Mike was also part of the team that wrote the strategy for London for attracting global IT and headquarters companies and improved the steel works in South Wales. But after years of exchanging time for money, he wanted to be able to make more from his talent. A free Progressive Property seminar set him on the path that transformed his finances and outlook. He explains how persistence, education, the right mentoring and networking helped him create multiple streams of income from property. Using win-win deals Mike has helped lots of people as well as himself.

It´s never too late to learn. · Property success can be a numbers game. Initially, Mike looked at 60 properties, made offers on 58 of them and secured two. But holding out for the right deal meant he doubled his money on them. · There are many ways to make money from property – Progressive teaches them all and how to choose the right ones for you. · Progressive continually updates the methods they teach. Mike takes advantage of this to diversify e.g. he is currently giving Rent to HMO a go. · Profession relationships are vital – they help you uncover deals others miss and make what others can´t do, possible for you. That is why Progressive provides so many networking opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "You get to the point where you think, well, is this it, am I going to be doing this sort of forever? selling my time for money." "It's all about creating these win-win scenarios .…I personally don't go into any property deal if someone's going to lose." “Having multiple streams of income has never been more important … it secures you against a really fast-changing world that we're living in.” EPISODE RESOURCES Multiple Sources of Income Event - https://progressiveproperty.co.uk/msopi/ Join Mark Chadwick at the Progressive Property Network Event, that he hosts in Manchester - https://progressivepropertynetwork.co.uk/event-south-manchester 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.

  • Builder-for-Hire to Award-Winning Developer – Off Market Deals and Funding Them Using Other People´s Money with Matt Hawes

    Builder-for-Hire to Award-Winning Developer – Off Market Deals and Funding Them Using Other People´s Money with Matt Hawes
    May 26 2026
    Become a part of the Progressive Property refer-a-friend scheme and Earn up to £250 when someone attends one of our events – you can enrol here: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Property is literally one of the only investment vehicles I can think of where you can start, grow, and scale a business using none of your own money. Today, we're going to meet Matt, who tried to build a property portfolio the wrong way. Then he came to Progressive and learned how to do it right. He now uses none of his own money, works with private investors, and in this latest deal, the owner of the property is lending him the money to do the deal. If you want to take the next step and put what you have learned from this podcast into action, you only need to click here - https://www.wealthbuilders.co.uk/progressive-podcast KEY TAKEAWAYS Be proactive, drive around look for opportunities and approach owners directly to see if they are interested in doing a deal. Community and visibility are crucial: Progressive’s network provides brokers, architects, and investors. With the right architect and planning strategy, a single barn can be split into multiple smaller homes and even have floor space effectively doubled using mezzanines and smart design. Joint ventures, with landowners and private investor funding projects, allow you to scale without risking your own money. Having multiple exit strategies is wise. It ensures the deal works almost regardless of how the market changes of what issues you face. Progressive teaches all of the exit strategies. It was a LinkedIn post that led directly to Matt’s award‑winning joint venture deal. Put yourself out there and use Progressive´s techniques to leverage social media. BEST MOMENTS "Property is literally one of the only investment vehicles I can think of where you can start, grow, and scale a business using none of your own money." "Under class Q, permitted development, you can take a rundown old barn and convert it into high-yielding residential property without needing full planning permission … This is a property equivalent of turning dust into diamonds." "Wherever you are there´s always opportunities… I make a point when I'm driving around here, though I've lived there all my life, of going down different roads to get to different places."

  • How Progressive Greatly Improved a Seasoned Property Investor’s Strategy with Matthew Jennings

    How Progressive Greatly Improved a Seasoned Property Investor’s Strategy with Matthew Jennings
    May 19 2026
    Become a part of the Progressive Property refer-a-friend scheme and Earn up to £250 when someone attends one of our events – you can enrol here: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Sean speaks to Matthew Jennings about his extensive journey in property, from early hands-on renovations to building a seven-figure portfolio. Yet, despite all of that success and decades of experience, joining Progressive Property was still transformative. Matthew shares how it completely shifted his mindset, is helping him identify missed opportunities, refining his strategies, and unlocking new ways to grow his business. If you want to take the next step and put what you have learned from this podcast into action, you only need to click here - https://www.wealthbuilders.co.uk/progressive-podcast KEY TAKEAWAYS · Matthew scaled quickly using buy-to-let, refinancing and recycling deposits, growing a portfolio to over £1.25 million within five years. · Leveraging other people’s money, starting with a loan from the bank of mum and dad, enabled him to build momentum without needing large capital upfront. · Despite his success, Matthew realised through Progressive training that he still lacked key business skills. Particularly relating to marketing, branding, and strategic planning. · Progressive helped him understand advanced strategies - for example, how to control property without owning it, the importance of multiple income streams and which ones are right for each person´s situation. · Being part of the Progressive community opened Matthew´s eyes to collaboration, partnerships, and networking. Things he had previously overlooked. BEST MOMENTS "I had been managing family portfolios for years and successfully – Yet I knew next to nothing about key elements of what would make a successful business, in terms of goals and strategy." "It was through buy to flips, but predominantly was through buy to let, adding value, refinancing, and then buying more." "I had no money when I bought that property, and 20 months later I've sold a property. I've now got all of that equity. I'm able to buy my own home, and also another property, which we can let."
