our five golden rules for novice and aspiring property investors

1) Don’t go alone! 
Throughout our property investment journey, we have often reflected on how much worse off we would be if we’d have tried to do this solo. Support of all kinds is key at challenging times, so do not leave yourself without this. 

2) Be adaptable...
but not a walk-over. Do your research, set up your infrastructure, formulate your plan and have confidence in that. From area identification, building your power team and your all important numbers. 
 
3) Build Relationships
Do not underestimate the importance of building relationships. From estate agents, local tradesmen, solicitors, mortgage brokers and beyond. These will form your power team. 

4) Organisation & perseverance are key. 
In fact, one brings the other. Organise yourself, affording you more freedom to perform the consistent tasks that can truly impact your business, regularly  
 
5) Take time to reflect...
and acknowledge your efforts and separate and enjoy free time. It is easy to get overwhelmed, but making time to enjoy things, no matter how small is important.
