Tell us about yourself and what led you to become a property entrepreneur. Was this something that you’ve always wanted to do?
I fell into property investing after a failed business. I was introduced to it by a cousin hanging around some Asian kids whose parents had 20- plus properties. Their father would later take me under his wing and give me my first opportunity in property investing. This sparked a huge interest in acquiring and managing property. This is one of the reasons I love sharing property ideas and opportunities with others. If this man did not take some time to give me a chance, I wouldn’t be where I am now, where I own multiple properties and purchase numerous properties yearly.
I grew up in a council estate in South East London. The 2-bed flat was full of mould. I hated anything and everything to do with property as I always thought landlords or anyone that owned property were evil and uncaring. It’s fascinating how things have come full circle, and I’m creating beautiful homes for people to love and enjoy.
What are some of the key considerations someone needs to think about when they make the decision they want to get into the property business?
Never buy a property because it looks good. Always look at property as an investment, even if it is residential. You are likely to win if the property is bought right, in the right location, at the right price and underlying strategy. Property is one of the only investments with the opportunity to pay the owner thrice. Imagine one investment paying you three times. Let me explain. If you buy a property, you get rental income.
That is number one; secondly, if you buy a property at the right price and location, the value increases. Then you can refinance the property and take out some equity, which you can use as a deposit for another property. Lastly, property bought correctly can be used as collateral to raise money/funds to acquire more assets. Buy right, at the right price, location and underlying strategy. It’s important to note that there are nine different ways to get into property and a strategy for everyone regardless of credit, circumstance or income.
