description: If you have ever wondered if you should invest in property, then this is the article for you. Join veteran commentator and practitioner Matthew Moody as he illustrate four reasons why you should consider investing in property right now.
encoded: It’s a curious question isn’t it. I mean, have you ever read or seen the “Sunday Times Rich List”? The Sunday Times Rich List Its awash with people who are so rich they can’t even count their money. And whilst I’m guessing you may not have any aspirations to be on this list, I’m also going to assume that you’re reading this because you’re not quite sure. In this article I’m going to share four reasons why you should invest in property and what to consider next. If you like what you hear, remember please hit subscribe and like this article. So property. Is it for me. Isn’t it for me? Well, here is one thing a lot of the entries on the Sunday Times Rich List have in common. You guessed it. Property. So while the simple answer may be yes, it’s a little more complicated than that and I want to break it down for you into a few simple ideas based on over 25 years in business and property investment. Let’s kick off with The Doctrine of Self Now when I say self, I mean this in the sense of the understanding that you have, of you the person, the mind, the connection, with everybody and everything on our planet. Photographer: Jr Korpa | Source: Unsplash Now this is not about some hokey pokey religion or trying to convert you to new age thinking . No, this is much more important than this; this is about you truly understanding yourself, what it is you want, what it is you’re prepared to do for it, how you are prepared to live your life and finally how are you going to execute on this; your life, your one shot, your chance. So the doctrine of self is very much about the starting point of your understanding. Because I can tell you property strategies, I can share tactics, I can give you tools, I can show you codes, I can break this all down for you and show you how easy investing in property can be. But if you do not embrace this, does not understand it, is not willing to be open to new ways of thinking, new ways of doing then my work here is in vain. And your time spent taking …

description: Every property investor loves a great property but what about the deals you should never have bought.. In this article, Matthew Moody explains why not every deal is a property worth having.
encoded: Photographer: Gilles Desjardins | Source: Unsplash Over the last 18 years of analysing hundreds and hundreds of properties, I’ve worked out what works and what doesn’t. From that, when I founded my League of Extraordinary Investors, I created the Tenets. The Tenets (or Principles or Beliefs) are based on the way in which an Extraordinary Investor approaches the property market. Each tenet is equally important but this one is a particularly thorny one to get right, especially for new investors. I’ve lost count of the number of deals I’ve turned down because of this tenet but it dwarves the deals I ended up going ahead with. The tenet is dictated to as thus… Not Every Deal is a Property Worth Having What does this mean? Often when a new investor is in the first flushes of learning about property investment, analysis, due diligence and the prospects of retiring early through property investment, they will be pretty keen to find a deal. They will jump onto property portals daily, network with possible sourcing agents, walk the streets (if local), scour the emails and forums and be addicted to waiting for the phone to beep or ring for any hint of a deal that they think would be a good deal. But often deals do not turn up straight away. It takes dedication, commitment and a willingness to forego the attachment to a deal and instead turn it into a purely business decision. And the days turns into weeks and the weeks into months and the new investor is no further along than they thought they would be. Now there are often several reasons why this happens but we’ll discuss that another time in another article relating to the Immutable Laws of Investing. For now though the critical thing to remember is this: Photographer: Jose Aragones | Source: Unsplash STOP! Desperation breeds a certain kind of reckless abandonment and folly which then leads to making rash decisions which then come to bite you in the derriere later on. I speak from experience, so to make the point here’s a w…

