  • 5 Ways To Add Value To A Property
    Jul 8 2025
    FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Lethttps://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD 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. ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT 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 https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

  • The Big Property Investing Question Quantity or Quality ?
    Jul 1 2025
    Join Kev as he explores the question of quantity -vs- quality in property investing. He talks about the quality of house, tenants, refurbs and and reveals the most important things you need to weigh up when purchasing property. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to think about mortgage -vs- cashflow but also growth. You can get good tenants in all income brackets in all areas of society, just because someone has money and can pay more, it doesn’t mean they will be a higher quality tenant. Knowing your area is essential to finding quality tenants. They will be ‘areas within areas’ and one street can make all the difference. The monthly rental profit isn’t the only number to focus on, you also should look at the capital growth opportunities. A lower quality area means less capital growth but you probably will have a higher cash flow as your initial outlay is less. Whether you focus on quantity or quality, the most important thing is that you just get started and don't procrastinate! BEST MOMENTS "Are you sacrificing quality for quantity?” “You need to know your area” “Your return in the North looks better in the South” “What I am always focused on is cashflow, cus cashflow is the oxygen for the business” "It doesn't matter if you go for the quality or the quantity, what matters if you go for something" 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.

  • How to Take Control of Your Finances with Ben Knight of The Trade Tribe
    Jun 24 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Kev is joined by Ben Knight from The Trade Tribe to talk about how you can take control back of your finances in the stock market. For less than 5 minutes a day, Ben’s strategy helps anyone learn and start trading. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Ben Knight started The Trade Tribe 5 years ago with the goal to make trading more simple for the everyday person. • Many people avoid trading as it can be portrayed as complicated, but Ben says this is not the case and you shouldn’t let it put you off, regardless of who you are and how much money you have to invest. • Ben believes that financial education should be taught in school, and children leave school without the skills to build their wealth or even truly understand money. • Ben started doing HMOs but didn’t educate himself enough on property, this was a big lesson for him and meant he did the right amount of research before starting in trading. • Creating and following a process is important for Ben, and he encourages anyone investing in anything to take a methodical and rational approach. • You need to know when you plan on selling something and have a plan for it before you even buy in the first place. Start with the end in mind. BEST MOMENTS “People are making it ridiculously complicated…it puts a lot of people off” “Everyone has 5 minutes in their day to grow their wealth” “Everyone likes to think about what to buy when, but no one thinks about when to sell” “Start with the end in mind” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-knight-368b0a12b/?originalSubdomain=uk 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.
