Business
David is sat under his tree wearing his Santa hat, reflecting on the last twelve months, readying himself for 2020, and readying himself to share some deal-packaging wisdom. Deal packaging is very simple. It’s about finding an investor, finding out what that investor wants, and the finding a deal that meets that criteria. This week’s episode is a Christmas gift for you; a brief guide on finding those investors and finding those right deals! KEY TAKEAWAYS Pick two property network events near you and attend them every single month! If you go every month you’ll soon become a part of that community. You’ll sell deals so much easier. Build your brand online. Facebook still rules. Post from day one, and tell the world about your deal packaging business. Post at least three times a week. Visit two estate agents over the Christmas period. Practice what you’re going to say and find two offices near to where you want to operate, but not IN the area. The first few times will be clunky, but you’re only there to hone your script! Letting Agents are key to the success of your business, as investors like agents to take care of properties on their behalf. Build relationships early. Google Docs, Zapier, Podio and Answer are systems will make your life so much easier, and which will automate many of the most distracting, time-consuming tasks that consume your day. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you’ve got investor and you’ve got deals, then you have a business!’ ‘It’s Christmas, right? We want to keep it nice and simple’ ‘Maybe that’s why you’re tuning in, because it’s real’ ’Systems are going to make your life so much easier’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Get Into Property - by David Siegler - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1909846589/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=David+Siegler&qid=1570019066&s=gateway&sr=8-6 Podio - www.podio.com Zapier - www.zapier.com Answer - https://www.answer.co.uk/default.aspx ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units. His current rent roll is in excess of £10k per month. He is also a partner in a Deal Sourcing and Packaging business in the North West of England and has sourced over 250 properties for investors since 2004. In recent years he has, by necessity, had to develop an expertise in LHA strategies. This area is increasingly becoming a niche for him, and he enjoys empowering other landlords by sharing the knowledge he has gained. The ultimate purpose when sourcing properties in this sector for investors is to minimise risk while maximising profit. He has had to find answers to the challenges of Tenant Find, Management, ensuring rents are paid and the transition to Universal Credit. These are strategies he uses in his own business and also on behalf of investors. His investor clients regularly achieve annual gross yields of over 20% with high occupancy rates and voids resolved, sometimes within hours.
