    354 - The Deal of The Year: 32 New Build Units Generating £1.8m Profit
    2026/04/01
    In this 50th episode of the Deals Deals Deals Blueprint Podcast, our host Mark Barrett welcomes Mark Jones and Meena Kanagavel, winners of the Property Entrepreneur Advanced Deal of the Year Award, to explore how they scaled from doing an HMO conversion and office conversion to a 9-unit development and delivering an award winning 23-unit scheme. This episode gently touches on the tragic loss of Mark's son Luke just before his 23rd birthday and the reason for their mission to deliver a 23-unit scheme in his memory. We look at their corporate backgrounds and the transferable skills that allowed them to be able to do a 9-unit new build scheme and the 23-unit scheme in Luke's memory. Listen to the actual numbers, how they missed out on a deal which was a blessing, to sourcing the two sites, joint venture structures, their Top Three Tips and the metrics they now use to secure sites. Since joining Property Entrepreneur in 2023, Mark and Meena are now on the PE Advanced program and have also spent the last two years in Josh Keegan's mastermind group, accelerating their growth into larger-scale developments.

  • 353 - Challenge - Make £1M in 90 Days!!!

    353 - Challenge - Make £1M in 90 Days!!!
    2026/03/31

    What if you gave yourself 90 days to create £1 million in value from a single property deal?

    In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I break down a challenge I've set myself just for fun on a deal we're working through right now using a structured asset management strategy designed to unlock real value fast.

    The model is simple, but powerful:

    Source – Off-market opportunities

    Stack – Value created per unit

    Secure – Cash and bridging finance

    Strategy – Purchase → Asset Manage → Refinance → Hold

    This particular deal started with the following numbers:

    • Purchase price: £3.25M

    • Refurbishment: £0

    • Occupancy: Low and under-let

    The opportunity isn't planning, refurb or development, it's asset management and if executed correctly, this is the type of deal that can create seven figures of value in a matter of months, not years.

    Listen to this episode to hear about how I unpack the numbers, the strategy, and the thinking behind the challenge and why opportunities like this are appearing more frequently in the current market.

    But can we pull it off….?!

    We shall see, have a listen to the steps and the strategy and wish me luck!

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!

  • 352 - Make £100k Income in 24 Months - 5 Step Blueprint

    352 - Make £100k Income in 24 Months - 5 Step Blueprint
    2026/03/24

    Most entrepreneurs fail because the model is broken before the work even begins.

    In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I share the secrets to the 5 Step Business Model I use to build predictable, scalable income in all of my businesses which I only usually share on my £40,000 a year private mentoring programme The Board.

    The goal is simple:

    • £100k+ Income per year within 24 months

    • £1M+ Income per year within 3–5 years

    This is the same 5-step blueprint (with 3 key components inside each step) that I teach our Board Members and the same structure I'm using to build Hill Family Office into a seven-figure annual income business in the next 2-4 years WITHOUT even running the business myself.

    If you want a business that is predictable, scalable and HIGHLY lucrative, this episode will show you how the Blueprint works.

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!

    If you're stuck operating instead of building, it's time to step back and design properly.

  • 351 - Tax Hacks: Part II – The Tax Ladder Blueprint

    351 - Tax Hacks: Part II – The Tax Ladder Blueprint
    2026/03/17

    Most people try to save tax at the wrong stage of wealth. The strategies that work at £500k net worth are completely different to what works at £20m.

    In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I break down The Tax Ladder into the five structural stages your tax strategy can evolve through as your net worth grows.

    This isn't about gimmicks or offshore fantasies. It's about understanding what level you're operating at and applying the right strategy for that level.

    Overcomplicate too early and you waste money. Stay unsophisticated too long and you lose millions.

    Wealth evolves, your tax strategy must evolve with it.

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!

    If you're stuck operating instead of building, it's time to step back and design properly.

  • 350 - 6 Figure Tax Hacks

    350 - 6 Figure Tax Hacks
    2026/03/10

    In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I break down how I've legally navigated six-figure high tax bills over recent years and the strategic shifts I've made after exploring and rejecting offshore routes.

