Paul has made a name for himself with the Buy-to-Let investment strategy, and he generously shared with Property Filter members his top 5 tips on how he prevents deals from falling through:

1. Understand the basic milestones: In today's world, there is a wealth of knowledge available, so there's no excuse for not being well-informed. I made sure I mastered every milestone in the process and created a well-prepared action plan.

2. Communicate with both sides of the process: "99% of deals fail due to bad or lack of proactive and productive communication." Communication is key. If you fail to communicate, people assume that something is going wrong. I always try to share both good and bad news with both parties involved.

3. Don't rely on deals happening organically: Closing deals requires ACTIVE participation in the process or building a power team. 

4. Utilize your problem-solving skills: While smooth deals may be forgettable, standing out by solving someone's problem along the way can lead to fruitful long-term cooperation.

5. Manage your working hours effectively: Let's be brutally honest: property deals are made between 9 AM and 5 PM. Make the best use of these hours to ensure your deals are successfully completed.
