Mark Jackson's Top Tips

1. Have the right attitude – and keep it:

Develop a successful attitude by actively creating a positive mindset, working on your self-control, becoming more disciplined, focused, and by learning from your mistakes. Crowd out weeds of doubt and inactivity with action and expectant belief. Cultivate the mind and create an orchard. You can do this by reading both property investment related books and self-development books like Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway and Eat That Frog!. Be sure to put some time aside for yourself every day – just thirty minutes is a good start – and focus on what you want to achieve and how you are achieving it. Write your goals down and put them where you can see them. The time I give myself every day acts like a keel which keeps the yacht stable when the sea swells get rough.

2. Network for success:

A sponge absorbs whatever surrounds it. When you associate with like-minded people your growth and progress skyrockets. Embers glow and warm only when they are together, take one away and it soon cools and dies. Simon Zutshi’s PIN networking events are the biggest in the UK and offer you a chance to learn from speakers’ presentations as well as meet people you will connect with. Is it wise to take the person sitting next to you on as your mentor if they’re just starting out in property investing? Perhaps not, but meeting such people is powerful, enriching and through networking you can grow together and share your learning.

3. Learn from the experts:

If you want to be successful then get the right training! This is true for any field, not just property investment. Learn from the best by spending time with somebody who is a specialist in your chosen field, even shadowing them as they go about their daily business. You will also learn much faster through experience when you’re associating and joint venturing with somebody who is already successful. Consider getting a coach who will be able to answer all your questions, or investing in a good course. Always ensure your mentor is an investor who is actually doing deals in the UK and not just teaching theory.

4. Take it one step at a time:

This might sound like a contradiction to my earlier point, but be careful where you spend your money. It’s tempting to spend thousands of pounds on courses and seminars (and there are many people who would happily relieve you of your hard earned cash) which could be better spent investing in property. Many courses give information that is too advanced for a beginner investor’s needs, so be selective. Cool your engines and do one course at a time, implementing what you learn and only allowing yourself further learning when you start making money from the new skills and techniques already gained. Make sure the presenter has a track record of successful deals, as well as being a great teacher.

5. Enjoy the journey:

You will make mistakes, everybody does. An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in a narrow field. Learn to laugh about them, to know that it is acceptable to make mistakes – that’s how we learn. Just enjoy the amazing journey that is property investment! Isn’t that, after all, what this is all about?

Pre and Post Auction opportunities – Martin Roberts

Posted by Martin Roberts on March 9, 2010

Category Categories: Auctions, Property Mentors | Tag Tags: Martin Roberts | No Comments »

Martin Roberts

The intention for properties that are being put up for auction is that they are sold on the day of the auction. That’s one of the great things about buying (or selling) a property at auction – there’s no long, drawn out sales process – instead the property is sold to the person offering the highest bid on the day.

However, not all properties are sold in this way – and it is very common that during an auction where any number of properties may be up for grabs that a percentage of them do not get sold. There are a number of different reasons for this:

1. The property is withdrawn from the auction after the catalogue has been printed (there could be any number of reasons for this including the vendor accepting a pre-auction offer – see below)

2. The bidding on a property doesn’t reach its reserve price. This is a limit set by the vendor to say what is the absolute minimum amount that he would sell the property for. The auctioneer is unable to sell the property for less than the Reserve Price, irrespective of the level of interest and number of bids.

If you have set your sights on a property that is destined for the auction, then the most obvious thing to do is to go along to the auction itself and bid on it. However, you may also want to consider other ways to buy.

Pre-auction offers

On the basis that you do want to buy the property, you may want to see if the vendor will accept a pre-auction offer from you. This would mean you putting in an offer on the property, just like you would if the property were advertised for sale through an Estate Agent in the conventional way. The vendor will be able to consider your offer and if he decides to accept it, you would proceed with the purchase and sale just as if you had placed the highest bid at the auction i.e. you will still need to complete within the normal 28 days. The result would be that the property would be withdrawn from the Auction itself.

Be aware, however, that many vendors will not want to go down this route – and the closer you are to the auction day, the greater the chances of them preferring to wait and see what happens at auction – and who can blame them? If there is more than one person interested in the property, they stand the chance of the property being subject to a bidding war and achieving a far higher price than the guide price. Of course, it could go the other way and you could end up paying more than you would if you attended the auction. It’s a gamble.

Whether or not a vendor will accept a pre-auction offer depend very much on their situation and circumstances. Local authorities, housing associations, mortgage lenders and other government bodies won’t accept pre-auction offers. Neither will certain individuals or businesses by receivers or trustees. They are usually bound to demonstrate that they are aiming to achieve the highest possible price in a fair and open way – and taking the property to auction allows them to do this.

