding light to many as a mentor.
     
    In our conversation, she shares the fulfilling experience of guiding others on their own property journeys, from those making tentative first steps to others diving into multimillion-pound projects. 
     
    So, listen in and get ready to be inspired by Hayley's story and the invaluable lessons it holds for all aspiring property investors.