encoded: Houses of Parliament (Picture Credit Pixabay) If we consider that we are living in times which few if any of us have ever experienced, then it would be fair to accept that we are uncertain about what the future holds. However in order for us to feel certain again, we must ask ourselves a series of questions in order to move forward and accept the answers. This can be done in the Rational Thinking Test[i]which takes you through a series of questions designed to have you answer them logically. I would encourage you to go through these as they bring up interesting unbiased opinions once having answered the questions. There is a psychological line, and we don’t want to cross it, so we have to deploy critical rational thinking to allow us to pass safely over that line. You need to have an open mind to answer these questions. You need to be able to handle the truth that answering these questions will give you. You need to be comfortable that you may feel uncomfortable with the answers. For each question, you can answer No idea – No – Highly unlikely – Unlikely – Unknown – Maybe – Likely – Probably – Highly likely – Yes Here are the questions: Is this being used to move along a new world order? Is there a virus of some sort? Is the virus killing as many people as they say it is killing? Is it killing some people? Did the virus come from the wet markets? Did the virus come from the lab in Wuhan? Who owns the lab in Wuhan? Was the virus natural? Does the virus have a patent? Is there a vaccine? Is the virus a bio-weapon? Is there a financial motive? Is vaccination profitable? Are there ulterior motives? Are masks necessary at all? Are masks necessary most of the time? Are masks safe? Does Anthony Fauci, Director of National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Dieases have ulterior motives? Is there suppression of one side of the discussion? Did Bill Gates say he wanted to reduce the population? Is there currently any vaccines for this type of virus? Does the test work accurate…

description: When considering buying a HMO or if you already own one, its important to look at how you set up your HMO to be suitable for 20th century living. In this article, Matthew Moody shares 10 things that you can do right away to make your new or existing HMO even better!
encoded: When we consider the changes afoot for the property industry, one thing I’ve seen over the last 16 years owning and managing HMO’s (over 1,000+ rooms over this time period) is that in order to be ahead of the game, it’s important to embrace new changes and ensure that your HMO is fit-for-purpose in today’s world. Photographer: Priscilla Du Preez | Source: Unsplash Here’s a few things for you to consider to improve your HMO. 1. Easier Transparent Contact The way we contact each other is changing. As landlords we need to embrace newer methods of technology and offer tenants a multitude of different ways for them to contact us including: Messenger apps – facebook/whatsapp Email Internet reporting Chat bots Own apps 2. Live & Work Spaces More and more people are living and working in different ways and its important that we recognize this. Tenants are no different to anybody else and we need to embrace this by offering Additional facilities such as work-study desks Faster Broadband More access to local co-working spaces 3. Shorter / Longer Contracts We live in a mobile society where jobs are often for months if not week rather than years. With this more transient society means that we may need to consider short-term contracts (something that does not really exist right now apart from the somewhat spurious licence agreements) so that tenants can move into a unit for a shorter period of time. At the same time, tenants have been pressing for longer term contracts which is again something that may be considered in order to allow for more security of tenancy. This could of course disrupt the internal dynamics of the housemates relations but should be considered as something that will happen and thus we should begin to make compensation for this. Photographer: Adam Jang | Source: Unsplash 4. Community Integration One of the accusations made towards HMO tenants is that they do not integrate with communities. Given that we are under pressure to deliver 300,000 homes, I see no o…

description: There are many myths out there about property investment; in this article I review five of the common myths and why everything you know about property may just be wrong.
encoded: I want to spend some time talking about myths that are going on right now in the property industry, because there are a lot of them, and explain some of the things that are plainly, plainly wrong. So, here goes. Property Myth One The first one that I want to cover is; there is a myth out there that is predicated, and positioned, and proposed by a lot of educators, and training companies, and so-called gurus that to invest in property, you don't need any money. And in fact there's been books written about no money down property investing and I want to debunk the myth that that's actually not true. You do need money to invest in property investment As to how much money you need, that is a different question entirely. So when we look at the amount of money that's required; let's say that you're not going to actually purchase a property, but you're going to do some kind of rent to rent or lease on a property. If you did that, you would have to find the money to pay the first month's rent, and pay the deposit more often than not, potentially pay some admin fees. And you would then need to furnish the property. Now this is because most properties that you're going to rent or lease in order to make a return on the difference between what you're renting it at and what you're renting it out for are going to be done through some kind of HMO or potentially even serviced accommodation combination. So you'll have to get furniture. Now, there are ways in which you could rent furniture for sure, but most people when they're getting started are probably going to buy the furniture outright. Photographer: deborah cortelazzi | Source: Unsplash And you may have to put in things like fire alarm systems. You may even have to get white goods and brown goods. So you're going to be looking at really four, five, six thousand pounds in terms of doing that to get into a rent-to-rent or a lease option. So when people come on and say, "Oh, you don't need any money," that's not true. It's just no…
