She knew the 9-5 life wasn’t for her but thought that she would need to make massive steps and create big ideas to change her life. Natasha read progressive properties co-founders Rob Moore and Mark Homers book Property Investing Secrets and it blew her mind. Her perspective on building a property portfolio was completely changed and she was inspired to begin her own journey. After educating herself Natasha was able to ‘de-pedestalise’ the money part of investing other people’s cash and realised that she was actually helping these individuals invest and make money. Bungalows can be an overlooked investment opportunity, something Natasha realised and capitalised on. For example, if you are buying a bungalow to trade you get stamp duty relief. Most purchasers of bungalows are also people who are downsizing so they are generally cash buyers; an advantage for a multitude of reasons. It’s not a bad thing to invest in a competitive geographical area. If many people are investing then that shows that there is money to be made. You just need to focus on what you are doing and build the right relationships so you can make the deals.   BEST MOMENTS “I really wanted my own business, I knew the 9-5 life wasn’t for me” “The main thing for me was focusing on the fact that we are actually  helping other people rather than we need to find people to give us their money”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk       ABOUT THE HOST   Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
