How I Became Financially Free with Neil Cowmeadow

How I Became Financially Free with Neil Cowmeadow

Author: Kevin McDonnell August 27, 2024 Duration: 21:03
Kev is joined by fellow property investor and podcast host of the Tutor Podcast, Neil Cowmeadow. Neil first started investing in property 8 years ago and shares with Kev the upsides, downsides and the many lessons he has learnt along the way. Neil also talks about why he trained with Progressive Property and how he became financially free. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Most financial advisors aren’t financially free themselves. They are still just working a job. Neil did a couple of property flips before finding Progressive Property and got his knowledge through reading property books. He started attending some of the free Progressive courses and then began doing some of the paid ones. Training with Progressive Property allowed Neil to implement a strategy he knew would work for him and that was tried and tested.  Neil now has 21 rental properties and has used 400k of other people’s money to not only give them value for money, but also allow him to grow and scale as a property investor. No matter where you live, there will be a property strategy that will work in your location. There are great books out there on property investing but nothing compares to learning from experts directly and networking in a room alongside people on the same journey as you. BEST MOMENTS   "Sunk some money in, thinking the cost of a course would be less than the cost of implementing a failed strategy” “I wouldn’t have had the skillset, the belief, that possibility of scale (without Progressive Property training)” “I’m doing just single lets at the moment as they take less of my time” “It’s all based on how much you know and you can read…but the very best thing I’ve found is to get in a room with people who are also travelling in the same direction” "If I can do it anybody can"  "Believe in yourself, no one is coming to the rescue"  VALUABLE RESOURCES www.neilcowmeadow.com info@neilcowmeadow.com Twitter @tutorpodcast MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.
