Property investing is hard! It if was easy, everyone would do it.

Picture this: you’re standing beneath a rope suspended high above the ground, the sun beating down, and a gentle breeze providing little comfort. The rope stretches endlessly above, while the ground below feels miles away. You take a leap, gripping it with every ounce of strength you have.

At first, it seems easy. But soon, discomfort sets in. Your arms start to ache, your grip weakens, and doubt begins to creep in. How much longer can you hold on?

One by one, others let go, hitting the ground with a sigh of relief. But not you. You adjust your grip, take a deep breath, and hold on. The pain intensifies, but so does your determination. Then it dawns on you—success isn’t about extraordinary strength or skill. It’s about unwavering resolve. It’s about staying the course when everyone else has let go.

Property Investing is much the same. We all encounter moments where we want to give up—when responsibilities stack up, deadlines loom, and challenges seem insurmountable. But here’s the reality: success is not born from miracles; it's rooted in persistence. It’s about pushing through discomfort, making small adjustments, and trusting that progress is being made, even when it’s not immediately visible.

This week, I challenge you to hold on.

When the urge to throw in the towel arises, pause. Take a deep breath. Remember why you started. In property investing, deals may fall through, renovations can exceed budgets, and valuations might not align with expectations. But these hurdles are just part of the journey. A successful property investor is one who trusts in time and the process. 

I still own the first property I ever purchased. I vividly recall scraping together every penny, borrowing and maxing out credit cards. I even remember stopping at a petrol station to put £5 in my tank, just enough to get me home after a long day of viewings. I bought that property for £117,000. Fast forward 15 years, and it has revalued at £375,000.

So, trust the process and keep holding on. 

If you’re interested in our property consulting, sourcing, or renovation management, just drop me a line! Let’s navigate this journey together. Stay strong and stay in the game!

Video 6 St Pancras – No Money Down Developing

How is Frank different to other property investment training/ mentoring companies?

 The first thing is that we are ethical (it’s in the name.)

In Franks words - I know that’s a big thing to state but we stand by it and you can speak to any of our partners, employees or contractors and have them tell you that.  We strive to stand for integrity and high standards in a marketplace that admittedly can sometimes fall far below acceptable standards.

One of the reasons we run ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ seminars is so that you can find out, risk free, what we teach and what we stand for. We never ask people to team with us unless they know that we’re right for them and we know they’re right for us.

We also don’t simply teach property skills. We teach the critical mindset skills which work alongside it and which are CRITICAL to success. (Without them it’s like having the keys to a high powered car with an empty tank.)

Who is Frank Flegg? (in his own words)

 I started my career as a teacher (honing my ability to simplify and transfer information) before deciding to build a solid financial future for myself and my family and dedicating myself to mastering as many investment strategies as possible, eventually acquiring close to 60 properties and achieving my ultimate financial goal.

A few years ago I converted to Christianity and decided my life mission was to use my hard-won knowledge and skills to help others create their own property empires and fulfil their dreams.

 To date we have over 54 different strategies to source and monetise properties with both money down and no money down.

Whether you know precisely ZERO about property or whether you have an existing portfolio that isn’t performing as well as you’d like I know that I can help you to generate recurring revenue and financial freedom.
