Turning Properties into Profits: A Conversation with Wendy Brumwell, Commercial Conversion Entrepreneur

Author: Kevin McDonnell April 9, 2024 Duration: 25:15
Wendy Brumwell, a successful commercial conversion property investor joins Kev in this episode. Wendy talks about the strategies she has used in the past 11 years of her property investing journey and shares the lessons she has learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS  For ten years Wendy knew what she wanted to do in property but she thought she had to have the cash to do it. She immediately realised this wasn’t the case when she attended her first property investing course. Permitted development ‘PD’ is planning that is already set at a government level. This means as long as you meet all of the criteria outlined then you already have agreed planning permission. Wendy takes time every morning to do something for her whether such as reading or exercise. She does this to set up her day. Wendy learnt so many lessons from her self-build project that she now wants to do it all over again! Anybody can do property, including commercial conversions. They just need the right education.  BEST MOMENTS   "You spent ten years saving it all up, I spent ten years messing it all up” “Sometimes being an entrepreneur, if you enjoy what you do it doesn’t feel like work” “I learnt so much from it that I would do it again and do all those things differently” "You can start with smaller projects and work your way up" VALUABLE RESOURCES 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.
