EP62 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: The Principles of Building Wealth

Building wealth is a goal that many people aspire to, but it can often seem like an overwhelming task. It takes time, effort, and discipline to be successful with this goal, so don’t be lured by get-rich-quick schemes and too-good-to-be-true opportunities that can send you down a dangerous path.

The good news is that there are principles and strategies that can help anyone build and preserve wealth over the long term.

 

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to understand this as Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to take you through building a property portfolio, what it means to purchase several buy-to-let investment opportunities to generate a significant return on investment – more so than you would with just one property. Also, making sure you are financially ready, setting goals, doing your research, remembering to diversify and the benefits of a Hands-Off Investment.

Spring has been the most popular season to buy and sell a home for as long as we can remember, and with good reason.

 

Plans are often hatched around the beginning of the year, and as the weather warms up and nature bursts into bloom, those plans swing into action.

 

Perhaps you want to move your family in time for the new school year to minimise disruption to your children. Or maybe you just love the idea of being in your next home by summer.

 

Whether it’s more space, a bigger garden, somewhere with room for an office or even downsizing, spring inspires many a move, with sellers and buyers coming out of hibernation.

 

Of course, as more homes come up for sale, the competition to secure a buyer gets stiffer. So, with spring just around the corner, now is the time to prepare your home to stand out in the new season.

 

With that in mind, our blog this week is packed with tips for successful spring viewings to give your home the edge and find a buyer fast.

Of all the reasons for moving home, downsizing can be the most overwhelming. It doesn’t matter if your home has become unmanageable or even if you know that moving to a smaller space will improve your life: just thinking about it can be incredibly daunting.

 

A lot comes down to the fear of leaving memories behind and giving away treasured possessions that have been part of your life for a long time. If you’ve lived somewhere for decades, raised a family there or have wonderful neighbours, saying goodbye might feel like a wrench.

EP58 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Diary of a Property Investor Part 13

How I lost my first million and the lessons learned. You don’t often get to know how someone failed but when you do you can often learn more from this than their success.

In this episode Jim Parker and Richard Cook are going to talk about the steps that led to Jim losing a million and the lessons learned.

This is the warts and all, laid bare story of Jim’s journey retiring at 38 years old financially free and almost losing it all. We’ll be covering several issues on mental health, depression, addictive personality and suicide which for many might be disturbing and upsetting. If you need help in any way, please free phone The Samaritans on 116 123 or visit https://www.samaritans.org/?nation=scotland

Jim says, “It’s amazing that you’re judged a success by what people see, when they have no idea what is happening deep down within that person. If the next chapter in my story helps one person, it will have all been worth it”.

Not every home sells for its full potential value, and that’s often because the finest features are either hidden or under-presented. But you can add many thousands to your sale price simply by showing off what’s already there.

 

Even though furniture and styling play their part, buyers are ultimately paying for the fabric of your home, and that’s how estate agents, mortgage lenders and surveyors will appraise the value of your property.

 

So, it makes sound financial sense to make the most of what you’ve got by highlighting all the existing character and space. When you get it right, it’s a surefire way to wow your buyers, from stunning photography online to a fantastic viewing experience. And in this week’s blog, we’ll show you how.

Fife Baby Boomers and their 22,088 Spare ‘Spare’ Bedrooms

Whilst we are around 12 months away from receiving the results of the Scottish 2022 Census, south of the border – as their census was in 2021 – the results are starting to come out.

One interesting statistic is the growth of number of spare bedrooms and spare ‘spare’ bedrooms between the 2011 and 2021 Census.

Britain has over 8 million households with 2 or more spare bedrooms, most owned by Baby Boomers. Should the Government force them out or should the Government mind their own business?
