Simon shares a cautionary tale about the importance of being selective about the advice you receive in the property investing world. Drawing from a recent experience with an estate agent who provided incorrect information about a property for sale, he discusses the need to critically evaluate the expertise and credibility of individuals offering guidance in property investment.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Be cautious of who you listen to, especially in the property industry, as misinformation can lead to costly mistakes. Verify information provided by professionals such as estate agents, builders, and advisors to ensure it aligns with current regulations and best practices. Seek advice from experienced mentors and coaches in property investing who have a proven track record of success. Take personal responsibility for investment decisions and conduct thorough research before making any commitments. Attend the National Virtual PIN Meeting in August to gain valuable insights on the impact of the new Labour government on property investing and network with industry experts. BEST MOMENTS "Imagine an investor who didn't know as much believes what this agent said. They could be in serious, serious difficulty if they bought that property." "I've been teaching people how to invest in property for 21 years. I've been investing myself for 29 years, but I still don't know everything." "The danger here, someone could say oh yes I'll have that property, they put down their 4.25% which is the best part of £11,000 plus VAT, which is non-refundable by the way." "So the moral of this whole podcast, and I hope you've got the message, please, please be careful of who you listen to especially in a state agent they should have a bit of knowledge letting agent a builder."
