Simon discusses the pitfalls of investing in property hotspots, using Dubai as an example. He emphasises the risks associated with buying in areas experiencing rapid price increases, such as oversupply and lack of positive cash flow. He also shares personal experiences with off-plan property investments and highlights the importance of researching areas with growing populations for better capital growth potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Think twice about investing in property hotspots due to the potential risks associated with inflated prices and lack of positive cash flow.
• Off-plan property investments, especially in international locations, can pose challenges such as oversupply and currency fluctuations.
• To achieve better than average capital growth, investors should target areas experiencing faster population growth, driven by factors like new infrastructure, incentives, and economic stimulation.
• In any market condition, there are always motivated sellers willing to negotiate on price and terms, providing opportunities for investors to secure properties at favourable terms.

BEST MOMENTS

"I believe if you're holding property long term, don't worry about short term blips up and blips down because we're holding long term."

"I have done it in the past. I have made some money from it. I know a lot of people lose money from it, so you need to be very careful."

"So what I want to do is teach you how you can get better than average capital growth."

"Find areas before they become a hotspot by looking for the areas where you're going to get faster population growth and other areas."

Simon discusses the advantages of buying properties with mortgages compared to buying for cash. He provides numerical examples to illustrate how leveraging mortgages can lead to higher returns and increased cash flow over time. Simon also emphasises the power of using other people's money to invest in property and highlights various creative funding strategies for those with limited capital.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Using mortgages allows for more properties to be purchased, increasing overall cash flow and potential profits.
• Property values tend to increase over time, especially due to the shortage of accommodation and increasing population.
• Various methods, such as rent-to-rent, lease options, vendor finance, joint ventures, or loans, can be utilised when running out of personal funds.
• By leveraging mortgages and multiple properties, the potential return on investment can be significantly higher compared to buying properties outright with cash.

BEST MOMENTS

"But what you need to remember is that when you get a mortgage or using someone else's money to buy a property, it means your deposits can go further and your tenants who rent the property from you, they are going to be more than covering the cost of the mortgage."

"The reality is we live on an island in the UK. There is not enough accommodation. We have the increasing population. So over time, both the rents and property values go up."

"If you have money, whether it's savings, inheritance, money in your business. It's not doing you any favours sitting in the bank. By putting it into property, not only can you get a much better cash flow, you also benefit from that long-term capital growth."
