Success in property investing requires three fundamental rules: showing up consistently, learning from mistakes, and never quitting. These foundational principles separate those who achieve their goals from those who remain stuck in fear and self-doubt.

• Show up and execute daily tasks, especially when you don't feel like it
• Silence your inner critic (the "easy street voice") and strengthen your "boss voice"
• Create 3-5 critical daily tasks that move you toward your goals
• Understand that consistency over time produces results others might see as "luck"
• Learn from mistakes and make necessary adjustments without completely changing strategy
• Recognize that small tweaks in approach can make massive differences in outcomes
• Never quit - you only truly fail when you stop trying
• Push through adversity and comfort zones consistently to find success
• Avoid comparing yourself to social media highlight reels that skip the hard work

In this throwback episode, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Nigel Pinder, who shares how he went from corporate burnout to building a thriving serviced accommodation business—all while still working full-time in finance.

Through property investing, he's found renewed purpose, improved mental health, and a path toward creating more time for his family.

• Nigel's background includes a successful career in banking and finance spanning over 20 years
• Mental health challenges and feeling trapped in his corporate role led him to explore property investing options
• Starting in early 2022, Nigel secured his first service accommodation unit in April
• Now managing five units targeting primarily contractor clients with excellent occupancy rates
• Balancing a corporate career with property investing requires careful time management and family consideration
• The importance of building systems and processes to scale a service accommodation business effectively
• Setting a target of £10K monthly cash flow from service accommodation in 2023
• Family is the primary motivation - creating time freedom to be present for his wife and children

• Avoiding "shiny penny syndrome" by focusing on one strategy before diversifying

Mark Fitzgerald shares crucial insights on how property deal sourcers can distinguish themselves in a crowded market by building investor relationships before pitching properties. The key lies in asking strategic questions about investors' preferences, making notes, and specializing in specific property strategies rather than trying to source every type of deal available.

• Stop trying to sell immediately and instead ask investors about their property criteria
• Take notes during investor conversations to demonstrate genuine interest
• Ask about property types, target areas, strategies, desired cash flow, and ROI expectations
• Specialize in property strategies you thoroughly understand rather than trying to source everything
• Build a sustainable business by becoming an expert in solving specific property investment problems
• Maintain credibility by referring investors elsewhere when deals don't match your specialty
• Focus on creating a professional service that delivers consistent value to investors

• Focus on mastering one business idea rather than pursuing multiple opportunities
• Build at least 3-6 months of savings before leaving your job

Confronting our deepest fears takes tremendous courage, especially when those fears are tied to financial security and self-worth. In this raw and unfiltered episode, Mark Fitzgerald pulls back the curtain on his personal journey from corporate burnout to property entrepreneurship, revealing the doubts and anxieties that nearly held him back from changing his life.

After 16 years climbing the corporate ladder, Mark found himself trapped in the all-too-familiar hamster wheel—dreading each workday, feeling emotionally numb, and seeing no clear path forward. "I wasn't really feeling like I had proper feelings anymore," he confesses. "I even paraglided off a very big mountain in Turkey because I wanted to feel scared." This powerful moment of clarity forced him to confront a difficult truth: something had to change.

With remarkable candor, Mark discusses the terrifying leap of taking voluntary redundancy, the kitchen table moments of despair wondering if success would ever come, and the persistent voice of self-doubt that whispered he might fail. Yet through consistent action, building the right support network, and refusing to give up, he successfully established thriving businesses in HMOs, serviced accommodation, and holiday lets.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is Mark's insistence that his success isn't due to special talent or privilege. "I'm nothing special," he emphasizes. "You've just got to know what you're doing. Do the right things in the right order, consistently and persistently." He debunks the myth of overnight success and offers practical wisdom on creating momentum in your property journey.

Remember: "Be the best version of you you can be, and that, my friend, is how you live a fulfilled life."

Due diligence makes or breaks your serviced accommodation business. Without proper analysis, you're simply gambling with your investment capital and hoping for the best.

Successful SA operators treat each property as its own business entity, requiring thorough market research and financial analysis. This means systematically tracking competitor properties and local hotels through detailed spreadsheets, monitoring price fluctuations month-by-month to understand seasonal variations and demand patterns. Unlike traditional rentals, serviced accommodation relies on dynamic pricing – rates that fluctuate dramatically based on local events, seasons, and demand cycles. A Premier Inn near Wembley Stadium might charge £100 per night normally but command £900-1000 during major events!

