This month, my two worlds collide, that of estate agency and that of mindfulness. I talk to a friend Johnny Marcelin about a recent 10 day silent retreat he felt the urge to do, and how it has helped him feel more at home in his body and in his house.

During the boom I bought property, rennovated it and sold it on for a profit. I also bought property with no clear strategy and that proved to be a disaster. Right now I'm looking afresh at the whole business of making money out of property and am starting off with this "ladybird" guide. Thanks for listening!

Ever look in an estate agent's window while on holidays? I do! This time however, I screwed up my courage and actually stepped inside. I was very grateful that Eduardo Teixeira da Cunha of Chestertons Estate agents in Porto, Portugal, took time to talk to me about the business of property purchasing in Portugal.... he also shared a fair bit of his philosophy too! If you'd like to contact Eduardo, click on the link below to be brought to his site. Thanks for listening.

Have you ever thought about renting out a room in your home? This week, in a "making money from property" episode, I talk to Aisling about "sweating" the family home asset . Aisling tells us how she used income generated by renting out a bedroom on Air BnB to help pay for the repainting of her family home. An interesting tale told by a wise and pragmatic woman.

Isn't it a bit scary to buy a property with a friend? Not if you're brave, decisive and energetic like this week's podcast guest, Aimee Ryan who has just done it. As though this transaction in itself wasn't daunting enough, Aimee has found herself doing a lot of the building work, along with holding down her full time job. Exhausted yet? I am!

The records that estate agents are required to keep are actually an important part of the legal fight against money laundering.

Here's a link to the course on Antimoney laundering and GDPR that they're running on 4th April https://www.regsol.ie/public-training-schedule.php......after this episode, I'll be attending it!

Regina Mangan, of Liberty Blue Estate Agents, shares (very generously) all of the systems that she uses in the property rental side of her business. During our conversation it becomes completely clear that any agent would be well advised to automate the "low value" work and allow their staff become focussed on client facing work. Listening to Regina, you will be inspired! I certainly was.
