The Value Of Experience - with Stephen Riley and Bruce Marshall

SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE VIDEO CONTENT - https://www.youtube.com/c/propertywealthsystem In this week's show, James D'Souza talks to Stephen Riley and Bruce Marshall, of Riley Marshall Investments, about the ways in which they turned their property dreams into a reality. As former lettings agents, Bruce and Stephen saw the potential to grow their own business, and turned a five-figure profit in the very first month. Since then, they have gone on to merge with one of the largest estate agents in the UK. In this episode, hear all about how Stephen and Bruce staked their claim in the property world, and about their plans for the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Taking the steps to build a strong, robust property portfolio is a vital one in creating a passive, diverse income for ourselves. Stephen and Bruce credit their property journey with reducing the stress that would have been caused by the lockdown situation. The creativity comes from the developing a lucrative deal. Once you have the deal in place, you then need to set about ensuring that it generates a passive income for the life of the investment. Planning elements can be fragile at the outset of a property journey, but through experience and education come wisdom. On the upturns in the market, we should seek to maximise profits for the long term. We must use the wins in the present to insulate ourselves against potential losses in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'If you encounter a challenge you think to yourself, okay - let's deal with it' 'The real wealth was being made by our clients' 'We're exposed to this world, but we're not taking advantage of the potential out there' 'You live and you learn, and part of this journey is paying some of those fees along the way' VALUABLE RESOURCES Riley Marshall Investments Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RileyMarshallInvestments/ Riley Marshall Investments LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/riley-marshall-investments/ This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591 ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
