Is Now a Bad Time to Invest or a Golden Opportunity?

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean and Kevin tackle the burning question: is now a bad time to invest or a golden opportunity? Kevin shares contrarian wisdom about market timing, revealing why professionals continue making deals while amateurs wait for the perfect moment that never exists. With over 120 properties in his portfolio, Kevin gives advice on navigating uncertain markets, spotting opportunities when others panic and why housing will always remain a fundamental need—even in an AI-dominated future. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Don't try to time the market. Focus on finding good deals that work now rather than waiting for the "perfect" moment to buy.
  • Down markets create the best buying opportunities because motivated sellers fear prices dropping further, allowing you to negotiate better discounts.
  • Property remains a fundamental human need regardless of economic conditions or technology changes, people will always need somewhere to live.
  • Choose a strategy you'll actually implement in your local area. Deal packaging, rent-to-rent, service accommodation, or HMOs can all work when done right.
  • Government housing promises rarely materialise as planned because they benefit from higher property values that generate more tax revenue.
  • Economic downturns increase demand for affordable housing like HMOs as people look to save money by sharing accommodations with bills included.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"The amateurs wait till the market's gone up. They wait till the media tell them the market's gone up so they know which house to buy. Most people take their advice from their mate down the pub, their mate at work, their parents, or the media, and none of them have ever bought a house." 

"I have never seen anybody lose money when they held onto the house. Why? Because you ride it out and it goes back up. If you buy right, you'll always make money. And then when the market drops, you just ride it out and you survive." 

"Everyone is gonna need a home to live in. Property is the one thing that everybody needs. Food and housing, but food can be made artificial. Housing will always be housing because people will always need shelter."

"You can either make excuses or make money, but you're not making both. Two types of people listening to this podcast, those that let the world happen to them and those that create their own world. Which one are you?"

How to Protect Your Portfolio Against Economic Uncertainty

Hosts
Sean Fitzpatrick Kevin McDonnell
Keywords
property portfolio economic uncertainty creative financing market dynamics due diligence exit strategy mindset investment strategies

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean and Kev explore tactics for protecting your property portfolio, including creative financing methods and overlooked opportunities. Whether you're an experienced investor or just beginning, Sean and Kev share knowledge that could potentially save you thousands.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Understanding market dynamics is essential before investing; analyse local trends, employment rates and development plans to identify areas with strong growth potential.
  • Creative financing strategies can unlock deals even in tight credit markets; leveraging joint ventures, private money and seller financing options increases your investment possibilities.
  • Building a reliable power team of professionals (solicitors, agents, contractors) is as important as finding the right property. The right connections can provide off market deals and save thousands in unexpected costs.
  • Due diligence is always essential, thorough inspection of property condition and legal aspects prevents costly surprises.
  • The right exit strategy should be determined before purchase, clarity on your endgame affects every aspect of the investment decision.
  • Mindset separates successful investors from the rest! Continuous learning, resilience through setbacks,and surrounding yourself with positive influences creates the foundation for sustainable property investment success.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"Property investment isn't about getting rich overnight; it's about making informed decisions that build wealth consistently over time. I've seen too many people rush in with emotion rather than analysis."

"The biggest mistake new investors make is thinking that the deal ends at purchase. That's when the real work begins, managing effectively, controlling costs, and executing your strategy with discipline."

"I've seen properties that looked perfect on paper become nightmares because investors skipped proper surveys. That £500 saved upfront cost one client over £30,000 in structural repairs that could have been negotiated into the purchase price."

"Market cycles are inevitable, but opportunities exist in every market. When others panic and sell, that's often the precise moment smart investors should be looking to acquire strategically."

