Send us Fan MailWhat happens when an investment intended to create freedom becomes another demanding job?In this episode, Peter Boolkah speaks with UK property investor, educator and Property Magic author Simon Zutshi about generating property income without personally managing every tenant, transaction and maintenance problem.Simon explains how renting rooms in his first Birmingham home covered his mortgage and bills, how he replaced his Cadbury’s salary through property, and why he built the property investors network to help investors learn from experienced people rather than make every mistake themselves.The conversation also explores the early development of CrowdProperty, the difference between property-backed peer-to-peer lending and equity crowdfunding, and the importance of understanding risk before investing.You’ll discover:Why cash flow matters more than the romance of owning propertyHow outsourcing management can prevent an investment becoming another jobWhy specialist knowledge can matter as much as starting capitalHow a trusted network and “power team” can accelerate progressWhy rising markets can make inexperienced investors look successfulHow education helps investors prepare before market conditions changeWhy guarantees can remove risk for prospective customersHow CrowdProperty began as an idea at a business eventThe difference between peer-to-peer lending and equity crowdfundingWhy continuous learning is essential in changing marketsWhat to establish before entering a joint ventureWhy responsibilities, milestones and accountability should be documentedSimon’s three principles for entrepreneurs are simple: keep an open mind, invest in your education and always complete your own due diligence.Important: This conversation was recorded in 2017.