You are more likely to have a pre-auction offer accepted if the vendor is a private individual, a small to medium sized landlord or a small developer.

Post-auction offers

If a property does not sell at the auction, it is worth approaching the auctioneer directly afterwards to make an offer. If the seller is an individual in the room and the property failed to reach the reserve price, the vendor will have had their expectations of the property’s value re-adjusted. They may now be more open to accept a lower offer. Alternatively, if there are properties that do not sell that you haven’t particularly researched, you could ask for a list of unsold lots from the auctioneer and then carry out the necessary checks and put in an offer a few days later. Once again, the vendor will be in weaker position following the auction and may be more receptive to your approach.

Be aware that like Pre-Auction offers, if your offer is accepted you would be expected to proceed with the sale as if you had placed the winning bid i.e. you would need to pay the deposit immediately and complete within the normal 28 days.

RICS: House Price Rises may start to slow as Supply Increases

Picture: RICS: House Price Rises may start to slow as Supply Increases

The RICS Housing Market Survey (aka House Price Balance) announced today was down 14% from January’s survey, but “the net price balance remains comfortably in positive territory” at 17%.

In plain English this means that 17% of surveyors responding to the survey reported increasing rather than declining prices

January had reported a fall in interest in the housing market and the February survey shows a return:

“There was a resumption of interest in the housing market following the fall that took place in January, which was due partly to the extreme weather conditions during that month and the reversion back to the previous stamp duty regime,” said Rics spokesman Jeremy Leaf.

New instructions were considerably higher at 15% as opposed -5% in January, and new buyer enquiries also rose to 7% (from -20%). Although this increase has yet to be translated into actual transactions, it is likely therefore that an increase in supply will slow the overall house price increase seen in 2009.

“The magnitude of the gains going forward is likely to continue to ease, reflecting the fact that new supply coming on to the market is starting to outstrip fresh demand.”

“Activity is expected to rise over the coming months after the recent lull with surveyors also anticipating that prices will continue to edge upwards,” said Mr Leaf.

How to choose the right investment strategy for YOU.

Posted by Yvonne Emery on March 8, 2010

Yvonne Emery

How to choose the right investment strategy for YOU.

Let’s get right down to business this time and make some constructive decisions. Lots of questions, but what comes out of this is a way forward that you know you will take.

This month we are going to explore how you can choose a strategy that works for you and make it happen.

What are you trying to achieve?

Enough income to replace your current income
An extra £1,000 per month would be great
Cash-flow of £200 gross from each property
Cash-flow of £500 plus from each property
Easy property that doesn’t need any work
Property that needs general tidy up
Property that needs complete renovation – kitchen, bathroom etc.
Pension replacement income
A different lifestyle – income to allow you a few luxuries
The option to retire early

You’ll think of many more, and I’m asking so that you will then have a solid reason for making the investments, and have a clearer view of the type of property that will help you achieve this.

If you were going to make a difference to your life over the next 6 to 12 months what would help you do that? Would an extra £1,000 per month on top of your wages help? Perhaps it doesn’t matter about the income, as long as you change your job. Do the kids want to pursue expensive hobbies which cost £100 per month, or more? Would you like to be able to fund that Gym membership?

Why are you trying to achieve this?

If you can’t answer this simple question – ‘why?’ then the goal is probably not motivating enough for you. The main reason we don’t ‘Just Do It’ is that we are not challenged or interested enough in what we are trying to achieve. We constantly try to block our own progress either because of a fear of failure or a fear of success. Yes, would you believe that a significant proportion of us stop that success subconsciously.

What is your financial situation? – be honest with yourself.

Significant equity in your own home
No equity in your own home
Savings of £50k or more
Savings – max £20k
Somewhere in between
Absolutely no money to invest
Able to get a mortgage based on income over £25k
Self-certificated income so mortgage is more of a challenge
No savings, no possibility of a mortgage

The biggest difference for people in the strategy they choose to pursue is their current financial situation. Whichever situation you are in then you will need other people to help you and finding them can be your greatest achievement to date.

Time and Experience

Are you time rich and cash poor?
Are you cash rich and time poor?
Do you have lots of experience?
Are you just starting out?
Are you working full time?
How flexible is your working week?
Are you able to keep an eye on the deal provider’s messages?
Do you know how to do the due diligence quickly?

Have you been investing in property for years and now you’ve run out of funds, or are you just starting out and need other people’s trained eye to find you the property you require?

