If you’re serious about remote investing, attending a local Property Investors Network (pin) meeting is one of the smartest steps you can take. I started these meetings back in 2003 because, at the time, there was no real community for investors. Since then, we’ve grown into the UK’s largest and longest-running property network, with over 45 meetings across the country—and even a couple in the Netherlands.
A pin Meetings is powerful because they connect you with like-minded people. You’ll meet others who are investing in the area, hear speakers with years of experience, and find recommendations for local agents, tradespeople, and property managers. If you’re new to an area, there’s no better way to build your local team quickly and effectively.
And here’s something special: if you’ve never been to a pin meeting before, you can attend your first one for free using the voucher code YouTube when booking at pinmeeting.co.uk.
As you build your portfolio, remember this—wealthy people invest for the long term. They aren’t chasing quick cash; they’re creating generational wealth. That’s why I always encourage investors to think beyond the short-term gains and hold properties over time. And as long as you’re following the five golden rules I outline in my book Property Magic—buy from motivated sellers, ensure strong rental demand, make positive cash flow, plan for the long term, and maintain a cash buffer—you’ll minimize your risk and maximize your reward.
So whether you’re investing locally or remotely, the most important thing is to start with knowledge, build the right team, and commit to a long-term vision. The property market will have its ups and downs, but if you follow the right strategy, you’ll be positioned for lasting success.
