Observe The Masses And Do The Opposite

Most property investors simply look around, copy the strategies being used by everyone else, and then wonder why they can't find great property deals. As Simon explains in this week's show, it might be time to change the way we approach our own property investment plans... KEY TAKEAWAYS Look for sellers, not for property. Most sellers are not motivated. They have a single property and are looking to maximise their profit. We need to look for the smaller subset of sellers who are open to deals. Never stop marketing and advertising. Many stop advertising during certain periods of the year, but this is the very reason you should be doing it during those times. Your voice will be amplified. Don't try to buy property in the room at property auctions. Sometimes there are bargains to be had, but auctions are often overcrowded, and you'll end up paying more for a property than you would if the sale was conducted outside. A seller usually has a problem that they need solving. If we help enough people to get what they want, you'll get what you want. BEST MOMENTS 'To find really good deals, you need to think differently and act differently from every other investor' 'We need to look for motivated sellers and then work out if the property is something we want to take on or not' 'Instead of just thinking about you, think about the agent...' 'Try and help the seller of the property solve their problem, instead of selling to them' 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.
