Replacing my 45k Teaching Job with ONE Deal | Sean Fitzpatrick

Replacing my 45k Teaching Job with ONE Deal | Sean Fitzpatrick

Author: Kevin McDonnell August 13, 2024 Duration: 24:47
Sean Fitzpatrick joins Kev to talk about what he has been doing on his property investment journey. He shares why one deal was enough for him to quit his job, and the value of the Progressive community and talks about why investing in your own local area is excellent advice! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Sean was told all his life to study hard and get to university, but it was whilst he was there, that he realised that his degree left him very few real options to make a living. He moved to England and sang in church choirs as this provided him accommodation. After a few years, he then became a school teacher but it became exhausting and he knew he needed to do something differently. After listening to the audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, something in his brain flipped and he started to think of ways he could turn his current property into an asset. Robert Kiyosaki said he completed a no money down course, and it changed his life so Sean looked into doing a no money down course too, and this is how he found Progressive Property. Sean began to implement some of the things Kevin had told him to do on the course and they worked. In one deal, Sean managed to make enough to earn more than his monthly salary as a teacher and it was then he considered quitting his full-time job. Since his first deal Sean has worked on flipping properties and well as standard buy-to-lets. BEST MOMENTS   "I started getting that niggling feeling inside that something wasn’t right, I needed to do something different, I realised unless I did something fairly drastic I would be stuck in the system of constantly working for very little pay” “Robert Kiyosaki mentioned he did a no money down course and that’s the thing that changed his life” “It turns out that Kevin McDonnell was right!” “Follow the successful and the success follows” “That one deal gave me the flexibility of thinking about leaving my job” VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sean.fitzpatrick.752/?_rdr 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.
