Simon discusses his journey from university to becoming a successful property investor. Including, his initial struggles, financial difficulties and the influence his first landlord had on how he runs his business.   He and Alex discuss mindset, leveraging strategic knowledge and meeting the challenges of the current high prices and more restrictive regulations.    KEY TAKEAWAYS   Property investing has its challenges, but it is also much easier than people think. You just have to follow the right process. High property prices do not make it impossible to get started in the business, Simon explains how to do so even if you have no money. Rent-to-rent, rent-to-buy or vendor options are low upfront investment property models anyone can potentially follow. As long as you have a reasonable credit rating you can secure a buy-to-let mortgage. There are risks in property, but if you are investing for the long-term they are a lot lower. Position yourself to take advantage of downturns. Always take full responsibility for your decisions. Be pragmatic, when things change, work out a new process and follow it. Having the right mindset and self-belief are vital. Never stop learning and adapting. If you don´t have a job, you have time. Use it to learn how to make money and acquire more skills. Right now, purchase lease options have a lot of potential. But you need to understand the business model. If you don´t have that knowledge work with people who do. As soon as you can, pay someone else to manage your properties so you can focus on buying. If you don´t buy more you won´t grow.   BEST MOMENTS   "A lot of people think about things but never take action. I´ve always been an action-taker."   "If you have the right mindset and belief and knowledge, there's always opportunities."   "Some people start with no money."   "I think there's so much opportunity in the market right now ."
