Simon deep dives into the strategy of buying properties significantly below market value, sharing real-life case studies and insights from his students, and demonstrating that finding motivated sellers is key to securing profitable deals, even in a challenging market.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Buying below market value requires a shift in mindset. You must believe that someone would sell their property for less than its market value. The core of this strategy is finding a truly motivated seller. These are people with a problem—such as facing repossession, a difficult personal situation, or an organisational deadline You can use a strategy called "momentum investing" to build a property portfolio without constantly needing a new deposit. This involves buying a property at a significant discount, holding it for about six months, and then remortgaging it at its full market value Opportunities to buy below market value aren't limited to specific locations or types of sellers. Deals can be found in various locations, including expensive cities like London BEST MOMENTS "If you think you can, or think you can't, you're absolutely right." "What you need to do is put yourself into the shoes of the seller and understand their circumstances, where for some people selling their property, getting the sale done quickly and getting rid of this problem property is maybe more important than maximising the revenue from the sale." "The key is to be able to buy the property ideally at least 25% below market value."
