Partnering with Shaw and Tierney: A Digital Advertising Success Story

Introduction

Shaw and Tierney Property Investments is a leading company in Wales' property investment industry. They are experts in the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) and have successfully transformed undervalued properties into profitable investments.

In the world of property investment, being innovative is crucial, especially when it comes to finding off-market deals. Digital advertising has emerged as a game-changing solution for companies looking to maintain a steady flow of deals. This new approach allows investors to connect directly with motivated sellers, bypassing traditional middlemen and creating valuable opportunities.

Our collaboration with Shaw and Tierney showcases the power of targeted digital marketing:

  • Generated 7 high-quality property leads

  • Achieved an impressive £19.61 average cost per lead

  • Connected directly with motivated sellers

  • Streamlined the property acquisition process

This case study delves into how our partnership assisted Shaw and Tierney in strengthening their market position through strategic digital advertising. It demonstrates that innovative lead generation can drive significant growth in the property investment industry.

Understanding the BRRRR Strategy

The BRRRR strategy is a step-by-step method for investing in real estate. It consists of five main stages:

1. Buy

Look for undervalued properties that have the potential to increase in value. These properties are often in need of repairs or renovations.

2. Rehab

Make strategic renovations to improve the property. This can include fixing structural issues, updating the appearance, making modifications that add value, and ensuring the property meets the demands of the rental market.

3. Rent

Find reliable tenants and rent out the property at competitive market rates. This will provide you with a steady stream of income while also increasing your ownership stake in the property, covering your mortgage payments, and creating passive income.

4. Refinance

Once the value of the property has increased after renovations, refinance it to access the equity that has built up. This typically happens six months to a year after completing the renovations.

5. Repeat

Use the money you gained from refinancing to purchase more properties and grow your investment portfolio.

This approach to investing in real estate creates a cycle of generating wealth on its own. By following these steps, investors can benefit from:

  • Multiple sources of income through rental payments

  • Increased property value through strategic improvements

  • Expanding their portfolio without needing a large amount of extra money

  • Tax benefits that come with owning property

  • Building equity over time

  • Spreading out risk by owning several properties

What makes the BRRRR strategy powerful is its ability to scale - each time you successfully complete a cycle, you'll have more money available for your next investment, which will help you create wealth faster through real estate investing.

The Challenge: Sourcing Off-Market Properties

Property investors face significant hurdles when searching for lucrative off-market deals. These challenges include:

  • Limited access to motivated sellers

  • High competition from other investors

  • Time-consuming property research

  • Difficulty verifying property conditions

  • Inconsistent deal flow

Traditional methods of property sourcing - such as estate agent relationships, property auctions, and word-of-mouth referrals - often yield mixed results. These approaches can be labor-intensive and unpredictable, making it challenging to maintain a steady pipeline of high-quality deals.

The Critical Role of Motivated Sellers

Connecting with motivated vendors is essential for securing profitable deals in today's competitive market. These sellers:

  • Need quick sales due to personal circumstances

  • Are willing to negotiate below market value

  • Have properties requiring renovation

  • Prefer direct transactions without estate agents

  • Value speed and certainty over maximum price

Shaw and Tierney Property Investments recognized these sourcing challenges as a significant barrier to scaling their portfolio. The traditional methods weren't generating enough leads to support their ambitious growth plans. They needed a systematic approach to identify and connect with motivated sellers directly.

The property investment landscape demands innovative solutions to overcome these sourcing obstacles. Digital strategies offer new opportunities to reach motivated sellers at scale while maintaining cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