    This year alone my return landed at multiple 6-figures so I went deep into options for restructuring, optimisation, and understanding tax as a cost of doing business in the UK rather than something to fear.

    I share several advanced strategies I've personally explored and used including chairman-level structuring concepts, group frameworks, share swaps, and the difference between relief mechanisms most people misunderstand or never reach the level to use.

    This is not advice, it's not instruction, and definitely not one-size-fits-all. It's simply my experience, what I've learned, and the frameworks high-earning individuals start thinking about once they move firmly into six and seven figure annual profit territory.

    If you're serious about scaling, structuring properly, and understanding more about higher levels of income and tax, this episode is for you.

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!

  • 349 - Level Up Blueprint - Dopamine Detox

    349 - Level Up Blueprint - Dopamine Detox
    2026/03/03

    I've started 2026 operating at a different level. I have more energy, more focus, better results and it's come from removing, not adding.

    In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I break down the Dopamine Detox Blueprint I'm currently running, discuss why modern life is draining your drive before the day even begins, and how cutting a few key habits can radically increase your productivity, clarity, and discipline with very little effort at all.

    This isn't about extreme self-denial forever. It's about short, intentional performance phases that reset your focus and put you back in control.

    Less is more. Time to get ahead of the competition.

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!

  • 348 - Ideal Financial Fortress Asset

    348 - Ideal Financial Fortress Asset
    2026/03/01
    In this month's Deals Deals Deals episode of The Blueprint Podcast, we're joined by Chris Dornan, a Property Entrepreneur Board Member, family man, and experienced property entrepreneur based near Edinburgh. Chris works closely with his business partner Tsen Wharton across several ventures, including their Emergency Accommodation business, their coaching brand Devenir Plus, and as a Property Entrepreneur Host assisting with the monthly events. Chris joined Property Entrepreneur with Tsen in 2022, and after 2 years on Adam Goff's Mastermind group, has just joined the Property Entrepreneur Board and Chris shares how this has helped their business. In this episode, Chris breaks down a mixed commercial deal with a restaurant on the ground floor and 5 flats with 11 bedrooms. The property was initially leased for 5 years for their Serviced Accommodation business providing accommodation for contractors before transitioning to working with the council for emergency housing. With an initial investment of just £21,000, Chris controlled the property before later agreeing to buy it off market, using the rental profits for their deposit. This is a powerful example of how commercial principles applied to residential assets can dramatically change the outcome of a deal — and how this approach fits into a wider Financial Fortress strategy. What you'll learn in this episode: How B2B council leases for emergency housing work in practice Why block-of-flats deals can outperform single-let and standard HMOs How rental income was used to fund the deposit How stamp duty strategy can save six figures Why this type of deal is ideal for long-term, low-friction wealth building The Deal Numbers Initial Investment: £21,000 Purchase & Valuation: Purchase price: £1.06m Valuation: £1.17m Income & Cashflow (Monthly) Rental Income Flats: £18,146 Restaurant: £1,916 Total Monthly Income: £20,062 Operating costs (including mortgage): £12,635 Net Monthly Income: £7,461 Structuring & Tax Strategy Used rental income to form the deposit Generated £5k+ immediate profit on the flats Claimed £200,000 in capital allowances Added 3 flats to the sale to qualify as a commercial transaction Residential stamp duty of £117k reduced to £18k commercial SDLT Success and failure are both very predictable.

    347 - The £20m-£100m Blueprint : Hill Family Office - Launches 1st April 2026
    2026/02/24

    This episode of The Blueprint Podcast is a personal one.

    I'm officially announcing the launch of Hill Family Office on 1st April 2026 — and more importantly, the thinking, structure, and long-term strategy behind it.

    This isn't about "making more", it's about keeping, protecting, and structuring wealth properly for the long term not just for decades, but for generations ahead.

    This is very much the next level for me, the team, for our investors, and for the long game.

    Hill Family Office goes live at www.Hill-Family.com on 1st April. We look forward to sharing the journey with you.

    Success and Failure are both very predictable.

    We hope you enjoy....!
