On the one side, hardworking people are being forced to bleed their wages, are being heavily taxed on their property, and being punished for trying to invest. On the other side, the government are being outsmarted by another group who have learned, understood, and used strategies to keep more of their hard-earned cash to build wealth and financial freedom.  In this episode, I share five legal strategies investors use to make more and keep more. Why it is becoming increasingly dangerous to stay a normal saver, and the mistakes that investors make that cross the line from legal to illegal practices, and how you can avoid doing the same. Before we get into the episode, please remember that this does not constitute financial advice -  these are the principles I adopt as a professional investor, principles that save me 10s of £1000s every single year.  If you want to take the next step and put what you have learned from this podcast into action, you only need to click here - https://www.wealthbuilders.co.uk/progressive-podcast KEY TAKEAWAYS Educating yourself, staying up to date and adapting is essential. Those that simply use the most popular strategies often end up seeing their once highly profitable businesses begin to fail. Owning a rental personally or through a company can lead to different tax outcomes. Section 24 may restrict mortgage-interest relief for individual landlords, while companies have different tax implications. Buying a property-owning company’s shares can mean a different stamp-duty bill from buying its properties, but you also take on the company’s history. Due diligence is essential. Option agreements can secure the right to buy later, but each deal requires careful, professional legal drafting. Remortgaging may release cash without selling, but it remains borrowing. Debt has to be serviced, and higher rates or falling rents can increase leverage risk. BEST MOMENTS "There's a good reason we teach it in a room rather than reading it out in YouTube. Done without the right checks, this strategy can cost you far more than it saves."  "The educated investor asked a different question: How do I use the growth of my property value without selling it?" “I did this very thing with one of my own properties recently and made over £70,000 pounds.” if you want the full education, not just five strategies, but the whole deep dive taught properly, we are currently running a free webinar- MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property. With a 6-figure portfolio and expertise in creative strategies, finance, and off-market deals, Sean shares success stories from the Progressive Property community, expert insights, and real-world strategies to help investors succeed.
