The Inside Property Investing Podcast | Inspiration and advice from a decade investing in UK real estate

Today I’m delighted to be joined by Jane Scroggs, returning to the show after a couple of years since her last appearance, not to talk about property this time, but about her business Beam, which supports property investors with her team of UK based virtual assistants and property specialists.
Jane is a real pro when it comes to outsourcing, delegating, and generally helping you free up your time from the day to day admin of running a property business so that you can focus on the real valuable tasks in your business like sourcing your next deal, raising funds for your next development, or, god-forbid, taking a well-earned day off, safe in the knowledge that things won’t implode whilst you’re gone.
During todays episode we talk about the who, what, where, when and why of getting help and starting to outsourcing some of the work in your business, and of course if you’re interested in Jane’s support with any of this, you can reach out to her via the contact details she shares at the end of the episode.

Building a HUGE portfolio by focussing on just 2 postcodes, with Michael Lawson

Michael Lawson is a Dubai based investor who rapidly scaled his portfolio whilst holding down a successful career and living about 3,000 miles away - and when I say rapidly, I’m talking to the tune of 15+ new purchases per year.

How does he do this? Well it’s a family business, and he has his mum back on the ground looking after more of the customer facing tasks while he focuses on the business growth and strategy; he keeps his attention on just two postcodes in Fife that he knows like the back of his hand - an approach I’ve always favoured rather than trying to cast your net too wide; and he’s kept things as simple as possible, with a portfolio made up predominantly of single lets.

One of the reasons I love hosting this podcast is the constant reminder that there are so many different ways to make a successful career from property, and Michael gives us yet another perspective on how things can be done, so I’m sure you’ll get a ton of value from our discussion today.

He also let slip after we stopped recording that he’s getting married next week, which will be before this podcast airs, so Michael, by the time you’re listening to this you’ll be a married man and I just want to wish you a huge congratulations and all the best to you and your new wife. Now, let’s get into the show.

Why We're Selling Up!

Join me today as I discuss the recent sale of a significant property in our portfolio - one of our first-ever HMOs. Selling properties is not something we usually do, so I’m diving deep into the reasons behind this decision and exploring what made this particular project a candidate for selling, what the process of selling looked like, and of course, how much we actually sold it for!
