5 Mistakes You've Already Made in 2026

Simon shares insights on the five common mistakes property investors might already be making as the new year begins. Emphasising the importance of taking action early, he encourages you to start viewing and making offers on properties, especially as motivated sellers emerge after the holiday season. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people delay viewing properties and making offers after the holiday season. Taking action early in January can lead to securing great deals, especially from motivated sellers looking to offload properties. There is an online training day on January 10th featuring top property experts. Registering for such events can provide valuable insights and strategies to make 2026 a successful year in property investment. It's crucial to have a well-defined plan for what you want to achieve in 2026. Break down your goals into actionable steps to track your progress and stay focused throughout the year. Many people set goals that are too easily achievable. Instead, aim for ambitious goals that challenge you and require you to learn and grow, pushing you beyond your comfort zone. BEST MOMENTS "If you haven't started yet, frankly, I think you're missing out. I really encourage you as an action for this podcast is get viewing properties, start making offers and see what happens." "If you fail to have a plan, you're going to fit into someone else's plan. I'm a great believer in not only setting your goals but also coming up with a plan." "Why not set goals that are so big, you don't know how to achieve them? That's a good thing. Stop worrying about the how, instead focus on what do you actually want to achieve." "The early bird catches the worm, take action. And I look forward to sharing future podcasts with you over this year, 2026, which is going to be an amazing year to invest in property."
