Hi all, thought I'd introduce myself. All new to this and just started on my property investment journey.... exciting and scary at the same time. But very much looking forward to learning much much more this week at the academy. Looking forward to what the next 12 months will bring!!

Not every good property deal starts with a beautiful house or a straightforward buy-to-let. Sometimes, the opportunity lies in a property most investors would drive past without giving it a second thought. Think of an old village pub that has lost its purpose. The building might look like a headache, but could it have another life as residential accommodation? Of course, planning permission, building condition, conversion costs, local demand and the exit strategy all have to stack up before the numbers make sense. That’s the part of property I find interesting: seeing potential where others see problems. But here’s the question I’d love to hear your thoughts on: If you came across an old pub in England, would you explore converting it into flats, or would you walk away because of the planning risks? And what would you check first?

I wanted to ask for recommendations. I am at the beginning & trying to build my power team. I did not register my LTD yet. I was wondering if someone can suggest first of all an accountant who understands this type of business, investing in properties using investors money. Because I am renting I may need to use their address. Also solicitor etc. I am interested in BRRR. Looking to start with a small project to gain knowledge, confidence & cash flow. I am expecting few properties will be coming on the market soon, which need great amount of updating. I would like to be ready to put an offer before someone else will snap it up. Thinking to JV with a builder & looking for an investor. I don’t have a website or logo yet, but you can easily find me on this small island & I will I tell you everything. 😅

It’s actually happening tomorrow, and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone at the AFL Birthday Weekender. For 11 years, Assets For Life has been about bringing ambitious people together to build more wealth, more freedom and bigger futures through property and business. And this weekend is all about celebrating that community. We’ve got an incredible line-up joining us Levi Roots, Scarlette Douglas, Jesson James, Phil Elder, Phil Harris, Paul Rawson and myself plus two days of ideas, learning, conversations and plenty of energy. And of course, it’s not just about the sessions. I’m looking forward to the BBQ Garden Party, live giveaways, networking, catching up with the community and the VIP Afterparty. I genuinely think this is going to be a weekend we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re already booked in, I’ll see you tomorrow! And if you’ve been sitting on the fence, there are still a few tickets left. 👉 If you want to join us, you can do that here: https://events.assetsforlife.uk/birthday-weekender-ticket-sales Who’s getting excited?

I honestly can’t wait for this one. We’re bringing the AFL community together for two days of learning, connection, ideas and celebration as we mark 11 years of Assets For Life. If you’re building your property business and wondering what the next level looks like, this weekend is for you. We’ll be talking about how to build, grow and position your property business, as well as how AI, social media and modern technology can help you create more visibility, more opportunities and smarter systems. But beyond all of that, I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone in the room, catching up with familiar faces, meeting new members and having those conversations that could spark something completely new.
