Interview With Property Investor, VIP Mentor & Lettings Agency Owner; Derek Pape

Tune in to today’s episode of the Progressive Property Podcast to hear you host, Peter Jones interview prestigious property investor, VIP mentor and letting agency owner, Derek Pape. Derek and Peter discuss all things property from creative investment strategies to advertising your property business, why mentors matter and how to be successful in property.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Education and knowledge. If you ever want to succeed in anything you do in your personal life or even your business life, you should always try to learn about that thing you want to do, get the knowledge that surrounds that thing that you want to do.  Creativity. You must always have a creative mind if you ever want to survive in this world and be successful. This always comes in handy when you come across very difficult situations like being fired by your boss, losing your company etc.  Avoid panicking. Being strong and not always panicking when you are faced by challenges helps a lot because you even come up with a solution very fast and you get to solve the problem before it gets worse.  Advertisements. When you start your business, always try and spread the word about it to the people by advertising it so that people can have the information about it so that when they may need your services or their friends need your services, they may refer them to you or contact you on their behalf. With this, be sure that your business will grow very fast.  Having a mentor. This is a very good thing to do if you ever want to achieve success in your life because mentors help you to make a very wise decision on the things you want to ever do in your life.  Teamwork or partnership. If you want to achieve success in your life, you should always find someone who you can work with and achieve your goals.   BEST MOMENTS  “You don't know what you don't know.”  “If we knew then what we know now we would run the business totally differently.”  “You don't need money to invest in property because you can do options and you can do delayed completions.”  “We’re not all good at everything, but we are all good at some things.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  http://www.thepropertyteacher.co.uk/  ABOUT THE GUEST  Derek Pape is a VIP mentor and also has a Letting agency. Derek is kindred spirited minded.