Understanding your cost structure is equally crucial. Fixed costs (mortgage/rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance fund) must be paid regardless of occupancy. Variable costs (cleaning, linen, sundries) fluctuate with guest turnover, while cost of sales (OTA commissions, booking systems) directly relate to securing bookings. The smartest operators establish a monthly maintenance pot (£100/property) that accumulates over time, creating a financial buffer against unexpected repairs.

The golden rule? Your break-even point should be 50% occupancy or less. Many novices accept break-even points of 65% or higher, severely limiting profit potential. For optimal performance, target 70-75% occupancy – consistently higher rates often indicate underpricing, while lower occupancy suggests overpricing or market issues.

Throwback Thursday Episode – From Corporate Careers to Property Freedom: The Keys to Doors Journey

In this Throwback Thursday feature, we’re revisiting one of the most impactful conversations on the show—an inspiring episode with Peter from Keys to Doors, who, alongside his partner Monica, carved a new life for themselves through property investing.

Their journey didn’t begin with years of experience or a background in construction—it started with a book read on a beach during a well-earned vacation. That moment sparked a fire that led them away from the 9–5 grind and into the world of property, but not without plenty of planning, sacrifice, and lessons learned.

They began small with single-let properties, building experience and confidence. As their knowledge grew, they strategically moved into HMOs and later into commercial conversions—always taking a methodical approach and adapting when needed. Their dual business model—combining long-term asset acquisition with short-term trading income through joint ventures—gave them the financial security and flexibility to leave their corporate jobs behind. First Monica, then Peter.

But what really sets their story apart is their ability to pivot with purpose. When the COVID-19 pandemic made sourcing discounted deals nearly impossible, they didn’t stall—they shifted to supported living properties, benefiting from stronger cash flow and fewer day-to-day management demands. As the market evolves again, they’re now reintroducing flip projects, showing once more how agility is just as important as ambition.

This episode is more than just a timeline of deals—it’s a raw and honest reflection on the realities of property investing. In 2022, Peter and Monica hit burnout. That moment of realisation changed everything. They now prioritise quarterly international breaks and regular weekend retreats to maintain their energy, creativity, and quality of life.

As Peter says:

“Property investing is a long game. It’s better to be steady and methodical—and have a good balance of taking care of yourself.”

For anyone thinking about starting in property, Peter shares golden advice:

• Invest in education to reduce fear and build confidence
• Use systematic viewing strategies to accurately assess refurbishment costs
• Surround yourself with a supportive community to find JV partners and mentors

Due to high demand, we’re bringing this one back!

This throwback episode is a fan favourite and one of the most downloaded from The Property Unleashed Podcast archives.

Persuasion isn't just a business skill—it's the foundation of wealth creation in property entrepreneurship. When you can effectively communicate your vision, build genuine rapport, and influence others ethically, deals materialize that benefit everyone involved.

Today's episode dives deep into the psychology of persuasion that's transformed countless property deals. We explore why listening is more powerful than speaking, how authentic passion transfers energy to potential partners, and why the best communicators know exactly when to stop talking. Remember: two ears, one mouth—use them in that proportion!

Drawing inspiration from masters like Dale Carnegie and Steve Jobs, we break down practical techniques you can implement immediately. Learn how to create natural-sounding scripts, tell compelling stories that sell, and avoid common communication pitfalls that sabotage deals. The most valuable tip? "Don't sell past close." When you recognize someone's ready to move forward, change the subject (I personally start talking about the weather) instead of continuing to pile on information that might create doubt.

These aren't just theoretical concepts—they're battle-tested strategies I've refined through years of property deals and business leadership. Whether you're negotiating with vendors, pitching to investors, or building your team, mastering influential communication will elevate every aspect of your property journey. Practice these techniques daily, even in casual interactions, and watch your confidence and closing rates transform!

Why do some people take action and succeed while others remain stuck despite having the same knowledge? This fascinating conversation with performance coach Dominic Bicheno uncovers the hidden psychological barriers that keep us from achieving our potential.

After 18 years and over 10,000 coaching hours with 3,000+ business leaders, Dominic has identified the subconscious programming that sabotages success. He explains that while our conscious mind wants to achieve, our primitive brain is wired to keep us safe and comfortable, triggering fear responses that hold us back from taking risks.

