Nick Claydon talks to Danny, and Katie, who discuss their journey in the property industry, reflecting particularly on their initial meeting and mentorship, as well as the challenges they faced, including personal and relationship changes. Despite these obstacles, they remained positive and committed to their goals, and here they share how they pivoted their strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic and successfully raised a million pounds in private finance, as well as their approach to scaling their portfolio, including buying 12 houses in 12 months! KEY TAKEAWAYS There is always a need to adapt and pivot quickly in order to overcome challenges and continue moving forward. By being authentic and sharing their journey, Katie and Danny were able to attract investors who believed in their vision and wanted to be a part of their success. When it comes to working with spouses or partners, Danny and Katie stress the significance of being on the same page and working together towards a common vision. Problem-solving is a key attribute of a successful property investor. We need to navigate challenges, find solutions, and overcome obstacles that arise throughout the investing journey. BEST MOMENTS "We're trying to break through and are breaking through that sort of generational wealth, glass ceiling, if you like." "We've raised a million pounds and bought 12 houses in 2021." "We stopped raising money for a little while because we thought we've actually got this all lined up and it's comfortable." "Don't stop, just keep doing it all the time, whether you think you need it or not, because the likelihood is you will."
