Warm welcome (Shall we say "Hot" ) 🤔 to our new members : @Damian Mullan @Wendy McKeown @Tim Yu @Shaun Morgan I hope you will get tonnes of walue out of the Community and you will share your experience and we will enrich and grow together. You may introduce yourselves.. If you could tell a little about your background,your journey , your plans and aspirations ... Also your struggles (if you have ) ...What would you like to take out ...such as start to invest Creatively...perhaps to get your first Lease Option or Assisted deal over the line in 60 days etc. Good luck.

Most people think a Lease Option is a "safe" entry into property. It isn't- If you get the price wrong! Here's what I've learned across 20 + acquisitions using creative strategies in Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, London and beyond: The structure doesn't save a bad deal- The numbers do. What is a Lease Option? A Lease Option gives you the right but not the obligation to purchase a property at a pre-agreed price, at a future point in time. You control the asset, generate returns, and only commit to the purchase when it makes sense. No mortgage. No large capital outlay. Creative acquisition at its core. But here's where investors go wrong. The "Hope Trap" and how to avoid it? I see it constantly: Buyers getting seduced by an easy entry. They agree to a fixed future purchase price that sits above current market value, banking on the market rising to justify it. They didn't acquire a deal. They overpaid for a structure. My golden rule: The future purchase price must make sense at today's value — not tomorrow's hope. If your deal only works because prices keep rising indefinitely, you aren't investing. You're speculating. And in property, speculation with your financial future is a risk you cannot afford! How do I evaluate a Lease Option deal ? ✅ Strip the emotion. Run the numbers without "what ifs" or optimism bias. ✅ Value it at today's price. If you had to buy this property outright right now, would the purchase price hold up against comparable sales? ✅ Structure for safety. The strategy itself — the cashflow, the control, the option terms should generate the return. Not market inflation. ✅ Check the exit. Can you refinance at the option price and sell on to another investor or first time buyer? Perhaps to a "Tenant Buyer" profitably throughout the option period?! ✅ Negotiate the terms. Option period length, monthly payments, maintenance responsibilities ,Insurance and taxes — every clause matters. Property is mathematics, not mythology. The most powerful thing about Creative strategies like Lease Options is that they let you win on the way in — without large capital, without mortgage exposure, without gambling on future conditions.

# AI & USING IT IN PROPERTY BUSSINESS &PROPERTY INVESTMENTS I had attended a webinar organised by Rob Moore few weeks ago. His guest was Sabrina Stocker MBA. I have posted here about it in different platforms including #LinkedIn and explained how much I enjoyed it and how "mind blowing" session it was and great experience for me ! There were tonnes of value for me and I guess for most of others who joined in the programme too. During the session we learned that AI is not only for gathering information or asking questions and getting quick answers or for fact checking ...we will be using it for setting up and building bussinesses ... answering phones communicating with our clients , organising and replying to our emails and organising our diaries and booking appointments etc. At the end of my post I concluded:"I have learned that 70% of jobs will be done and replaced by AI by 2030!So we all need to catch up with the AI revolution and prepare ourselves for the new age" 🙏 Since then I have made considerable efforts to catch up and improve ... Meanwhile, I have created few content about this and also planning to create few more content where I will be sharing my experiences... I will be also covering how we can use the new tools ,techniques and AI in Property Bussiness,Property Investment and Property Trading! I will also cover my experience and share them with you ! Are you using AI in your Property Bussiness and how?What are your experiences so far and what kind of changes you have made or planning to do so far in your bussiness? #AI #PropertyBussiness #PropertyInvestment #AIandPropertyInvestment #UsingAIinPropertyBussiness #InvestingCreatively #AssistedSale #InvestInManchester

I would like to welcome a new member @Denis Panjuta to you all. Denis is a star 🌟 in his own right ! He is an authority in new technologies , Social media platforms- especially in LinkedIn. He is helping entrepreneurs, bussiness owners to establish themselves in social media ...use social media to grow and monetise...etc. He has great journey and a huge following in LinkedIn. Who knows he might share some of his tricks of the trade with us - and we turn him into "Creative Property Investor"🤞 Denis is a little distance away from us... based in Germany 🇩🇪 but for investment there is no geographical barriers mowadays any more. As you know I am not only investing in Manchester ...I am investing all ower the country...including Liverpool,County Durham,New Castle ...lately even in East London ... (I will tell a bit more later ...how we can invest in even in the South- especially in London while some people are stuck ...as "mortgage prisoners " in their own home and they can't get out - but we have the keys for these problems...) 🤞🙏
