In this episode of The Property Business Accelerator, Mike Frisby speaks with Raj Beri (co-editor of YPN magazine) and full-time investor/mentor & coach. Raj become a full time property investor without really planning to! His goal from early on in life was to become a scientist and with a degree and then PhD in Genetics, that is the course he pursued and for many years really enjoyed a great career in research with AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. Although he still enjoyed his job, towards the latter part of his time with AstraZeneca, he felt disillusioned with the lack of opportunities to expand his knowledge. Fuelled by a life-long desire to ‘learn’, he stumbled into property investing. Following a few “novice investor” errors, he embarked on a course of action to learn how to invest with knowledge and skill, deploying the services of a number of successful property coaches and mentors along the way. With the right education and help, coupled with his own hard-work ethics and positive attitude, he was able to achieve financial freedom whilst still at work full time. The decision to leave AstraZeneca wasn’t his though  – he was offered job relocation or take voluntary redundancy. He choose the latter. Mike & Raj pretty much started out in property at the same time and have followed a similar journey so they really enjoyed catching up and chatting about both their journey’s into property, Raj’s best & worst projects and also speak about their mutual strategy – social housing. Another fantastic & inspirational episode for our listeners, enjoy & as always, if you enjoyed this episode do please be so kind as to send us your feedback or review the Podcast. ************************************************************************************************************************************************** If you’d like to get in touch with Raj please connect with him via Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/rajberi123) or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/beriraj) or email him via [email protected]. *************************************************************************************************************************************************** If you’d like to get in touch with Mike please connect with him via Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/mikefrisbyproperty/) or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikefrisby/) or email him via [email protected]

In this episode of The Property Business Accelerator, Mike Frisby speaks with Tom Gatzen who is the co-founder of Ideal Flatmate, who's aim is to place people and personality at the heart of the flat-sharing experience not just the property and location. Ideal Flatmate is unique as it has an awesome algorithm which works to match-up tenants perfectly so that they can make an informed decision of who they live with and in turn, helps landlords with property management issues which often arise in HMO properties. Each person is asked to rank their feelings towards a series of statements covering everything from social habits, nocturnal activities and even doing the dishes. It also helps with tenant longevity as most landlords know, voids are a killer. Tom shares how Ideal Flatmate came into fruition, how it works for both tenants and landlords, how he rallied-around to find funding for his new venture and now that he's raised around £2.5 million, where he's going to take the business going forward including a future international move. Tom also shares a great offer with you all, if you email [email protected] using the code FRISBY50 you'll get a 50% discount to utilise the service.

In this episode of the Property Business Accelerator, Mike Frisby chats with his long-term mentee, Joe Crosbie. First of all, you ALL need to know Joe! He's awesome, has heaps of property knowledge and offers his time so freely to help and encourage other investors and this help for others most likely comes from his corporate career where he headed up a few charities. At the tender age of 50 years old, Joe had a rather scary awakening as many of us do, where he realised that he needed to significantly boost his pension and made the move from full-time employment over to property development. Going through the motions, Joe realised that property was two fold: Property Development = A cash pot for pension Property Investment = Income for now, Joe's new 'day job' Fast forward a few years to the end of 2018, Mike & Joe first met when Joe and his lovely wife, Karen, signed up to Mike's HMO Property Business Accelerator 12 month programme & they have been working together every since.    In this episode we hear more about Joe's property journey, his best deal (a flip) and his worst deal which is actually his current deal, they chat about planning and issues that arise with property conversions and how to overcome obstacles. Joe is also using his charity background and branching out into social housing, many people know that Mike is a social housing expert and he has been supporting Joe through this journey & they speak more about social housing as a property strategy. From this, in 2021, Joe has launched 'The Ethical Landlord' where he helps people share their good fortune and build a property portfolio providing homes for people who would otherwise be homeless. Joe also has a plan for the next year to have 28 properties & 56 tenants in his portfolio, this is investing and entrepreneurial behaviour at it's best. We hope that you enjoy this episode (we are sure you will) and please make a concerted effort to get in touch with Joe and add him to your property network, you can catch-up with Joe via the details below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-crosbie-property-developer-investor/ [email protected] https://cwhomeslondon.co.uk/ and get in touch with Joe to chat about The Ethical Landlord Project *************************************************************************************************************************************************** Mike Frisby 'Thank you for listening to my podcast, my aim is to deliver complex property knowledge made simple, direct from the property front-line'.

In this episode of the Property Business Accelerator, Mike chats with Juswant Rai who left the '9-5' to pursue multiple streams of income through the medium of property & who became one of the most prolific property network hosts in this country (along with his wife, Sylvia Rai). Juswant was stuck in the corporate world until one day he picked up a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad and it revolutionised his life. We all hope to get that 'aha' moment and this was definitely the case for Juswant, he explains that it certainly wasn't an over-night switch that flipped, it was a journey and it's this journey that is so interesting to hear about in our podcast episode.  The nugget that you take away from Juswant is to listen, it sounds simple but it's so effective and it's the foundation for everyone who wants to be successful, absorb everything.  He listened to what other successful property entrepreneurs were doing, what audio they were listening to and what books they were reading and thought 'right, if they're reading that book, I want to read it'.  It became about reprogramming his brain from being ingrained as an employee to moving ahead as an entrepreneur, which I'm sure resonates with so many of our listeners.  You'll see above that we mention that Juswant was one of the most prolific property network hosts in this country, that did not come easy to him at first, so much so that when he went to his first ever networking event, he had to leave early due to anxiety.  Mike asks him what made him go back and how he transitioned from leaving this event in sweats to network host. From networking, the connections started and then the investing started and we are so pleased to hear that the Rai's have never looked back. In this episode, we also chat about one of Juswant's best deals and discuss some key factors as to why it worked.  Lots of key learning's for investors, people looking to host meetings & business tips for people who run a property business - it's all there. Mike always end's off every episode asking his guest's for their 10 year vision, it's one of our favourite questions - look out for Juswant's answer, let's just say, the world is your oyster. A wonderful episode, a lovely rapport between host and guest - download or listen to it TODAY! *************************************************************************************************************************************************** If you'd like to get hold of Juswant, he would love to hear from you (and asked that you mention it to him that you got in touch from this podcast). email : [email protected] Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/juswantrai/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/juswantrai/ *************************************************************************************************************************************************** This is one again, complex property knowledge made simple - direct from the property front line.
