Summary

Simon is joined by the amazing Ruth Hunter, a successful property investor who transformed her life from working in the wedding industry to achieving a profit of £100,000 per annum in just three and a half years. Ruth shares her initial challenges, including a daunting first property auction experience and the impact of COVID-19 on her career and finances. She emphasises the importance of education, networking, and taking action, highlighting how she leveraged creative finance strategies and built strong relationships with investors through social media and networking events.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Investing in property requires knowledge and skills. Engaging in courses and networking events can provide the necessary education and support to succeed in property investment. Taking decisive action, such as applying for scholarships or attending networking meetings, can lead to significant opportunities. Persistence and a proactive approach are crucial for success. Exploring creative finance options, such as vendor finance and joint ventures, can help overcome financial barriers and enable property acquisitions without needing substantial upfront capital. Surrounding oneself with positive, like-minded individuals can enhance motivation and provide valuable insights. Engaging with mentors and peers can help navigate challenges and maintain a positive mindset. BEST MOMENTS "I always said if I could buy the builders a beer at the end of it, I'd be happy, but realistically that scared me." "I knew I couldn't do it alone. I knew I needed the training." "If you're going to post and let people know, you've got a much better chance of people finding you than if you keep it a secret." "Don't wait any longer because time is going so quickly. So I would say the first thing is take action now."
