  • Was I wrong about sweat equity? Ben Allan's £100k HMO
    Jan 19 2025

    In this episode I head up to Gateshead to visit Ben Allan as he completes his first HMO conversion, following the advice and support from our Inside HMO Investing programme.

    Starting with a hands-on approach, Ben shares how his background as a joiner helped him tackle nearly every aspect of the renovation himself—saving money, building confidence, and creating a high-yielding property.

    We discuss the challenges he faced, from navigating stressful bridging loans to uncovering hidden surprises in the property, and how he maintained focus on his goal of achieving financial freedom for his growing family.

    With a 40% ROI and tenants moving in just weeks after completion, Ben’s journey is packed with lessons on managing timelines, choosing the right projects, and deciding when sweat equity is worth it.

  • Property investing is HARD, with Sean Toomey
    Jan 8 2025

    If you’ve ever struggled with the mental anguish of running a property business - the highs and lows, the loneliness and isolation, wondering if you’re doing the right thing or if it’s worth all the stress - I just want you to know that you’re not alone.

    A few weeks ago I came across a post on social media from today’s guest, Sean Toomey, that indicated he had been through a struggle on his latest project - juggling debt and finances, as well as seeking some sort of approval or validation from social media - an all too common downside to the property community online.

    So I reached out to him, and thankfully he was up for having a chat with me today about mental health in the property world.

    Through that, we get to understand more about his own property background which is a fascinating story in itself that I’m sure you’ll get some great ideas from, but the main thing we wanted to bring attention to was the very real struggle that many people face when trying to build a business and provide for their families. So I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you ever need to talk, please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or Sean and we’ll do our best to help.

  • Choosing Your Freedom, with Julie Talbot
    Nov 7 2024

    I’ve been banging on for years about property as a means to an end rather than the end itself, so I’m thrilled to share today’s episode with you, with Julie Talbot. Many of you might know her already from social media, and if you’ve been listening to the podcast for long enough you may remember her story from back in 2018 when she first appeared on the show, as an expat living in Abu Dhabi.

    Well, all these years later, she’s still building her portfolio, and still not living in the UK, but now travelling the world as a property nomad with her family, fully demonstrating the ability for property to give you more freedom in your life.

    And not just financial freedom! In fact in this case, a lot of our discussion is centred around choosing time freedom and location freedom over money. And I hope it might help you consider what’s really the most important type of freedom in your life as well - because it absolutely is a choice!

  • Will Labour destroy property investment? Renters' Rights Bill Update
    Jul 18 2024

    The Renters Reform bill has been on the agenda for UK Government since it was first proposed in 2019, but with Labour’s win in the 2024 general election, it looks as though it will be reprioritised by Keir Starmer’s party under a new name - the Renters’ Rights Bill.

    And with the bill being brought forward by a left leaning party, it’s no surprise that the focus will be on providing more security and protection for tenants while ensuring landlords know their responsibilities.

    In today's episode, we'll explore the key elements of the Renters' Reform Bill and what it means for property investors and residential landlords in the UK.

    Find all of the details here: https://www.insidepropertyinvesting.com/renters-rights-bill/
