Summary

In today’s episode, Rob & Rob are joined by a special guest… Mark Morris. You may or may not have heard of Mark, but he’s a successful property investor who has been in this industry for decades!   The end-game of property investing is to retire right? Well, find out the valuable lessons Mark learnt along the way to his success. It didn’t happen overnight, but he’s about to share his story with us. Mark reveals all with his property journey, about his mistakes, successes and investments. This episode is a MUST listen... Achieving your dreams isn’t easy, but we want to help you get on the right track.  So, are you ready to achieve your goals? Grab a pen and paper and let's start planning!    In the news this week, The Robs have HUGE news for investors and landlords! And they are really happy about this one!  The Government has rejected Liverpool’s renewal of the citywide licensing scheme which is hated by most landlords.  The Robs think this is great news all round as the Government can now focus on areas that are needed and have low standards, which is what the scheme originally intended to do. So this is definitely positive news for our number one location hotspot of 2020!    This week’s Hub Extra is a super basic, super quick but super useful guide!  It actually ties in nicely with today’s podcast episode.  It’s the “How to rent guide” which is a Government document that you need to issue to tenants. This resource automatically checks the Government’s website every hour and if any tweaks have been made you get an email which completely removes the risks of future trouble.  The Robs love this resource; it makes your life hassle free. The best thing about it is that it’s completely free and you don’t have to think about it.  It’s really easy to give tenants an old guide that isn’t updated, which can cause trouble down the line, but it's an easy mistake to be made. Register to get the ‘how to rent guide’ to make sure you don't miss an update. We all love resources that help us!    We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.   Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!

Now between us Rob and I have got a reasonable and had experience in the old property game,

0:09.5

but we're being completely outdone this week. We've got a true legend of the game that is so good at property he's been able to retire.

Welcome to the Property Podcast where every Thursday property investors come to be

0:26.7

informed and inspired and there's so much to be inspired by in this week's

0:31.2

episode. We so often hear from people who are along the journey, but

0:35.1

our guest this week is already there. So what's it like to achieve your goals?

0:38.8

We'll find out in just a minute.

So a big news story for property investors and landlords this week. The government

rejects the renewal of the Liverpool Citywide licensing scheme. Now this is about Liverpool but Rob you've got a passion

0:54.8

for all things licensing and detail like that so I'll hold back and let you take

0:58.9

this one. Well I did get weirdly excited by this story I posted it in our

1:02.2

company Slack channel during the weekend

1:04.7

said it was huge news which I think was really stretching the definition of huge because

1:09.6

most people are not going to care about this at all. But if you are a bit of a geek when it comes

1:14.7

to this kind of thing, it is kind of big news because councils love introducing licensing schemes

1:19.7

and this is a setback. Liverpool City Council is one of the first to introduce licensing citywide and at the time

1:27.4

that they did it, which is nearly five years ago, they could just do that without having

1:31.6

to get permission from the national government.

1:34.0

However, because others followed in their footsteps and it was controversial to introduce

1:38.1

this citywide when really it was only intended to be using in specific areas where

1:42.2

it was necessary.
