Crypto is a multidisciplinary field. Whether it’s finance, sociology, history, or philosophy—the list goes on. However, what about astrology? Can crypto be predicted using it? Maren makes the case for why. And she's got the track record to prove it.

In this episode, we dive into Maren’s astrological crypto trading methods, her responses to the main critiques, what lies ahead in the coming months and remaining decade, and so much more.

Today's episode is all about figuring out what you're good at. So many people spend hours a day trying to "round themselves out" or wonder why they can't do certain things. When in reality the keys to success rely on focusing in on your strengths. Figure out what you are good at and do it, forever. For example, I'm one of the only people I know that can work 18 hours a day every day. Thats my competitive advantage, that's what I'm good at... so I do it. Find what that is for you and you will never look back.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.

Is BMV dead or is there still a way you can do a deal?

In the property world we love bagging ourselves a deal. But right now, the property market is incredibly hot.  

So, does that mean doing a deal or better yet a BMV (below market value) deal is almost impossible? 

That’s what we’re going to explore in today’s episode so make sure you tune in.  

If you want to learn more, check out our free course on how to get a deal. 

In the news 

If you listened to last week’s episode, you’ll remember that we were stunned by some data from the US property market.  

It was the fact that the US property market is up 23% year on year which is crazy! We promised to investigate more into this and we’re keeping our promise.  

That figure was based on existing inventory, not new build homes. So, the growth was actually 15.8% which still makes our own boom look like nothing.  

This data was taken from a Forbes article where it looks at America’s states.  

Another news story we spotted this week was ‘owners of low-rise flats freed from wall safety certificate need’. In a nutshell, anyone who owns a property in a building smaller than 18 metres no longer need an EWS1 certificate.  

Hub Extra 

This week’s Hub Extra recommendation is a book from Rob B. It’s a combination between sport and business so if you have an interest in either, you’ll enjoy this book. 

It’s called ‘Relentless: 12 Rounds to Success’ by Eddie Hearn. 

This isn’t a rags-to-riches story because Eddie Hearn came from a wealthy family (which he acknowledges in the book), but is covers the struggles he had to overcome to be his own successful person and step out of his father’s shadow.  

Let’s get social 

We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do. 

Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!  

If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.

It’s the last market update this week! To round off the past 10 weeks or so, Rob & Rob are having a moment of reflection. 

They’re taking a look at what topics they’ve discussed during the market updates and are sharing the lessons they’ve learnt from the coronavirus situation that you can also learn a few things from. 

The Robs are also discussing a report from Rightmove that has seen a spike in the number of people looking for rental accommodation. This is due to people changing jobs and moving locations, but also personal circumstances changing. 

But is it just another headline, or is there actually some truth behind it?

Tune in to find out.

Enjoy!

This week we’re answering questions from some of the smartest investors we know…those who were smart enough to want to spend a day in person with us! In January we held our first Property Hub Summit, where we spent a whole day locked in a room with 20 other investors, troubleshooting and brainstorming each other’s challenges […]