Find people you can team up with, even if it’s to encourage you to keep going. You will find all the knowledge you need on this site and there are many others to look at if you are researching a particular strategy.

If you don’t know, or you don’t have time – find someone who does.

We’re not very good at delegating generally, but the better you can get at this then the more you will be able to leverage other people’s time, experience and money (and we’re all after ways to use other people’s money).

Personality

Personality plays a big factor in the way we choose to invest and even the way we dream our goals. You need to get familiar with your own personality, make friends with it and realise your strengths and limitations.

Come and hear me speak at one of the networking events to find out more specifically about your personality and how it affects the way you choose to invest. www.YvonneEmeryCoaching.co.uk/events

The more reserved you are the more likely you are to choose an anonymous way of investing – getting others to do the deal making and negotiating with motivated sellers. This might cost more money but will save you the stress of following up leads generated by flyers. You might be enticed by the easiness of communicating by flyer and web advertising, but you will find yourself hesitating because you have no way of dealing with the calls this might generate.

Those who have more extrovert personalities, will be great at having the conversation with the motivated seller, putting them at ease and building rapport, but you might struggle with the dedication required for leafleting your area. You might also be happy to chat but worry about having enough information to be able to explain the detail to the seller.

In reality we all need other people to have input into our system, whichever we choose, so that we can use our skills to best advantage and fill the gaps with other people’s input.

What are the strategies that suit you?

Buying deals provided by Below Market Value sourcing companies
Leafleting to find your own leads for distressed/motivated sellers
Picking one area and one type of property and repeating a system
Buying deals across the UK as long as the cash-flow is good
Buy, renovate and sell (works best in a growing market)
Buy low and re-mortgage to release the cash
Buy no money down
Purchase Options, Lease Options, Sandwich Options (no mortgage required)
Joint ventures

You can find information on all of these on the mentor sections of Just Do Property.

Most people wouldn’t get out of bed for an extra £200 per month.

Remember that for each property that cash-flows at £200 per month, that’s £2,400 per annum and £24,000 over 10 years.

£200 is not just for Christmas, but it’s for the rest of your life.

When will you start?

I have introduced my MINI Groups for 3 to 6 people to set strategies and buy property regularly. Just £100 per person for a 3 hour session in a town near you. Call 0845 094 6628 to learn more.

Happy investing

Dampness in Buildings

Posted by Dennis Coote on March 5, 2010

Category Categories: Property Mentors, Renovation | Tag Tags: Dennis Coote, Rennovation | No Comments »

Dampness in Buildings is one of the main factors in causing dilapidation in properties, apart from the obvious risks to the human inhabitants. Living in a damp house is likely to cause all sorts of problems connected with the mould, which will or has occurred and other related effects such as rheumatism.

Causes of Dampness

Dampness in a property is one of the main causes of rapid deterioration and all efforts must be made to find the cause or causes of the dampness and eliminating it. For the residents of a damp house, all kinds of health problems will arise, as well as the massive expense if left for too long.

One broken roof tile costing a pound or two, if left unattended over several seasons will cause hundred of pounds worth of damage to walls and ceilings.

There are five main ways in which a property may become damp. The following are the main causes.

Leaking roof or gutters
Rising Dampness from the ground
Porous Brickwork or Stonework
Internal leaks in the plumbing system
Local flooding

Leaking Roof or Gutters

Tell tale signs within the building will be damp patches or areas of mould on upstairs ceilings or walls. If a gutter is blocked with leaves or moss, for example, the water will overflow down the external walls. If the walls are porous, the water will penetrate the wall.

An external visual inspection will show if any slates or roof tiles are broken or missing. In some cases the ridge tiles may have broken or blown off in a gale leaving it wide open for rain to enter.

An internal inspection of the roof is necessary, if it can be arranged. There is usually a trap door leading to the roof space, and a detailed inspection should be carried out. Check if there are any places where the daylight is showing through. If daylight can get through, so can rain. A careful diagram should be made so the holes can be related to the exterior and to identify broken slates or tiles.

Flashing (the sealing around a chimney stack or roof light) can be defective. Originally it would have been lead sheet, or for cheaper constructions, possibly zinc sheets.

Often a fillet of cement is used to make the joint between the roof slates or tiles and the chimney brickwork. This cracks within a short time and allows damp penetration.

If there are any doubts about the soundness of the gutters and down pipes, I strongly suggest that they are all replaced. The cost is inexpensive and trying to repair old gutters and down pipes is a pointless and futile exercise.

Rising Dampness

There are several causes of dampness rising from the ground.

