Listen "How to Benefit And Profit From Assets You Dont Own With Sean-Paul Stephenson"
Episode Synopsis
Fredrik is talking with Sean-Paul Stephenson who has a background in banking and lending and is now working with rent to rent and serviced accommodation.
He is a rent to rent mentor coach for HMO and SA with his own property journey spanning in excess of 20 years and is the founder of a rapidly growing property training company
The aspect of not owning things but controlling them is very intriguing, along with customer demand changing from owning to temporarily using things.
It is more and more popular to change things around quickly so how can you monetise this changing trend and be agile in this market. Sean shares how he has done it, listen in and be inspired.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We take an asset and repurpose it using it for something different.
We might take a property and use it in a different strategy making a profit from it.
It’s disrupted the property market in the way uber disrupted the taxi sector.
It may only be around for the short term but it currently has good returns.
Currently, air BnB only accounts for 3% of any overnight stays in this country so there are still great opportunities.
We work in the uber space of the property market, Airbnb, where you can control something but not own it.
For rent to rent we don’t own the asset so we are agile and can give it back if the market alters.
There is massive scope in the ‘not to own sector’ and the opportunities across the vehicle sector are massive.
To get a property you have to transfer certainty. Whether it’s through your systems, website or how you speak to people.
You need to transfer certainty to the landlord and letting agent to be able to secure the property.
I’ve grown more in the last few years because I’ve invested in myself. The more you learn the more you earn, every time I’ve been on a course, listened to a podcast, read a book I’ve learnt more and this has led to me earning more.
The power of helping others without the big ask in return
It’s a great way to do any kind of business.
The more I give away the more I get back
BEST MOMENTS
‘It was nerve-wracking to start but people could get to know me. It’s improved my business tenfold’
‘You need to transfer certainty, it’s huge’
‘By leveraging the landlord’s power team, it has taken a lot of my work away’
‘He took bits of information and advice from different source and moulded it together into something that was useful for him’
