Episode 143: WHY are any of us investing in property?

Simon and Stuart are chatting about whys, goals, plans, pensions, and budgets! The discussion this week includes: Our goals when we started in property. Property income as an income to live off. Plan better than we did! Thinking out to a pension. Consider cutting back to make goals easier. What does/would your "good life" look like? We previously talked about pension pot sizes. Choosing not to save in a traditional pension plan. Stuart's financial freedom steps: Financial security. Financial independence. Financial freedom. Five "why"s. Working from base, personal, goals. Taking the time to minimise personal outgoings. You Need a Budget - online tool and book. Maintaining a regular household budget. Introducing children to a household budget.

The Business of Property follows the journey of two entrepreneurs working in the property world. Stuart is a property investor with a focus on HMOs, mostly for the student market. He prefers a hands-off approach with most of his investment properties being remote. Simon has a small portfolio of vanilla buy-to-let properties that he mostly self-manages. To make his property management easier he created Property and Tenant Manager (https://www.patma.co.uk/). Simon and Stuart, along with guests, discuss the ups and downs they're experiencing in their property businesses. Along the way they share property news, business tips and anything else that happens to crop up their weekly chats.
