Property Pros Spotlight: Sean Spalding

Did you know exactly what you wanted to do after school? No, neither did today's guest, Sean Spalding. He passed some Higher Exams, he had some jobs in retail and sales. He even tried searching down a few different paths with college, university, working with his dad, and even applying to join the police force. Curiously searching around for his path in life, for the route to success and supporting himself and then his family. Have you, or are you, surrounded by people and systems telling you that certain things are just not for your kind of people? Yeah, that's what Sean faced too. He could see signs and examples of how, for example, money and wealth could be achieved through property investing. However, schools and establishments, and even family, dictated that he could easily work IN property in some way, but the real profits and wealth were for some reason only reserved for other types of people. Whatever that actually means. Have you yet found the resilience and determination to just keep going, to just keep looking, and to just keep learning? Good. Cause that's what Sean did. He kept working and grafting. But he also kept his eyes and ears wide open for learnings and opportunities. In today's show, Sean speaks about the various jobs and refurb projects he worked on, and how he was always looking for how the people behind the curtains, the investor owners, were able to find and structure and buy the properties. He speaks about all the lessons and learnings through his work. He speaks about his education through Paul McFadden's Property Protege programme, and how he managed to recoup that investment from his very first deal. Are you looking for inspiration and encouragement in your own journey? Well listen in to Sean's powerful story about his various deals, about the sellers he has helped, the investors he has helped, and other property sourcers that he's done business with. It's an impressive story. And it's a story that is still being written, with a long way to go...