One of the commonest is where the property has a wooden floor suspended on joists. There should be good air circulation under the floor by means of airbricks or gratings. These allow a flow of air through the under floor space. Upon inspection, one finds that the airbricks have become blocked with dirt. Even worse in some cases, garden soil is heaped up against them.

Without this air circulation, condensation and moisture from the ground will quickly affect the property. In older properties particularly, there may be no over-site concrete, i.e. concrete covering the bare earth under the floors.

This rising damp causes patches of discolouration to appear at low level on the ground floor walls and if untreated will cause the plaster to decay, and the ends of the floor joists to rot. The skirting boards will show signs of wet rot and start to decay if the dampness is not controlled.

In addition, the damp proof course (usually shortened to DPC) may be ineffective. In older buildings those of cheaper construction often relied on the density of the bricks at ground level to act as a moisture resistant barrier or damp proof course. In better building construction a slate course was built in at ground floor joist level.

A bad case of rising damp

Technical stuff: According to Building Regulations, the DPC should be installed at 150mm (6 inches) above the outside ground level. If the floor is a suspended wooden floor, the bottom of the joists should be laid on this. The DPC must cover the full width of the masonry leaf and project 5 mm beyond any external face.

More recently, bituminous felt was used as a damp proof course. The bituminous felt often deteriorated and allowed moisture to pass upwards into the upper wall.

This is known as ‘bridging’ of the damp course.

The remedy here is to install a new damp course along the area that is affected by rising damp and is fully discussed in detail later in the course.

The present method is to use heavy quality polythene strip.

Porous Brickwork or Stonework

Brick or stone walls can deteriorate over the years and brick particularly can become porous. Added to this, the cement between the bricks, the pointing, can decay and even fall out, allowing dampness from driving rain to enter the building. Creepers such as ivy may be present and the roots may open the brickwork sufficiently to allow water ingress.

An inspection should be made of the condition of the brickwork and of the pointing, particularly if there are otherwise unexplained wet patches on the walls. Defective chimneystacks are notorious for allowing damp to enter the building. Damp patches can appear on the wall above the fireplace. Because of the difficulty of accessing chimneystacks, the pointing is often neglected until the problem has become serious.

Leaks in the plumbing system

Upstairs bathrooms can become defective and a minor leak in a waste pipe for instance can, over time, develop a substantial amount of dampness. This is often not noticed until it becomes serious.

Careful investigation is the only answer for tracing these causes of dampness.

A bad case of mould caused by porous walls. It can be treated fairly easily, but is a danger to health if untreated

Local Flooding

The cause of the flooding is usually generally easy to discover, but it is important to make sure that everything has been dried out thoroughly after a flood. Both wet and dry rot can be started by saturation of a floor or wall.

An idyllic spot near to a brook, but this brook can become a raging torrent at certain times of the year and the cottages on the right are flooded.

Local Flooding

Therefore dampness should be tackled as soon as it appears, the longer it is left the more expensive will be the remedies.

Diary of a Land Finder Virgin! (March 4th)

So you may remember from my last blog that I was going around in circles trying to find the UDP on my Council’s website. After speaking to the planning office I found out the reason why - it has been removed, because it was incorrect!! So that’s a good start!! Anyway they’ve pointed me to another online map which I can use instead, but it’s not brilliant. Although all is not lost as I’ve just ordered the hard copy UDP as Lyndon suggested anyway.

I must admit the map on screen is really difficult to look at, and at the moment it’s a bit scary as I don’t really know what I’m doing!! However I’m working my way through module 1 now.

There are accompanying videos with module 1. Just beware as I’ve had to watch them in windows media player and not quick time that it recommended. It took me a while as I had to call in the help of my husband, Alec, who’s a technical whiz! But that’s all sorted and I can watch the videos now. I’m sure it’ll be easy for most people to watch the videos.

I went on to watch the Google Earth video and Lyndon was pointing out all the possible development sites in his area, which is West Houghton in Bolton. There’s only 25,000 people live there, but so many land buying opportunities! It’s very exciting to see all the possibilities in such a small area.

I called in to Lyndon’s fortnightly teleconference, where you can ask him whatever questions you like about Land Finding. I must admit this course is amazing value when you get support like that.

Out and about today with my 2 young children and I spotted a couple of sites that could be possibilities. It’s exciting as I’ve not even completed module 1 and I only have a small amount of knowledge but it opens your mind to know a bit more about what you’re looking for.

I think I’m hooked!

Picture: Bank of England (BoE) interest rates stay at 0.5%

The Bank of England (BoE) decides to keep the Interest Rate at 0.5% and maintain the size of the asset puchase programme (Quantitative Easing).

