FREE “HOW TO BUY + SELL” PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COURSE

LEARN HOW TO ESCAPE THE
9-5 & improve your INCOME THROUGH PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

With the knowledge, gained from five full renovations since 2012 – that have cleared 7 figures in net profit (please note, these do not include work done for clients). I tailor my approach to make things as stress free and easy as possible for you.

I remember what it was like facing the prospect of developing a property, without much money or knowledge and how insurmountable some of the issues seemed at the time, like not being able to instal a new sewage system because it was on the neighbours land (I could not complete the sale without the system installed). Or being refused mortgages from every high street lender, even refused borrowing from bridging loan companies. Yet going on to raise £200,000 and get a holiday let completed to an award winning standard and open for letting before the deadline.

I can’t promise that I can take away all the peaks and troughs, but forewarned is forearmed and all that, and what I have learnt along the way will certainly help smooth out the path and save you from some of the pocket hits that were my learnings along the way!

When I started out, I researched course after course on property renovation and property development to help me get up and running a bit more quickly and whilst a lot of them seemed promising, none of them seemed to offer insights from someone who was in the same position as I found myself in – lots of energy and ambition, keen to learn but low on budget and actual building knowledge.

So, now I’ve got five of my own property developments behind me, with two of them having generated £165,000 a year, in relatively passive income. I feel like I might have some insights to share with others that could have helped keen bean, startout boy George on his way a bit quicker.

Spoiler alert: if you’re looking for the version where this was all easy and happened overnight, you’re probably looking at the wrong course.  I can share what I wish I had known before I started and I know it will add value and take some pain out of the process, but before you start visualising the £ signs, property development isn’t for the faint hearted, it will be stressful, you will in all likelihood find problems you weren’t expecting to find and you’ll probably cry into your duvet sometimes along the way…

Are you still with me and interested to hear more?  Great, then you’ve probably got the foundation it takes to do a successful property development. So, here’s what’s on offer in each course.

There is a dedicated website, you will have a unique login in so you can access anytime you need to. You can go back over any sections as many times as you need to – working at a speed that suits for you. Each unit has an overview explanation.
There is then a video explaining the concepts of the unit with real life examples.
The most important bit is the PDF workbook, it’s at the bottom of each page. This can be downloaded and printed off to create a physical workbook that can be referenced going forward. Practically going through the work is what helps to cement the learning.

Its said that it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill.

Well, since 2012 I have done well over my 10,000 hours in property renovation and development. Now I can just look at a lot of things and intuitively know the answer or solution. This is not because I’m special or gifted, I’ve just put the time in, made the mistakes and learnt along the way;

All the knowledge gained from this has been neatly packaged up in this easy to follow step by step guide for you.

To build something solid (be it your new career or lifestyle) the first and most important step is that you start with a solid foundation. Much like a house, a business or venture needs to be sustainable, it needs to be recession proof, it needs to capable of going through lean times. Most importantly there should always be a plan B in case the worst does happen. Making sure you are safe in the bad times is just as important as being profitable in the good times.

Disclaimer: I can share tips and advice but I can’t guarantee that your project will work or be profitable, that’s really down to you and what you do as you go along, but researching and preparing yourself for what’s ahead is a good start on the path to avoiding property development potholes, so well done you!

My first renovation for holiday let started out as a renovation for a house to sell, it then changed lanes to a holiday let halfway through and in my first year of trading as Otterhead House we had a six-figure turnover with 40% net profit.

I learnt a lot on that project especially, and I’ve parcelled it all up, so you don’t have to repeat the mistakes I made along the way, because some of them were costly and there’s no need for anyone else to repeat them – I certainly won’t.

It was naivety on my part that caused the issues and although there’s no better way to learn, my fruitless efforts to find the answers along the way absolutely gave rise to me wanting to commit all this knowledge to paper – some of the answers were so obvious . . . . after the event!

I used to read the books where some bloke was writing it from his laptop on the beach and I would think it was all a load of bullsh*t – I’ve lived in tropical paradises, whilst collecting passive income from property. It is possible, but you need to put the work in and create a solid strategy.

In the current chapter of my life, I’m back to developing stunning lifestyle properties in the UK and choosing to spend the winter months surfing in my second home (Lombok, Indonesia).
