The Power of Community: How Networking Transformed Stephen's Property Journey
Manage episode 490439745 series 2631116
Simon welcomes Stephen Blunson, a successful property investor who shares his inspiring journey from military service to achieving over £100,000 in property income. Stephen discusses his early passion for property, the importance of involving his partner in the investment process, and the value of community support through programs like Mastermind.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Concentrating on a small geographical area, ideally no more than two postcodes, allows for a deeper understanding of the local market, enabling better deal identification and relationship building with local agents and landlords.
Bringing a partner into the property investment journey can provide essential support and motivation, ensuring both parties are aligned and informed about the investment process.
Engaging with a community of like-minded individuals, such as those in a Mastermind program, can provide valuable insights, support, and accountability, which are crucial for success in property investing.
Taking action, such as viewing properties and making offers, is more important than overanalyzing strategies. Many potential investors get stuck in their heads, complicating the process instead of moving forward.
BEST MOMENTS
"I decided to focus on a very specific area... once you become an absolute expert in the area, anything has the potential to become a deal."
"I found that a lot of landlords have this hope and desire that maybe their kids will take over the portfolio, but the kids don't want to know."
"It's the relationships, it's the knowledge, it's the support... just getting a bit of a sense check for other people who may be local to that area as well."
"Every single one of my deals has fallen through and then it's come back. If you persist and persevere, it more than likely will come back."
