  • 5 Ways To Add Value To a Property

    5 Ways To Add Value To a Property
    Oct 13 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ One of Kevin’s most asked questions is how to add value to a rental property, in this episode he explores various ways you can do this including 5 fundamentals you need to focus on. KEY TAKEAWAYS Buy something where you know you can add value, where there is space for improvements, particularly focusing on the kitchen and bathroom. Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities. BEST MOMENTS “Nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they’re going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don’t have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

  • Unlocking The Hidden Patterns Behind Successful Property Deals with Guillaume Black

    Unlocking The Hidden Patterns Behind Successful Property Deals with Guillaume Black
    Sep 30 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ What if everything you know about finding property deals is wrong? Today, Sean talks to a man who actively breaks the systems you already know and likely use. Guillaume Black is a property investor who got so frustrated searching for deals that he sat down and analysed 1000s of them and uncovered the hidden patterns. He then built an app called Property Finder to supercharge the process of uncovering viable deals that are normally missed. Guillaume and Sean discuss how to boost your income through property, how to stop wasting your time on dead-end deals, and streamline your deal finding process. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on motivated sellers to increase the likelihood of securing favourable deals. Build a consistent lead generation system rather than relying on random or scattergun approaches. Momentum matters. Don´t assume the seller will say no. Make your offer and let them say yes or no. Don´t get emotionally attached to individual properties, always prioritise your bottom line. Learn from the wider property community through events, podcasts and networking. Use the right tools. Guillaume explains how his app, that is Progressive approved, works. Ignore the asking price and focus on offers that work for your numbers. Explore creative deal structures e.g. assisted sales and flips. Continually educate yourself and adapt. BEST MOMENTS “There are people out there with money that want to get their money working, and they're looking for you.” “Building bridges, connections with contacts, with people, growing a network. Once those foundations are laid, all of a sudden the deals start happening." "It´s easy, but it´s not simple. You need to be consistent." “People do have the stickability to make it happen. It's just that they make it happen for somebody else instead of for themselves.” “Deals are made, not found.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://property-filter.co.uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/Go-No-Yes-Destination-There/dp/B00LNI1RUU VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.

  • Two Months to Profit, Four Months to Six Properties: Rob’s No Money Down Property Journey

    Two Months to Profit, Four Months to Six Properties: Rob’s No Money Down Property Journey
    Sep 23 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Rob Caswell’s journey demonstrates the rapid results possible through Progressive Property’s training. In just two months after starting, he began profiting from his property investment. Within four months, he had a portfolio of six profitable properties. All achieved by working with Kevin and the No Money Down team, taking action and sticking to the plan. If you want to see how to do the same, listen in. KEY TAKEAWAYS Working for someone else means you are working hard to build someone else`s dream. You are not in control, which is soul destroying. Instead, work for yourself, and don´t give up until you succeed. The mentorship, community, and accountability provided by Progressive were crucial in overcoming self-doubt and external negativity. This enabled Rob to stay motivated and focused. Working full time does not mean you can´t profit from property. Rob started while working. The methods Progressive teaches work just as well for absolute beginners who still need a job to pay their bills as they do for seasoned investors looking for new ways to profit. Rob successfully implemented several strategies including: no money down purchases, rent-to-rent, purchase lease options and direct-to-vendor marketing methods. As Progressive develops new methods, he plans to implement those, too. You don´t need money to get started or a lot of spare time. BEST MOMENTS “My first deal was literally, absolutely no money down.” “I used the tenant's money - the first month's rent - to pay for the furnishings.” "There are so many deals out there." “You are around people, watching these deals happen around the table in front of you right at the start of your mentorship.” "Get started. Put your best foot forward. The answer is yes. Figure it out later." "Get some training. First and foremost, don’t walk into it blind, get a mentor. The mentor is absolutely key."