Sean's Success Stories: Get Out of Your Own Way with Willie Peterson

Hosts
Sean Fitzpatrick Kevin McDonnell
Guests
Willie Peterson
Keywords
mindset property investing no-money-down deal investment capital vendor financing creative structuring authentic relationships financial freedom

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean interviews Willie Peterson, who learnt how to get out of his own way by training with Progressive. Willie shares how his life changed after meeting Kevin McDonald at a Progressive event, which completely shifted his mindset about property investing. From executing an award winning no-money-down deal in South Africa to raising hundreds of thousands in investment capital, Willie shows how anyone can overcome limiting beliefs and create win-win property deals—even without starting capital.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Willie's journey from corporate IT professional to award winning property investor demonstrates how shifting your mindset can open doors you never thought possible.
  • By using creative structuring behind his no money down deal in South Africa, Willie acquired a restaurant with commercial properties by understanding the seller's core needs and creating vendor financing solutions.
  • Willie turned a chance encounter at a rural restaurant into a multi-property deal that benefited everyone involved. He gave the seller more than their asking price while requiring zero capital from Willie himself.
  • He raised £600,000-£800,000 from investors in just weeks by focusing on authentic relationships rather than simply chasing money, emphasising the importance of alignment in values and vision.
  • Property success isn't about luck but rather recognising opportunities and taking decisive action, what Kevin McDonald calls "labour under correct knowledge" (LUCK).

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

"You don't realise how bad your old mindset prevented you from achieving greater things in life. I realised I was in my own way and that's one of the major things that I learned at Progressive is to get out of your way and think differently."

 

"If you told me 12 months ago that I would go down to South Africa, sort out a personal problem, then go and have breakfast at a place in the middle of nowhere and three months later bought the restaurant with two commercial properties and do a lease option of a property behind that and paid absolutely zero money for it... I would've thought you bonkers."

 

"The main message we also give to potential investors is that the fact that you've got money doesn't mean we're gonna work with you. 'Cause we need to align on a few things, principles, and work ethics."

"If you want something different, you have to change something, right? Because if you don't change something, you're only going to get the same thing as you always got."

Sean's Success Stories: Creating Your Own Pension Through Property with Nick Armstrong

Hosts
Sean Fitzpatrick Kevin McDonnell
Guests
Nick Armstrong
Keywords
property investing financial freedom quantity surveyor portfolio HMOs serviced accommodation RENT2RENT No Money Down mentorship estate agents interest rates

https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/

Sean interviews Nick Armstrong, a quantity surveyor who has changed his life through property investing. Nick shares how he went from working long hours in construction to building an impressive portfolio of 18 properties. Nick also shares how he leveraged Progressive's network, mentorship and creative strategies to achieve financial freedom through the right property education and community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Nick owns 18 properties (soon to be 19) mostly in Northern England, providing enough income to support both him and his wife, allowing them to leave their full time jobs.
  • Progressive Property taught Nick multiple strategies beyond traditional property investing, including HMOs, serviced accommodation, and RENT2RENT approaches that don't require property ownership.
  • Building relationships with estate agents and managing agents has been important to Nick's success, leading directly to profitable deals and ongoing property opportunities.
  • The No Money Down course teaches strategies to control properties without using your own funds, making property investing accessible to those without significant capital.
  • Nick found the support system through Progressive's mentorship programs and WhatsApp groups invaluable, providing solutions to challenges and connecting with like minded investors.
  • Interest rate changes have created challenges, but the right team and proper advice from Progressive have helped Nick navigate these fluctuations while maintaining his portfolio.

 

BEST MOMENTS

"We've now built up a substantial portfolio that provides us with hopefully an income for life. That's the life changing experience we've had, we will have something that's equivalent to our pension for life."

"The tools that we've learned since we've gone through the Progressive process has been absolutely life changing for us really."

"You come to these meetings and you have a little chat with people and it really stirs you up and gives you encouragement. You come away absolutely boiled up from who you've spoken to, what you've learned, and what you think you can achieve in your business throughout the next month."

"When I speak to people about property, most of them turn around and say, 'If I had the money, I would like to get into property.' And when you actually explain they could do it without putting any money down or very little money down, initially there's disbelief."
