James seems to be a tremendously nice bloke and gives out an incredible amount of free content. Shame this was quite an unfriendly call out video rather than an amicable debate between the two of you - maybe see something like that in the future.
Of course i would be open to a debate but the main reason for the sharpness in my video was due to his overwhelming negativity towards residential property which warrants a substantiated and uninterrupted response. A debate would certainly open up more topical conversation.
He does own a lot of residential property, if the deals or model are right for him, but I think his view point is more for the casual investor it’s not what it used to be for small time investors. Somebody like myself who doesn’t want to do development, exciting or complex strategies i can understand why he says it - he is a business owner and operator and having commercial property surrounding him enhancing his businesses
Completely agree, however that still doesn't give justification for why residential property is 'DEAD' as he claims, hence the reason for my response to make sure its a balanced perspective not a biased one.
@ oh I agree you are proof that you can make it work, even if you do just buy vanilla btl to hold, whilst it may not be massive cash flow and revenue generating for a lot of high earners, business owners or very proactive people like yourself, one residential investment can still be life changing for an average person like me who only makes 25-30k a year I don’t expect to ever earn huge amounts in my life but at least those will serve me well in retirement, one man’s dead is another man’s retirement plan I do love the content though keep doing what you’re doing, it’s always enjoyable to watch your success 👍👍
Love the comparison between these two! Always great to get different peoples perspective on topics for sure. However, Rye maybe next time you want to do one of these videos maybe try and find a little more of a like for like comparison to make it more interesting. You can definitely tell you know what you're doing with residential property but I do think in your comparison you are missing one MASSIVE point. James runs his whole property side of his business between himself, his PA and at tops one or two others, where you made clear you run yours with whole teams of people. You may have started your business in a same way but this isn't your 'side hussle' like him its your main gig. I think the point James makes with residential stuff is if your doing it as a 'side hussle' to your main business as a back up, if your only going to get 2-3 sites your better off going commercial where you can get more stability and monthly rev for the amount of effort you need to put in. If you get £900-£2k a month from a residential property but could get £10k/month from a commercial with both at a 10% margin, surely as a side hussle that makes more sense to go commercial, but if you want to focus on massive scale then your way is probably much better, he just isn't interested in loads of property which makes him more relatable to those who maybe have an inheritance and want to invest into a singular property. Hope that is helpful, I could be wrong but my thoughts. Good quality video though btw. T
Thank you for your feedback and insights, however i completely disagree. Commercial property producing 10% yields is measly, our clients who range from small to large investors are achieving 25-30% returns through residential investment which is a significantly greater return than anything commercial can offer as well as the entry point for commercial stock being much higher because its only the large sheds and logistic centres that have strong underlying demand, cheaper commercial stock like high streets and uppers simply don't have the use case anymore and therefore more risky for passive investors. Fundamentally his advice is just wrong because he is not a property expert and thats the main reason for the response because only experts should offer such conviction in there perspective otherwise it can be wrongfully misleading especially when his incentive is to sell business coaching not offer valuable insights for property investment.
James is an experienced business owner for sure and a good entertainer, but certainly not a smart property investor imo. I’ve spent a lot of time with him and his views on property seem to change back and forth a lot.
i watch your channel and james sinclair. both are very informative. however im looking to learn specifically how to make my first bit of capital, how much i need and what are the first steps to starting a business. do you have any videos sharing information on absolute beginner business and if so can you point me to it?
Both I and James have released videos on starting a business or property venture so they will be on our channels, fundamentally you have to find something you want to sink your teeth into then build the business case around that.
ooff one of my fav RUclipsrs slagging one of my fav RUclipsrs :D James always says he prefers commercial, spend £1m get 100k back in rent no mucking about and FRI terms, resi is a pain in the arse compared to commercial when deploying capital at scale.
You should respect his opinions and state why you disagree which is what you did but you did act like a child. James Sinclair does know his stuff and for the most part he is correct however property development and refurbishments you are correct is where you can make money. Unfortunately many want easy returns and not to refurbish. If you watch the full video before commenting, you will realize he owns the commercial property behind it and purchased it to support his commercial development plans
I don't get the video? He basically ends the video saying its just because it's next to his commercial units so helps with his planned development. Just picking his lines apart isn't looking at the long term plan he has.
You're missing the point. His whole argument is that residential investment is dead and goes on to showcase his project as an arbiter for why that is the case when in fact its just an awful example in the first place and therefore void. In fact the whole reason for his investment was to buy the land to fold into his commercial site nothing to do with residential development and certainly not offering any useful insights to support the case. Really he just saw opportunity to make a bad case for residential property to steer people towards his business coaching, this i would class as manipulative marketing and warrants a response otherwise we allow those with big voices to spread incorrect information that could tangibly affect real peoples decision making. Level the playing field.
@@beaupartnersNo, I got the point, I just think it's a weak one. He's creating entertainment from his own opinion, and you seem upset by it and create a strawman running commentary. Seems a weak grab for more exposure. I think it could be handled better, especially when this isn't the type of content James would respond to.
@@ethereum4.0 difference in opinion, personally if I see someone strongly misleading people online then this should be addressed especially when its just to sell more business training and not actually educate people.
@@beaupartners I'd agree but this man isn't a charlatan. He offers so much free information about business and entrepreneurship it's ridiculous. I sound like I get affiliate money but I'm baffled at how much he offers and you can tell he really does care. Which is incredibly rare.

Thank you Kamal!

Thanks for watching! Agreed to some extent but theres a reason the biggest property companies in the UK are residential PLC's not commercial ones.
why did he go full on tory lmao

'act like a child' because I'm substantiating from data rather than opinion?
@@beaupartners children can quote data also
I don't get the video? He basically ends the video saying its just because it's next to his commercial units so helps with his planned development. Just picking his lines apart isn't looking at the long term plan he has.
Hes just weighing up pros and cons in an entertaining way. The constant commentary is a bit of a strawman fallacy
