The Property Vault Podcast - 044 - How do I get started in Property?

In this podcast episode, hosts Dan Hulbert and Amy Rowlinson answer the question that they get asked all the time “How do I get started in property?”. First, Dan and Amy counter with the question “Why property?” challenging the reason why you want to invest in property. They advise to start with the end in mind to work out how and why investing in property is right for you. Once that is clear, then you can start looking at what business models suit your personal circumstances. Are you looking for a cash flow or capital business model? Only once you have decided on this are you able to look at where to invest. They talk about the Assets, Bonuses and Cash flow (ABC) model but actually it should read CAB as they demonstrate that you need to build your Cash flow first, amass Assets next and only then look at the Bonus projects such as developments. They advise to start with low or no cost elements of information gathering and education, to read property related books, listen to podcasts, register for online webinars, attend network events and join property Facebook communities. Once you have got a good grounding then you may be in a better position to invest in specific property education. Surround yourself with other property professionals and be aware that property investing takes time and requires preparation. If you need any help getting started in property you can book a support call with Dan and Amy via the Property Vault website, connect with them on Facebook by join the Unlocking Property Knowledge Facebook next Property Vault Network event. Dates are on the website.
