Perseverance and Necessity Kick Started my Property Journey - A Conversation with Emerald Fisk

Author: Kevin McDonnell April 16, 2024 Duration: 21:52
Join the conversation with Emerald Fisk, a former personal trainer turned successful property investor who shares her inspiring journey in this episode. Discover how Emerald went from having no money and support to building a thriving property portfolio through networking, education, and the right mindset. Learn about the challenges she faced, the opportunities she found, and the lessons she learned along the way. Emerald also shares valuable insights on the current property market, creative financing strategies, and the importance of investing in your local area. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Networking, education, and the right mindset are crucial for success in property investing, even with no prior experience or funds. Joint venture partnerships can be a powerful way to leverage other people's resources and expertise to get started in property. Embracing challenges, stepping out of your comfort zone, and believing in yourself are key to overcoming obstacles and achieving your goals. The current property market presents massive opportunities for educated investors, while tired and uneducated landlords are selling up. Investing in your local area can be more advantageous than chasing cheap deals in unfamiliar locations. Creative financing strategies, such as no money down investing, can help you build a portfolio without using your own funds. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people and learning from their experiences can help you develop a more open and growth-oriented mindset. BEST MOMENTS   "If I can do it, anybody can do it. You always need the right network around you, the right mindset and the right education. That's the three things that you need." "It's very hard to network when you don't have a conversation." "I see the educated people taking advantage of everything that's going on at the moment, and I see the uneducated people wanting to leave the property market." "If you're in the more expensive areas, that's great. Find people that want to work with you in those areas." "If you've got a closed mindset, the only way you can change that is go and spend time with other people with a more open mindset."
