Brett's "cash house" strategy

This strategy goes against every other strategy that l speak about because it's not about maximising your ROI. It's simply about saving your portfolio should you be faced with worst case scenario, it's like an insurance policy for your portfolio.

Brett's 7-10 x 7-10 strategy

This perhaps the simplest of all strategies. Quite simply it is buy 7-10 properties and keep them for 7-10 years and you will have secured your retirement. Let's look at how and why...

Brett's "set & forget property" strategy

My set and forget property strategy is quite simple. The reason you build a portfolio should be to give you a better lifestyle, now and in retirement. If you constantly have stress from your properties then you need to change something.

Cashflow bad, capital good

Sometimes there will be periods where the rent received on a property is less than the outgoing mortgage payments so the shortfall has to be factored in. My client wanted to know if it happened often and why.

Important property dates and your cashflow

Imagine you had an unlimited supply of money. You wouldn't need to worry about the various important dates that go with each purchase. You'd write a cheque immediately and be done with it. But coming back to reality, it does matter when you make payments.

There are only 2 reasons to build a portfolio

Prior to working in property I owned an international franchise for a personal development self study course/seminar company. I would travel around the country giving seminars and conducting teleconferences. Throughout this time l realized a few things...

Money doesn't make you happy

What a lot of rot - clearly a poor person said this as t tried to justify their poor financial situation. Ask any normal member of society and t will tell you t would rather have more money than less. Money simply buys you choices.

How do you create income from property?

The question I pose to most of my clients when I first meet them is how do you create income from property? I get many different answers but in actual fact there are only 3 main ways of creating income from property.

Why Property Mentor is probably NOT what you are after (and what you should be doing instead...)

Working with a property mentor may seem like a good idea, but the problem is t're 100% educational. Just like a book, you have to read, understand and then do it yourself. And unfortunately, buying the books doesn't guarantee success.

Investing "cashflow as capital" strategy

I had a client who earned in excess of £100,000 yet only had £30,000 in equity in property. Now normally I would apply the "you spend your income and I will spend your capital rule" but in this case my first suggestion was different.