Both moves where widely expected by financial analysts and the media.

The rate dropped down to the record low of 0.5% almost exactly 1 year ago on 5 March 2009 along with the introduction of the aset purchase scheme which was subsequently increased in value.

The minutes of the meeting will be published at 9.30am on Wednesday 17 March.

Is now a good time to begin developing for profit? – Lyndon Forshaw

Posted by Lyndon Forshaw on March 4, 2010

Category Categories: Land and Development, Property Mentors | Tag Tags: Development, Land, Lyndon Forshaw | No Comments »

As we begin this new decade, many of you out there will be looking for ways to maximise your income and broaden your approach to property.

For many BTL and land investors, developing for profit is a very natural progression. In fact, it was the path I took – and I’m sure glad that I did. The potential profits can be truly staggering…

“How much experience do I need?”

The surprising thing about developing for profit is that you don’t need to know very much about construction at all! In fact, I didn’t know anything about construction when I started out… and I still wouldn’t know how to place one brick on top of another!

If you have the right team around you, including a good architect and a quality single main contractor, you can leave them to worry about all the hard work and specialist construction knowledge. You can use industry standard ‘fixed priced’ contracts – so the contractor handles all the construction work within an up-front agreed price. This means that you won’t be landed with any nasty surprises and you can minimise the associated risks.

“What about the finance?”

As market conditions improve, more lenders are returning to the market with new development finance products. Better still, loan-to-value ratios are increasing all the time. 65% loan-to-value is now once again achievable for certain deals.

Of course, the most critical element of the deal is securing the land at the right price. If there’s enough capital tied up in the land, then it’s possible to fund the deal with little (or possibly no) money down…

“What about the state of the market?”

Increasingly positive news reports seem to suggest that we may be slowly emerging from the recent property crash. For example, last month, Barratt announced that forward sales are 43% ahead of a year ago. Plus, recent RICS figures show that house price rises are likely as demand for available property outstrips the supply.

Signs are that things should be more stable in 2010, hopefully preparing the way for increased recovery later in the year.

That’s why I recently took my first steps back into developing. Although I’m only developing a very small site of two semi-detached houses, the project should return a healthy profit for very little “work”.

“How much work is required?”

My method of new build development involves very little work by me at all – no more than two or three hours per month from start to finish!

However, I know I’ll spend more time on site than I need to as I find the whole process so exciting! Basically, I’m buying a piece of dirt and turning it into two fantastic brand new houses worth £160,000 each.

The return on my time from a small project like this is significant – hopefully around £70k. I anticipate that this development will take around six months to complete. I’ll be keeping an online diary of the progress of this project, so if you’re interested to see how it’s coming along, keep an eye on my blog at www.ukpropertyexpert.com.

“Can I reduce the amount of up-front capital needed?”

A great way to reduce the amount of upfront capital needed is by entering into a joint venture (JV) with a landowner.

I recently agreed a JV deal on a site for 16 houses. Essentially the landowner will be putting his land into the deal and I’ll be arranging the development. The deal should clear £400,000 for my company. Sound easy? Well, when you get to know the ropes, it is!

So will 2010 be the year you take the next logical step in your property career with comparatively quick, life changing profits from developing? It really isn’t as difficult as it sounds. If I can do it, anyone can!

Halifax House Price Index drops -1.5% in January

The Halifax House Price Index (HPI) down by -1.5% in January. Halifax, now owned by Lloyds, is the UK’s largest mortgage lender and the second organisation to release HPI figures for January.

Like with Nationwide HPI, down -1%, Halifax have shown a drop in House Prices in January compared to December, but an increase, 4.5%, over the whole year. Nationwide reported a 9.2% increase.

Picture: Halifax House Price Index drops 1.5% in January

“House prices fell by 1.5% in February, the first decline since June 2009 following seven consecutive monthly increases. Despite this fall, the average price is 8.0% above the trough reached in April 2009.” Martin Ellis, housing economist.

Not surprisingly Martin Ellis attributes the reduction to the bad weather in early 2010 and the return of the lowest stamp duty threshold.

However he believes that “An increase in the number of properties available for sale has helped to reduce slightly the imbalance between supply and demand. ”

February Events

Julie went along to the Manchester pin meeting last week, it was an excellent meeting. John Davies from Hedge gave a market update, which was very informative. It’s great just to go the meetings to get the latest property news. We learnt about the new PLO (Protected Lease Option) from John Davies and Mark Jackson and Charlie Robinson talked about debt management solutions.
