Simon examines the importance of creative thinking in property investment, positioning property investors as problem solvers. He illustrates how understanding the true motivations of sellers can lead to innovative solutions that benefit both parties, and why we should adopt a broader perspective when approaching property deals, exploring various strategies to achieve win-win outcomes.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investors should approach their role as entrepreneurs and problem solvers, focusing on understanding the true needs and motivations of property sellers to find innovative solutions. Instead of selling a property to access funds for new deals, investors can consider options like remortgaging or finding joint venture partners to leverage existing equity without losing ownership. It's crucial to ask questions and listen to sellers to uncover their underlying problems and goals, which can lead to mutually beneficial solutions that satisfy both parties. By providing value to sellers and addressing their needs, investors can create scenarios where both parties benefit, leading to successful property transactions. Engaging with case studies and learning from others in the field can enhance creative thinking and problem-solving skills, enabling investors to identify more opportunities in the property market. BEST MOMENTS "An entrepreneur spots a problem in the market, they come up with a solution that people are prepared to pay for." "When we find a seller who wants to sell a property, we need to understand what are they actually trying to achieve?" "If you give the other person what they want, they're more likely to give you what you want." "It's all about thinking what's the end game I want to achieve and what are the different ways, what are the different creative strategies I can use to get to that end point."