The most illuminating revelation? These mental blocks were installed during childhood (ages 0-12) when our brains operated in theta and delta wavelength states that absorbed information without filters. One childhood incident can create a limiting belief that influences decisions decades later. Even more surprisingly, we inherit psychological blocks from our ancestors just as we inherit genetic tendencies.

Dominic shares powerful techniques for breaking through these limitations, explaining why meditation, visualization, and specialized hypnotherapy like Rapid Transformational Therapy can create profound shifts by accessing those same theta brainwave states where original programming occurred. He emphasizes that environment shapes outcomes—"you're the average of the five people you spend most time with"—and sometimes major life changes are necessary to break limiting patterns.

Whether you're hesitating to make offers on property deals, struggling to grow your business, or feeling stuck in any area of life, Dominic's insights provide both understanding and practical tools for transformation. His message is ultimately hopeful: by recognizing our programming and consciously creating new neural pathways, we can overcome any psychological barrier and finally achieve the success we desire.

The current property market in 2025 offers exceptional opportunities for investors who approach it professionally rather than casually. With many landlords exiting due to new legislation and rising interest rates, those who establish systemized businesses and focus on quality can thrive in this landscape.

• Labour government's Renter's Right Bill is causing many landlords to exit the market
• Property professionals with systems succeed where casual investors struggle
• Low-capital strategies include deal sourcing, rent-to-rent, HMOs, and serviced accommodation
• Quality deals matter more than quantity - avoid rushing into bad investments
• Higher interest rates have eliminated profitability for traditional buy-to-let landlords
• Modern tenants demand better living experiences than five years ago
• Diversify your portfolio across multiple strategies rather than concentrating in one area
• Use limited companies where appropriate for tax benefits
• Work with tax advisors and accountants who understand property investing
• Invest in proper training before starting your property journey

John Brogdon shares how he transformed from physiotherapist to property entrepreneur by building a successful service accommodation management business that delivers higher returns for landlords while preserving their valuable assets.

• Started with a simple house-hack in 2014, letting rooms to professionals that covered mortgage and bills
• Leveraged capital growth after 8 years to expand into service accommodation
• Chose the management model over rent-to-rent for better risk profile and faster ROI
• Currently managing 10 service accommodation units across Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate
• Delivers approximately 20% more net profit for landlords compared to traditional letting
• Takes security deposits and performs ID checks to minimize risks and protect properties
• Targets longer bookings from business travelers to improve profitability and reduce wear
• Plans to expand into supported living to offer landlords multiple investment options
• Recommends "graded exposure" approach – small, consistent improvements compound over time
• Suggests attending property networking events regularly to build momentum and connections
• Offers creative solutions for beginners to secure their first clients despite competition

If you have buy-to-let properties in West Yorkshire or Harrogate and want to explore potentially higher returns through serviced accommodation without the hassle of managing it yourself, reach out to John at PIER 24 Homes through the link in the show notes.

Mark Fitzgerald discusses the critical mindset shift needed for successful property investing: removing personal emotions from business decisions. Maintaining emotional detachment allows investors to make objective choices, negotiate effectively, and know when to walk away from deals that no longer serve their business interests.

• Emotional attachment to property deals often leads to poor decision-making
• Inexperienced investors commonly become "motivated buyers" who accept unfavorable terms
• Not all investments will be winners - learning from mistakes is essential
• For rent-to-rent businesses, being willing to invoke break clauses when deals become unprofitable
• All successful property deals should be win-win scenarios that benefit all parties involved
• Ethical considerations must remain at the forefront of all property transactions
• Setting up properly from the beginning helps avoid costly mistakes
• Many new investors get into trouble by acting without proper training or guidance

The new Renter's Right Bill is causing unnecessary panic in the property investment community about the future of rent-to-rent strategies. Mark Fitzgerald explains why this concern is misplaced and how properly structured rent-to-rent businesses will continue to thrive despite legislative changes.

• Renter's Right Bill is changing ASTs from fixed-term to month-by-month rolling contracts
• Many incorrectly claim this will kill rent-to-rent strategies
• Professional rent-to-rent operators never use ASTs with landlords
• Management agreements or commercial lease agreements are the correct contracts to use
• ASTs are only used between the operator and tenants, not with property owners
• Focus on finding landlords who value property maintenance and preservation
• Quality properties require less frequent repairs and redecoration
• A handful of well-managed properties can provide substantial cash flow
• Delivering a VIP service to landlords is key to sustainable success
• Proper training and systems are essential before attempting this strategy
