What do you have to do? What do you have to avoid? Listen in now to know more. KEY TAKEAWAYS It was his landlord when he was still in the university who introduced him to the concept of property investment and its benefits. As soon as he graduated from college, Simon was eager to build his work experience and land a worthwhile first job. He applied to every job opening he liked, and he got great job offers. When buying properties, always look at the numbers—annual rental, cost for renovation and repairs, insurance, taxes, etc. Never decide with your emotions; Don’t buy something because you love it or you have close ties with the owner. The properties should be considered as your own ‘cash machine’. They must increase your income. Simon saw the need of having connections while growing his property portfolio. So, he did—he met and built new relationships. But, sadly, none of it was directly helpful to his property investing career, so he thought of building a network of people like him. Thus, he founded the property investors network (pin) in 2003. There are at least 50 pin meetings across the globe. The biggest mistake Simon made is treating property investment as a hobby he did on a side. BEST MOMENTS “You don’t need 20 houses to become financially independent. For most people, less than five good investment properties could be more than enough to replace your income.” “I took massive action, and that paid off.” “I believe that investing in property could make you more money than anything you could ever do.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Robbins - https://www.tonyrobbins.com Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People’s Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi | Amazon property investors network (pin) - pinmeeting.co.uk.
