Strategy And Education Leads To Success - with Alex and Blair Collie

This week, Mark Winship revisits his conversation with Alex and Blair Collie, a father-and-son team who operate Barras Property, with a particular focus on Rent-To-Buy, and how this strategy has taken them to new heights in 2020. Alex and Blair also discuss the many highlights of working as a family unit, and how to combat negativity on social media. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many enter the world of property investment in the hopes of providing some sort of nest egg for the future. Property is one of the surest ways in which to provide this passive income throughout life. Property investment allows us to take control of our own destinies instead of relinquishing that control to someone else. Knowledge and determination are the keys to unlocking this destiny. There are so many different strategies out there to allow us to acquire and monetise property. Many are not aware of these various methods. Education is paramount. Many are turned down for various reason when it comes to mortgages. This leads to a feeling of being trapped. Rent-To-Buy is a way of releasing people from that feeling and allowing them the freedom to become homeowners. BEST MOMENTS 'I never thought I would that this would become an accelerated plan, and that I would become a property investor' 'I understand how to leverage time, other people's money and knowledge and network. Education was absolutely everything' 'They have the pride that this is their home' 'It's amazing how many genuine opportunities there are to help people' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mark Email: [email protected] Mark Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-winship-68b34833 Barras Property - https://www.linkedin.com/company/barrasproperty/ Blair Collie LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/blair-collie/ Alex Collie LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexcollie/ Barras Property Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/barras_property/ Barras Property Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/barrasproperty/ ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
