The Truth About Creative Finance

Can you really buy a property with no money? Do you always need a huge deposit in order to seal a deal?   In this week’s show, Simon tells you the truth about creative finance, and the inventive ways in which you can invest in property without using large sums of your own money.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   It’s crucial to stop thinking about the number of deals you can do, or the size of the deals you can do, based on the financial resources you have. You need to alter your mind-set completely. The easiest way of jumping into property investment is to realise the potential we have at our fingertips. Often we have equity in properties, and we don’t realise it. Releasing equity can allow us to invest, and even lead to replacing our income. Even if you don’t have financial resources, motivation and time can be sufficient drivers to allow us access to the property ladder. When thinking about using other people’s money, the misconception is that you are somehow begging. Reframe these loans as opportunities for making money on both sides.   BEST MOMENTS   ’There are more creative ways in which you can buy money using none of your own money’ ‘Many people have equity, but they don’t realise that they can use it’ ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’ ‘If you educate yourself, then you minimise risks and maximise your return'   VALUABLE RESOURCES   Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi   To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2   Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk    ABOUT THE HOST   Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.
